I started studying today. Finally opened the box. I'm doing NY/NJ. I'm freaking the fuck out. I keep clicking on shit and it says I was supposed to do it on May 30 or June 3 and I have no fuckin clue how to get this shot going or where to start. Should I watch the videos? I wasted an entire fuckin day starring at the fuckin wall with my dick in my hand not knowing what I'm doing.

Rate my progress for Cali bar exam:

1. Been practicing MBE problems for crim law/pro and torts. Scoring 80%+ on these subjects. Haven't memorized these outlines yet though.

2. Now working on evidence. Expect to have sufficient mastery of rules/exceptions by tomorrow where I'm scoring 80% on MBE problems.

3. Then working on remaining MBE problems and expect to have sufficient mastery by end of this weekend.

4. Then, next week, turning my attention to state subjects and practicing essays.

Summary: only really have torts and crim down, but haven't memorized the outlines yet. Working on rest. Am I delusional to think my progress is ok even though CA is the toughest bar?

Thoughts?

CA has a lower passage rate than most other states (low 70s, I think).

From this, people infer that the CA bar is harder than other state bar exams. But the correct inference, IMO, is that the average person taking the CA bar is dumber than those taking other state bar exams.

You should be fine brother. 80%+ accuracy on the MBE gets you four-fifths of the way (assuming you can write a passable essay on an MBE topic).

For the essay-only topics: rather than memorize entire outlines, try to memorize boilerplate/canned responses for the biggest issues they're likely to test. Literally 3/4 of your essay can be reduced to boilerplate; if you use IRAC, the I, R, and C can all be canned. The A can mostly be canned too -- just throw in a couple facts from the fact pattern to "argue" both sides. That was my approach to community property and wills & trusts (I hadn't taken those courses in law school and couldn't be bothered to learn them in time for the bar).

Oh, and start with PR. You're guaranteed a PR essay or performance exam question (or both).

MBE is NOT the easy part due to all the nuances/exceptions that can be applied. If anything, it's the essays that you can fudge since you only need to touch on a certain general rule. I didn't even do any practice essays and scored high on nearly all of them when I took the bar in Feb.

I'm worried about MBE man. Harder since last july, Civ Pro questions no one has seen, having to plow through 200 of those things in two 3 hour blocks.

The essays seem much easier. Write well, remember the most commonly tested state rules, and apply mbe law and it seems like you will pass.

you've not previously taken a bar, i assume? don't worry about the timing. it's hard as fuck to get the timing down when you're practicing. after every question i watch at least one or two videos on youtube (tom hanks in the new carly rae jepsen? awesome!).

but, during the actual test, you'll just be rocking through them. i promise. timing is the last thing to worry about.

Why say that? My biggest problem when prepping for the bar was staying focused for large blocks of time. I didn't take adderall, but I found that I couldn't even do a full 2 hours of work without a huge amount of caffeine...the material was just too dry.

On test day, I don't think I would have finished on time had it not been for the 20 oz coffee beforehand. I have problems focusing on material I'm not 100% interested in so the caffeine definitely helps me.

I've never understood why people spend tons of time on that either. If one graduated from law school and knows the law, they should be able to ace the essay portion without doing a single practice essay exam.

Eh, I just go through the essays and outline real quick the rule. I do not write out full answers or anything tho. I just want to make sure that i can spot the issue, state the rule, and move on.

Some of the subjects I have never taken in law school, like fucking family law, so I just want to make sure I have some familiarity with it.

I agree with respects to writing out full answers, as in including the facts and shit. That is a waste of time. I can finish the outlines usually in 5-10 minutes.
