Date: July 11th, 2010 1:54 AM Author: gold fortuitous meteor same here. the worst part about it is that even though barely studied all summer i didn't go out at all. i felt too guilty.
so basically i wasted 3 months of my life. had no fun. became depressed. failed the bar. |

|
Date: July 11th, 2010 2:08 AM Author: Insane toilet seat locus you already learned all this shit so you know enough to guess your way through at least a third of them. the studying you do above that will be for the intermediate and hard questions. you might only get enough studying done to get the intermediate ones right, but ya know what? that's 2/3 correct, which is enough to pass.

Date: July 16th, 2010 11:01 AM Author: Marvelous aquamarine alpha 1 subject per day? Like one MBE subject? Or 1 MBE + 1 state per day, is that even possible? I only started a week ago and am feeling screwed. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1363613&forum_id=2#15522854) |
|
Date: July 11th, 2010 2:04 AM Author: gold fortuitous meteor I used adderall to stay up for 24 hours and focused on property and nothing else. I got like 75% on the MPQs but I definitely guessed right on some questions.
In other words, even one FULL day per subject isn't enough time for me. I'm a dumb. |

Date: July 11th, 2010 2:06 AM Author: Insane toilet seat locus uh...you only need 60-something% to pass (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1363613&forum_id=2#15470110) |
|
Date: July 11th, 2010 2:07 AM Author: gold fortuitous meteor It's more like 65%-70%. Also, I'm taking VA - the MBE is only worth 40%. I don't know SHIT about the VA essays. I literally forgot everything from law school and I even forgot everything from the first 15-20 lectures this summer.
LOL.

Date: July 11th, 2010 2:10 AM Author: Insane toilet seat locus you need to sleep for your brain to synthesize the information. pulling all nighters is counter-productive.
focus on being productive in the day. spend 2 hours a day going over practice essays from here on out. devote one day to each essay subject. |

Date: July 11th, 2010 1:59 AM Author: umber crackhouse pocket flask i agree w/this and w/the above sentiment that you have 4 months to be mopey. i say you give it your fucking all these next two weeks and at least come out of it w/ some sort of moral victory, knowing that you couldn't do more at the last minute.

i need a drink |
|
Date: July 11th, 2010 1:58 AM Author: Apoplectic Slap-happy Forum do i need to point out AGAIN that i passed the NY bar with less than 10 days of study time?
you have more time than you can possibly realize.
you'll do fine.
my god. you people are such bitches. |
|
Date: July 11th, 2010 2:00 AM Author: vivacious at-the-ready azn shrine I know people can do it, but those people are productive and probably not depressed. It's fucking hard. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1363613&forum_id=2#15470062) |
|
Date: July 11th, 2010 2:03 AM Author: Apoplectic Slap-happy Forum not at all. my original plan was to start studying back in may.
but i just couldn't bring myself to do it due to a post-LS breakup and then i got the flu.
i just quit wanting to try for over two months, at which point i finally decided, goddamn it, i have to give this a shot.
so i added up the pages in my CMR and divided by eight, with one spare day to review before the test. i also reviewed a bit in the hotel the night before.
and i passed. so can you. |

Date: July 11th, 2010 2:00 AM Author: arousing rigpig lol. you know i'm probably not going to study enough because of you? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1363613&forum_id=2#15470065) |

i read it. |

|
Date: July 11th, 2010 2:06 AM Author: Apoplectic Slap-happy Forum see, this is the mistake that people who have not taken the bar tend to make.
you DO NOT NEED to learn EVERYTHING.
you just need to learn enough to scrape over the pass percentages.
that's more or less equivalent to a law school exam C or C-.
but in all fairness, i would not advise others to do what i did if you know for a fact you don't have a great memory. |

|
Date: July 11th, 2010 2:13 AM Author: gold fortuitous meteor Probably averaged out about 3 hours per day since like June 10th. But it's very inconsistent. 0 hours for 3-4 days straight followed by a 18 hours in one day.
|
|
Date: July 11th, 2010 2:23 AM Author: Apoplectic Slap-happy Forum that's not bad, actually.
what you need to do though is try the pleasure/pain model.
eg, masturbate, but only if you pledge a couple hours of study beforehand.
or eat a cake, but pledge an hour per slice. |
|
Date: July 11th, 2010 2:04 AM Author: Insane toilet seat locus ok if you are depressed, here's what you need to do. wake up early. go for a jog or do some pushups or do SOMETHING to get your blood flowing. when it's sunny, go outside for a walk and breathe the fresh air and think about how great it is to be alive.
trust me, these things will improve your mood. if you are depressed, it is making you tired. psyche yourself out of it as best you can before you dig into the books. |
