I'm not going to entirely ignore essays, but it's worth more to get good at the MBE. A good score on the MBE means you can basically write your essays in crayon and still pass.
To me the Barbri lectures made me feel like I was doing something but honestly the things that made the difference were practice essays and MBEs. I think spending 5 hours writing essays and doing MBE's is more productive than 10 hours making outlines and watching lectures. Everyone is different I guess but I honestly didn't get much out of the lectures.
