Barbri paced program question? Forum

[MoneyMay]

It is substantial justification and no less restrictive means. It is "intermediate+" scrutiny - SS using IS language.

I know it's the easiest MBE subject but I fucking hate con law

Easiest? By far my worst subject, Contracts, Crim, Torts you can study for well, I feel with Conlaw it is impossible to predict what kind of questions we will face.

I agree with you... statistically I think it's the one people do the best on though

[jd20132013]

con law is the easiest because they literally cant ask u more than like 2-3 questions that arent


"so does gender get intermediate or strict scrutiny"

nothing else is clear enough to make an MBE question

Mental institution question was awesome, mental image of some crazy guy "brutally beating" a local resident is funny after studying wills all day.

Yea LOL, something felt wrong about analyzing the guy from the mental institution in the manner as wild animals.

9/18 on that torts.

EDIT: apparently everyone did poorly on that one. still dont feel good about it.

[ceereeus420]

Federal Jurisdiction is Civ Pro, right? It seems like the exact same thing to me, but I want to make sure I'm not missing something because I am about to start reviewing the CALI lessons I did 1L year. The "actively review lecture notes" doesn't cut it for me, I need something interactive.

Yeah i just got 10/18 on both sets 5 and 6. Lots of dumb hairsplitting on those questions.

the mental hospital question especially was BS. the answer was very unsatisfying. it could have easily been the second best answer

[aquasalad]

Agree. IMO the most obvious answer was that the employee was clearly negligent in not locking the guy up. Applying res ipsa in that case was weird, with the "instrumentality" in the defendant's sole control being a human being.. I definitely changed my answer from the right one to the employee being negligent. I need to stop changing my answers.

the idea that that incident could only happen b/c of negligence seemed silly to me

in fact, that was why I eliminated it. its a stretch to say that the mental hospital patient is "within the sole control" of the hospital in the same way that the barrel of flour from whatever that case was is, or in the same way that surgical equipment during surgery is in the sole control of a surgical team.
just because you're crazy doesn't mean you lack autonomy.

whatever.

anyone know what the goal score is on the barbri mixed sets of 50qs? It's not in the MPQ book

Also curious. Are these in line with real MBE difficulty?

I was just looking that up too! I have no idea, but they seem really easy, so either I've gotten really good at the MBE or they are too easy (I've even scored in the 90s on a couple sets so far. Would that I could score so well next Wed!). Either way, I still think they are helping me cement concepts and rule statements and it's not bad to feel sort of confident, so I think I will continue...

Although I was also thinking of doing the Full Day Exam in the MPQ book over the next few days, since that does have guidelines...

[jaydizzle]

I seriously hope the mixed sets are in line with the MBE difficulty.

On the website, under Practice Questions

The target for the first 2 is around 36

I got through Q 153 on the full day and found it just indecently difficult and gave up :\

Yeah. The goals are: Sets 1-6: 36 (72%); Set 7-8: 35 (70%): Set 9: 33 (66%)

I think they're supposed to be. They're definitely far more similar to real MBE's in terms of the fact patterns being much shorter and concise, rather than the 4 paragraph clusterfucks of studysmart set 5/6.

God I hope so. I hope it's BarBri's way of admitting the last 2 months of 8 paragraph recording statute questions have been a giant flame and this is their way of being like "lol j/k" and so the real MBE will be easy in comparison. I hope.

This please. At this point you just have to wonder how they could do this IN GOOD faith and make us all worry worriers

[Georgia Avenue]

I mean, getting the correct answer on set 5/6 problems is basically irrelevant since so many of them are LOL TROLLED U type choices. If you can wade through the bullshit, figure out the issue, recall the rule, and apply it well enough to get an answer that makes sense you'll be fine for the real MBE, where they won't be on some "A, B and C are all correct statements of the rule but not as correct as D."

It's just barbri being barbri. Look at how many of us either a) think we're ready to take the exam or b) just don't give a fuck anymore. They need to keep us motivated somehow. Fear and a lack of confidence have proven to be good for that.

I like how on the midterm review they were like "a lot of these questions had two plausible answers, lol" straight up telling us they were fucking with us.

[Flips88]

Think it was in here, there was the discussion on the guy who drove on the owner's land and crashed into the poisonous snake pit and got bitten...doing the AMP review of torts and it was for an undiscovered trespasser to recover for a wild animal attack, he must show the defendant was negligent.
