Toast, that is what I felt like at 17:03 hours PST on 7.26.07. That’s when the July 2007 administration of the California Bar Exam ended (for me). The stats:
- 3 days
- 6 1-hour essays
- 2 3-hour essays
- 200 multi-choice questions (1-2 questions/page)
Significantly more arduous then the Emergency Medicine written and oral boards or the recertification exam—primarily because writing (at such length) is so alien to a scientific/medical background, education and training.
Mid-life/mid-career humor: you know you are getting old, when you go to lunch during your bar exam with your eldest son who is going to lunch from his jury duty.
Oh yea, the ordeal continues until 18:00 hours PST on 11.16.07, when you get to log-in and see if you passed…
