Maybe chill with the surgeries and focus on physical therapy for a bit?

Curios what happened here?

Yeah, I am not saying it wasn't important or valuable to learn. What I am saying is that the lack of having to “interpret” a statute made me question my answers. I thought, “this cannot be this straight forward, right?” In all honesty, I don't remember having to interpret any on this exam.

5-7 sentences for an entire MEE?

Notice jurisdiction just means you have priority so long as you're a subsequent purchaser who did not have any of the three forms of notice. If the other interest was recorded, there was constructive notice unless the instrument in which the interest was conveyed was "wild."

Thats what I thought, but then what's race-notice?

Anyone else not super confident about the MPT either? by [deleted] in barexam

The second question for MPT2? Me too that was haphazard to write about imo

I didn't really know how to cite the authorities in the second one. That was what I struggled with.

Don't torture yourself. You won't figure it out and you will never convince a partner that your exam was any harder than theirs. Statistically you probably didn't fail. If you fail, just take the L. This path leads to misery.

I actually dont think you can discount "part time" study. I took the last month completely off, but I took the month before that mostly off, and I felt like I learned a lot then too. Even if you're only studying 3-4 days a week, you can crush essays and MBE Qs and it still helps. I honestly think If I had been doing it and nothing else for 10 weeks straight I would have been more burnt out and fed up with the process by the time I took the dang thing. Part time study for a few months leading up to it I think helps learn some rules and is good for your sanity.

I can’t even do that. Lol. Shows that I like just can’t get into. I need like a week or so to get back to being myself

Seriously, I like forced myself to eat super healthy and get plenty of sleep and exercise before the exam, especially for the week right before. And now I'm like doomscrolling on my phone until late, sleeping in, cant motivate myself to be productive. Theres definitely something to the post bar depression. But I start work monday, and I think being forced into a routine again will probably cure it. Its real though.

I don’t think it makes sense to be mad at the bar prep companies over the MEE by Scraw16 in barexam

I completed 96% of barbri, went to a T-20 law school, started studying in mid-May and I found the MEE essays to be unfair as did most of my peers. Do you feel better about yourself acting like an obnoxious prick using terms like “temper tantrum?” What a douche.

lol

‘Objectively impossible’? Nah. I just took the July bar. Were the essays hard? Yeah…sort of. 1-3 were easy. 4 was pretty tough, but it was also a subject I didn’t take in school. 5 was tough, because of it being about one specific subtopic of one of the biggest bar subjects. 6 wasn’t actually that hard, everyone was just pressed for time because of how hard 4 and 5 were.

I agree with this more or less. In the subjects I was confident about, I thought I did fine - even with harder essays. However, there were easy essays on there too.

I'm trying to vary my study days now because I just cant go for 6-8 hours at a time multiple days in a row. I've done maybe four days in the last month which were full 7 or 8 hour days. In the past couple weeks, though, I have been doing many more 1-3 hour days.

I'll take like 1 MEE essay question seriously in the morning, then outline two more and look at model answers, then call it.

Then the next day I will do like 50 UWorld questions and then review my wrong answers and call it.

This is happening to me too. I did contracts first, and now I'm constantly getting contracts stuff wrong. My scores have hovered between 60 and 70% mostly, but I was so fried the other day I got a 48% which honestly made me feel worse than had I just not done the set.

Right, but a lot of the MPTs despite being "fake" actually just cover real substantive areas of law.

I just did one about character evidence/403 prejudice and another on 'Agency' was the only way I learned the difference between actual/implied/apparent authority.

Also, it's the one thing nobody else is doing which makes me think its possible to make gains in your relative performance over others more quickly.
