I’m still shaking. High enough to go anywhere UBE. I can’t believe I did it.

Congratulations to everyone else who’s passed. We’re lawyers.

Smoking za tonight to try and calm the nerves. Being stone cold sober and working out a bunch tomorrow.

I’m sooooo ready to be done. I am also soooooo frightened

How we feeling crew

I’ve been told the bar is a lot easier than the practice BARBRI and Themis throw at us. But like, how much easier lol.

I’m doing NextGen (guineapig squad) and I’ve been averaging like 60-70% on my MC and passing or above on the IQS/essays (think I got like a 63 or 64 on the simulated exam) and I’m feeling so atrocious lol.

Idk if I can bring myself to practice more but if anyone has a comment to share that’d be cool

It’s been a rough year for the Mets. There is still joy. Win or lose (mostly lose) nothing will change the fact that we just won a series against Philly during one of our most abysmal seasons ever.

That’s so funny dude.

We gotta enjoy ourselves once in a while. I don’t think we should be buying merch and allat let’s not get crazy, but let’s have a laugh.

Thank you so much BARBRI for giving me all the confidence in the world with practice set 28 which I passed with flying colors and then immediately giving me the most niche, fucking stupid questions possible for the next set! I so appreciate the 30% 10 days before exam day thank you so so much.

The fact that I’ve given this company thousands of dollars for a website that doesn’t work is fucking astonishing.

The workbook constantly lags and I cannot make flashcards without it breaking. Once I hit 30 it starts lagging tremendously.

I also literally cannot complete practice problems without crashing and lag. Anything written takes me well over the provided time limit because I end up sitting there waiting for the webpage to load. So every IQS practice and practice essay has been thrown off bc evidently scrolling up the documents is too much for the website to handle.

I was just doing an IQS set provided by the NCBE and rather than the 48 minutes I was allotted it’s taken me over an hour because of lag.

This is so fucking inexcusable, especially at this point in preparation. I know it’s not my laptop bc I can navigate it fine, the webpage keeps crashing and popping up w “not responding” errors.

Besides that this program has not made me feel confident in the slightest and the fact that I’m running out of multiple choice bank questions is ludicrous. How the fuck are you expecting me to pay extra money just to fucking have enough materials to practice with.

Fuck this company.

I am so boned with evidence. It’s all a jumbled mess in my brain.

I tried making flashcards but they have not helped at all so far. I think they’re too detailed. This is such a bummer bc I got an A in school for the course - evidently (hahah) I’m bad at it unless I can see the rules.

Does anyone have suggestions or tips or resources to share?

I cannot remember the evidence rules off the top of my head for the life of me. In the last week my average for evidence has been like a 55%? It’s easily my worst topic.

Does anyone have good mnemonics or rules they’ve memorized for sorting through evidence questions? Hell I’ll take any flashcards on Quizlet if you’ve got em lol

Hello yall,

Just a quick question - how does the state component work? I know I have access through my bar portal but I don’t know much beyond that.

Do I get like unlimited attempts? One per time I take the bar? Is it open book like I heard? How do I prep for it and when do I take it?

Any feedback would be appreciated tyyyy

Dude I have hardly seen a more pathetic islander. Can this guy talk to one girl without absolutely BEGGING them to kiss him or being like overly sexual?

Like how pathetic. Every conversation he has he pretends they’re trying to kiss him and then he just begs and begs until they do. I’m watching episode 2 of Casa rn and he’s asked like legit every girl in the house to kiss him and the ones who’ve said no have gotten these classic Aidan “oh come on please just a little kiss” lines. Glad no one has caved yet.

I cannot fathom how anyone thinks this dude is attractive he’s like an incel w a cheeky personality.

I feel like these videos are only of this length bc she sings to us

Hoooooly fuck this is boring.

I'm watching the deep dive video for Module 8 right now and I am not absorbing a single bit of this - this is way too much information to be retaining.

I'm totally gonna blow this exam lol. Not absorbing a single thing.

Does anyone like this lecturer lol

I have no idea what I'm doing guys.

Just not feeling confident at all. Focusing is so hard. I'm doing the BARBRI NextGen prep and I'm just really feeling crummy. Feel like my scores are getting worse as I go. I do everything I'm assigned everyday then just chill and rot the rest of the day.

I also hate that like all of this practice is self assessed. I'm trying to be hard on myself but I keep giving myself passing or above passing scores on PTs and IQS. I'm getting like 50-65% on my multiple choice usually. I still feel lost as hell and like absolutely nothing is changing.

I don't know if that's good. I don't know literally anything. I feel so overwhelmed and just not even aware if I'm going about this right.

Someone talk me off this cliff because I am so done with this prep and it's like barely halfway through.

Question to any law stoners.

I stopped smoking for a few months at the beginning of the year. I was trying to get ready for the bar and thought quitting then would be the best idea.

Started smoking on and off after about 3 months and have smoked daily again the last month and some change.

I don’t want to kill my chances for the bar due to liking weed lol. I don’t know if it’s actually impacting my long term memory at all - I cannot really think of a difference between how I’m doing now and when I was off weed.

I passed the MPRE off weed vs on weed but I also studied everyday the second time and had way less classes in addition to not smoking so I can’t really isolate a variable there (call that a substantial factor test).

I’m out of weed now and debating whether a reup is a good idea.

I’ve been averaging well on practice stuff. 65% on multiple choices (variation by subject). About 70% on IQS and a little better on PT. I know I’ve only done about 3 weeks of BARBRI prep so far but it’s not looking so bad. My only concern is i really don’t FEEL like I’ve been picking stuff up.

What do yall think

Hello yall what’s good. Trying to get barred in Maryland and wondering about the state component - Ik it’s online and I have access to it now but I’m not sure how to go about it and when to take it.

Any advice/recommendations?

What's good yall happy bar prep season.

Starting today with a school-partnered BARBRI program. Just wanted to know if this schedule seems...correct? I was told 8 hours a day 5 days a week - I set my custom schedule to five days a week and it's only recommending 6-7 hours total a day.

Does that seem like too little? I heard 400 hours is the recommendation - this would get me to like 300. Just wanna maximize my chances since I'm going into a clerkship after (and may be trying to move my score in a year or two).

Thanks!
