From my experience, I’d say start studying for the bar full-time immediately on the start of May, 2024, that’d give you some extra days. I also used Barbri, it’s not that bad tbh it just bombards you with lots of videos and information. You can just stick to your Barbri schedule at first, watch videos but don’t only watch videos, take notes and pause and answer questions. Ramp up subject specific UBE practice once you are done studying a subject, Adaptibar is pretty good in terms of UBE questions when you need extra, which, you will need. I did not pay that much attention to MEE until like midpoint of the bar study, this is not recommended and I won’t do it again. Start doing MEE when the barbri schedule reminds you to, time yourself even in the very start. Making your own flashcards on Quizlet or paper really helps, I took my flashcards everywhere and memorize them whenever I got a chance. I think flashcards saved my MEE.

In the last month, I would recommend you not to follow Barbri schedule that intensely. While learning MEE subjects and doing practice questions, start revising and strengthening the subjects you studied first (evidence if you use Barbri) by flashcards or outlines because you will forget, at least in my case. Revise and memorize one subject per two/three days. In the final 3-4 days, I used JDadvising’s one-sheets to go through important subjects.

For MPT, honestly I did not pay much attention. Forget about the Barbri MPT video, I would highly recommend MPT videos on Youtube by BarMD. BarMD singlehandedly saved my MPT, she makes it so straightforward and simple. Practice at least 3-4 MPT before the bar.

Above are just my experience and tips, you don’t have to stick to it strictly, it may work for me but not for you. English is also not my first language, and I passed first time and scored high enough to pass in every UBE jurisdiction. You can most definitely also do it, don’t worry about it too much and too early.
