From the NY Bar Examiners:
RE-APPLICANTS
(1) If you took the February 2007 bar examination, you need not re-apply at this time. Please await the release of the results from the February 2007 examination. When the results of the February 2007 are released in May, failing applicants will be given 21 days from the date of the failure notice to re-apply for the July 2007 examination.
(2) If you applied for the February 2007 exam but did not sit for the entire examination, the deadline to re-apply for the July 2007 exam is still April 25, 2007.
(3) If you previously filed an application to sit for the New York bar examination within the past 5 years, you should file either the on-line or paper version of the Re-Application form. The deadline is April 25, 2007. If you have not filed an application to sit for the bar examination within the past five years you must file either the on-line or paper first time application.
(4) If you were issued a credit voucher for your application fee, you should download and mail a Re-Application form together with the Credit Voucher.
I am not suggesting that I failed, or am thinking that I failed but this is info that is handy. The exam was surreal that I cannot really ‘attach’ a feeling to it, all I can say is I don’t know if I passed of failed but I would not be surprised if I failed.

I just got back from NY and am back in my country. The past few days have been spent getting the exam out of the system.
Well due to the rules I can’t talk about the exam – I am assuming that I can talk about it in a very general way. The PMBR books WERE NOT like the ones in the exam, well there only some – the HARD questions and “new format” questions where you have to work out what area of law you are in. Lots of But ifs, only if, blah.. i can’t remember it right but you know what I mean. But anyway, I think it was because the bar examiners have totally rewritten it due to the PMBR copyright case.
Some kids thought the July one was easier but the the JD Jive site is always full of BS so hard to tell. Everyone thought this was extremely hard and one of the others commented that they had done really well on practice exams and this was nothing like it. We all agreed that this time round, PMBR did not advantage us.
