OK doesn't have the multistate? In CA the bar is three complete days. The first day is 3 essays in the morning and a performance test in the afternoon. The second day is the multistate, composed of 200 multiple choice questions spread out 100 in the morning and 100 in the afternoon. They have a variety of fact patterns and are very challenging. The third day is 3 essays in the morning again and a performance test in the afternoon.

Performance tests are "closed world" situations where the bar gives you case law or statutes and you have to either write a memo, a pleading or rewrite a statute. For those who have taken real property, the second performance test on my bar was on the "Rule Against Perpetuities." We had to rewrite the statute. The whole room was laughing when we opened it up. Can you imagine a more tortious way to spend 3 hours than writing about the RAP?

All I have to go on here is hearsay. I'm not really sure -- that's the way it was about 5 years ago is all I know. Could have -- and probably has changed since then.
