Awesome job, Splitter! You're gonna kill it! I've had to just reiterate to myself not to let myself get too cocky... Keep studying like I was in the beginning. That would probably scale to a 170 if you matched on the second half. Man, that would be sweet!bluesplitter wrote:Exam # 3 Reports

No, you're 100% right. I was doing it out of 200 instead of 190. Regardless, even with a 160-165, barring absolute disaster on the essay/MEE portion of his test, he's golden.KTnKT wrote:How do you figure what that would scale to?NY_Sea wrote:Awesome job, Splitter!

I've been doing 190 x .78(or applicable percentage made into a decimal)= 148.2 then adding 10-15 points for scaling. Is that wrong?
650 questions is nothing... I started around that percentage and didn't start to see any serious improvement until I was probably 800ish questions in. You really start to pick up on patterns and solidify the law in your head by the point (assuming you're reading the explanatory answers... If not, start doing that IMMEDIATELY, because it's a huge help). Just for reference, I started around there when I started doing Adaptibar questions in the last week of October... I just took the BARBRI simulated MBE and got 159/200 raw, so it's absolutely possible to make serious improvements.Nevergiveup15 wrote:bluesplitter wrote:Exam # 3 Reports

Well done, that's good going! I'm 650 questions in and only averaging 58% with 3 weeks to go![]()

Thanks for the encouraging words NY_Sea. Yes, I have already started to see patterns which I have been jotting down for each subject so that I can read through them in the days leading up to the exam.NY_Sea wrote:650 questions is nothing...

This is true... And it's also why I make sure I know the reasons for each question I got right and got wrong. As I'm going through the question I make mental notes (K formed here, Merchant + Written offer to hold open, Signed contract for land sale= possible equitable conversion/burden of risk, etc.)... As long as you do that, I think doing questions you have seen can really help solidify the reasons in your head.iwantmybar wrote:Problem with the exams on adpatibar is the repetition of the questions because when you answered all the questions, you are going to seem them again in the simulated exams.
Last july I took two sets (2008 and 2006 ) and scored respectively 77 and 74. I was very happy & confident.
I also scored 62 on both 2011 and 2013 tests a fews days before.
I scored 121 on the real test which, according to Seperac, meant I answered only 97 questions correctly....![]()
Truth is I was probably remembering a lot of the answers without actually understanding them deeply..
Also, civ pro was not included.
Similar to me, I got an 83, an 80, and a couple of high 70's I think.iwantmybar wrote:Problem with the exams on adpatibar is the repetition of the questions because when you answered all the questions, you are going to seem them again in the simulated exams.

I would if you could... I've found that doing the adaptibar questions has helped me understand the law better and has probably led me to do exponentially better on the MPQs this time around.THE_U wrote:I'm at 1060 questions on Adaptibar and haven't done any of the OPE's yet.
After reading the last few posts, I dunno if I should even bother and just do the remaining Barbri practice tests instead.

I do a combination... I do 30 adaptibar questions a day (Only 22/30 today... Wish they would stop feeding me 10 Civ Pro questions a day lol) and then whatever, if anything, BARBRI assigns for MPQs. I think they both serve different purposes... Adaptibar questions get you comfortable with what (presumably) the questions are going to be like on test day. While BARBRI tests on pretty ticky tack stuff sometimes, which is also nice just in case the NCBE decides to go down that route on some questions.Sue wrote:Just did NCBE OPE4 (2013). Was able to finish in 2 hrs 33 mins, which is good for me because I have been struggling with time.
Got 80/100. Not sure though, I might have remembered few answers from practice questions I've done. Also, CivPro is not included![]()
As to Barbri, I did only the Sim.exam, and got 125/200 raw. I am thinking to spend some time on Barbri sets next week.
Does anyone think it is worth the time, or I should stick with Adaptibar and memorizing the rules?
Can you copy and paste the question in here... Would make it easier to answer your question.THE_U wrote:Anyone do Property question #1149?
I understand the RAP violation here and got the question correct, but I don't understand part of Adaptibar's explanation.
Adaptibar claims that the interest which violates RAP is a contingent remainder, yet I don't see how that is the case. I thought that contingent remainders cannot cut short an estate, and must follow the natural expiration of it (i.e. contingent remainders go with life estates and not fee simple estates). Wouldn't the interest here be an executory interest, since it cuts short the estate upon the condition occurring? Also, I thought remainders by definition went to some 3rd party and not the grantor. I thought the future interest in a grantor was a reversion, right of reentry, and possibility of reverter?
OR is this neither of those and simply an "option to purchase," which is also subject to RAP?
I must be missing something and I apologize if I just made no sense whatsoever.
Now there's a charge.
