Themis Bar Review Hangout - July 2016 Forum

[Nauzie]

Hello! I am taking the California BAR!

I am using Adaptibar and I purchased the critical pass App in addition to Themis.

My advice is if you're gonna spend the money on notecards buy the one for $95 on Adaptibar and not Critical pass. I do not like critical pass at all....

As far as the questions being the same.. so far ive done about 200 questions on Adabtibar and a WHOLE bunch in Themis and i have not seen any that were identical or even similar.

[ultimolugar]

ultimolugar: are you talking about the 3rd set of MBE pqs? if so, they are ridiculously difficult. some of the questions are just patently stupid and I read some other people having issues too. I dropped from 80% to 44%, then went back up to 80% on the next set.

Yes, are all the third question sets for the mbe topics like this? Fuck. I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one.

[ultimolugar]

Anyone with adaptibar finding those qs a lot harder?

Yes, they are vastly different. I'm telling you.

This MBE Property guy is annoying as fuck. Somebody please tell me he gets better after the first couple lectures - 25 with this guy seems like torture.

It's the nervous cracking jokes/joke questions conversationally when it's a PRE-RECORDED LECTURE. I CAN'T ANSWER YOU JUST TEACH ME PROPERTY.

Wait until you guys get to remedies... It was the most frustrating lecture I've ever endured in my life. She was HORRIBLE. stumbled through the whole thing.

Moving onto property now. Not having high hopes based on this thread.

[Easy-E]

the contracts dude is prob the best lecturer (the ridiculous and overwrought caterpillar analogy notwithstanding)

I don't know what you're talking about that caterpillar analogy cleared contracts right up

I'm having hard time getting my head around this idea. I understand the UCC assumes a K is "at most, only a partial integration", but I can't follow the exception. "Unless the parties would have certainly included a disputed term in the writing". So if the parties would have definitely included a disputed term in the writing, the UCC considers the contract completely integrated? Can someone come up with an example of this?

So how do I mark my lectures as complete? I've watched them all but it doesn't say that I have.... what?

Nvm... I watched the videos but forgot to do the assessments

This happened to me for the first 6 or 7 Contracts videos.

Is there any way to download the videos so I can watch them offline? I have a beautiful rooftop deck and this is the first sunny day in over a month, but there's no wifi up there.

I think you MIGHT be able to do this with the Themis iPad/iPhone app? They might have an app for Android, I don't know.

You can download videos on the Android app.

My property class didn't cover the RAP or mortgages. But Themis seems to really like those topics.

I dont think I'm going to overburden myself with RAP. Mortgages are destroying my brain though. I'm going to have to drill that in.

[unidentifiable]

Is reading the MPT outline particularly useful?

It seems pretty damn long, and I'd rather not use that time if they're just going to go over it all in the lecture.

Same. Reading the outline was awful.

Checking in...just started yesterday and taking PA.

I know I'm about a week behind you guys, but I managed to finish MBE Contracts & Sales in 2 days. Got a 75% on the first PQ set (17) and I'm moving on to my state distinctions.

Sorry if this was asked, but anyone else speed up the videos? I watch the vids at 2x speed. I follow along with the printed out handouts (free printing at my job) and I'm seeming to retain everything. Granted, I took remedies as a 3L, so 1/3rd of this was just easy review, but still, seems weird blowing through videos quickly while everyone else is complaining already about 12 hr days.

For the guys who already passed, is that kosher? I'm putting in about half the time, but according to PQ, I'm doing fine. WUG?


edit: Again, I'm PA, so not like I'm NY or CA.
