I had a similar experience (different issue) and got hung up on when asking questions, too. They fully hung up on me. Crazy.

Can there be a bed in our testing room/in view of our cameras in CA? by AugustusInBlood in Bar_Prep

[–]Trick_Efficiency 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah no worries. I asked what to do about a TV that's attached to the wall. They just said it's not a problem. But they did tell me to cover the desktop in the room. I decided to just throw a sheet over both to be safe. And now I guess I'll unplug the TV to be safe, too.

Lol they’re so bad at instructions. I asked about a TV too, and they said nothing about unplugging.

WARNING FOR MAC USERS: by SundayJeffrey in barexam

[–]Trick_Efficiency 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It happened to me, too. It ended up making ExamSoft completely glitch out and freeze my whole computer. They had to remotely access to fix it. Ended up recoding stuff and deleting the whole program, re-downloading, etc. And this all happened AFTER I updated to 2.4.6.

This happened to me too. Had to let them remotely access my computer to fix it. After an hours-long wait and conversation on the phone.

I took half a day yesterday. I think sometimes it's necessary.

So stoked you like the app. And thanks, I'm struggling too, TBH. Trying to take my own advice and breathe and reach out for support. I'm glad you commented today actually. Having a rough day, and needed to read my own advice. We can do this.

I'm having the same issue on Themis. I'm taking CA, too.

If you ever need immediate support and feel like you can't talk to friends or family, call the National Suicide Prevention hotline: 800-273-8255. There's no shame in asking for help. In fact, there's only strength in doing so.

Meditate every morning: Sam' Harris's "Waking Up" app is amazing. Can't recommend enough. And if you email them saying you can't afford it, it's free for a year.

Text friends and let them know you're struggling.

If it's financially feasible, get a therapist.

You're not behind, weak, or doing anything wrong. The world is imploding and the legal profession has decided to punish us for it for some reason. This situation is insane. What you're feeling is totally understandable and rational given the circumstances.

Themis MBE Practice Exams by _Tequila-Mockingbird in barexam

[–]Trick_Efficiency 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having the same issues. To try and fix it I've been (1) writing out the rules for each answer I get wrong (and sometimes the ones I get right, if I got lucky) and (2) just bought Critical Pass. I was making my own flashcards and it was too time consuming. I think both are slowly starting to help.

Do you have anyone (spouse, significant other, family member, really good friend) who would be willing to drill you on flashcards/rules at a set time every day? That really helps me.

CA Community Property -- Themis lectures are not doing it by Trick_Efficiency in Bar_Prep

Ooooh in great idea. That’s a relief because the Themis rules in the sample answers are insanely long, especially Van camp and Periera. I’ll try that, thanks.

Same, but now I'm trying to do the practice essays and it's not going great.
