Well, Wednesday was the MBE - the hell of exams and my hand hated me after it was all over and done with. Because mechanical pencils were not allowed, wooden pencils were the instrument of choice, and the grips on wood - well, it is nonexistent and sucks. My hand was ready to fall off at the end day two. Also the pencil sharpeners that are left around the room, well, they're electric. So in the middle of a question you will suddenly hear the whirring sound as someone sharpens what's left of their lead instrument. Irritating, yes. Avoidable, not really. Ear plugs work wonders.
The day started out a little better because there were no laptops to wait for - everyone was in the same boat. When you are working on practice exams for the MBE, time seems to take forever, but once you are in that room and the proctor tells you to begin the next thing you know they are telling you that five minutes remain.
Can't really say anything about the exam other than - wow, it can really kick your ass - but when it is all done, time is called and the materials are picked up ... it is a great feeling to know that you made it through in one piece.
The process is a long one, and hopefully most of the people that took the test will find out that they passed. Then all you have to do is get the professionalism course out of the way and you are set. Oh, btw the professionalism course is offered the day after the bar exam and I do have to say I signed up for it right away to knock everything out in a single blow.
Advice - grippers for the pencils. Make sure they are sharp and breathe.
