Retaker working full time looking for advice! 🙏

Hi all!

I am a retaker and have half assed studying in the past with the big bar courses. It just didn’t work for me and looking to really put in time this summer to pass in July. Looking for any tips and suggestions on the best prep materials I should buy that aren’t a traditional bar course + study plans/organization while working full time. I’m in a JD preferred role but really miss the contract work I did previously and neeeed to pass for my sanity.

I am going to do goat but not sure what I should get for questions / MBE studying. Looking for suggestions on what you all feel worked the best, esp if traditional bar courses didn’t do it for you. I have the one sheets and my books from previous bar prep, which I’ll be using as supplements + planning to also review MEE questions/answers from previous bar exams.

For context, I’ve always done really well on the essays but did absolutely terrible on multiple choice, I never really studied for the MPT either and did well but would like to improve my score there for easy points.

Please give me all your tips / suggestions / links / guides! If you all have any tips on organization and scheduling while working full time I would really appreciate that too.

Hope everyone is having a great summer and hope we all pass! :-)

Thanks in advance for your help and insights!

Help! Bar Exam Materials & Tips for Retakers?

Hi all!

I am a retaker and have half assed studying in the past with Themis/Barbri. It just didn’t work for me and looking to really put in time this summer to pass in July. Looking for any tips and suggestions on the best prep materials I should buy that aren’t a traditional bar course + study plans/organization while working full time. I’m in a JD preferred role but really miss the contract work I did previously and neeeed to pass for my sanity.

I am going to purchase GOAT bar prep, but stuck between buying adaptibar or uworld questions (open to others if there’s something better too). Looking for suggestions on what you all feel worked the best, esp if traditional bar courses didn’t do it for you. I have the JD advising sheets and my books from Themis/Barbri, which I’ll be using as supplements and planning to also review MEE questions/answers from previous bar exams.

For context, I’ve always done really well on the essays but absolutely bombed multiple choice, I never really studied for the MPT either and did well but would like to improve my score there for easy points.

Please give me all your tips / suggestions / links / products / softwares! If you all have any tips on organization and scheduling while working full time I would really appreciate that too.

Hope everyone is having a great summer and hope we all pass! :-)

Thanks in advance for your help and insights!
