Short and sweet - I'm sick of lawyer hazing. What is the point of taking the MPRE when I have all the info in my head, but the damn questions are worded in such a way that you get most of them wrong? Props to Washington state, no MPRE required.
What's up MPRE writer? Do you like being a big fat jerk? I think you do!
Also MPRE writer, why can't you come up with a normal systematic way to grade the tests. Sure, I know you have your own systematic way to grade the test - just like law schools have that magic formula they pump your lsat and gpa in to accept/reject you. But to the lay test taker (ie 40 questions right out of 50 is a 80%), your methodology doesn't make any sense. Since when did mathematics teach you that 32 correct out of 50 is 85%? Basing the grading system on a question's difficulty is about as arbitrary as having a law school professor grade your paper anonymously. Yes, bell curve I know.
So it has been over two years and counting, will this law school hazing and weird legal mathematics ever stop?
