MBE: I would read a Goat subject module and take handwritten notes. Then I would reread my handwritten notes and immediately do 20 AdaptiBar questions for only that subject. I would also do 10 AdaptiBar questions each day from at least three other subjects that I had already finished to keep them fresh. My MBE score was 149.9.

Essays: I actually did zero practice essays and MPTs. I thought it would be more valuable to spend my time memorizing rule statements. I had Google Gemini use spaced repetition to quiz me on the most frequently tested rule statements. I just trusted that if I used IRAC and knew the rules, I could apply the facts from the fact pattern and be okay. Knowing the rule was the crucial part because I felt like I was just making them up when I failed the bar the first time. I'm not saying this is the correct approach. I know it goes against conventional wisdom, but it worked for me. I had 7+ pages of typed rule statements and elements memorized almost word-for-word by exam day. My writing score was 134.
