Hi Brian! Really appreciate you reaching out here. I wanted to tag you originally in the video but I couldn’t find your handle so I’ll add your YT up in the description. I took the bar back in July ‘19 and MagicSheets was key to creating my own essay templates and overall review. Appreciate your hard work and what you do for bar prep students! Hope we can connect sometime! And thanks for the kind words about the channel :) still growing!

Hi there! I am literally confused about the book "strategies and tactics for the MBE and strategies and tactics for the MBE 2". can you please tell me what is the difference between these and which one should I buy? I appreciate you for all the videos and information.

Aw no I didn’t know they made this change! Well the bright side is that now you can just type the rule statements into your notes then and can use this as practice to get used to typing out the rules.

Awesome video. Did you think use of a commercial bar prep company is a smart move?
@SwaggyEsq9 ай бұрын
Hi there! I think for most first time takers it makes sense to use a commercial bar prep company. Usually you can get a pretty good discount too if you were a law school rep for their company. I’d say that would likely be the most cost effective way as opposed to paying around $5-8k for a tutor. Personally, commercial bar prep didn’t work for me but I think it was mainly because the strategies I used weren’t conducive to the way I learned. I needed more practical advice and how to execute schemas to pass the test. I found getting a tutor the 2nd time around helped me to pass. Best of luck!! 🤞🏽

@@SwaggyEsq thank you for the reply. Do you have a tutor that you recommend?
@SwaggyEsq9 ай бұрын
@@jasonrastegar8150 unfortunately, the tutor I used doesn't offer his services anymore and went back to practicing law. I'm currently trying to source around other bar prep tutors so I can at least refer students their way. I'll have to keep you posted! But I'd suggest trying to find a local tutor that you can meet up with at least a couple of times in person during the bar prep season. It's nice to have an in-person experience. I have a whole video giving advice on whether or not you should invest into a bar prep tutor. Hope this will give you more context :) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rrB8dcV5ps3HlYk.htmlsi=qCjlxddBb6cSME8s

Thanks so much! I actually did the PT first before essays 4+5. But I did read the call of Q for Essays 4+5 first to just prime my brain and see what the essay subjects/topics were. I really wanted to make sure I completed the PT in full since it's worth 2 essay scores (pro tip) 😉

None of these selected answers are presented as a perfect answer - they are, however, generally "good enough" to pass. That's all. None are model answers.

Agreed. The model answers are certainly more of a starting point to see what graders are looking for in terms of issue spotting. It's not meant to be the "perfect" answer.

Hi Denise, I have done hundreds of Adaptibar over and over, and it is now becoming more of a memory answer rather than review questions. What I mean is that whenever read the MBE question, I already know the answer because I memorized it. What shall I do? What is your email address? Could I email you for more questions? Thank you very much.

I have thr same problem with the CalBar essays. I have seen some of them 3 or 4 times. Yes I can do the same ones over and over again, but that is mega-boring. Calweasel has older essays. And the law library should have all the old questions, back to year zero.
