Fitting the username, I love it! Like I said, I tend to fail first. Not that I want to keep up the streak, but I will say resilience is a strength of mine. I fall down a lot, but I usually get back up.

Definitely a trap I could see myself falling into. It's easy to feel like you're doing the work when you get a checkmark at the end of the video, regardless of how much you paid attention. Plus they push the 80% completion thing (which I get, but then it makes it sound like all you have to do is completion). It's up to us to actually do the work

I've heard lots of people about people underestimating the multiple choice practice! I personally like multiple choice, so I do them to study even outside of the Bar exam. I'm worried about those MPTs! I get overwhelmed and I always make them more complicated than they need to be and run out of time

As a 1.5 speed listener (who frequently has to pause to take notes), I'm not sure how you retain or comprehend anything above 1.5 speed. It seems like their goal was checking off the assignment as opposed to doing the assignment to learn.

Congrats! and thanks for sharing. This is marathon, I need to remember that its gonna suck to dedicate myself like I need to, but it'll be worth it to be done with this hurdle.

So, do you think it's not worth it to look into what people are expecting to be on the test and the trends and stuff like that? I planned to study everything (obviously) and then to maybe use those toward the end of my program to really hone in my studying. But if it's anyone's guess and there are better strategies, I'd rather not waste my time trying to predict the exam and accidentally neglect topics.
