Hi Sean,

I attended Taft back in 1997 and took Baby Bar only once in
1998. I didn’t learn about Fleming’s until one month before
the Baby Bar. I passed the essays but failed the multiple
choice portion. I simply did not have time to practice more
MC questions. I think I only did about 100 questions in each
subject.
