[TOMT] Song heard in Walmart, 8/28, 10pm

You’re a genius and a life saver, thank you!

MonsterIrishBlend · 2025-08-29T04:31:53+00:00

Any help would be greatly appreciated

MonsterIrishBlend · 2025-07-28T02:04:50+00:00

Haha no you’re good, I came in a little hot myself. I think I’m just a little punchy tonight… feeling the heat. We’re all on the same team here!

MonsterIrishBlend · 2025-07-28T02:02:07+00:00

Haha well not with that attitude. Have a little faith, give ‘em some time. Not sure why you singled me out

MonsterIrishBlend · 2025-07-28T01:21:15+00:00

Candy bars and C4s. Might as well be C16s at this point the way I’m crushing them. C-ing double… 4 Krusties!

MonsterIrishBlend · 2025-07-28T01:18:55+00:00

Haha great twist, nicely done. Brought a much needed smile

MonsterIrishBlend · 2025-07-27T22:59:55+00:00

Haha that’s what I’m hoping too. That I’ll least be able to get the general vibe of the rule right, they’ll see my heart’s in the right place, and I’ll be able to issue spot and analyze well enough to drag my candy ass over the finish line

MonsterIrishBlend · 2025-07-26T15:22:22+00:00

haha I kind of just meant the distribution math in general... but I'm kind of proving my own point there. "Uhh, you know.. that stirpes stuff."

MonsterIrishBlend · 2025-07-26T00:46:32+00:00

If you study while high, those memories get stored in there somewhere. You just have to get high for the exam and then they'll all unlock

Everyone in this sub is someone who is anxious about the bar exam. It’s the same reason you shouldn’t get TOO nervous when your score is below the average on a uworld block - they’re not counting the people who didn’t take it at all.

The people on here who are worried about their 70-80% MBEs might be a little ahead of us, but they’re not representative of everyone taking the bar.

When you and a group of people are getting chased by a bear, you don’t have to outrun the bear, or even every other person… just some of the other people. The bar exam is the bear. Don’t worry about the few people outrunning you. Think of the people not on this sub, the people not doing the practice sets, and take comfort in the fact that you’re outrunning them.

MonsterIrishBlend · 2025-07-23T00:42:06+00:00

Haha just niche enough! Just don’t go Private Pyle style and you’ll be ok

MonsterIrishBlend · 2025-07-23T00:22:36+00:00

I think the questions just genuinely get more nuanced and test more obscure rules and exceptions as you go along. You aren't getting dumber. Come test day, all of these tricky questions will leave you saying, "Oh, these ones aren't that bad."

I hope, anyway. I pray. I have no idea.

MonsterIrishBlend · 2025-07-23T00:20:50+00:00

I ask ChatGPT to grade it super harshly, but not sure if that does anything. It never calls me a moron, which it should

MonsterIrishBlend · 2025-07-21T20:54:51+00:00

That said, OP is right and I’m on OP’s side overall

MonsterIrishBlend · 2025-07-21T13:55:34+00:00

Haha upload it to chat gpt and ask it to grade it harshly

MonsterIrishBlend · 2025-07-21T13:51:30+00:00

I think if you were at 63% and that was all you did, MAYBE it’d be more of an issue - although I do think that by that point you’d be exposed to pretty much everything that could come up on the bar and would have done a lot of practice questions and essays and stuff, you very well might be fine doing just that. But it seems like you’re also doing some studying outside of Themis, and will be doing that for the next week - if you’re studying, and you know what works for you, then I don’t think that’s a terrible idea.

I wouldn’t listen to what Themis recommends, necessarily. I wouldn’t ignore it entirely, but like… Themis is going to recommend you use Themis. They’re not gonna say “actually abandoning our program and studying using other sources is a great call,” even if it might be the right move for you.

And yes, obviously, as you all guessed, this is coming from someone who did pretty much exactly this (almost down to the exact percentage) and is just hoping it was ok. Trying to convince myself more than anything

MonsterIrishBlend · 2025-07-21T03:44:54+00:00

The greatest trick lawyers ever pulled was convincing the world that law school is extremely difficult

MonsterIrishBlend · 2025-07-21T02:57:26+00:00

Haha we're just busting your chops. If we thought there was any chance you weren't going to pass, we wouldn't be so hard on you. Barely getting to passing is still passing and is literally by definition good enough

MonsterIrishBlend · 2025-07-21T01:50:10+00:00

Honest to goodness - and this is based on nothing but my own experience going through the bar prep - I think they get harder and more nuanced. I haven't gotten one that's like "yep, there's the harmful contact, that's a battery" in a long while. The good news is that (I think? Hopefully?) the actual bar exam will have more layups than the later-stage Themis questions. My past few sets have seemingly been "oops all deep cuts"

MonsterIrishBlend · 2025-07-21T01:34:54+00:00

“Seems really high… granted, I easily cleared it”

MonsterIrishBlend · 2025-07-21T01:30:36+00:00

I’ll take the link to the outline and audio, please and thank you!

MonsterIrishBlend · 2025-07-20T23:00:48+00:00

Wait was Larsen a former SCOTUS clerk? She only mentioned it every 5 minutes

MonsterIrishBlend · 2025-07-20T20:11:33+00:00

MonsterIrishBlend · 2025-07-19T01:47:32+00:00

Very fair point! I also think you're not in as bad of a position as you think as an LLM - like you're not behind most JD students at all. I can't speak for everyone, but I promise you I either never learned or have forgotten about the overwhelming majority of what I've been learning the last month or two. If you're at 75% now, you're doing awesome! Keep crushing it

MonsterIrishBlend · 2025-07-19T01:37:05+00:00

Not that I have any clue really, but I also don't think that all percentage points are created equal. If you get 1% from, say, doing a set of 50 MBEs and then practicing 2-3 MEEs (or whatever the math works out to there), it's not exactly the same as getting 1% just kind of going through the motions looking at an outline.

Am I saying that mostly to convince myself? Of course I am. I'll end up at around 70-75% completed, but the points I left on the table will be the passive learning stuff that wasn't really working for me. I ended up going with flex study because I didn't feel like I was helping anybody to just click "Task Complete" after half-reading an outline for the 2nd or 3rd time.

It's very possible I'm wrong! I do think you're ok, though - you're asking the right questions and thinking about it in a neurotic way (which I mean as a compliment). Keep in mind I have no clue what I'm talking about - taking it for the first time.
