out of 8 or so graded essays i have one 5, one 4, rest are 2s and 3s

scored 120/200 on simulated mbe

usually right around the 'goals' for the mbe drills

i don't know what those essays are graded out of but you seem to be right in the sweet spot. the goal is not to get the highest score.

i believe 120/200 would fail on the real thing

BarBri grading is total and complete flame. The fact that you actually got a 5 on one of those things blows my mind; I and the vast majority of people I know were getting 1s and 2s until we gave up and stopped turning them in. All of us passed.

My advice is to not look at the grades, but the actual comments they made, because that will tell you whether or not it's flame. Someone in a thread last year said they got an essay back with comments like, "Make sure to state the issue, that's worth points," and the very first sentence of the paragraph was, "The first issue is [blah blah blah]".

essay grading is complete flame, people submit the model answers all the time and get 2s and 3s

the average on the simulated MBE is 105, so if you got 120 you are significantly above average

calm the fuck down

you're totally fine.

with barbri you're not paying for the classes or materials. you're basically paying $3000 to have them SCARE THE SHIT OUT OF YOU by lying and telling you that you're far less prepared than you actually are. you could study 4 hours a day from here on out and be totally fine, regardless of what barbri says. TRUST ME (but you won't, that's how it goes...barbri is good at being scary)
