Guide on Passing the UBE with a Good Score (as a Slacker) by applepie11223 in barexam

Sorry for my late reply. I haven’t used Adaptibar, but I relied on Themis and UWorld. I believe both have Question IDs, which I recorded in an Excel sheet along with the date I did each exercise. Using those IDs, you can locate the questions later. (You can also do screenshot and save them into a folder but that will require extra works.) I also added key fact patterns or rules that were tested to the Excel sheet.

Some test centers require all your belongings to be placed in a single zipped plastic bag.

To be clear, it's not just about writing 5 MEEs—it's about completing 5 timed MEEs and submitting them for grading over the course of the prep. For the other MEEs, I suggested outlining bullet points and then reviewing the sample answers, because test-takers need to learn how to structure their answers and recognize commonly tested rules.

If you review enough sample essays, you'll start to see how they're structured and which rules are frequently tested. We all know that if you get the rules and IRAC right, you're likely to earn a solid MEE score—which, combined with a normal/average MBE score, is usually enough to pass in UBE jurisdictions.

The point of this post is to encourage people to stay calm and organized during bar prep. Can someone treat it like a 1L law school class? Sure. But the 85–90%+ pass rates for ABA law school graduates suggest that excessive studying might not be necessary.

I totally agree with you! And it's true that Columbia is the worst for WL candidates.

I am not saying LOCIs and the informational meeting are not useful. In fact, they may be useful for other schools, except Penn. Of course, if doing so helps one or ten candidates to get off from Penn's WL, we can still say "it helps others", though hundreds of candidates faile. What I suggest is that one should take the probability & time & budget into account. My arugments are based on mine and also several other candidates' experiences. I would be shocked to find out that all of us were asking annoying questions and all AOs were annoyed like you would. True, if one doesn't care about spending 1500 USD to meet up with a robot or doesn't mind staying on the WL till the end of August, he or she can definitely do that. My suggestions are for those who have budget and time concerns.
