However this is my last attempt. I have been actively studying for 2 weeks ( I tried working and studying, didn't really pan out like I planned. Girl needs monies to survive) Anyway. My issues for failing aren't that I don't know the law in regards to essays. I have consistently scored passing scores. I usually do okay by just memorizing the last week before the exam. The hardest part for me are mbes. In the past I have done thousands and failed. SO far this time I have taken the time to go deep into the substantive law and really go through the Emanauals strategies and tactics book and read every single wrong and right answer. However I am only getting around 62-69 % and the 69% is only when I remember the answer. To pass I know I need to be aiming for ATLEAST 75-80% IN PRACTICE EXAMS.
Does anyone have any tips that will help me in the next few days to get that last jump I need for mbes? As I need to also start focusing on issue spotting and memorization for essays in the remaining days ahead as well.
anything will help. I want to give it my all this last time and pray for the best.
barexamguru website, suggests now that the written is worth 50, as the mbe, in order to be in a safe range to pass we should be aiming for 75-80. I thought that was a crazy high amount but honestly I believe it ( for me at least considering all the factors that go into actual exam day). I score 65% on mbe practice exams before the bar exam both times I took it and still bombed the mbe. Literally BOMBED IT. My scaled mbe score on the last one was 1248 or so. Passing essays and PT didn't help make up for the MBE
I didn't read the website but I think that's terrible advice. Instead of focusing on a percentage at this point I would direct my attention to my weakest weakest MBE subjects. It's even better if you can pinpoint the individual sub-topics within a subject to improve upon. In other words, instead of reviewing over "property" because it's tough maybe you could focus your attention on mortgages. If I were you I'd take this approach for each of the topics.
And I recommend practice and meditation haha if you're having time or anxiety issues during the MBE.
