This thread is specifically for those of you who will be taking the Virginia bar. NY and CA get the most attention, but VA is overall the shittiest experience (110 degree Roanoke, suits, terrible tech support, a zillion subjects). I took it and passed. The advice/support that I received from XO was key to this. To pay back society, I'll take questions here throughout the summer.

I didn't check the weather on exam day, but it felt like 105 degrees. Especially because they make you wait outside of the civic center for both sessions. And inside it is hot as fuck because there are 1,000 people in suits packed together.

I'm interested in this too. Any seersucker?

Also, I have in-laws in Roanoke and have been there a couple of times. It's a complete shithole (and this comes from someone who grew up in a legit rust-belt shithole).

Any info on essay scoring? BarBri says we need an average of 7/10 on each essay, which seems awfully high compared to other states' essays. I can't figure out if there's a curve, if there are more than 10 possible points on each essay (so even though the max score is capped at 10, there are multiple ways to get there), or something else.
