Practice Exams - Ontario Bar
I found Edmund to be a level of difficulty that was comparable (sometimes harder) than the actual bar exam. There are tons of questions too. However, the software is a bit frustrating. If memory serves correctly, the questions are not separated by subject, so it means you are practising all barrister or all solicitor subjects at once, which is tedious. You do get used to it though and I really did feel like the questions prepared me well. -

Practice Exams - Ontario Bar
Greetings, Ive finished law school and now it's on to the Bar exam. I was wondering - in everyone's experience, what company sells the best practice exams? I'd ideally like practice exams that are as hard or harder than what the actual exam contains, to help prepare my skill set. Many thanks! -

"The figures in the above grid reflect decisions as of September 23, 2022." I don't think the index score profile for last year's cycle is on the U of M website. -

Chance me for UOFT Law and Osgoode
My B3 gpa is looking to be 3.7 at the end of this semester. If it changes anything i do come from a lifesci background and i ended up getting a c+ in fourth year which took my gpa down like 0.6 grade points. My Lsat score was 168. Im curios as to whether or not i have a shot at either of these schools. -

Looking at last year's Index Score Profile on the U of M website, it doesn't look like CYCLONIX's are on there. Anyone know if this list includes ALL offers? -

First Year Associate Job Market
This has been covered extensively in other threads. Unfortunately it is the most difficult time in one's career to obtain a new position -- positions are scarce and applicants are plentiful. The only answer is network, network, network. If offered, accept any reasonable position for at least one year, in order to get over the "no experience" bias.- 4

Binding Bar Exam Materials?
I had mine printed and bound in 13 groups at Net Plaza. Price was reasonable for only $154.67- + hst=$174.77-. Location is also ideal - corner of Spadina and College. Just took lite train 510 from Union Station. Very accessible. Good thing, they know what to do as they've been printing the licensing materials in the past. -

First Year Associate Job Market
I've been actively applying for positions as a new called lawyer but the current market in the GTA is extremely dreadful. Every firm is looking for atleast 2-3 years of experience. Even the junior associate positions requires a year or two. Has anyone been stuck in this situation before and if so, kindly share the steps you took to land an associate position. -
