You've probably done more questions than normal.

If it makes you feel better, i'm in the same boat. I don't have a ton of stuff memorized but if i read it i would recognize it pretty quickly. Hopefully things clear up in the next month.

Doing the MBE simulation tomorrow. 6 whole hours of MBE questions.
Really hoping for a 121/190. Spend the next month hitting hit hard, and kick it up to 136/190.

I thought it was in one of our books? I have one more book in my box that says simulated MBE but I've never opened it.kmp127 wrote:Hey I just saw it on the schedule too, but where is it exactly? You're right, there's barely any direction...bmili wrote:For Barbri Texas people:

Re: BarBri Bar Review Hangout - July 2015 Exam
For those doing Adaptibar and Barbri, I assume that you have noticed the wide discrepency between the Torts Adaptibar questions and the MPQ set Torts questions. That being, the Adaptibar questions are often 2-3 paragraphs (if not more) while the Barbri ones are usually short. Any idea which is more indicative of actual MBE? Were torts questions changed at some point?

Re: BarBri Bar Review Hangout - July 2015 Exam
Mildly annoyed by how Barbri actively sends us solicitation emails as well as messages, asking us to buy their $99 last min review or their personal tutoring. I'm sorry, didn't I just pay almost $4000? It would have a nice good will feel if they tacked on the last min review for free or offered everyone an hour of free tutoring (which would probably encourage people to buy more hours!). Sorry, end rant.

Re: BarBri Bar Review Hangout - July 2015 Exam
Yes, but I remember seeing some criticism of Adaptibar somewhere that said various questions of the test may now be formatted differently. Thus, even if Adaptibar is utilizing real tort MBE questions from 1990, doesn't necessarily mean that that modern day NCBE questions are similar in construction. The discrepancy between Barbri and Adaptibar is dramatic, so I figured I would ask.3|ink wrote:Aren't Adaptibar questions actual mbe questions?Kage3212 wrote:For those doing Adaptibar and Barbri, I assume that you have noticed the wide discrepency between the Torts Adaptibar questions and the MPQ set Torts questions.

For my state, it's scheduled for tomorrow with all of the analysis videos scheduled for Saturday and Sunday. My state hasn't been assigned any of those 50 question mixed sets yet, so the 200 question simulated is our first mixed set period (besides the diagnostic in the beginning).old_soul wrote:On another note, when is the Simulated MBE for y'all?
My PSP says July 7th. I thought I read somewhere that it was supposed to be at the end of June?

This is my first exposure to Sec Trans in any form whatsoever and it seems totally unrelated to basically anything else. Like, these are rules for bankers or something, not lawyers.
The prof, Molls or whatever, is pretty tolerable, though.

Re: BarBri Bar Review Hangout - July 2015 Exam
For the NY people, what are your thoughts about approaching the NY non MBE subjects? Without doing questions like the MBE subjects, I am not really sure how I can ever remember all those stuff - and I don't even know how much time is worth spending on memorizing them. Has anyone been given any advice on how to go about those subjects?

I'm very frustrated that BarBri doesn't really give us any tools for learning the state subjects. No AMP, no questions to practice with other than a few essays. I guess we're just on our own to memorize those subjects?rhs100 wrote:For the NY people, what are your thoughts about approaching the NY non MBE subjects?

Re: BarBri Bar Review Hangout - July 2015 Exam
Actually, with stuff piling up, i think everyone should google "ny bar essay frequency" and decide for themselves how to focus cramming. Wills is by far the most important state subject to know, but for example, secured transactions, no fault insurance, or conflicts of law or even trusts don't show up too much. Corporations, Wills, Domestic Relations seem to be pretty important though.

How is LeanSheets working out for you? Sufficient info to answer the MBE questions and write essays?

Re: BarBri Bar Review Hangout - July 2015 Exam
Lean sheets is good, but I actually have been stuck on the essays. I feel I need to cram a little more and do them a little later, so I have a bunch piled up. I've been keeping up with the lectures though, and doing mbe questions. I'm undecided about doing a few essays open book, but I need to figure that out soon too.myrtlewinston wrote:Plus NY Practice!victortsoi wrote:Actually, with stuff piling up, i think everyone should google "ny bar essay frequency" and decide for themselves how to focus cramming.
