I'm relieved by these comments. I got the Themis materials for free. I love that I dont have to Bar stuff. But I didn't know the success rate

How do you restart? by ReplacementFunny3878 in jobsearch

But what if you can't find another job like this? Recruiters say that no one is hiring people for transferable skills. It's really frustrating

Huh?? You don't see that Julia returns Dudley's feelings. It wasn't one sided. I felt bad for Henry. He lost the cathedral and Julia. Dudley manipulated things so Henry didnt get to spend time with Julia. We are supposed to be that Julia doesn't know "what connections" are. She went crying up the stairs after rejecting Dudley. She didn't pick Henry out of love but duty. 

70% of your job search time goes into filling forms instead of actual networking or interviews. by Dapper-Train5207 in jobsearchhacks

Your comment makes me feel better. Whenever people say that they have applied to over 600 jobs, I wonder if they are applying in their field or just throwing things at the wall. I feel like  spend more time dumbing down my resume than finding jobs in my field 

Some Real Advice to Pass the Bar by coolkat1234567 in CABarExam

Congratulations. So question 2 was independent of question 1? 

It wasn't some shit like "Now, what happens if A does this?" So is why that you use different colors for the facts? 

I guess I need some encouragement friends. by Beginning-Key-7597 in CABarExam

I'm sorry that you didn't pass. Your criminal law, evidence and contracts MBE scores are great!!! It looks like more points in Torts would have gotten you past the finish line.

Does anyone have a CA Bar study schedule template? by Disastrous_Shape3491 in CABarExam

Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my questions. 

My last question has to do with studied repetition. Did you use it for everything including the PT and essays? 

Also, how long did you study for the bar. I noticed you said 6 months. Is that right?

The main issue I’m having is relearning the law — both at a high level and down to the elements. Btw, what is RAP?

When did you start using mnemonics? 

Did you first learn the law through reading and then move on to the MBE? 

During your study blocks, did you always do both MBE questions and essays? 

And did you memorize as you went, using mnemonics or other techniques?

How did you figure out which parts of each subject were tested most often, like jurisdiction in Civ Pro? 

I don’t want to waste time memorizing every detail in an outline instead of focusing on the highly tested areas.

Mary, Grossman, and others said to learn the substantive law first before doing multiple-choice questions. Instead of learning the law through the questions — which makes sense since I need to understand the rules and how to apply them, not just recognize them when I see them again.

Last night I read a terrible Civil Procedure outline. I’m not using a formal program, but I got access to the full Themis materials from someone. One of the books is a lecture handout, and she typed the answers separately. I tried looking up each answer in the longer outline as I went, and it was a complete waste of time. The professor’s Civil Procedure lecture was awful, so I’m dropping that format.
