BarBri Simulated MBE review
Poast new message in this thread
Date: July 7th, 2005 11:01 PM Author: glittery pearl psychic base Has anyone gone to the BarBri Simulated MBE review (the two days after the practice test is given where they go over each question)? Did you think it was worth it or would I be better off just reviewing them on my own? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=214492&forum_id=2#3220056) |

I'm too lazy to google. |

Date: July 7th, 2005 11:05 PM Author: glittery pearl psychic base It is a bar review course. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=214492&forum_id=2#3220105) |

Date: July 7th, 2005 11:03 PM Author: claret trailer park I didn't go for the sole reason that roughly 75% of it would be worthless based on my raw score. If you missed a lot, and the explanations in the back don't help you, then attend the review. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=214492&forum_id=2#3220073) |

Date: July 7th, 2005 11:11 PM Author: fragrant glassy parlour gaming laptop Don't bother. I decided that I could spend the time on my own reviewing the stuff *I* struggled with. I'm really good with mortgages, which they probably spend a ton of time on. But, I suck at some simple shit like false imprisonment which they probably gloss over.

|
Date: July 7th, 2005 11:14 PM Author: glittery pearl psychic base That's what I thought. I want to focus on my problem areas and not waste my time on the other stuff. I just feel like I will miss out on something by not going. I guess I just need to get over that. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=214492&forum_id=2#3220201) |

Date: July 8th, 2005 12:54 AM Author: pearly headpube box office Subject: i thought it was helpful i did fairly well on the practice test (144), but i thought the barbri people actually did a good job of hitting the stupid little rules that show up on every exam that i wouldn't learn otherwise.
plus, it was good to get me out of bed and learning. otherwise, i would have just slept all day like i have been. if you would be doing something very valuable with your time otherwise, maybe skip it. but otherwise, why not just go. |

Date: July 7th, 2005 11:31 PM Author: Charismatic stain I thought it was rather helpful, but apparently there were a lot that didn't (I assume about 30% didn't show up for the second day, maybe more). You can always go for the beginning and then leave if you don't find it useful. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=214492&forum_id=2#3220356) |

Date: July 7th, 2005 11:47 PM Author: glittery pearl psychic base Did you do well on the simulated? On most of the ones that I got wrong, I had narrowed the answer down to two and then chose the wrong one of the two.
I actually have the CDs because I am doing self study, so it is rather easy to do just that. It is just hard to sit through that long of a lecture. |
|
Date: July 7th, 2005 11:59 PM Author: Charismatic stain Got a 164, so I would say that I did pretty solid. It was not like the review gave me any great revelations, but I would say that it probably was worth a few questions. Basically, it was more about strategy than about the law itself. Since you have the CDs, it probably could not hurt to hit the play button and listen for a bit. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=214492&forum_id=2#3220658) |

Date: July 8th, 2005 12:28 AM Author: fragrant glassy parlour gaming laptop I'm doing selfstudy, but didn't get the CDs for this. Are you sure you hav them? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=214492&forum_id=2#3220994) |

Date: July 8th, 2005 12:45 AM Author: glittery pearl psychic base Positive. They were sent to me last week along with my scantron sheet and the mbe simulated book. Maybe different states do it differently. I am taking IL. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=214492&forum_id=2#3221234) |

Date: July 8th, 2005 12:46 AM Author: fragrant glassy parlour gaming laptop I just got a scantron and a pass. The MBE book came with my original materials. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=214492&forum_id=2#3221251) |

Date: July 7th, 2005 11:49 PM Author: Fluffy sadistic hissy fit blood rage i have a friend who took this simulated test (yes friend, i'm still in LS) and she got a raw score of 107, is she fucked? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=214492&forum_id=2#3220533) |
|
Date: July 7th, 2005 11:52 PM Author: glittery pearl psychic base I just took it today, and we were told that at this point, we should be scoring between 110-115 raw. However, I believe the average raw score is around 106 (some people took it over a week ago, so their scores were lower). If she keeps studying and taking practice exams, she should do alright.

Date: July 7th, 2005 11:52 PM Author: Fluffy sadistic hissy fit blood rage cool, i'll let her know....she was freaking out (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=214492&forum_id=2#3220566) |
|
Date: July 7th, 2005 11:56 PM Author: glittery pearl psychic base However, it also depends on what state she is taking. For CA, she would probably need to do quite a bit of work, while in Utah, she would be just fine. Just tell her to do more practice questions AND read the explanations for the answers.

|
Date: July 8th, 2005 12:27 AM Author: glittery pearl psychic base I just looked up Arizona's scoring for the bar and the MBE only counts for 1/3 of the score in AZ and the essays count for 2/3. In quite a few states the MBE counts for 1/2 of the grade. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=214492&forum_id=2#3220983) |

Date: July 8th, 2005 12:28 AM Author: Fluffy sadistic hissy fit blood rage oh really? Do you have a link to this (i'm curious about CA and IL as well) (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=214492&forum_id=2#3220995) |
|
Date: July 8th, 2005 12:39 AM Author: Silver Marvelous Telephone It counts for 35% of the total score in CA (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=214492&forum_id=2#3221135) |
|
Date: July 8th, 2005 12:39 AM Author: glittery pearl psychic base I'm taking IL. The MBE is worth 50%, the essays 43%, and the MPT (multistate performance test) 7%.
choose the state you are interested in from the drop down menu. then click on "grading and results" on the right side. |

Date: July 8th, 2005 12:56 AM Author: Fluffy sadistic hissy fit blood rage thanks
i heard if we do well enough on MC in IL, they won't put much weight on the essays....have you heard this? |
|
Date: July 8th, 2005 1:06 AM Author: glittery pearl psychic base i heard that too, but i have no idea if it's true and what "well enough" would equate to. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=214492&forum_id=2#3221527) |
