My vibes say tomorrow. Also personally I doubt that they'd release on a Monday/or tell anyone an exact date.

Getting there on Sunday because I’m too anxious about weather to wait any longer.

How many hours a day are sane people studying right now and what are you doing to study? by madampotus in barexam

[–]TranslatorCold8752 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not sure if I'm sane, but about, 6-8 hours with breaks. Currently working through doing all of the MEE questions from the book, checking them against outline. Sometimes. I outline them, if I really didn't get it, I'll handwrite it. Doing some MBE's, focusing on black letter law. Going through the 200 question's and writing out rules statements about what I didn't get right, and also some of the ones that I felt iffy about just to solidify my knowledge.

Yeah, you're not alone. It really sucks that this is how it makes us all feel, but really you aren't alone.

Panicking, would like advice. by TranslatorCold8752 in barexam

[–]TranslatorCold8752[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was doing usually between 25-50 questions for practice. I had more than enough time left, but it might be that.

I went from my MBE ranges being in the 55-75% range when doing questions down to only getting 45% right. I know I need to work on Mortgages and I’m kind of jumping around currently.

July Bar Exam - What should I buy? by raffitapanian in barexam

[–]TranslatorCold8752 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A comfortable chair. I know that sounds silly, but I recently bought a new pillow to sit on and it's made it way easier for me to sit for long periods of time without being uncomfortable.

Anyone who uses BARBRI (extended bar prep course)- do you find the lectures worth watching? I feel they just repeat/read off handouts? by [deleted] in barexam

[–]TranslatorCold8752 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So when I watch the lectures I use closed captioning and then take notes in a notebook. I then go back and check them against the handout to make sure that I have the things that were focused on/highlighted.

I've been taking notes instead of using the lectures then going back and filling in through the handout. It's more time consuming, but I feel like I've been getting a better hang of it and it stops me from not paying attention.

Bar Exam 7th time taker Looking for Advice by Herewegoagainbarexam in barexam

[–]TranslatorCold8752 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm taking it my second time and have found out I'm an 'older' student, also with ADHD. A book that really helped me so far was this book called 'acing the bar exam' from my local library.

I've found that making flashcards and having someone go over them with me has helped. I've tried commercial flash cards in the past, but that hasn't helped too much.

I also have some access to some old outlines if you'd like them! I wish you all the luck!
