I take the MPRE Wednesday and I have only finished half of the course because I've been taking notes and it's slowing me down... This will be my FOURTH time taking this test. I am so burnt out after taking the bar. What should I do? Continue note taking or just scrolling through the modules? I want to do practice questions as well but I feel like I have such limited time now!

Help.. what helped you?

How are people studying the last 2 days? I can’t stop studying days before because I WILL forget everything. I have to study until the very last minute.

Idk if I should reread my outlines or practice MEEs or keep doing adaptibar questions? Idk idk

Any suggestions?

Did another simulated bar exam and got a 36% 😭 I actually have no idea how the fuck I’m so bad at MBEs
and also why this is like rocket science to me. I’m not even sure how to help myself at this point or if there’s even time recover from this.
Even a miracle seems like a long shot.

Already cried 2x today. Idk what to do… or think.. or say… sigh

My MBE is so low I have GOAT and have through the modules I score the lowest on.. I just don't know if it's helping or how I should use it to help. Goats help me become an MBE goat.. please

No but seriously any advice on how to pick up my score? I did pretty much the same across all subjects, real property being my worst. I'm done studying for today as taking that exam burnt me out.. but tomorrow is a new day. I'm trying to stay positive... SOS.

I did this on BARBRI btw

I need someone to explain both of these subjects like I’m a dumb@$$ - with absolute no knowledge. Like literally the most basic and concise explanations ever. What most people say “explain it like you’re explaining it to someone who’s not from this world”

Any recommendations for podcasts/videos/lectures/outlines/powerpoints/literally ANYTHING.

Thanks! 🙏🏽

I’m about 90 hours in BARBRI. Should I just give up 😭 I have undiagnosed ADHD patterns and get burnt out super easily. I’ve been going through the videos and making sure that I understand every concept before jumping another subject. Cus otherwise it feels passive. Idk I know I’m less than others but I just need some validation lol

How are you guys going through GOAT bar prep? I am doing BARBRI all day and then scrolling through GOAT at night through my phone. I feel like BARBRI is keeping my so busy. Am I wasting potential of GOAT?

I feel like I wasted 2 weeks on these videos with minimal practice questions. I’m going to start deep dive tomorrow. Hopefully I’m not too behind but I feel like I am. 😭

I want to start memorizing black letter law and am looking into a supplement. I’ve heard good things about GOAT Bar Prep, but Grossman’s 2-day class at our school was really engaging too. I’m mainly looking for something that teaches the law clearly and concisely without extra fluff. BARBRI will be my main source, but would you recommend GOAT or AdaptiBar more?

My biggest weakness is my horrible attention span and how long it’s taking me to get through the foundation videos. I wasn’t the best law student so I don’t want to skip them but I just can’t watch video after video without scrolling on my phone. I feel like I’m a day or 2 behind

Right now, I'm thinking of doing a few hours of lecture/active learning (BARBRI), then doing GOAT, then moving into practice questions, and ending with memorization of black letter law. For those who have gone through it, does that seem like a good approach?
How many hours were you realistically studying each day, and how did you break things up to stay focused?

Also, handwritten notes on the videos? Or using the outlines that BARBRI has?

Any advice on what actually worked (or didn't) would be really helpful.

My school has a contract with BARBRI and I get it for free but I have a low attention span and have looked into Themis. I got a significant discount and now I’m considering paying for Themis. Is it worth it???

I’ve heard BARBRI has more in depth law than Themis but anyone have thoughts? I’m only considering Themis because of the short videos. Is paying $1k+ worth it?

I’m starting bar prep this week. I have the physical books that were $250. I am just about to start the fundamental videos. I’m wondering for the full substantive lecture: How are people taking notes? ARE people taking notes? If so, are they in the margins of the books/outline or fully from the video lectures.
I want to know what has worked for people and what hasn’t. So I can get a sense now of efficiency vs figuring it out a month before.
