Themis or Barbri (firm's paying)?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: May 1st, 2012 2:17 PM Author: ivory orchestra pit pervert I'm going to be studying for the NY bar after work, so I want to minimize the amount of time I have to spend studying. As indicated, my firm's paying for bar review so cost isn't an issue. Anyone have any experience with Themis?
PS: If I do use barbri, I'm not going to go to their class, so that's irrelevant.
PSS: My girlfriend's already signed up for barbri, so I (think) I'll have access to their books. |

Date: May 1st, 2012 2:27 PM Author: ivory orchestra pit pervert I've read the old threads about Themis, but didn't see any explanations as to why it's better when price isn't accounted for. Any experience with it? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1937679&forum_id=2#20589631) |

Date: May 1st, 2012 2:42 PM Author: Vivacious puppy idiot no. but I bought it instead of bar bri. mainly to save $$$, but I also think its probably better. my attentions span is SPS and themis breaks everything down into 20 minute chunks. I doubt the quality is worse then bar bri...its the same people/same material. I'd COP DAT THEMIS BREH. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1937679&forum_id=2#20589735) |

Date: May 1st, 2012 3:59 PM Author: ivory orchestra pit pervert This is helpful, thanks. My attention is span is ok, but I'm assuming this material will be insanely boring and 20 minute chunks would be helpful. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1937679&forum_id=2#20590313) |

Date: May 1st, 2012 3:41 PM Author: Vivacious puppy idiot it just angers me breh. law students are just such dumb faggot pussies. I decided to do themis (even though firm was paying) because I thought it was better. can't tell you how many faggot law students were like "ohhhhh, that was stupid man, you should just play it safe, dont want to fail the bar!" its just bling, risk averse faggots following the heard, doing what everyone else does.
thats why Im mad breh |

Date: May 1st, 2012 5:38 PM Author: rambunctious newt the written material is not nearly as good as the books you get from BARBRI which contain comprehensive past exams and practice questions. Themis never bought the rights to that shit. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1937679&forum_id=2#20591067) |

breh, the themis bros are all former bar bri bros who broke away because they realized bar bri is faggot. bar prep is not rocket science. its all essentially the same, so its hard to fuck up or "water down." the only reason bar bri gets away with charging their extortionate rates is because of FAGGOTS LIKE YOU. themis is totally sufficient to pass the bar. |

Date: May 1st, 2012 3:55 PM Author: ivory orchestra pit pervert Any reason why barbri might be better outside of the fact that everyone does it?Almost everyone takes Kaplan's LSAT prep too, but it's SPS. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1937679&forum_id=2#20590281) |

|
Date: May 1st, 2012 4:52 PM Author: Exhilarant Institution I kind of assumed that. I would still do Themis to stick it to the man. In this instance "the man" is Bar Bri with their bullshit slogans like "Why Risk It?" (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1937679&forum_id=2#20590677) |
