JD28 wrote:Hey guys, so I am studying for the Feb 2018 bar exam and I purchased the MEE "one-sheets" from JD Advising. I like the bar related articles they post and the one-sheets seemed like a beneficial study aid so I decided to make the investment. I just received my one-sheet booklet and slipped inside the front page is the terms and conditions, one of which states "I further agree that... there are no warranties as to the accuracy of the information presented herein." Am I being paranoid to feel uneasy about that term? I understand that any condensed bar prep aid can't promise that all of the their included rules will actually show up on the bar exam, but I definitely think that a study aid should promise that the information they are providing is ACCURATE... opinions? Thanks!!

Use them only to hone in on what is important. I have found incorrect statements of law, which the seminar booklet repeats. There are numerous spelling errors, which is inexcusable given the cost of these products.

Use SmartBarPrep’s short outline for the basics and the long outline for the important rules.

For what it's worth, I used Studicata's 3-step system for my prep and it totally saved my bacon.

It combines what is good from both the one-sheets and SBP. Their attack outline with rule-frequency also correctly predicted the topics for the July 2017 MEE, but presented the material in such an easy to read and color-coded format that absorbing the info was really straightforward.

With the attack outline combined with the summaries included in the 3-step system, i was able to memorize the rules I really needed to know for my essay prep. As to stretching my dollar, the flashcard app + the thorough attack outline + the condensed summaries i couldn't find a bigger bang for my buck after shelling out for my full course..



hope this helps! Good luck everyone.

Thank you.
Did you read the Studica/SBP long outlines too? I wonder what will be the best way to study for the MEE portion consuming the time left.

Thank you for your inputs.
you are totally right about not overload my self at this point. I actually prefer Studicata’s short outlines over One Sheet because I feel like they are a great tool for review as well.
I think I will read the attack outlines for the MEE subjects and the summarize for the MBE subject since I already have a good outlines for those but I have a very little knowledge regarding the MEE subjects.

I looked at SBP free sample in comparison with the Studicata Attack Outline sample. The studicata longer outline looked more appealing to me, so i went with that. Also, i purchased the materials a week out from the exam and was able to get through the whole thing with plenty of time and it gave me the confidence boost i needed to carry me through to exam day.

I will echo what ubebarstudying was saying though and you don't want to overload yourself too much. But if you are feeling hesitant and not very confident with where you are at in your preparation, then i would grab an outline for that peace of mind. That's what personally prompted my purchase because i did not have my own condensed outline and wanted a pre-made outline that i could reference, not worry about having to build one myself and then i could simply focus on last minute memorization to bolster my "weak" areas down the home stretch.

Good luck - you got this!

I agree.
I also found some incorrect statements of law in their One Sheet.
Considering the price tag, I would expect the material to be totally accurate.

Hello, I wanted to clarify that all of the law in our MEE One-Sheets and Seminar booklet is directly taken from prior MEEs released by the NCBE. If you can let us know which statement you believe is incorrect, we can direct you to the MEE that it was taken from. Thank you!

I think everyone appreciates your watchfulness and proactive nature to keep your product top of the line but I don't know that I would recommend people take breaks at this point to um inform you of said possible errors. Maybe a PM or redirecting to the bar exam discount code topic for supplements would be the best place. But hey, in my opinion you have less to worry about than lean sheets.

Hey I just happened to be looking at the OneSheets right now and I don't see that anywhere. I see something that says written notice of meetings is required 10-60 days prior to the meeting. That's the RMBCA. The bylaws are different for every corporation. I think you're conflating the notice requirement with the record date requirement. The record date must be 10-70 days before a shareholder meeting (again, unless the corporation bylaws say differently).

The OneSheets aren't clear on whether the notice requirement is for annual or special meetings, but it's both.

Hope this helps.

You are right about the record date.
The notice requirement is for special meetings, as the bylaws usually state when the annual meetings are to be held.
