I think I failed my exam last night. That exam was the one I studied for more than any other, and the one I feel worst about now. I haven't been so convinced I failed since my econ exam, and the fact I got a B on that is the only reason I'm not panicking now. I'm mentally making plans about whether or not I drop out of law school if I failed for real. I'm not saying I think I did poorly, I'm saying I think I failed. I just don't know...the entire exam was on points he hardly touched through the class. He discussed common-law extensively, the exam was all Fed law (which he gave 5 pages of for us to refer to for the exam in wholly novel areas) and MPC. I have never seen such hide-the-ball bullshit in the 2 years I've attended. I won't be upset if I get a C. I would feel better if I hadn't listened to people talking about it last night, wondering if they X or Y question wrong - I am convinced I would have done better if I just guessed at random.

I'm not happy with this, however, I'm also not freaking out upset. I've had enough setbacks that I can deal with this mentally. Dropping out is an option, and not a bad one. No law degree but I save 20 grand for a degree I'm not using. This isn't a serious consideration until I actually see the grade. I'm not happy.

Sympathies extended. for what it is worth, I thought I'd bombed my comps...seriously...because my answers were such extreme stretches and floundering about. Instead, the day I found out I passed, one of the readers actually complimented one of my answers. Huh? I can definitely understand your current frame of mind, but wait for the grade...I swear some of these old farts give questions that are "ball busters" as their idea of "prep for the real world" while forgetting that most of us have been more real for longer than they've been. Good luck.
