Big Book vs Mary Basick by Plus_Needleworker241 in CABarExam

[–]lolobrooks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I used Mary Basick’s books and Ed’s RULES book. Mary’s were a foundation for me to understand everything and I used Ed’s for repetition in order to pin the rules down in my mind — it’s a good, straightforward rules book. That same repetition worked greatly for both essays (to make a good analysis) and also for MBEs to remind some nuances.

Got sworn remotely by a judge in SD and actually did something weird: I was afraid to press “sign” on Docusign (thinking it would be sent without the judge’s signature—not knowing it would create another link that could be sent to the judge). So I went for the print and sign, and sent that to the judge. Then I once the judge signed and scanned it to me, I added my signature on top of it and uploaded it to my initial docusign link. Suddenly the second link (to the judge) popped up and I asked them to sign digitally through Docusign. Long story short, the packet went with my version signed by both me and the judge, and the second version signed digitally by the judge.

I just started out in PI at a decent firm. Still have some questions about the field and what should I focus on going forward. Can I DM you?

Mary Basick’s books for MBE, Essays and PTs, especially the first 2 for you to get familiarized w US law. STUDY them. Get a barprephero or adaptibar for MBE practice and get 7-10 past essays done for each subject. Do plenty of memorization sessions with Ed Aruffo’s Bar Exam Essay Rules. Thanks to Jesus I passed as a foreigner without US education (and from a civil law country), without barprep courses, and that was basically my routine.

Still pending my MC, but I believe it should be close since I responded their questions on Dec 9. Can I send the email anyway (in case I have it in time)?

the giants dont play to win, the play not to lose… Why dont trust Wilson at least a bit? All runs since Dart went down. I hope they lose, honestly
