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!

@@SwaggyEsq right on! Thanks for linking the channel (working on when I have time). I've already linked this video on my website, so hopefully that helps you get some exposure. I'm also subscribed to you - looking forward to seeing more 🙌🏻

I appreciate the assist on your website & for the sub :) I’ll be tuning into your content here as well! Rooting for you, you have such great material to post on this platform 🙌🏽

Aw thank you for watching! Appreciate your sweet words :)

You’re so welcome! 🤗🙏🏽

You’re so welcome! Glad you’re finding it so helpful ☺️

Will make a video on this soon! Stay tuned 👀

Thanks for the support! Unfortunately I don’t have my scores anymore since I studied back in 2019 and don’t have my adaptibar membership anymore 😪 but I can recall by the end of bar prep my average score was around 70%~ or so.

This was for an average of 4-5k questions total by the end of bar prep

You got it! 😊🙏🏽

@@SwaggyEsq Hi, Denise! I watched this video during 3L, and now I am watching it again during the bar prep. Super informative & I'll remember every word you said in this video. Thanks again ◡̈

Hi there! Thanks for the support and appreciate that kind note. Perfect, will shoot you a copy of my detailed schedule shortly! 🙏🏽

Glad to hear you’re finding our content valuable! I’m still in the process of mapping out some resources (like outlines) that I’ll be selling in the future. Stay tuned 🙂

❤️❤️❤️

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.

@@SwaggyEsq that is so true!!!!!!

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?

@@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) 😉

If I recall, it was around 2-3L I believe? I can’t exactly remember but around the time they started having us take more bar prep focused electives.

❤️😁

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.

@@SwaggyEsq again - just "sample" answers that passed - they're never "model".

Look online for different MBE questions. Or buy a bar prep course.

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.
