Barbri paced program question? Forum

[jd20132013]

do some AMPs they are low pressure bite sized way to study while giving brain a rest

[rawrab]

so weird I am feeling exactly the same. I feel like I peaked 2 weeks ago and was feeling awesome, now I can't read anything and just want to curl up into a ball and die I have so much to memorize and I can't even bring myself to look at anything, I don't know how it will be possible!

[LAWYER2]

I seem to be doing great on harder areas with tons of nuances and crappy on straight forward questions. I either over-think the answer, or assume its a trap. Anyone else noticing this?

Glad (well, maybe that's not the right word) to see some other people in the same boat. I'm good for 7-8 hours of solid studying per day, but there's a precipitous dropoff in ability to retain information after that (sometimes after only 4-5 hours).

And I'm also in the boat where I start to forget stuff that I knew cold earlier in the day. When I was in law school I took that as a sign it was time to quit studying for the day. Tougher to do right now!

This describes me perfectly. I can't wait for this thing to be over.

Idk if I've said this before, the days and posts are running together but David Epstein is a God

I remember about a month ago some people were talking about how frustrating it was to have essays assigned since we don't know the BLL yet. Yeah….I still feel that way. I'm staring down a corporations essay right now about 10b-5 and fuck if I remember all of the elements. Guess I'll be open booking this one. Hopefully I can do some decent essays closed book before, you know, the actual day of the bar.

Epstein is nuts, which is why I respect him. He made a reference to "Behind the Green Door" in his contracts casebook. Richard Freer is probably me second favorite lecturer in the Barbri series. "It's RAMBO time!"

Did anyone notice that Chemerinsky reads his outline word for word from memory?

My bar has a professional responsibility essay portion. Does anybody know if Sarbanes-Oxley requires or merely allows outside reporting if climbing the corporate ladder fails?

Reporting up is mandatory, reporting out is permissive.

I got 97 on barbri sim mbe
my percentile rank is 18

Should I give up or what?


I took NCBE previous test after and got 65% right with a time crunch. Am I the only who who is slow with ready on papers compared to computer or ipad?

I appreciate any positive tip that can help.

How are some people possibly finished with their lectures?
I have them going up until July 16
and I can't possibly watch more than one of these per day

so I hear that once you get past studysmart set 4 the questions become absurdly difficult and esoteric

anyone else going to just quit studysmarts after that and study solely from real past MBE questions?

Yup, that's what I am going to do. Where can one get these MBE questions from Barbri? I see some stuff online of mixed sets.

Same... I took a look at them and they are incredibly difficult to the point where they are unhelpful/ a confidence killer.

I have been using Adaptibar, but I think BarBri has them in PDF format somewhere but I am actually not too sure about that.

I'm not sure if the Mixed Subject Set PDFs on BarBri website are real past MBE questions either, and I'm having trouble determining this. You'd think it would be clearly stated somewhere. Why the hell should I spend all my time practicing w/ questions that are gonna turn out to be totally unlike real MBE questions? Even if the real ones end up being easier, it would still be an unpleasant surprise to see for the first time on exam day that they're totally different.

Alright I'm trying to figure out how essay/MPT scores are factored into your overall score. Can anyone explain this?

My state is 50% MBE, 38% essay, and 12% MPT. The essays are graded on a 6 point scale. The required score to pass is 270. So if I scored a 135 on the MBE, what essay/MPT scores would I need for a 135 on that half of the exam? Would an average score of 3/6 on essays cut it?

To get to the real MBE questions in Barbri, go to "Practice Questions" within the Enrolled Student Center. Then at the bottom of the page you'll see "Released MBE Questions" arranged by category. There are around 40 per subject.

true, but FIY I was told by a Barbri atty that they released them b/c they are old and accordingly they are relativity easy so keep in mind

Personally I'd rather struggle now w/ the Barbri horrible Qs and feel conftrable in the actual exam

[pkt63]

The Mixed Sets 4-9 are never assigned on the Paced Program (or at least mine, the online version), so I guess those are just extra available to practice. Also, it seems like the Half Day Practice Exam and Full Day Practice Exam in the MPQ book are not assigned in the paced program and are just extra. It's pretty confusing though, all these different sets in different places, hard to keep track of whats-what and what I've done and not done...
