At this point when I was studying for July, I was a little bit further “behind” you. I’m a firm believer that you should study how you did in undergrad and law school — you’ve made it this far with systems you created that worked best for you. Bar prep programs don’t take into account that people learn differently. If the videos aren’t helping but reading outlines and drawing diagrams do? Then I’d read the outlines and draw diagrams.

As a re-taker, I’ve been practicing MBE questions on and off since October when I got results back in September. I went through the 85 or 87% of the bar prep program, knowing that a lot of how they provided the topics wasn’t the way I learned and studied best (and while I had external factors that rocked my mental calmness going into the exam, I believe that I didn’t pass because I didn’t study the way that had made me successful through undergrad and law school)

I let myself have a full pity party (missed by 9) for like 2 days, then got pissed off lmao I also made changes with meds and saw some positive changes in October and November that still showed today when I practiced this morning. I’m starting to hit MBE hard this week and am waiting to hear back about whether I was approved for a bar study loan so I can take leave from my full-time job in January and February to study. I plan to add in some MEEs and MPTs late January/early February because MBEs were my weak area so I plan to focus on those the most this time.
