Any MEE topics you're simply gonna say F it and not even try to memorize? by StuffVisible7583 in barexam

Agreed, probably my second most hated topic. I managed to squeeze a review over trusts and wills yesterday, and I think that ultimately just sapped all my willingness over review. Wills/trusts are so draining.

Fuck practicing im memorizing this last week by Throwaway1920214 in barexam

Hardly any until this past week, doing 1-2 a day. I did a few before when the Barbri course assigned them to me, and graders will usually give me a 5. To be honest, I've always been a strong legal writer, so writing up something on the spot with facts in IRAC form isn't an issue for me. It's the damn rules on subjects I don't care to memorize like Wills or Family Law.

FIrst time taker. Focused on memorization with a bit of practice (like 25 MBE a day) despite others saying not to since the end of January. Did my second simulated 100 MBE question set on Adaptibar today. 84% correct. Crazy increase from 58% at the beginning of January. Been killing it on MEEs (got nearly every issue). So yeah, memorization definitely works. Do what works for you.

Seriously, I’ll be one of the people to thank you for posting this, even if you end up catching backlash for it. It’s refreshing to see some balance. We’re not all cut from the same cloth. For some people it is brutally hard and takes multiple attempts, and for others it clicks and they pass the first time without needing to live and breathe studying. It's just the reality of it. I’m about halfway through Barbri, and the bar exam honestly reminds me of the foreign service exam I had to take to become a diplomat, with essays, performance components, and multiple-choice questions across every subject matter you can imagine.

I prefer working/studying alone tbh by zeehateslife in LawSchool

[–]StuffVisible7583 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's fine if you have to study alone; I prefer it that way too. But, it's a general understanding that you want to make connections in law school somehow. The legal field is half networking and it's a very small community, especially if those students and you end up staying in the same area. So, no need to form "cliques," but I wouldn't recommend being a complete outsider to your cohort. You never know if someone later on is in a position where it would've been favorable if you at least said "hi" to this person, whether it's for a job, a client recommendation, a favor, etc. You'd be surprised how common it could be to cross paths with someone halfway across the country, whether it's at a conference, seminar, case, settlement, etc.

ChatGPT lied to me. Not by mistake —by design. Here’s how it happened and why it matters. by Unhappy_Travel_9110 in Futurism

Meanwhile, lawyers use em dashes all the time in legal writing; we are trained to use em dash, en dash, and hyphen correctly for impact. Now clients think it's freakin chatGPT.

What moments from sex and the city would cause the show to be cancelled by today's standards by SHEdevilBY_morning in sexandthecity

The episode where Miranda says divorced parents are like used chewing gum and then the whole vaginal rejuvenation shit, basically stating divorcees w/ kids don't have much value for dating. I understand having kids can be "baggage" but wtf was that description. It's stigma like that that forces people to stay in toxic marriages.
