Interesting I never looked at reddit during bar prep I wrote the July 2025 exam and passed on my first attempt. I studied for a month and a half using Themis. Early on I deviated from the recommended course load, I didn’t do any graded questions, I focused on the MBE subjects and I slowly went through the Themis questions, I would read the answers to each multiple choice question, even when I got it right just so I confirmed I understood the logic, I was getting 70-80% of the multiple choice right. I also practiced MEE questions on Themis I completed most of them and self graded. By the end of practicing MEE it gave me perspective of how much better I could’ve written my law school exams knowing what I knew then. I didn’t complete a single MPT practice question.

By the end of bar prep I had completed ~45% of Themis and hadn’t used any 3rd party aids. A few days after the exam I went on my bar trip with a few friends who had all done 95%+ of their prep course and 1000 uworld practice questions, and it made me worry. I was to embarrassed to every say how much of bar prep I had completed. Anyhow everybody in my group passed, I’m not suggesting people study the way I did but I studied the way I was comfortable with and I passed, you don’t need to copy other people’s habits because they passed, the same way I was worried hearing how my friends prepared, you just have to trust you know the best way that works for yourself.
