Rough Day

Well, it's been a tough one so far. I just got done doing a bunch of MC and it didn't work out so well. This was my first try at "Mixed Subjects" as opposed to focusing only on questions for one subject. So, you're basically reading the question trying to figure out what subject and then what rule to use. Too bad they don't label them! That would be great. (#9-- Torts.)

I have just graded a 50-question MC. Here are my stats:

Total: 27/50 correct.
Torts: 4/9
Property: 7/9
Evidence: 6/9
Con Law: 5/7
Crim: 4/7
Contracts: 1/9 (gasp!)

I'm kind of surprised that Crim wasn't better since yesterday I was getting 80% on those questions.

I've done 550 multiple choice questions so far. I've heard people recommend doing 2,000 before the bar exam. I'll get close to that-- if you can believe it. If I only take 2.5 minutes per question that's 83 straight hours of multiple choice-- 3.5 full days (24hrs straight). That would be two full weeks of work if it was a job.

Not having to do multiple choice for a living-- priceless.

PS. Am so glad you got the books, Dad. I thought that Tom Brokaw book looked interesting. The other one might be cheesy, but it sounded interesting, too. I don't know much about Tim Russert-- I was afraid he was too liberal, but Rusty said it probably wouldn't matter.

Thanks for the birthday card! It cheered me up yesterday. And thanks for the check! Thinking about how to use it... :D
