Review Plan

This time next week I will hopefully be sleeping, because the bar exam will be the following morning. The review plan is going well. I review flashcards for 3-4 hours a day, usually get through 2-3 subjects, and my goal for each day is to do 6 essays and 36 MBE questions, just to stay on track to finish with 10 essay questions per subject and 340 MBE questions per subject. I'm trying to make flashcards a priority, though. I know how to write an essay. I know how to do multiple choice questions. But I still can't always remember what a buyer's remedies are when he receives a nonconforming shipment, and memorizing that stuff is more important than just wasting my time doing questions I can't do.

I took a practice MBE last Friday and scored 59.5%. It was one of BarBri's practice MBEs, and they claim that the average is 58%, so that wasn't bad. But a 67% is about passing on a real MBE. I'm going to do another practice MBE on Thursday with the online MBE that NCBE puts out. http://www.ncbex2.org/catalog/. It's $50 for 200 questions (I don't know why one set of 100 costs $2 more than the other), but I figure it's worth it to practice with real MBE questions. I did 40 Con Law real MBE questions and scored 70% and they seemed easier than both the BarBri and Kaplan ones. There were some answer choices you could immediately identify as bad. But I think it's been good to practice with hard questions.

I'm feeling pretty good about this, but I am glad that I have another week left to study. I'm really not that stressed out about it. I feel like I have a lot of time in the day- I can study for 10-11 hours, work out, maybe sew something or go out. Of course, if I could go to sleep before 1am I would have less time in the day... need to work on that. Can't roll out of bed at 8am for the bar exam!
