Failed CAL Bar Now need advice

Sign in to watch this discussion

I wanted to write a post here asking for some advice. This past F19 I took my second bar exam. I did about 85 points better than my last attempt, J19. In July 18 I scored a scaled total of 1339, with 1319 on MBE.
In Feb 19 I scored a scaled total of 1419 with a 1341 on MBE.

The first time around I studied using Themis, watching lecture, etc. felt like it was a complete waste of my time, and performed poorly.
The second time around I self-studied using Themis' essays, AdaptiBar, S & T book, and Critical Pass.

I am kind of at odds on what more I can do to gain these 20 missed points on the next bar exam. My essays are pretty stabilized, however the MBE is just simply too low. So I am wondering if it may be best to join a new program, or self-study and just find a tutor to increase MBE.

Any advice you guys may have will be greatly appreciated. At this point studying for a third-time my confidence is pretty shattered to so its going to be another week until I can get back into this thing.

The old fashion way
70% MBE, 30% attention to MEE and MPT. 1500 MBE questions, make a flash card of every wrong question answer with the correct rule. Drill these rules once a week at least. Problem solved, enjoy.

I highly recommend critical pass mbe flashcards. They are a must for ever bar exam taker.

I have attached a 10% off discount for you + free shipping.

One thing you can control
Drill the law so well you know it so cold that issues pop out at you. Also, only practice under timed conditions. Timing is often a problem on the real thing because people get nervous.

Online grads are too stupid to do that and still pass after doing that, most wont even do it right to begin with. They will blame their job, their kids, their 130 LSAT score, whatever.

I passed the second time just using Adaptibar/BarEssays/Used BarBri books. I think you are doing too much. Stick to practicing essays every day and 50 MBEs every day with these resources.

I have never heard someone blame not passing on their LSAT score. That would be sweet.

Are you really trying to lie to yourself until you believe that there isnt a correlation between lsat score ability and bar exam ability?

Of course there is a correlation. I was merely pointing out that I have never heard a person that just failed say “I didn’t pass because of my low LSAT score.” They do blame other factors, so at least you right about something,

Anyone know how many MBE questions Adapti Bar has? Worth buying? I just bought the cal bar bible materials and they are tremendously helping for the essays, but looking for something to strengthen my MBE game!!
