What is the main objective of the bar exam?

This question is primarily for people involved in decision making for the bar exam.

Let me begin by saying I am all in support for minimum competency test. Here are my issues with this exam (coming from person who is taking J23)

MPT: I understand that this test is to check whether future attorneys can write or draft with given resources. I have major problems putting time constraints of 1 1/2 hours each. In real life we get enough time to draft. I am not saying give us whole day but give us one question in three hours so that we understand and articulate the case and draft.

MEE: I am sitting for UBE so I can only talk about it, I think this test is great in philosophy but how on earth they expect one person to keep all legal issues of 13 subjects where each individual subject is a complete field of practice for an attorney.

MBE: The big one, I have same issue as I have for MEE and on top of that why create a question and answer choice which confuses people. How that serves minimum competency where question are deliberately designed to confuse. This seems the way to just avoid attorneys into practicing and extract money from failing more people. Also, why we can have just 100 questions in one sitting and get over with. Why have two, wouldn’t one sitting enough to know whether there is competency or not. Two sitting make it more exhausting than increase the chance of error.

TESTING: If there is minimum competency then why have curve. Just put that anyone who scores 70 or 80 percent passes the test. Rest others fails. Design questions which actually want to know our knowledge not “Gotcha U”. Lastly have open process than closed one which gives idea some fishy thing going on.

Anyway I am ranting because I feel this is unfair exam and I will believe it even if I pass the bar.
