Stats from the Practice

So, I thought it would be interesting to look at some stats from my practice test. My overall score was 111/200 = 55.5% which doesn't sound too impressive. But, as I've said, the nation-wide average is 104, so I'm just a tad above that. Broken down by subject, it looks like this:

Torts: 62%
Property: 58%
Con Law: 58%
Crim/Crim Pro: 55%
Evidence: 52%
Contracts: 50%

So, it would appear that I'm strongest in Torts, Property and Con Law. That Crim grade is interesting because in Crim Pro I only get a 27%, which means I'm getting 68% of the pure crim questions right. So Crim Pro is my weakest subject. As I suspected, I really need to work harder in Contracts.

The first 100 (during which it seems I had a pretty consistent performance) I took at the kitchen table in the morning, moderately stressed and bored. It looks breaks down like this:

Torts: 67%
Property: 63%
Con Law: 50%
Crim/Crim Pro: 63%
Evidence: 44%
Contracts: 44%

But here's something I find even more interesting. The last section of 100 questions there is a big divide. I took it in the afternoon. I did 50 questions at the table, stressing out and not focusing very well. The last 50 I did in my room, on my bed, very relaxed. Here's how it breaks down:

First 50 Questions:
Torts: 50%
Property: 44%
Con Law: 33%
Crim/Crim Pro: 30%
Evidence: 60%
Contracts: 45%

Second 50 Questions:
Torts: 58%
Property: 63%
Con law: 82% !!
Crim/Crim Pro: 71%
Evidence: 57%
Contracts: 80% !!

That first group of 50 in the afternoon really dragged the rest of the test down!
I would assume that the first 100 from the morning are the most similar to how I would do on the real exam. The bad 50 from the afternoon would be worst case "freak out" scenario. Then, of course, the last 50 would be a "perfect world" kind of situation.

I have to point out that even in the morning, my Crim Pro stuff was ba-aad! 20% on that stuff. On pure crim stuff I got an 82%. I sure do know those crimes!
