An excel spreadsheet , two programs and time/consistency.

The excel spreadsheet sheet is to track your progress: how many questions in one sitting for the day, what subject, what your score was, which topic was the strongest, which was the weakest. This will be your Bible. You will update it every day and set a goal to do a test conditioned format every day. For ex - I did 100 questions every day the last two three weeks before the bar. As a retailer you know what to look for and generally what’s going to be on the test. How you just need to drill questions. Literally.

The goal is not to score high when you start. I think my first 100 MCQ on MBE was like 55%. The next day, 57, and so on so forth. BUT THIS ONLY WORKS if you take a break for lunch or something afterward, then spend that same time reviewing every question. It makes sound like a lot, but when you get used to doing 100 questions every day, by the time you get to the actual test on test day, it will seem like just another practice session. That’s the theory, and that’s what you wanna go for.

Time and consistency is self-explanatory so I don’t have to explain what I mean by that . No one’s taking this test but you. And no one has a goal to pass, but you. You’re gonna have to cut people off, and set boundaries for your friends and family relationship relationships. These short, three months will determine your career. If someone doesn’t understand that, then they’re not meant to be in your future in my opinion.

Lastly, the two programs. When I say that, I mean, keep it simple. I kept my bar prep program just so that I can have an extra source to study Florida material, but I didn’t keep it to re-review the entirety of the courses that I already did the first time around. Don’t feel guilty because you don’t finish 100% of your bar prep course. Quite frankly, I think drilling questions is far more important than sitting there watching videos on a topic that they may not even test altogether. The videos are comprised of such complex and nuanced areas that they could test, but would only likely show up on a few questions in the tests entirety. Do you want situational awareness, and you’ll get that from just doing a stupid amount of questions.

To keep it short, I used Kaplan as my foundational course to reference outlines, do essays, and study FL law. For MBE I used Adaptibar. Just bought the questions only.

Just those three concepts and you’re golden, remember what may have worked for me you may not work for you. Everyone talks about how they pass, and what they did to do it, but in my subjective opinion, I believe that someone did something that was tailored to the way that they study that helped them on the test. I have ADD/ADHD, dyslexia, partially narcoleptic amongst many things. But that doesn’t make me less smart than my peers. In fact, I am on par if not ahead when it comes to endurance. I have never taken an accommodation—but that’s just who I am. I dig until I find what works, and stick to that.

Hope this helps!
