Date: February 20th, 2012 1:45 PM Author: Mentally impaired temple giraffe Been focusing on the lectures and making sure I got those handouts filled out. Takes me longer to watch the lectures because i rewind constantly to get a better grasp of the material. I do some mbe questions and look at essays and model answers here and there. Going to reread the lecture handouts this week. Fml. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1878849&forum_id=2#20007064) |

yes. i quit after 400 problems. i've done a lot more adaptibar and read a bunch of state specific shit
now i'm pulling 70+% on the mbe
im more worried about the state essays now |
|
Date: February 20th, 2012 2:09 PM Author: sepia round eye location how many Qs you done on adaptibar? i am petrified re state essays, almost can't bring myself to do any more MBE prep. then again i am a retaker and pwned the mbe the first time and am at like 74% on adaptibar. but only done 500 questions. |
|
Date: February 20th, 2012 2:11 PM Author: alcoholic spot i've only done studysmart MBE questions on barbri - what makes adaptibar better? harder/easier/more reflective? i know that when i took the MBE for my first state, the MBE just seemed different from barbri, but i passed (have no idea how i did on the MBE itself though since CA didn't release component scores).

Date: February 20th, 2012 2:14 PM Author: pea-brained laughsome cruise ship quite frankly,
adaptibar uses all the 1400 or so questions from the actual NCBE
most of them are easier than what you'll see on the MBE, but some of them are pretty hard, and everyone I've talked to says the format is identical. It would be pretty stupid if the format WASN'T identical, because they are questions that were actually on MBEs in the past.
adaptibar also figures out what subtopics you suck at and then focus more questions in those areas while throwing you a bone occasionally in the ones you're good at |
|
Date: February 20th, 2012 2:12 PM Author: pea-brained laughsome cruise ship quite frankly,
like 600. i pissed away a lot of time doing AMP, which is like 1500 useless definitional questions
my average on adaptibar was pretty low (62%), but that was because it was asking me 2x more questions in subtopics i suck at and leaving out the ones I'm good at
I took the 2011 NCBE online practice exam and got a 74%, which scaled to like a 158, because the number of each question type is more fairly apportioned and I'm overall in much better shape than I thought
state essays, however...

Date: February 20th, 2012 2:25 PM Author: sepia round eye location that AMP shit is time consuming. i did it for a couple subjects and i don't think it helped. though at this point we're at the saturation level where it feels like we know everything and nothing at once, granted.
barbri is kind of flame for assigning 2 hours of this experimental new AMP shit per day in this last week, when (for CA at least) we could be writing 2 practice essays in that time and getting more out of it.
dislike that they are using us february bar takers as AMP guinea pigs. i wonder if it will stick around. THAT SAID i do think AMP is going to be good as an eleventh hour refresher for the MBE topics. i may use it for that. |
|
Date: February 20th, 2012 3:40 PM Author: pea-brained laughsome cruise ship quite frankly,
I will say, the AMP refresher setup (get 1 right, mastered, get it wrong, have to answer it twice in a row like you slogged through before) is better than the original AMP system
I scored quite well on a practice exam and switched to just doing AMP refresher to see if I know the law, and I'm honestly burning through it, 90 min or less per full subject.
The flame part of it, though, is that I learned the fucking law from Adaptibar more than I did from anything in barbri, and I'm just using AMP to quiz myself now that we're 1.5 weeks out from the MBE.
It is, quite frankly, completely useless for anything else, and I hope they retire it. |
|
Date: February 20th, 2012 2:52 PM Author: Very Tactful Avocado Field i honestly wonder how many people barbri is going to fuck over with that AMP shit (this is the first time they've used it). i spoke to one guy who hadn't been doing any practice MBE questions because he was trying to get through all the assigned AMP stuff.

|
Date: February 20th, 2012 3:32 PM Author: pea-brained laughsome cruise ship quite frankly,
I'm doing the AMP refresher thing (I did all of AMP in december), and it's actually surprising how many I'm getting right in mere seconds per question. 95+%
I really learned all the concepts, however, from the 1000+ mbe practice questions I did from january to now...not from doing AMP in december.
it's total flame |
|
Date: February 20th, 2012 2:00 PM Author: alcoholic spot i'm lateraling in another state and only got off work after the first week of feb. (after billing 200+ hours in january), so i've had to cram everything into these 3 weeks. have no fucking idea what the paced program calls for, but i've listened to all the lectures, gone over a friend's outlines, done MBE problems (was performing like shit until yesterday; now i'm pulling 70-85% on all subjects except for evidence, which is still raping me; plan to wrap up substantive MBE studying tomorrow) and then turn my attention to the state subjects.
it won't be pretty, but it's been done. |

Date: February 20th, 2012 2:16 PM Author: alcoholic spot the CMR just doesn't stick to my brain. i realize that every fucking thing we'd ever need to know is in there, and it's not even that long, but it doesn't promote retention at all. like reading through my friend's 8-page condensed outline on crimlaw took me from 50% to 85% on the barbri MBE's, while reading the CMR's crimlaw section twice only took me from 40% to 50%.
so for the state essays, i think the best i can hope for is to retain the lecture handouts and bullshit between the lines. |
