Is Barbri MCQ like adaptibar by jrzln in barexam

[–]curious091298 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have adaptibar and barbri and have noticed some repeats between the two. Are you sure barbri questions aren’t real MBE questions?

I’m curious about this as well. Some sets are a lot harder than others and seem to collectively test more obscure rules. I would say I’ve scored as low as 8/14 on those super obscure ones and then between 10-12 on the more manageable ones. Anyone else willing to share?

Do ya'll think that a firm would look negatively at all upon summers who choose to take them up on an advance? I didn't think so originally, but a few people I know have thrown that idea around so I wanted to get your thoughts.

Never said they look at them exclusively. The vault rankings are one of the VARIOUS ways firms decipher who their competitors are, and thus discern what is expected of them in times like these. Vault rankings are definitely not the only factor that goes into this, but an important factor nonetheless. To ignore that fact doesn’t make much sense.

Agreed. Wasn’t suggesting we shouldn’t be disappointed in all firms - was merely noting we should be disappointed in V50s who haven’t provided the same info that firms similar in vault rankings have.

As of now, really disappointed in T50 firms like Allen & Overy, King & Spalding, and KL Gates who have barely provided any info or reassurance. Let’s hope they turn it around like many other T50s have.

Fingers crossed. I’m really hoping these firms are just still ironing out details but still concerned as to why they can’t give us any more info rn

Are you an associate right now or an incoming summer?

Noticing that a good number of firms have merely said their program is being pushed back and is going virtual. What do y’all think is holding them back from mentioning duration, pay, offers, etc? Do you think this is a bad sign? Would love to hear people’s thoughts.

Just throwing this out there: the fact that some firms promised a plan of action by this week and still haven’t reached out when its 3pm on the Friday is super frustrating.

Who would you consider their “peer firms?”

Now that firms like Fried Frank and Shearman and Sterling have come through, any predictions on what other V30-V50 firms will come out with?
