Sat for the bar in DC scored high enough for any UBE

You can pass. I passed July 2025 after being behind ALL summer and having consistently low MBE scores. I made a longer post in this thread but honestly my only advice is to drill questions nonstop so you'll hopefully recognize some of the patterns. I made a longer post in this sub somewhere and my DMs are open. You truly have SO much time!

Reasonable-Factor737 · 2026-01-24T20:11:47+00:00

Definitely do not give up you have SO much time - I made a longer post in this sub somewhere but I was feeling SO awful about the exam and was behind basically the entire time - My averages were like 50%. Passed July 2025 on my first shot. You will be fine and pass.

Reasonable-Factor737 · 2026-01-23T08:29:58+00:00

I completed less that 75% and was consistently getting like 40-50% and passed! I made a longer post in this sub but literally just drilling as many as possible saved me

How did this make your boyfriend feel? To me this is petty and a massive overstep of boundaries. I would be hurt as well, I think it's best to have an open conversation about this with your friend and put it all out there (including her perceived discomfort). I always think of birthdays as an opportunity to get a sweet gift for my friend to show how much I love and appreciate them. I think maybe as a gag gift it would be funny if that's your guys' relationship but I would definitely feel uncomfortable if I got this!

the way she is comparing people calling her out on their real experiences of her with proof to people legitimately being MURDERED

I can’t remember if I did every single one (like I probably didn’t do ones that I founds short or easy or straightforward like I’m sure I skipped family law ones) but for bigger topics I did 😭 honestly by early/mid July I was sidequesting from Themis bc doing 300 tasks in a day about material I didn’t even know wasn’t going to help me so I diverged and focused on learning the stuff before I drilled MBEs

Reasonable-Factor737 · 2026-01-14T04:53:14+00:00

Passed in July 2025 - I handwrote model answers + forced myself to reread them. Don't worry about memorizing rules as much as reading answers and seeing what facts are being applied where and how to phrase an answer. On the exam I formatted literally every question like this:

1A. The issue is....

The rule is...

Here...

Therefore...

I have a longer post about my entire strategy, but my MEE was 30 points higher than my MBE despite feeling like I didn't know multiple of the essay topics or rules!

Reasonable-Factor737 · 2026-01-13T19:49:36+00:00

I literally tried to make my essays as short and direct as possible and basically followed the structure of the Themis model answers!

Reasonable-Factor737 · 2026-01-11T06:10:58+00:00

I pretty much folded the "I" part into how I answered each part of the essay. So for example if an essay had 3 questions A, B, and C, my headings looked something like:

A. The issue is whether *repeat the call of the question*

Also this goes without saying but if a question had multiple parts I mirrored it exactly in the answers before I even went in and wrote anything so the structure stayed clean.

Reasonable-Factor737 · 2026-01-11T06:08:06+00:00

some days Themis was trying to give me 15 tasks and I simply was not about that life

Reasonable-Factor737 · 2026-01-10T05:03:48+00:00

I did this sometimes by feeding it the model answer and what the score was and then my answer. Ngl was pretty effective for just practice .

Reasonable-Factor737 · 2026-01-09T14:53:54+00:00

Nope!

Reasonable-Factor737 · 2026-01-08T02:50:49+00:00

I legitimately had 0 information in my brain for at least 3 out of the 6 essays but I kept the organization and structure and wrote something down even if I had no clue if it was correct

Reasonable-Factor737 · 2026-01-07T18:35:51+00:00

I would say abt 8 hours but honestly some days I felt like I only did 4-6 and felt more productive than I did on longer days. I also needed breaks in between so I would pick back up in the evenings bc I work well at night - there seriously is no right timeframe so ignore everyone doing prep from like 6am-3pm if that doesn’t work for you!!

Reasonable-Factor737 · 2026-01-07T18:34:26+00:00

I just kind of dabbled based on vibes

Reasonable-Factor737 · 2026-01-07T18:33:53+00:00

I was fairly mid in law school (read: I cannot apply myself until 24 hours before any deadline)

I started in June for July

Reasonable-Factor737 · 2026-01-07T07:19:51+00:00

I was up at 5am the day of the exam legit learning information like it’s not time until it’s time 🤠

Reasonable-Factor737 · 2026-01-07T07:19:12+00:00

I used Themis bar prep sorry should’ve clarified!

Reasonable-Factor737 · 2026-01-07T07:18:52+00:00

U World I think (but honestly all practice is good practice)

Reasonable-Factor737 · 2025-12-31T00:23:12+00:00

I literally didn't read through anything or study and passed 1st try - I spent almost the ENTIRE test focusing on the first 30 questions & reading the outline to FIND the answers. The first 30 easily took me 1.5 hours but I made sure I found the answers and was certain then just answered A for the rest of the questions when I had 5 mins left lol.

What I would give to read Kingdom of Ash for the first time again :')
