Date: February 18th, 2018 7:11 PM Author: mauve elastic band Kaplan user, first time taker in state where 264 is passing
115/200 on MBE midterm 112/200 on MBE final (supposed to be much tougher than midterm)
TLS spreadsheets show that people with these scores often end up with scaled MBE of 132-141
67% on Kaplan Con Law (300 qs) / 85% on Emanuel's previously released Con Law (52 Qs) 66% on Kaplan Crim Law / Procedure (200 Qs) / 77% on Emanuel's previously released Crim (55 Qs) 65% on Kaplan Civ Pro (300 qs) / 72% on Emanuel's (45 Qs) 63% on Kaplan Torts (300 qs) 59% on Kaplan Contracts (200 qs) 54% on Kaplan Evidence (200 qs) 48% on Kaplan Property (150 qs)
I feel confident about two state essay subjects; OK about one; unsure on the others (either haven't reviewed or haven't started to learn)
exam is in 9 days |

Also depending on the state studying for mbe will also have crossover into essays so you get more bang for your buck knowing torts, etc. than state trusts and estate law |

Date: February 19th, 2018 3:57 PM Author: Slippery useless brakes principal's office 9 days is plenty of time. Do 200-300 MBE questions a day and read the answers, and then read essays for 2-4 hours depending on your stamina. Shoot for 275/day which is 2500, which is plenty if you read the answers. Always read the answers and figure out what you got wrong. It's like learning to do multiplication and division in your head. You have to drill hard, but for most people who get into a T14 doing 9 super intense days is better than doing 3 half-assed weeks.

also, goddamn, 275 MBE a day is crazy. that's like, what, 7 hours PLUS review (another couple hours) plus outlining essays?
my plan is still 50 Qs a day, 1 more full-length MBE, outlining all previous state essays---going back 10 years---on subjects tested >20% of the timing |

your starting point is fine given you have 9 days left. keep plugging away, don't be a faggot about it, don't question yourself, don't quit. if you stop swimming you'll drown.
adderall xr helps.
lectures are 100% flame and should be skipped, reading outlines is 95% flame. skim the outline very, very quickly ONCE ever before you start hitting questions. you can return to the outline to figure out why you answered a question incorrectly. other than initial review + figuring out where you fucked up, reading outlines is a great way to wrongly convince yourself you know the subject when you're actually clueless.
even if you pay no attention to any other advice: *****spend as much time taking questions as possible.***** (and subsequently figuring out where you went wrong.)
focus on the subjects that come up most frequently and on the areas you find easiest (most pleasant?) to shore up. the quick improvements will reduce your anxiety so you can move on to the less important and less pleasant subjects.
good luck, and bump this thread when you get your results. |
