Dec. 4th, 2003 10:40 pmI just took my first law school exam - Contracts I. I feel very good about it. I studied, perfect. I did the previous year's exams, at just the right time. I goofed off and napped today, just the right amount. I was early to the exam, and parked in the garage in case of snow. I had 2 of everything.
Got the exam, started a little slow but made notes on how long I spent on each question. I relied on the two smallest piece of info I had - my one page issue spotter which was developed based on mistakes during the practice exams, and my 7 page outline. Dood...I either rocked or I think I rocked. I spotted issues all over. I hit main issues, sub issues, and you're really stretching issues. I took a bit long on an early essay, and cruised like mad on the others. I read, re-read, checked cases & restatements & UCC, then re-read. Then I outlined, from there I answered. I reviewed, and wrote down the time on each question.
I finished with about a minute to spare. I only realized at that point that a lot of people were no where near finishing. Hee! I won't know my score for ages, but I am happy. I did everything I know to do well. I felt like i knew what I was doing during the exam, and after hearing other people talk about the questions I've yet to hear an issue I missed or failed to cover well. This...is a good feeling. I'll have to look this post up with I find out that on the curve I just got a C-!
