Why I Hate the California Bar: Reason #10 Billion

As I was filling out the yellow sheet to pick up my exam when I came across a notice that unless I paid 40 bucks to receive a copy of my exam (as opposed to the original), I would permanently waive any right to apply for reconsideration. In light of the previous post, I seriously considered paying to preserve this right, but I couldn’t find a working bank machine and it was raining, so I decided to fuck the 40 dollars.

All I can say is that after quickly scanning my test packet, thank god for the rain and general laziness on my part. Apparently, when you get your test back, there isn’t a single marking or notation that would allow one to figure out how the grader arrived at the particular score on a given essay.

Once again the California Bar has found an ingenious method to bilk even more money out of the whole bar experience. It’s a veritable catch-22. You have to pay the 40 bucks before you see your exam in the hopes that you might be able to challenge the test, but of course have no opportunity to determine whether or not the additional money is worth it by viewing the test beforehand. I’m sure quite a few individuals are lured into the trap, but in the end it’s a total scam. So, I’d like to congratulate the Committee of Bar Examiners for finding yet another ingenious way to prey on hapless bar examinees in their never ending quest to make a quick and easy buck. Fuckers.
