Anyone else take the exam February or July of last year and notice in taking the UBE this year that Barbri doesn't have the giant MBE Practice Questions book anymore? I feel like I've been ripped off. Anyone understand their new system and how to get the questions sets for each topic?
Thanks!

Barbri has changed the MPQ practice book. They do not have the 6 sets of practice questions for each MBE topic in the book and online. Instead there are mixed practice sets online. Rather annoyingly, they have added learning style questions which are in the format of a sentence and you fill in the blanks. They have stopped the studysmart MBE, which you can choose to select topics you wanted to focus on such as doing questions on hearsay etc. I can't believe I spent $3,000 on this. I would have been better off buying the 2017 Barbri books on eBay!!

I complained about unavailability of Study Smart MBE, and even asked BARBRI to refund $365 for something comparable, namely Adaptibar. Yesterday I got a reply that BARBRI will restore Study Smart MBE in two weeks. Although BARBRI's questions are more difficult than MBE questions, BARBRI's explanations to their questions are significantly better; you learn a lot from practicing those question. There is just no comparison to poor explanations given by Adaptibar. .UKATTORNEYUSA wrote: I know I feel ripped off too!!

"Thank you for the email. Unfortunately, we no longer have the StudySmart software. We have updated our question set modules and they will no longer be in the format of StudySmart. We do still have all of the practice questions but they have been turned into the Learnosity questions and MBE Practice question sets."
No mention of reinstating studysmart. So, now I have sent a response demanding a partial refund too!! They are playing with people's lives here.. the MBE is 50% in NY...
