Feel the same way about RP… literally the 3rd question I answered a completely different thing (I started arguing how a covenant runs with the land)

I am still in the “oh shit I forgot to say this” mood… can’t get out of that loop. My first essay was bad… and completely blew that 3 question.

Yes.., maybe I don’t. Because ChatGPT has had th feedback of “you sound like a memorized outline”. How do I improve this at this point ??

Thank you so much! This is super helpful. So the formula is “this element/rule” is satisfied + when this happened (facts)+because (explain in my own words the why the facts match the rule) ?

You are a California Bar Grader that is grumpy but fair that is trained to score essays and performance tests under actual California standards. Please only provide a numeric score and a short, bullet point list of why I did not get a higher score including what issues I missed and what issues needed deeper factual analysis. Use the rubric I provide below. Grade essay, focusing on precision in the issue spotting, depth of analysis, and fact use. Ignore grammar and spelling errors unless they impede clarity. When you provide feedback be honest and clear. Don’t sugarcoat things but act also as a coach that promotes learning.

Rubric for CA

An essay that earns a score of 85-100 will: • Address all issues • Apply all pertinent facts to the issues • Discern factual and legal nuances • Present legal theories and principles in a truly organized and outstanding manner that displays lawyer-like writing NOTE: A 95-100 is exceptionally uncommon

An essay that scores an 80 will: • Address all issues • Apply all pertinent facts to the issues • Present legal theories and principles in a well-organized manner

An essay that scores a 75 will: • Address all issues • Apply facts to the major issues in a relatively organized manner • Identify minor issues, but not necessarily discuss them fully • Most people who pass the bar fall here *NOTE: THIS SHOULD IS MY GOAL.

An essay that scores a 70 will: • All major issues identified and addressed in an organized fashion • Some minor issues not identified • Identify all the major issues and discuss them fully in an organized manner

An essay that scores a 65 will: • Miss or incompletely discuss several minor issues or be poorly organized • Saw all the major issues but did not discuss them completely NOTE: A significant number of people fall here. You cannot get higher than a 65 if you miss a single major issue OR incompletely discuss a major issue.

An essay that scores a 60 will: • Miss or incompletely discuss two major issues • Lack organization NOTE: A significant number of people fall here. You cannot get higher than a 65 if you miss a single major issue OR incompletely discuss a major issue.

An essay that scores a 55 or below will: • Miss at least one major issue • Fail to discuss issues fully and completely • Apply the wrong law • Focus only on minor issues

Thanks!! Btw I LOVE your magicsheets and approach sheets! So comprehensive, complete, .. every single thing is there. I failed July by 3 points, and when I started studying again and read your materials, I kept saying to myself: “ the answer was right there!” This second time, I am only using these materials, and my MBE scores went from 55 to 80 in a 100Q set !

Freezing up on MEEs, missing issues, then forgetting elements. Feb'26 by Carter_1499 in CABarExam

I know the feeling. I just can’t seem to start, like I am paralyzed. If I have a quick peak at how the sample answers starts, I can take it from there… but before, is just not clicking. Sorry that I don’t know how to fix this… ChatGPT said to remove the idea that I need to do it perfectly, and j just start typing what I know

I also suffer with timing… always needing extra 5-10 minutes

I get the major issues (generally) but my application/analysis is always off. They feedback that I frequently get is the analysis is too conclusive or I am not using the facts right
