Barbri AMP and the "additional learning" option
Unfortunately I did not do the pre-course work that was assigned the week before the barbri class started, so now I am trying to play catch up by doing assignments for each night after class and also the corresponding AMP assignments from the week before. Because of this I haven't really looked at the additional learning option in the AMP modules when I get questions wrong. Is this option something that is recommended/necessary or am I taking the "do everything Barbri tells you to do" mantra too seriously?

About half of the people I know who skipped the pre-course work wound up failing the bar.

Re: Barbri AMP and the "additional learning" option
one guy showed up to the Barbri session I'm going to not having completed all of the pre coursework - the professor actually kicked him out of the room and said "good luck in February" when he couldn't define horizontal privity and give the situations where you need it
I thought it was a little harsh but then again everyone else thought the bar exam was important enough to do the work beforehand so I can't say I'm surprised

Re: Barbri AMP and the "additional learning" option
Since when does Barbri ask anyone attending the course to say anything in class, let alone define stuff?stratocophic wrote:one guy showed up to the Barbri session I'm going to not having completed all of the pre coursework - the professor actually kicked him out of the room and said "good luck in February" when he couldn't define horizontal privity and give the situations where you need it

Re: Barbri AMP and the "additional learning" option
Dead serious. Most people have their shit together, the bar is extremely important. But a few people insisted on phoning it in, doing something less than everything BarBRI said, taking a night or a weekend off here and there... mostly they were already unemployed, but the few who had firm gigs lined up saw them yanked away within days of failing the bar.wildhaggis wrote:Not sure if serious.thesealocust wrote:About half of the people I know who skipped the pre-course work wound up failing the bar.

It was very grim.

Re: Barbri AMP and the "additional learning" option
So taking a day or two off here or there and not doing all the pre-class lessons significantly increases the likelihood of failure? Strange. I've never heard that, but I trust your word over most.

Re: Barbri AMP and the "additional learning" option
Every single person that I talked to in my bar review course (surprisingly) said that they had yet to do the preliminary stuff. I was pretty shocked. I am not planning on blowing it off and I understand the need to complete every single assignment.
Also, the Barbri guy (academic attorney??) that I talked to said that it was not insurmountable but that it makes life a little more difficult for that period of time. He also noted that because the course literally just started this week for me, that I have yet to experience a large Barbri workload. But yes I can imagine that taking a lax attitude toward bar prep can hurt. I got the impression that as long as you bust ass and make up whatever you miss, you should be alright as long as you're not a moron.

I cannot tell who in this thread gets the jokes and who doesn't. But seriously obviously you have to do all the AMPs.

I believe this joke has run its course.
This is a decent effort though.Bronte wrote:I cannot tell who in this thread gets the jokes and who doesn't. But seriously obviously you have to do all the AMPs.
