AdaptiBar %'s much lower than the real %'s? Forum

[dudnaito]

Granted, the only data set I have is from the July 2012 Illinois Exam, and Adapti-Bar's #'s (which shows the % of correct answers by subjects and even categories within those subjects, and you can also manipulate the dates and confine the sample to specific states if you want), but there's virtually no correlation in the performance of July 2012 Adapti-Bar Illinois MBE takers and prospective July 2014 Illinois MBE takers.

The average July 2012 Illinois MBE taker seems to have averaged pretty damn close to a 70% raw (which is damn impressive) while the Adapti-Bar July 2014 prospective takers are anywhere from 58-62% raw in 5 subjects and a 52% raw on property and this is only AFTER i start the date at July 1 so as to not have the data be tainted from older performances, basically this is the most optimal data of the Il. Bar takers, who are definitely way behind the national average by around 5%. https://www.ilbaradmissions.org/Percent ... lentCharts

The average Adapti-Bar user has also done around 600 MBE questions which should be a fairly decent sample size as well.

Is this data even remotely reliable? Can anyone explain the massive disparity in performance between the Actual results of the July 2012 takers and the prospective July 2014 takers? If nothing else, I figured people who actually spent cash on getting Adapti-Bar would perform better than the average person.
