Barbri paced program question? Forum

who thought it was a good idea to post rarely tested, obscure rules that people probably shouldn't worry about?

They all came from MBE questions

Seriously. I'm willing to bet 95%+ of these will never be tested, and will only serve to freak people out who aren't aware of them.

They don't freak me out. I just add them to my notes and carry on.

they dont bother me and i read them occasionally, but perhaps you should post them in a block once a day instead of several posts that clutter a page.

Good luck

Maybe make a separate topic.

MBE domination or bust! lol, the MBE is my single greatest shot at knocking this exam out of the park, not unlike you I want to be prepared for every curve ball they throw.

Are Barbri Mixed Subject Sets (available online under the Practice Questions tab) from past MBEs, or at least representative of the real deal? They sure seem different from and much simpler than other questions on Barbri. Anyone with info? My apologies if someone has already covered this topic.

I've yet to see a definitive answer on this.

I've been told they're mostly old MBE questions, but I haven't been able to confirm.

No one seems to know. I think Barbri intentionally keeps people in the dark about it.

To be fair seems like everyone does...you have to really dig to find out whether Emanuels questions are real MBE questions. not sure why all the cloak and dagger

This question has been answered a lot. Bottom line is barbri is harder than the real MBEs to most people (it's written in the front pages of the Barbri MPQ book). Barbri themselves admit their questions are harder than the real MBEs, and they attribute most people make a substantial jump in score partly because of that. Also, emmanuels, adaptibar, bar max MBE, are all real MBEs.

[jd20132013]

I think most people know that Barbri's general questions (i.e., the ones you do in Studysmart) are made up by them. I think the question was whether the Mixed sets were different.

After doing one of them, it doesn't feel THAT different to me, although I can definitely see why people thought they were a bit simpler (especially the property questions)

I think they did use some real MBEs in some of the simulated exams, though. I am seeing questions in the Bar Max MBE app that I recognize from the simulated exams.

[Heat]

Probably worth noting that there is a set for each subject in the "Practice Questions" area that specifically states they are real MBE questions. Which leads me to assume most of the other questions aren't.

[ap1987]

Anybody else finding MPQ sets 5 and 6 really difficult? Contracts was brutal.

[amk110]

They scale in order of difficulty. I stopped doing sets 6 for each subject because they were just ridiculous (testing a lot of stuff I'd never encountered before the set itself). Adding set 6 into my averages was tanking them.

There's no shortage of questions, so I'm not doing set 6 anymore. Or 5, for that matter.

[jd20132013]

I don't plan to do any of those sets. I might do Con law just because the rules for that are easy to remember and I might pick up a free point on exam day. That time is better spent on real questions from Emanuels, imo

[jd20132013]

Just hit 50%!

I know that's probably behind most people here but I wrote off completing this long ago. I'm spending time on things that aren't necessarily on the paced program so this is a good spot for me

[mvpforme]

So does anybody else feel it is entirely likely you'll see multiple essay questions that you have no idea how to answer on exam day? I have read everything for Barbri, including essays, except the long state outline for some topics, and I still get essay questions out of left field where end up making up an answer.

You'll never beat my 33%.

Honestly it just doesn't matter anymore...

Yup. Probably gonna be leaning heavily on the MBE to bring it home.
