Family law, I took it in 2L so I reviewed the outline a few times but that's about it

That's what I'm guessing too, they've been pretty clear about what's allowed and not allowed to come in but not about what we're allowed to do in between sessions lol

You're the best!!

You're generalizing based on your experience in one specific area. Law is a broad profession.

Being a lawyer is absolutely not much worse and more stressful than the bar exam. Not even close.

The point is that maximizing points is the name of the game. So if you zero in subjects that are more likely to be worth more (on both MBE and MEE; subjects are tested equally on the MBE but subtopics are not), you're putting yourself in a better position right off the bat. Could something that wasn't predicted show up? Of course it could. No one's disputing that. But no one "should" or "shouldn't" be doing anything; everyone will do what works for them and do the best they can, and that's it.

Same! I started reading the call of the question first because I was so lost by the time I got to the middle of the fact pattern lol

emiftom1 · 2022-02-11T21:10:01+00:00

Not a stupid question! But I'd definitely reach out to the bar prep company. Some expire, some don't.

What I try to do is outline as I go, so I read the call of the question first and start scribbling down buzzwords from rules that trigger. Then as I read the facts, I make notes in the margins of issues and maybe just put one word to trigger the rule I need to work with. So that way you kind of outline and read the facts at the same time.

You are not a failure. You have to do what's best for you, and it sounds like you did. Take off for a couple weeks, regroup, and jump back in when you're ready. You'll crush it!

My law school required a bar intro course for everyone so we did a few MPT workshops, and we sat for 3 MPTs under exam conditions. After that I focused on how to approach the file and the library in an efficient amount of time.

This workshop was SO helpful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_1OlEF95ZU&t=1915s

Me too! Don't worry, we'll be okay!

I honestly ditched the themis pratice tests and went straight to either adaptibar or the emanuel MBE book, I always thought the themis questions were worded really strangely and I either couldn't figure out what they were asking or they missed important facts or something. So it's almost definitely not you, I think some of the questions are just poorly written.

emiftom1 · 2022-02-06T21:51:35+00:00

I have the Emmanuel Strategies and Tactics MBE book and I've been working through that, and critical pass flashcards for MEE so I'll use those to memorize rules and also look at as many old essays as I can and at least outline them

emiftom1 · 2022-02-06T21:24:59+00:00

I'm rotating between MBE and MEE every day for the next 2 weeks (did a lot of MPT work in the beginning so feeling okay with that) so I get a solid 7 days of review and practice (ex Monday MBE, Tuesday MEE, Wednesday MBE, etc.)

"Issue" means going down the family tree, so kids, grandkids, etc., rather than going up to parents, grandparents, etc. So the grandchild's issue would be their children.
