I have no idea how I did on my civ pro exam. The exam seemed fairly straightforward, but I don’t honestly know how I did. You never know how you do on these exams, because how you did is plainly and simply only a measured against how everyone else did. If you saw more things, articulated more things then the others in the class, then you did well. If you saw less things, articulated worse than the others in the class you did poorly. It is the heart of the ranking system. You are only measured by your comparative performance to everyone else.
Since I last wrote, I’ve liked the idea more and more of opting out of this ranking process. It makes me feel like me again. I have no idea how it will play out because as I’ve talked about it, several friends have reminded me that you have to put your class rank on your resume and on every application you fill out. Additionally, some firms only interview those who fall within the top ten percent or the top twenty-five percent. It will be interesting to see how this all plays out.
In two days I take my next, last, and final exam for the semester: Torts. This is my only closed book exam, so the memorization begins now. I can’t say that I have ever understood the point of memorization exams. The day after the tort’s exam, I leave for 25 days in Orlando with Mike. Woooooo Hoooooo!

You don't have to put your rank on your resume.
I'm not sure Mike is, but from your wooohooo comment he must be important. Maybe even more important than your class rank!!??
Good luck with memorization--I always wonder about those exams since no one I know ever just has the answers in their head. Or what is the point of having reference books??!!
Nino Noir: and at Murrays afterwards?
Spinner8: Thanks for the info
Anonymous: Mike definitely outranks the class rank. And you see my point exactly on the whole memorization thing.
What? Anne messed up on the Contracts final??????????? Looks like hell just froze over...better put on my winter jacket.
Fuck memorization tests, all of the professors I had in my 8 years of college (no I am not a doctor...) told me memorizing was BS, and I agree.
Anyway, the hardest test I ever took was open book. Third grade history..........I will never forget it!
