    Does he even understand how hard a bar exam is to pass? It’s pretty common to have to retake it.

    Seems like first time it’s between 50 to 70% of people (depending on hear,)

            I’m sure the brain-doc’s say that; mostly because there’s so much wrong with it that they’re eagerly awaiting studying how it still kinda sorta functions despite being composed of something vaguely akin to lumpy mashed potatoes.

        🫲 I mix the best drinks. People have told me, “Donald, this is the best mixed drink I’ve ever had in my life!” and then they fell to their knees and started crying. 🫱

      According to a friend of mine in California who went through the process. Grading on the bar exam there is simple. On every test, 50% pass and 50% fail. You either make the cut or retake the test. Somewhere around 70-80% of people fail to pass on the first try if I recall correctly.

      He was not much fun to be around when he finished law school and was cramming for the bar. He passed it on the 2nd attempt.

        70-80% fail on their first try, and on every test, 50% pass and 50% fail. ???

          So a bunch of people who fail on their first attempt, and they pass the second (or third) time. So, of all people who eventually pass, 70-80% took the test twice or more.

          Corollary: in any given exam, 20-50% of all exam takers are there for the second (or more) time. So the total number of first-timers is considerably less than 100% and I’m guessing that their failure rate is greater than 50%.

          A bunch fail on their first attempt, fewer fail it on subsequent attempts because they know what the test looks like and how to prep for it. If a test has a 50% pass rate but some of the test takers have taken it before and are more likely to pass, then the first time test takers will fail more than 50% of the time. Basically, the people who are on their second or third attempt will skew the results against first time test takers, because they’re eating up all of those “pass” spots.

    The far right really hate people that had to work hard and deal with setbacks to get ahead. If you’re not a nepo baby born with a silver spoon in your mouth, you’re somehow a lesser being to them.

    Maybe we should get Donald to release his SAT scores and college transcripts. Let’s see if he has any basis for complaint. I bet his scores are lower than hers.

    Trump shouldn’t be talking about someone else’s once failed bar exam, which she then passed and went on to edge out everyone else in her line of work. He’s has so many failed, bankrupt and fraudulent businesses.

    Moreover, Trump failed as a president because of his inadequate response to Covid 19. Hundreds of thousands of people died who didn’t have to, and some are still reeling from repercussions of long covid. Americans deserve better.

    The funny part is that a very large number of successful lawyers failed the bar.
