Question 2 of the February 2013 General Bar Exam, testing Maryland Civil Procedure, was found to be confusing because of a conflict between the Question as printed (which referred to procedures in "District Court") and the Extract (which referred to procedures in "Circuit Court"). Because of this conflict, the Board, in the interest of fairness assigned the highest raw score of 6 for that question.
