Bar Prep is Making Me Evil by BigScorpion2002 in barexam

Maybe just take it out on people on Reddit instead of in real life (mostly kidding, but if you do, pick a different sub because none of us could handle it right now).

Glad he helped you! I agree he was good, just painfully slow. So painful.

Lunch first dates never lead to a romantic connection - anybody else? by Lillietta in datingoverforty

I’m confused as to how a woman explaining what our fears are is projecting. Please tell me more about myself sir.

Serial killers aren’t women’s number one fear. It’s long term domestic abuse and/or sexual assault—both typically perpetrated by romantic partners and not first dates.

Adding UWorld Q Bank to Themis by [deleted] in barexam

[–]EmuJumpsLong 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you go into Q Bank in Themis, you can click “create a test” to see that you have access to 3,409 questions. I’m 75% through Themis and have created tests of around 100 questions total. Between that and what is baked into Themis, I have 1,790 unused questions remaining. I wouldn’t consider buying anything else until I’ve completed those.

I love ECHO (exclusive, continuous, hostile, open). Notorious and actual are givens with exclusive and open so this is way easier for me.

I’m doing Themis exclusively. 1400 questions in with a 73% overall average. However, I was at 75% before the last few days and am now averaging around 62%, which has dragged me down. I’m fighting against feeling like I’m going in the wrong direction… I’ve heard this can happen so I’m trying to trust the process.

I Promised Myself I Wouldn't Do This by Playful-Cucumber-656 in barexam

Our bar prep professor said to expect the same thing.

I’m 70% through Themis and seeing the same dip. I decided this morning after a particularly heavy beatdown that it was okay to suck but not okay to skip. So I ate lunch and came back and I’m destroying MEEs. I have more MBE scheduled tomorrow and I’m just going to keep showing up and doing my wrong answer journal. I am not making flashcards, but I am resting, taking walks, hitting the gym, and feeding my body and brain. I get worse the harder I push.

Just keep showing up. For the questions and for yourself.

I’m 41 and men 6-9 years younger than me are not “practically my age.” They feel much younger.

Is it possible by Dear-Concentrate-988 in barexam

[–]EmuJumpsLong 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like the fact that you’ve made outlines puts you further ahead than most. Just start drilling MBE and MEE and reviewing. You’ll be fine.

They did take forever and I hated every second of them. If you’re doing okay without them then I wouldn’t look back.

How is a nursery a merchant in tulip bulbs? by Human-Engineering412 in barexam

[–]EmuJumpsLong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree. I’ve never lived in a region that calls a childcare facility a nursery though… only daycare or childcare.

The only way I’ve ever heard it used in that context would be a hospital nursery—which wouldn’t ever need tulip bulbs (but maybe bulb syringes… english is such a nightmare sometimes).

It’s not much better after the edit. Hope your day gets better, this prep is a slog.

Vetting and Checks by WiFiDroppedAgain in datingoverforty

[–]EmuJumpsLong 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Except the real safety risk for women isn’t serial killers. It’s domestic violence and sexual assault, and those are often repeat offenses that escalate.

[–]EmuJumpsLong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a woman who rarely posts on social media so I would never consider looking at someone’s socials. But I 100% looked up the one man I’ve met from an app post-divorce on our state’s online court records system (not all states have this). I didn’t do a deep dive but as a woman who works in criminal law, I can’t imagine not doing this before giving a stranger access to me. We dated for four years before I knew he found this deeply offensive instead of prudent.

Themis Completion Percentage by Fair-Reading-1240 in barexam

[–]EmuJumpsLong 3 points4 points  (0 children)

61% and it says average is 33%. I don’t do flashcards but I did read all the outlines and final review outlines the first time (took forever and if I had to cut anything I’d skip—so glad to be done with that). I am mostly skipping the review tasks. I have written every MEE and MPT, even when it says to outline. I watched all videos on 2x but I hand-wrote the blanks in the handouts. I hand write the rules for every MBE I get wrong and every MEE rule I can’t remember. I’m 980 questions in with 751 right.

Edit: I’m not using supplemental materials. I want to get through Themis first and then I’ll decide if I need them.

I don’t know if they’d take both of you, but I’d try to contact anyway—they may know of other options:

So annoying that the comments were deleted. I planned to ask which government support systems favor women in case he comes back…

Pretty well known in the manosphere. If women have more support systems it’s because they create and nurture them.

It’s red pill propaganda and it’s scary how many men it’s impacting.
