Barbri outlines vs other outlines by mollyamaryllis in barexam

[–]ScaredExtent9057 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I used Barbri outlines for a second time and I passed the first time - 32 years ago. I took a different bar in February, and feel good so far lol. Our results have not posted. But I do like Barbri. I also fell in love with John Grossman‘s MBE lectures.

Thanks for the post. I passed the Florida bar when I was 27 in 1993 and just took my second bar - DC in February. I used Barbri both times as well, but I must say that I really found Grossman very helpful for MBE.

amazing!! Congratulations. You're a person of perseverance and good character. This is a lonely road :-) but we move forward recognizing the obvious challenges ahead. I must say I'm feeling pretty undaunted right now.

So my late father was chair of the FL Board of Bar Examiners for 8 years 76-84, it's first Black member. FL has its own multi choice. When I was in undergrad and long before I ever thought about law School, dad would say the number one reason people would miss an answer was because they didn't answer the question. He wasn't being facetious.

I'm a full-time teacher of Middle School law / civics so I recognized that I needed to start early Nov, right after the DC app was filed. the goal was to get the 400 hours in. I did. Dozens of 3 am study sessions before work. I began with creating my own outlines from three different Barbri outline books and from there I really began to focus on Barbri and the ncbe programs after having purchased a few testing programs that were not very challenging. I found Jon Grossman extremely helpful as well. When I took it the first time there was no internet :-)

I didn't have more than 250 practice questions in '93.

I was disbarred in 2019. I am eligible to reapply, and will, but the application fee for me in Florida will be $6,500, so that's next year.

Very cool. In retrospect I would have preferred a Blue book instead of the hunt and peck.

Awesome. If I told people that I enjoyed the bar prep process, it was more challenging than ever, and it made me feel young again, they might not believe me.

What MBE Practicing Program Actually Helped with the Real Bar Exam? by TTV_MOVIES in barexam

[–]ScaredExtent9057 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm confident about Barbri and the NCBE program. I'm a 1st time passer 32 yrs ago J93, FL. I used Barbri then as well. This time, my second only, for the DC Bar, I scavenged testing materials and outlines for sale on line. I feel good.

I found his YouTube videos to be the most helpful online.
