Barbri: consistently getting 75% right. Am I good?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: July 14th, 2012 5:04 PM Author: Racy coiffed psychic depressive So, I've been getting about 3/4 of my question right on the barbri mpe - have been at this clip for the past week (did a shit ton of them). So, given that barbri is noticiable harder than the real thing, am I good to just move on to the essays?
Also, it is relevant that I am in NY so there is an insane amount of law thats needed for the essays. |

Date: July 14th, 2012 5:27 PM Author: Deranged casino idea he suggested You'll probably get better jokes before you get real guidance and wisdom. Perhaps moar accurately, you might get such wisdom, but you'll have to possess the discernment to pick it out of the muck.

Date: July 14th, 2012 5:45 PM Author: Racy coiffed psychic depressive I've done essays, they just have not been my focus. The goal all along has been to nail the mbe subjects, as they still make up the bulk of the NY.
Also worth noting:
graduated from a legit, ABA accredited school law school in NY Did barbri am white
given those stats I am something like 95% likely to pass. |
|
Date: July 14th, 2012 6:01 PM Author: Motley Nursing Home Immigrant ok bro, why don't you just not study the essays and see how far your whiteness gets you
what's the pt of studying mbe more? get up to 80%? that won't make a big difference in your scaled and it's unlikely to happen anyways. diminishing returns. |

Date: July 14th, 2012 11:06 PM Author: Racy coiffed psychic depressive 86% pass rates for first time ny takers from aba schools in 2011. The leaves 14% that flunk. there is a diproportianate number of esl students in ny law schools - they drag down the number. Then you have aa students who attend t4 schools that they are not even qualifed for - they also drag down the number. My point is that it is exremely rare for a white, t1 aba, barbri, ny student to fail.
I would expect a power bottom like yourself to understand this. no? |

also NYMC is 3x harder than MBE |

Date: July 14th, 2012 6:03 PM Author: Racy coiffed psychic depressive bro, NYMC is only worth 10%, the essays, which are much easier are worth 40%. Sweating NYMC is for asian gunners.
Gotta grab that low hanging fruit my friend. |

|
Date: July 14th, 2012 6:17 PM Author: Racy coiffed psychic depressive For me I find the essays easier. The reason is that I find less twists and bullshit in the essays. The mbe, specifically barbri, throws so many red herrings in there that it gets annoying and time consuming to shift through the bs. with essays, issue spotting and a competent outline is enough to grab the points you need. if you put down bll that should be enough to get your 5 points right there.

Date: July 14th, 2012 7:19 PM Author: Stubborn Red Gaming Laptop Love Of Her Life I find the barbri essays to be rape-tastic. Maybe because many essay answers come from the CMR, not lectures. I haven't touched the CMR. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1994042&forum_id=2#21087271) |

75% MBE + essays being easy = you'll be one of the highest scorer on the bar |

if you can get to a point where 3/4 on the essay passes you are golden. |

Date: July 14th, 2012 9:24 PM Author: Racy coiffed psychic depressive What percentages are you guys at? To be honest, I am a bit surprised that 75% is considered that good (i studied my ass off though). Are most people at 50%, 60%, on the barbri mc?
