Sounds like a silly way to test.The Summer 2003 Virginia State Bar Exam destroyed people. There were NO questions on Criminal Law or Criminal Procedure, and only half a question on Civil Procedure. At the same time, there was one full question on Commercial Paper and half a question on Secured Transactions (or vice versa, I can't remember exactly anymore). So, the stuff everyone had studied wasn't even asked, and the stuff no one had studied accounted for nearly 20% of the essay score. There was much anguish, and the failure rate jumped by a good 10 to 15%. It was a bad year for a lot of people. Fortunately, three days before the exam, Scienter and I decided that, even though we had been advised not to bother with Commercial Paper and Secured Transactions, we would study them anyway 'just in case.' So, we passed without any problems.

The poorest man may in his cottage bid defiance to all the forces of the Crown. It may be frail; its roof may shake; the wind may blow through it; the storm may enter; the rain may enter; but the King of England cannot enter – all his force dares not cross the threshold of the ruined tenement! - William Pitt the Elder
