It's super boring and seems like it was kind of hastily thrown together. There is a really wide range in terms of presenter quality.john_brown wrote:Nope - but like everyone else I'll have to do it eventually.
So, what's it like? Why's it getting you down?
Banjo, do you think reading the course materials is all one needs to pass the NYLE?? Will the course materials they provide be sufficient without having taken a bar course?

By the way, if you really hate watching the videos, open several tabs with different videos playing in each tab. When they all conclude in a question, answer the question in Tab 1 and continue on to the next video segment. Then jump to Tab 2, refresh, and answer the question that appears--it will likely be the question that was supposed to follow the segment that's currently playing in Tab 1 (the segment you haven't even watched yet). It's hard to explain, but can save you time. I'm sure there are other little glitches that people will discover.
The whole point is that the NYLC prepares you for the NYLE. Why would you need to have taken a bar course? And so far, it seems like there's nothing covered in the lectures that you can't glean from the materials provided, so I'm sure ignoring the lectures and just reviewing the materials will be sufficient for passing the NYLE.ChocolateTruffle wrote:Banjo, do you think reading the course materials is all one needs to pass the NYLE??

No. You'll need to have the PDF open on another laptop or iPad if you want to be able to search it.WahooLaw24 wrote:Haven't used Examsoft before -- can we have the PDF open to search it during the exam?
The version of exam soft for the nyle allows you to toggle between the notes and the exam.ChocolateTruffle wrote:No. You'll need to have the PDF open on another laptop or iPad if you want to be able to search it.WahooLaw24 wrote:Haven't used Examsoft before -- can we have the PDF open to search it during the exam?
Transfer your UBE score of 266 or better in October. Take the nylc, nyle, mpre of 85 or greater and you are all set.FlanAl wrote:any of you doing just this and not the UBE? If I'm not taking the UBE (already did it) this is all I have to sign up for right or is there an overall bar application. Sorry for the stupid question, just figured someone here could fill me in. Thanks!

Nice man. What addon did you use? Thanks in advance.banjo wrote:All right, I guess it's time to listen to a few of these lectures.
Here's a link to the NYLC videos: https://www.nybarexam.org/ApplicantPort ... eview.aspx.
I downloaded Firefox on my phone and used the 'request desktop site' feature to listen to the lectures while my screen is off. I also downloaded a video speed add-on to make this a little less painful.
Worked, thanks! Yeah, I hope so as well.banjo wrote:No problem. I used Faster Video Mobile for Firefox on my Android (eh). On my laptop, I use Video Speed Controller for Chrome (pretty good).reasonableperson wrote:Nice man. What addon did you use?

I spent a day reading the Course Materials pdf and plan to ctrl+f as much as possible on test day. If the questions are anything like the samples, this will be a very straightforward test.
