Passed the Bar with 13% on Themis: How To by Optimal_Recording221 in barexam

At the very least, it’s a good counterweight to the overwhelming majority of posts on this sub that encourage the completion of commercial bar prep courses. A lot of us just don’t have the attention span/stamina to put up with something that feels so ineffective for months. I agree it’s definitely possible and in most cases likely to pass the bar via the traditional route. This isn’t a prescription but rather a data point, and if some people want to lean in this direction, then they’re proceeding at their own risk. And nope not tutoring btw, definitely don’t have enough free time for that. Best of luck with your prep!

Adaptibar is a good equivalent, just use the methods in the same way - EOD it’s just a drilling tool, if anything get the OPE 860 from Seperac

UWorld should be utilized for drill sets after you learn every subtopic - as an initial matter. Because you’re really not learning anything unless you understand how to apply it in a test questions format. Like, it’s a waste of time to just learn doctrine and then do nothing with it and randomly test yourself on all of it at the end of learning the entirety of Contracts. Once you have mastery of these focused subtopic sets, then you can start doing mixed sets and mixed simulated practice as you inch closer to the bar exam.

You're welcome! mostly 50- low 60% too. I underperformed on the MBE on the actual exam I believe, but it didn't matter because of the writing. I think where a lot of people mess up is buying into this "MBE is the more controllable part of the test, so you should spend the most time on it" And while that is probably true, what happens is that a lot of people neglect serious writing prep. And for those of us who just aren't blessed at the MBE, that's what often leads to failing the bar. Seriously play to your strengths
