4 days till the california bar results...

why i know that i passed:
1. i used a macbook as my laptop. typing is indeed faster than cursive. ideas flow faster and efficiency is achieved on a better rate
2. experience becomes a factor. learning from the february bar has made me do the essays a little bit more analytical and more expansive than mere generalizations of law. had expounded a lot more on the PTs too compared to the one i took last february.
3. i got the PTs right down to the detail more than i did in Feb
4. i got 4 essays down to Pat, with me guessing that i did better than the scores i got last feb. more issues were explored, more analysis were given, and more IRAC was involved. if indeed i got a low essay score, it will be on questions 5 and 6, real property and CP/ Wills problem respectively.however, the good scores i sense i got from the other four would somehow counter balance that or offset the difference.
5. i chose C when i was in doubt over the MBEs and ran out of time in the morning session with the last ten numbers...i don't exactly know if that is a reason enough to pass.
6. i was inspired by niks for this bar unlike in february when there was no one i could focus my energy to.
7. God wills it that i make it this time. i know i am already ready to be a california lawyer.

why i may have failed:
- did not have enough preparation for the MBE. i didn't practice as i should have.
- no practice at all for the PT. zilch
- my failure to master CP/ Wills...again....
- only three hours of study time was devoted per day.
- i was working Full time. not advisable.
-i was busy concentrating on more essential matters of life...can't blame me, life is more than just a set of bar exams.
- family visit, took valuable time off my reading schedule..
-was not totally devoted to studying the bar.
-there was neither essay practices nor MBE simulation.
- i guess i just relied on stock knowledge.

* if i indeed made it, it's the inner voice in me that said " use a laptop and buy a mac" and of course, God's grace and nikki as my sole inspiration. not to mention luck and a lot of stock knowledge. Let's see if it worked.
