MBE PQ set 6 is fucking hard. Not positive, but was this the set everyone was talking about how brutal it was earlier in the thread?

Everyone will get different questions in their sets. They are tailored for you to work on your weak spots. So not really comparable.

Can confirm. I killed PQ set 6, got brutally demolished by PQ set 7. Themis giveth. Themis taketh away.

The brutal one that everyone freaked out about was Con Law PQ 5, but yes, Mixed 6 was also pretty difficult.

This is the absolute truth.

Just finished a MBE PQ set in test mode rather than interactive mode. My score was substantially higher in test mode (68% vs. 90%). I'm not going to take any more PQ sets in interactive. Maybe this will help others?

Never mind then, just me

God damn, i'd kill for consistent 68s at this point.

I just got one of those NCBE modified questions, but the real version was in the S&T Book. I guess I fooled the system

[Virindi]

any CA takers - how are you seperating out CA from MR for professional responsibilities?

is there a chart or something condensed somewhere that i missed?

it feels like the outlines just ramble and there's no clear, coherent way to digest the differences

[kay2016]

Finally doing the graded MPT, haven't really done any.

These suck.

The brutal one that everyone freaked out about was Con Law PQ 5, but yes, Mixed 6 was also pretty difficult.

And I skipped Con Law PQ 5 and went to PQ 6 since everyone hated PQ 5 but Themis was on to me and PQ 5'd my PQ 6 and I got 48%. So, yes, I think we aren't all doing the same questions in the same order at this point.

Did you say 90%? I practically throw myself a party when I get in the 70s on a PQ set.

Does anyone have a good way of memorizing/keeping clear in your mind the joinder of parties and joinder of claims? Plus considering the diversity jurisdiction and federal question nuances. The cross claims, counterclaims, intervention, impleader, and interpleader....

Literally going though all the the Themis PR model answers and copying and pasting the CA distinctions used in those into a word doc and going to memorize. I figure they are the most heavily tested distinctions and would be most efficient to memorize them.

So, pretty much everything about civ pro?

yeah...can someone just implant civ pro into my brain? I went over the FRO for civ pro and my notes again and I'm still just a big question mark. I want to figure out a way to remember it in a way that makes sense.

[UMich11]

Just got a call from the MI themis rep (i'm doing MI bar) said i'm on track to hit 75% (at 65% and haven't done MBE or Essay exam) and that i'm doing fine on the MBE and Essays.

Anyone in Michigan care to share how they're doing? I'm at average of 58% on MBE and most essay scores are between 50% and 70%, though some outliers very low. Seems like i'm not hitting my stride though.

Doing Adaptibar too and i'm at 63% average there.

Currently going through all michigan distinctions and typing up an outline based on Themis outline and lecture notes. making comments on Critical Pass cards for MBE subjects.

Dude, I wish I could help. That's my weakest subject. I'm only getting 60% of those correct.

I know it will probably be only one/maybe none/no more than two questions on the MBE, but the Rule Against Perpetuities can eat a fat one.

I'm not even bothering with it - 1 or 2 questions on MBE and not tested for MD essays. I always get confused with who is the measuring life. My best friend has practiced trusts and estates for 13 years now and she thinks it's fun. It takes all kinds.

Be careful. It could be tested in the Trusts essay if there is one. Trusts includes future interests and RAP as well.

Goal of 70% on the Mixed Set of 100 in the book is an A+ troll job, even by Themis' already lofty standards

I agree. They have,essentially, put me out of reach of any future goal.
