Title says it all. If we have that, you'll hear my cries.

i’ve heard all the things of the average person passes and that we just need to not fail, but can someone tell me exactly what it takes to pass? aka how badly do u have to mess up to not pass

might be a dumb question but im spiraling -- is there anything else we have to do to register our laptop other than

1. download examplify

2. complete the mock exam, and

3. receive two confirmation emails that the mock exam file has been successfully uploaded (one from [email protected] and the other from [email protected])?

I redownloaded examsoft bc I bought another laptop. I received this email. Already took again the mock exam and my two written exams are downloaded for the exam day.

Im know confused because of this part of the email. Question, are we supposed to be given passwords to open each written session at the session by a proctor? Or should I retrieve the password from somewhere else?

Not counting my overall stats for MBE % in Adaptibar but taking a look at my daily, if I can consistently range between 60-70% is that good?

Reason I’m not counting my overall stats is because I haven’t done that many questions. I got Adaptibar late and didn’t know about it until late :( but just want to get an idea that IF I’m looking at my daily questions and stats and I’m scoring 60-70% can it be indicative of how I might pass MBE on exam day?

Hello everyone!

I wanted to get your recommendations for reviewing over the last few days before the exam. I have the Mary Basick essay book, Themis final review outlines, Themis essay roadmaps, and the Magic Sheets.

For those who've used them, which would you prioritize before test day? I'm having a hard time deciding where to focus my time.

Thanks in advance, and best of luck to everyone on the bar!

I’m read somewhere that an objective memo is due for testing but what do you all think the topic will be?

I really hope it’s contracts 🙏

Getting super anxious as the exam gets closer! Just wanted to double-check: during the essay and PT portions, do we get physical paper question booklets to read from, or do we have to read the prompts on the Exemplify screen?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Less than 1 week out and I can feel myself slipping. I know that now more than ever I need to lock in because I’m super under memorized but I feel burnt out, any advice?

I have a really strong feeling that we are going to get a crossover essay. Maybe torts & remedies

I've realized my biggest PT weakness isn't the law, it's organization

I keep taking notes by case/rule as I read the Library instead of organizing everything by issue...

Then when I start writing, I'm constantly flipping back and forth between the File and Library trying to figure out where everything belongs. I end up leaving good arguments out and making dumb factual mistakes.

For anyone that does not have PT in the red/yellow zone: Do you outline before writing? If so, how? Do you read the Library first or the File first? How do you quickly turn the authorities into issue headings instead of case summaries?

I really don't have this problem with Essays, for example. Even though I don't remember half of the blackletter rules, I find myself a way to address the issues in the fact patterns somewhat organized. I need something that clicks me. Any advise?

Are we cooked?

Praying we don’t get a Real Property Essay

Above. Former takers, does the adrenaline rush help you recall? Obviously things we’ve studied but can’t for the life us seem to recall.

In general, what is the effect of adrenaline?

Hi, silly question. I noticed that when I took the simulated MBE I was experiencing neck pain. Does anyone have any tips on how to manage neck pain besides taking Tylenol before the exam? Thank you!

What is the plan of attack for most people? PT first then the two essays?

Are we….are we actually learning CA civ pro distinctions are we winging it because like……I don’t think my brain can handle more information. CA Evidence has been difficult enough and I barely have a handful of those distinctions down. What’s the consensus?

I understand when to use/bring up DCC, but I am getting so confused regarding the test applied for facially-discriminatory regulations and those that are facially-neutral with a discriminatory effect or purpose. From my understanding, facial discrimination is subject to strict scrutiny (important gov. interest with no alternative means) and facially neutral is subject to the unduly burdensome test (benefit of the state > burden on commerce). Is this correct or am I combining facially neutral with unduly burdensome when they should be two distinct concepts? 

I’ve taken 10 full CPTs over the course of the summer. I’ve only finished *one* within 90 minutes. All others have been an avg of 15 mins over time. Worst one was 30 mins over. No matter how much I practice, change up my technique, or read Mary Basick’s book, nothing seems to actually change when I sit down to answer damn question.

My question is: How worried should I be at this point about needing so much extra time to finish the CPT? And is it even worth trying to practice any more at this point?

I’ve seen people say “oh, taking extra time on the CPT is fine, just write your next essays in 45 mins!” Bold of you to assume I can write even a normal essay that quickly. I can reliably finish every essay topic (except maybe the beefier Con Law & Crim Pro ones) in 60 mins. But 45? I’d miss analysis for sure. But maybe it’s worth losing points on the essays if I nail the CPT?

Idk, please help me decide whether I need to practice CPT more 😭 if I go 30 mins over on the actual bar, I think I’ll cry and just log off.

Anyone has Jay’s predictions for July 2026 from personal bar prep?

I have been studying since February of this year, but I'm still not sure if I'm ready for this exam. I have studied as hard as I possibly could, taking into account my circumstances: English is not my first language, I did not attend law school in the US, I worked FT for much of my preparation, I have two young children, and I am currently caring for my mother. I truly believe I would be in a much better position to take the exam in February 2027. At the same time, I can't tell whether this is just procrastination and fear speaking, or whether it's a genuine gut feeling that I should trust... Any thoughts?

Thank you

Edit: also if there’s a list of the Civ Pro essays with CA distinctions that would be clutch
