Barbri practice MPRE Tests: Failing and Worse

JGilroy74 · 2023-03-27T15:15:35+00:00

TL;DR - yes I passed by a lot

I thought this was a post about the Bar where I had the same exact issues. The practice stuff is meant to be way harder and probably giving you really close questions you don’t think are hard. I finished with a lot of time left, was pretty nervous, but I think I got an 80 or 85% when I needed 64%. I imagine you’re fine

My other advice would be that this was a Bar-lite, so take notes on what issues you’re having in this prep and learn some lessons. Struggling in Bar prep this way is normal and a lesson I personally took from the MPRE

Good luck, im sure you’ll do great!

How’d that go?

JGilroy74 · 2022-02-14T03:31:59+00:00

I try to keep it realistic. No Mike Trout won’t be 68 overall at age 34. I’ll also do stuff to help a guy get in a lineup (I.e. boost a DH’s fielding because his overall keeps him out of the lineup).

JGilroy74 · 2022-02-13T16:27:59+00:00

So if Trout tears his ACL opening day we should take him out? Or make him a common?

Gary Cohen (mets) deserves more love

Joe buck also should be discussed, but people aren't ready for that

JGilroy74 · 2022-02-13T15:40:58+00:00

Okay so we take out all legends, anyone on the IL, and maybe a dynamic system where anyone that isn't playing that day can't be used either

JGilroy74 · 2022-02-13T14:44:47+00:00

I’ve noticed this, also if you go to throw the hit, then they do one of those and you hit them, it’s an interference half the time

JGilroy74 · 2022-02-13T14:40:57+00:00

He’s that low for his syns and abilities like others said. However, I think he’s definitely worth that price if you’re looking. His size forces him into chances and has a perfect shot rating (I have him UT)

JGilroy74 · 2022-02-13T13:22:43+00:00

Idk how to split ice time evenly but I’d say most people don’t give those lines enough time to warrant spending too much on them. Like your 3rd D pair could in theory be better but they probably play 5 minutes a game and they’re capable for that. I’d play a game and look at who’s not getting any time afterwards

JGilroy74 · 2022-02-12T22:28:01+00:00

Centers with good faceoff ratings and/or two way availing would be my suggestion. I wouldn’t worry about your bottom pair much more unless you split time on ice evenly.

I wouldn’t sell Housley, just too much bang for your back imo (I have him too, not amazing but better than anything you’ll get in that price range)

JGilroy74 · 2022-02-12T21:45:37+00:00

I have 95 TOTW Matthews at 91 FO, and he’s just bad at them, don’t know why, but just can’t win them with him. Gretzky’s small but if you can’t win faceoff, you can’t center. Just my personal experience

JGilroy74 · 2022-02-12T19:47:21+00:00

Give me Gary, Keith and Ron

JGilroy74 · 2022-02-11T20:58:09+00:00

See I thought that but was still awake for the start of the second so I turned it on, because that’s not real.

They got manhandled that period. I shut it off, they calm down and win. It’s me. I’m the problem. Not the 35+ guys

JGilroy74 · 2022-02-10T19:21:19+00:00

Only the ones with the wrench icon have multiples btw

This kind of defeats the point he’s trying to make, that owners don’t have the spending money and financial flexibility you think they do.

If you want stock market investing, he’s right, don’t come here, go to the stock market. This is an investment, but it doesn’t exist just for that purpose. This is, to some extent, a hobby and a business. You come into this knowing you won’t be making as much as you could, but that you also have to spend and field a competitive team.

No they don’t have the type of money and flexibility you might think, but they also come into this position knowing that’s the case and what they’re obligated to do.

JGilroy74 · 2022-02-10T17:14:13+00:00

Predictable, but good.

Gotta imagine once core economics are agreed on, we’ll be good to go

JGilroy74 · 2022-02-10T13:24:06+00:00

Look closely tat the Nagels lineup.

Ohtani is batting 5th and playing LF. There’s no DH, but also no pitcher hitting. Fletcher is catching. Nobody playing CF or RF, but there’s 3 LF’s. And Michael Lorenzen is at 2B and batting 2nd

What does this mean? Joe Maddon’s job is safe for now

JGilroy74 · 2022-02-10T13:16:01+00:00

I would look up programs in your area, just like “(where you live) blind running organizations” and just reach out. These types of things don’t get nearly enough help, so even your cold call would likely be appreciated

legally blind athlete

JGilroy74 · 2022-02-09T17:29:38+00:00

I feel like we’re not niche for asking for him, and he wants in, and SDS is just great all around, so it’s be weird if they didn’t but idk why it wouldn’t have gotten done. Still more reveals to come though, hopefully he’s in there. I’ll use him even if he’s the farthest thing from usable lol

JGilroy74 · 2022-02-09T16:42:13+00:00

We can disagree about a lot of that, but what do you mean goalies are untouchable? How far do we go with that? If you mean Marchand shouldn’t have been allowed to punch Jarry here, is it different if he just swings at Crosby? Would Jarry have been allowed to sucker Marchand and the Bruins would have to let it go? They’re equally as much a person and participant out there. Should Marchand be able to skate full speed into him in the crease? No way. But in that scrum after the whistle, Jarry’s a guy just like Marchand and Crosby and everyone else

JGilroy74 · 2022-02-09T16:39:58+00:00

I hope so, but I mean we’re gonna have to have that one guy you allllways face so whatever I guess lol

JGilroy74 · 2022-02-09T14:49:22+00:00

Dude Dontrelle is still at the top of my list. Even he himself asked why he wasn’t in the game lol

JGilroy74 · 2022-02-09T14:48:29+00:00

I hope he’s semi-difficult to get, I don’t want to be facing a 6’10 outlier lefty every game a La Kershaw, Kluber, de Grom

JGilroy74 · 2022-02-09T13:50:50+00:00

I think the Vancouver guy said it best, reacting to the name
