well I feel like I don't know enough to fully spot all the issues on the essays and everytime I read the sample answers, I get fucked by them. I seem to miss a few issues on each essay that I look over/outline.

I dont know how I'm going to pull this off in less than 28 days.

You can't be serious.

California doesn't even have that many subjects.

And people who don't start studying until after July 4 pass the bar every year.

well there are some essays that discuss topics or issues that are not in my barbri outlines. that's what's making me worry. and then some of the sample answers are WAY too detailed and include a lot of issues I didn't even think of to include.

The barbri sample answers are flame. You're much better off studying the sample answers posted on the CA Bar site.

I feel you bro, I'm not getting every single issue on the practice exams either. The good news is you don't need to. If you pass both PT's, which seems easy as shit, you can afford to fail several of the essays and still pass with ease.

Major issues spotted plus use of all the facts should = good to go, I hope.

Also think of all the morons you know who passed.

Is this some sort of flame? You don't need to get an A on the fucking essays. Just spot the major issues and apply the law. Every fact is there for a reason. Look at each fact and ask yourself what area of law it could be applicable to. Then discuss.

there can't be more than like four or five class of 2012 bros who post here

FWIW I passed last yr and didn't start studying until beginning of July. after the exam I thought I had failed horribly. if u graduated above median from a half decent school your chances of fail are very low

I can't see how school performance matters that much. All but a handful of my exams were open book. Memorization meant nothing. Bar is all about memorization and my memory is SPS. If I had a great memory no way I would have studied law.

school performance is HIGHLY correlated with bar passage. i remember i was freaking out about passing last year and found some law review article that said top 1/2 of ucla students pass at a 99% clip, but bottom 10% was abysmal, like 20% or some shit. google it, was a good article. most of the bar failers are URMs / bottom of the class types. if u are white and did okay u have a very very low chance of failing.

you lazy fk

"For example, at my own law school (UCLA), students

who are in the top 40% of the class upon graduation have a 98% bar passage rate, while those in the bottom 10% of the class have a 40% pass rate"

http://www.law.berkeley.edu/faculty/rubinfeldd/SanderFINAL.pdf

see pg 443

I can see these stats all day but it doesn't even make sense to me.

I'm 10% at a T30, and I've failed 3/5 of the graded BarBri essays. I scraped by on the practice MBE with a 128/200.

I feel like I'm busting ass and just barely hitting the targets for the minimum pass, so how is it that so many in the top half of the class at a halfway decent school pass this thing?

Is BarBri just flame with grading/progress goals? I can't visualize that 80% of my school will pass

FOR THOSE WHO ALREADY TOOK CALIFORNIA BAR:

DO YOU HAVE TO WRITE THE ESSAYS EXACTLY HOW THE SAMPLE ANSWERS ARE WRITTEN? I TEND TO MISS A FEW ISSUES AND THIS IS BECAUSE I HAVE NOT FULLY MEMORIZED ALL MY OUTLINES.

WHAT TO DO ?!!?!? THE STUPID sample essays freak the fuck out of me
