I'm taking BARBRI. Do I need to work everything in the program or are there things I can skip?

gunner style:

go to class, fill in the blanks

go home, outline the class notes (not copy pasta shit, but build an actual outline from the class outline with filled in blanks / use the BarBri reference materials to fill in points) - this is how you'll actually learn most of the material

try to keep up with the BarBri study schedule, but realize and accept it will be hard to impossible to do everything they tell you to while also outlining the notes, so prioritize and try to catch up on weekends

Start turning your outlines into flashcards of key stuff you need to memorize

Come later June / early July, you should be fairly solid on MBE, so MBE should be put on cruz control (don't ignore it entirely, as you need to maintain your skills and knowledge, but you need to start shifting focus to essays in July)

AS the bar exam gets closer, major focus should be on cranking out lots of essays, studying flash cards, and writing new flash cards for the major issues you're missing on essays

relevant to my interests. IMO the MOAST important thing about this gay test is knowing the credited study method. Outlining (taking notes on) the Barbri outlines takes to long, the online lectures are way to surface level, would enjoy some advice on how to attack this piece of shit

"online lectures are way to surface level"

Are these the same as the class lectures? I found the class lectures + fill in outline was 90+% of what I needed to know. The key of the bar is breadth of knowledge, not depth. Sure, the MBE tests a bunch of nuance not in the outlines, but you pick that shit up by doing the practice tests.

60 MBE Qs per day (10 on each subject) will get you good on MBE. Attend Bar Bri, make your own flashcards, write practice essays, don't be a faggot on exam day -> license.

dont study until after July 4th. The bar is easy, you just have to do better than the other mouth breathers.

This is fucking shit-tastic advice.

True that there are TTT and TTTT and even TTTTTTTTT toileteers who will be taking the same exam. That said, don't fuck around. Smart T14 people fail this shit every year because they fuck around. Do you really want to have to explain being one of them?

I'm not suggesting 16-hour study days. Just do your shit (Bar Bri class, practice questions, a few drinks, sleep, repeat) and you'll be fine.
