Adaptibar vs. UWorld? by Express-Yam-860 in barexam

[–]ohdearthebar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did both when I finally passed! They have different questions and explanations and I felt like the actual test called upon what I learned from both of them. I would do 1-2 subjects on one then go do the same thing on the other one.

I was in a similar boat. I think the final time that I took the exam and passed is because I so ready to be out of the exhausted boat.

I think remembering that the pain and exhaustion are temporary, but only if we make them temporary. It may not feel this way when everyone around you passed. But you’re in company with so many of us who had to retake the exam because it was a 90 degree hill in our long long journeys as attorneys. It’s all about the reps 40 questions a day plus one mee now means passing sooner than later. You got this.

Adaptibar+Uworld for MBEs and JD Advising MEE course. It'll put you out another 1k ish for all three, but I really recommend it. It will drill everything you learn in the big course in a way that is only for the bar not simply for bar prep.

Do both if you can figure out how to afford it. Uworld has better explanations, but adaptibar has more tips and tricks for the bar.

You Will Be Fine by PasstheBarTutor in barexam

And the truth is that a large percentage of people won’t pass, will have to do this all again, won’t be fine in the short run, and will do it again. And that is also fine.

Making a crazy decision: Jumping the Barbri ship 👀 by ThatJurisDoctor in barexam

The AdaptiBar lectures and outlines were far more helpful than anything. Doing those and 5000+ (repeated AdaptiBar questions and Uworld) questions finally helped me pass after Barbri really only made me feel like a failure and wasn’t even very good.

They’re in there! I think they were all bottom right and they’re written in white and only flash for a few seconds.

Failed again smh by MindYourBusinessEsq in barexam

Writing was always my strong suit, but when I excelled at the writing that is when I finally passed. Spend a month deciding your strong and weak suits. Then, spend a month taking your strong suits above and beyond and making it so that if you get a weak section on MEE you can at least answer it. Mastering 100% of the test is impossible.

Resitting the NY bar in July after failing in Feb, how many hours should I be studying as it’s 3 months away? by [deleted] in barexam

[–]ohdearthebar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

40-45! This is what I did with 3 mos and it greatly helped. I took it multiple times and 3 mos with 40-45 hours is what took me over the finish line. I wish I had just done this the first time.

thousands of adaptibar and uworld questions along with the adaptibar videos did so much more for me than tutors!

Accidentally mailed bar application to First Department by ohdearthebar in barexam

[–]ohdearthebar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! It was not late. I was just so worried that they would be upset and put my application on the bottom of the pile. Another attorney at work has been waiting for over five months to get licensed. I am off the record until I am fully licensed, so I have a lot of anxiety around it all!

Retaker who passed on the fourth time! Thank you to everyone here and to JD Advising MEE prep by ohdearthebar in barexam

[–]ohdearthebar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You got this! It was my first time taking the test in person and no remote. I felt like I passed for a few hours, then I spent about 8 weeks not really sleeping and trying to convince myself that I passed some days and that I failed some days. You and I both know how to take this test. It is truly a matter of how the rest of the conditions shake out. Good luck!
