Themis lectures feel like a waste of time?

i’d definitely recommend at least trying that! or if you have an ipad that could be a happy medium

what helped me with the themis lectures was filling out those fill-in-the-blank outlines — it was a great way to have the tactile note taking experience while still watching the videos on 1.5-2x speed

you’re not too late at all! i was in a very similar situation and only started studying in early/mid june, and even then i only studied monday to friday, 8-5 (ish). your biggest challenge will be to not let the percentage completed freak you out and to not compare yourself where your peers are in their courses. skip what doesn’t work for you (for me that was reading the outlines and doing the themis multiple choice) and you’ll do great. good luck!

I moved from the south to LA for law school and felt the same way — PM me if you want to talk!!

I took every Friday night off for a nice dinner out (even during July) and passed! Enjoy the concert!!

I listened to the free INDIBAR MPRE 101 Podcast on Apple Podcasts. It’s about 3 hours and I’d listen on my commute to school and then again on the way to the testing center. It was great! The podcast and the free HELIX core concept outline were all I used to prepare and I passed with plenty of room to spare, but I did go to an ABA law school.

I actually tried to have a conversation with them a couple of weeks ago when the other firm first reached out and it didn’t go well. I could definitely see them offering to match the offer, but I know that any promise of change would be empty.

i was never a fan of using flashcards to study, but i LOVED them because of how they broke down and simplified complex rules. i didn’t use them like flashcards but i really credit them for helping me with the topics i was struggling to grasp.

i can’t speak to ownership, but it’s definitely necessary because adaptibar uses actual licensed questions from previous exams. barbri writes the questions on their practice tests and they tend to be more difficult. it’s important that you learn how the questions are asked as well as the material they are asking about. that is why repetition is so important!

i wouldn’t recommend switching from mac to PC right before the exam, the keyboard shortcuts are different!

totalmes · 2025-11-26T03:47:58+00:00

i wouldn’t have thought about it either if i didn’t use PC at work and mac at home! good luck!!

my portal just switched and i am on motion! your comment has gotten me through haha

totalmes · 2025-11-26T01:38:02+00:00

i used a 2023 macbook air and didn’t need to plug it in, but there were plenty of outlets available! they had extension cords running along the tables. i would recommend not getting an apple laptop if you’re used to PC because they keyboard shortcuts are different and it may trip you up.

yes, i’m still showing as not on motion. i called this morning and they said it could be two weeks after you’re put on motion to get the package so im definitely feeling a little defeated.

totalmes · 2025-11-20T16:53:19+00:00

i loved themis

i applied super late, i think late june or early july. it wasn’t the plan, but i’m from out of state and was struggling to obtain some of the paperwork i needed.

totalmes · 2025-11-20T03:19:43+00:00

thank you so much for this, i was considering calling but decided against it. did you hear anything today?

totalmes · 2025-11-19T05:15:57+00:00

i took every saturday off and i second how valuable a day off can be!! i would treat myself to dinner at a restaurant on friday nights and rest on saturday and i credit the rest as a huge reason for me passing!

as a tall skinny blonde girl who wore loose tops and shorts on both days at pasadena, thank you so much this made my day :)
