How were the civ pro questions in February? Haven't really found anyone that can shed light on that yet. Easier than adaptibar? Harder than Barbri--which are pretty easy?
Feb totally different than Adaptibar. Real ones are very much in line with evidence, in that the fact patterns and answer choices are short and brief. I see the Adaptibar bar ones and they are a fricken manifesto, my clock just whizzes away as I read all of them. I gave up at 51% tried again and shot down to 48%. Honestly I did all 6 sets of Civ Pro for BarBri and didn't feel so stupid. So I'd say slightly above BarBri. It helps on the real thing to diagram in the MBE booklet when you have parties from various states.
gagoots, how would you say the difficulty of Adaptibar questions are relative to the actual exam? Have you found Adaptibar significantly easier?

The FU$#%#ING Adaptibar Civ Pro questions are insane. Walls of text that are hard to follow, filled with typographical errors, and wildly unfair answer choices. The "Student Responses" prove that I'm not alone in getting duped time after time by an attractive answer choice (I just missed a Q where 65% of other students picked, too) and it's pissing me off!

Should I just skip/pass on Civ Pro questions in this final weekend, read outlines and review flash cards and cross my fingers?

I found them very similar. You are not at all surprised, like the MPRE.

I'm embarrassed to share how many Adaptibar questions I've done but I know I've done enough to see 3-4 different questions reworded to ask the same thing. That is what happens on the real MBE so you won't feel blindsided. The real one has some gimmies and they help you combat the long ones in RP or contracts.

As for the OPM exams those gave me a major false sense of confidence, I scored in the high 80's and a 90 and I flew threw those in an hour and a half. The real one has a good mix of easy, or "oh yeah I read that case in contracts" to "what the hell". You no longer see the ones with Roman numerals (god I hate those) or the one that asks which case..hate those too.

Hope that helps and doesn't violate some Chapter 6 violation they drone on and on about each morning
im sorry, OPM?

Sorry that should be OPE, online practice exams. I do a lot of Federal Pension divisions and use OPM a lot when drafting the language. It's kind of stuck in my head.
well, the last 500 questions for me have been in the 70s. I havent done an actual full exam. Think I'm OK?

Just got 73% in the 2013 practice exam.
I really found that by far the most difficult of all the tests.

I think they're really all about the same. My score were all within 3-/+ for all 4. It definitely was worded slightly differently, but the same difficulty.

That is essentially my plan. I have a long and a short outline for Civ Pro, and I plan to read each through once before the test.I only did 50 or so adaptibar civ pro q's becuase they are just ridiculous.

It is what it is.

I think i'm going to tap out of Adaptibar after today. I did a final 30 question custom exam, and scored 83%. Without Civ Pro of course.

So long Adaptibar, it's been fun.

Hey, sorry to revive a really old thread, but I'm retaking in Feb (failed NY by 10 in July... Ugh) and the MBE was definitely my achilles heel the first go around (126). I'd like to know what people thought about this after most states have gotten results back.

Thanks in advance!

I took once without adaptibar using just themis and did horribly on MBE, then took adaptibar and scored very solid above average AND felt a lot more comfy on the MBE. It really made a difference. The app is great, the statistics are great, the comparison in your score to people in your state and the country in general is helpful, and most of all, you're getting real questions.

The $50 codes in this topic are not valid anymore. I just signed up for Adaptibar and I have a valid code. PM me your email and I'll refer you for the $30 discount valid for 2017. Good luck!

Has anyone that has taken the February bar exam feel as though Adaptibar represented? And, if you wouldn't mind sharing what you were testing at before going into the exam. Thank you

I felt like it helped but now that I have my scores I don't think it helped much at all. My MBE went up from 117 to 119.6...yeah.

I felt that Adaptibar helped but only after I started thoroughly reviewing the answers (both the questions that I got right and wrong). I also utilized the score analysis that showed how I was doing in each subtopic. That analysis really helped me focusing my studying.

Thanks for the feedback. I might just redo the BarBri questions and buy the Emmanuels book for $75 and call it a day then.

Not sure how I did on the feb MbE yet, but I scored 92/200 on the BarBri midterm. Improved slightly after that and scored above 60% for Civ pro and property but weaker in other subjects.
