on the actual bar, are there ever answer choices that are wrong bc "incomplete"?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: February 17th, 2018 1:43 PM Author: Chest-beating jap cumskin this is what's giving me the most trouble on the practice Qs: choosing what the company says is true, but "incomplete." i'm usually 50/50 between the right and wrong answer, but sometimes go with the wrong "incomplete" choice.
are real bar questions ever wrong because incomplete? or are there 3 truly wrong and 1 truly correct? |
Date: February 17th, 2018 1:53 PM Author: onyx wrinkle lodge 3 truly wrong. Poast an example (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3895928&forum_id=2#35425150) |
 |
Date: February 17th, 2018 2:02 PM Author: Chest-beating jap cumskin can't think of any right now.
but basically:
A) Obviously incorrect B) Very likely incorrect C) Could be right, seems right, but would require a leap / an assumption D) Correct statement of law relevant to the problem
We're told C is correct |

Date: February 17th, 2018 2:10 PM Author: onyx wrinkle lodge Lol you're going to need a real example. But there is always a flaw in three of the answers. One is clearly better than the others. |

Date: February 17th, 2018 2:21 PM Author: Bateful masturbator Cr, but on hard questions sometimes that flaw is that it's merely incomplete. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3895928&forum_id=2#35425338) |

Date: February 17th, 2018 2:15 PM Author: Chest-beating jap cumskin i've noticed that we're told some answer choices are incorrect because they're "incomplete," and therefore, "not the best answer," in contrast with a choice that may be more complete (but also required a leap of faith / an assumption to draw the conclusion) (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3895928&forum_id=2#35425290) |

Date: February 17th, 2018 2:31 PM Author: onyx wrinkle lodge You doing Kaplan? A lot of the Kaplan, Barbri, etc. questions have misstated law. Even some of the videos and outlines have obvious errors. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3895928&forum_id=2#35425415) |

Date: February 17th, 2018 2:44 PM Author: Awkward dull half-breed I remember one barbri question I got wrong and looked at a flash card I made and was like wtf that should be right. I went back and played the video I made that card off of and compared it to the code and the barbri guy said it totally wrong. Was pissed (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3895928&forum_id=2#35425512) |

Date: February 17th, 2018 2:48 PM Author: Chest-beating jap cumskin did you notice any difference between barbri Qs and real Qs? if so, what did you notice? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3895928&forum_id=2#35425539) |
|
Date: February 17th, 2018 3:00 PM Author: Awkward dull half-breed Some of the barbri questions are worded poorly and some try to trick you with ambiguity instead of a hard nuance like the real questions. I suggest doing some real questions before you go in there. I think there's a torrent with real questions. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3895928&forum_id=2#35425608) |
|
Date: February 17th, 2018 3:07 PM Author: Chest-beating jap cumskin what's the difference between hard nuance and ambiguity?
one of the type of Qs I hate are ones that ask, e.g., "if a jury finds Defendant liable, it is most likely because the court applied the
A) Modern approach B) Common law C) English Rule D) American Rule"
C and D could be ruled out because not related to the subject matter, but fuck if I know the difference between a modern approach and common law in some niche area |
|
Date: February 17th, 2018 3:28 PM Author: Awkward dull half-breed Barbri tries to hide the ball on some questions to make them harder and you'll end up with a maybe between two answers depending on how you read the fact pattern, and the explanation will be like "this obviously meant the one way so B is correct." The real ones will have some exception to an exception that gets triggered by some detail buried in a bunch of other shit that looks like it's testing something else, but if you know the law on it really well you'll have an obvious answer choice (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3895928&forum_id=2#35425777) |

Date: February 17th, 2018 3:29 PM Author: talented talking pit more likely to happen from a test prep company than actual bar question, but still rare. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3895928&forum_id=2#35425780) |

Date: February 17th, 2018 4:19 PM Author: Excitant School Cafeteria On the MBE, some questions are dumb, and some test prep practice questions are really off. Not sure what company you're using, but I know that some show the breakdown of questions missed - so if you read their explanation and still think the answer is A, and see 50% of people also thought the answer was A, then you're probably okay as long as you understand why minimum wage test prep writer thought it was B.
On the essays, I saw at least one practice essay for my state that was just blatantly incorrect. It was in my practice area and the model answers completely mis-analyzed the issues IMO. I'd be interested to see if real graders would have given my (correct) answer a passing score, but my practice test grader did not.. |

Date: February 18th, 2018 10:57 AM Author: Chest-beating jap cumskin Subject: OK, here's a good example of a SPS question: https://imgur.com/a/XjuNn
A: Deny the motion, because no search occurred. B: Deny the motion, because fingerprinting is standard booking procedure and no warrant is necessary. C: Grant the motion, because the defendant did not consent. D: Grant the motion, if the defendant objected at the time the prints were taken. |
|
Date: February 18th, 2018 12:18 PM Author: Awkward dull half-breed A "Fingerprinting involves none of the probing into an individual's private life and thoughts that marks an interrogation or search." See Davis v. Mississippi, 394 U.S. 721, 727 (1969). |
|
Date: February 18th, 2018 2:54 PM Author: Chest-beating jap cumskin yes, A is correct, but only 23% of respondents picked it. 73% picked B.
B is also *correct* but just less responsive to the prompt, although the whole thing is made confusing because the prompt says seizure and A only refers to a search |
|
Date: February 18th, 2018 6:33 PM Author: talented talking pit but A implicitly presumes they would need a warrant if they did an actual search but can't you always do a search that is "incident to arrest?" (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3895928&forum_id=2#35432912) |
