Hi Denise, this is Brian from Make This Your Last Time. Great video! I heard about you from a new subscriber and wanted to drop by to thank you. Appreciate you mentioning Magicsheets. I'm happy to hear you've found them helpful for your bar prep. Keep up the great work (love the pro quality of these videos)!
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!

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 ◡̈
Your video is so logical, realistic and inviting. I really need your help on pt. Foreign att here and it looks a labyrinth to me.
How long should we take to Start timing ourselves under exam conditions? A month or two before the exams? Thanks for this great video
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.
Hey great content, thank you for sharing your vast knowledge! I emailed you regarding the pdf schedule! Thanks in advance!
Hi there! Thanks for the support and appreciate that kind note. Perfect, will shoot you a copy of my detailed schedule shortly! 🙏🏽
Please make a video on how to handle PT exam documents. Did you separate them by memo, caselaws etc? Clipped them together for easy access?
Will make a video on this soon! Stay tuned 👀
This is a great content. Will you be able to share your Microsoft note essay outline? Thank you very much!
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 🙂
I can’t agree more, thanks for sharing. Do you mind sharing your adaptibar scores throughout the preparation?
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
Did you not take a big bar prep?
One of my profs says at least 3500 MBEs. The more the better.
I like ur channel
❤️😁
This is another great video. Did you do the performance test first and then essays 4 and 5 or did you go in order?
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) 😉
you cant copy and paste anymore from Adaptibar 😢
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!!!!!!
Awesome video.
Did you think use of a commercial bar prep company is a smart move?
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 :)

At what point in law school did you get AdaptiBar?
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.
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.
@@SwaggyEsq again - just "sample" answers that passed - they're never "model".
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.
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.
