Did anyone feel as if the July MBE focused more on evidence than any other subject?

If you check out the state of bar examiner's site, its says that on the MBE, 31 questions also deal with the area of evidence. Of these, 33% of the questions deal with the area of presentation of evidence, 33% deal with hearsay and circumstances of its admissibility, and 33% deal with relevancy and reasons for excluding relevant evidence, privileges and other policy exclusions, and writings, recordings, and photographs. So, maybe evidence was a factor in other questions but only 31 questions directly related to an evidence answer.

I know what the board of law examiners say is the standard. The say the same thing on their website, but based on reports from test takers, there was a disproportionate amount of evidence questions on the m/c section of the MBE.

I think its safe to say that if you study the pillar subjects, contracts, evidence, criminal law, and torts, that you can ace the MBE regardless of what the makeup of the questions are.

Its two months after the MBE and there has been little written about the evidence questions on the net other than my thread. So, i just it was all in my head.

If you check out the National Conference of Bar Examiners they have a webpage with facts on how the MBE is devices and how questions are allocated by topic.
