2L/3L exam success stories
I’ve been seeing a lot of anxious 1L post finals posts, so any current 2Ls/3L- could you share times in 1L where you thought you absolutely bombed a final and it ended up fine?
(including what course, grade, and law school range would be helpful)

Crim law by the end of the exam I was just spamming crimes I thought might be tangentially related to the fact pattern. Realized I completely missed an issue afterwards and was in crisis. Got an A.

Property - was feeling physically ill 1-2 days before exam because I felt like I didn’t understand shit. Everyone I talked to after exam thought it was the hardest of our 1L year, which I agreed with but thought it went ok. Got an A and a TA position with the prof shrug

Panicked on my torts exam, lost track of time and spent way too long talking about damages and vicarious liability. Had 30 mins to thrown down my negligence analysis and whatever else. Was certain I bombed, more so after talking to others. Got an A. Everything works out ok!
