Is it better to memorize from CMR or lecture hand outs or combine both? |

Date: July 2nd, 2012 6:22 PM Author: Orange Vivacious Tanning Salon not even close as in.. not even in close in comparison like CMR is hands-down a necessity? as in not a "too close to call" situation? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1984850&forum_id=2#21004325) |

Date: July 2nd, 2012 6:24 PM Author: deep chad mediation there's a reason people only score 60% after sitting through MBE lectures. it's not giving you 40% of the shit you need to know. all of that is in the CMR. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1984850&forum_id=2#21004333) |

Date: July 2nd, 2012 7:24 PM Author: Orange Vivacious Tanning Salon so you are saying that people score 60% because of handouts? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1984850&forum_id=2#21004653) |
|
Date: July 2nd, 2012 7:28 PM Author: Disturbing jewess i don't think he's saying that
if you knew the material in the lecture handout cold you would score more than 60%
the problem is you probably only retain 70% of what's in teh lecture handout |

Date: July 2nd, 2012 6:27 PM Author: Disturbing jewess this isn't totally true
the lectures give you 80% of what you need, the other 20% you pick up in doing practice questions
there is no reason you need to read the CMR cover to cover if you're doing lectures + practice Qs |
|
Date: July 2nd, 2012 6:29 PM Author: Orange Vivacious Tanning Salon I took NY and relied on lecture handouts (passed).
But for CA, one of my friends who took July 2011 and passed. But he relied on CMR only.
I am thinking of combining both CMR+Lecture handouts |

|
Date: July 2nd, 2012 6:38 PM Author: swashbuckling theater stage this is what i'm doing.
i was getting ~70% on MBE Qs cold, so lectures seemed useless.
state subjects are totally foreign to me though so lectures have been useful. |

Date: July 2nd, 2012 6:39 PM Author: Disturbing jewess if you are getting 70% mbe cold you should stop studying that now and switch to state
not flame |

Date: July 2nd, 2012 7:14 PM Author: swashbuckling theater stage i basically did.
i took every bar course in law school so this shit's been pretty easy so far.
i am still gonna do a ton of MBE review Qs though just to make sure. the state stuff honestly looks harder. |

Date: July 2nd, 2012 7:17 PM Author: Thriller henna electric furnace laser beams for ca, lecture notes + sample essay answers. CMR for stuff that doesn't stick
sample answers should be your bible, especially the ones for more recent exams. even the lecture notes are misleading about what actually gets tested the most. |
|
Date: July 2nd, 2012 7:19 PM Author: twinkling apoplectic nursing home the whole point of doing the lectures is that they help you remember what actually gets tested consistently. the CMR is comprehensive, but good luck remembering shit after you read the CMR! it's like reading the fucking phonebook: so boring (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1984850&forum_id=2#21004629) |

Date: July 2nd, 2012 7:21 PM Author: deep chad mediation but don't those *STOPSIGN* CMR EXAM TIPS wake you up?
wouldn't reading the long outline be more interesting? isn't it exactly the same as the CMR but with hypos thrown in here and there? |
