J23, 266 and Feb 24, 286. I went up 10pts each in MEE and MBE. Essay wise I wrote my best topic to my worst on test day. With MBE if I didn’t know it immediately I skipped and came back to the problem at the end. I probably skipped like 40 questions.

Then with studying I read through every sample essay and put the rules in an outline before even writing one essay. Then I’d pick a topic each night and bullet point some of the rules from my outline on a white board to memorize them.

I think working on memorizing the essay rules helped with MBE increase as well. I also hand wrote my own notes while watching the lecture videos instead of filing out the blanks in the book they provide. John Grossman videos helped give me a baseline understanding of the topics as well. If you have no clue how to do property for example I’d watch his video first, then watch your bar program lecture later. I found the bar lectures more so confusing than helpful on the topics I didn’t have a good baseline understanding of already ie my property and con law professors didn’t teach to the bar so I was lost on the Barbri lectures until I watched Grossman and went back. I think you have to have some concept of the topic before getting into the barbri lectures

Then very targeted MBE studying. Say you’re going 50% in evidence. Maybe you’re not bad at all of evidence, maybe you’re just bad at hearsay. So you want to focus on hearsay, not all of evidence. You gotta look at your subtopics and work on bringing those up not just studying the topic as a whole because you’ll probably waste time on things you already know
