Today was okay until 4 p.m. and on. I did the Barbri MBE's for Con Law as per the paced program, and missed the vast majority of them. This was after writing two Con Law essays, handwriting outlines with rules statements to 6 Con law essays, and going over my cheat sheet and notes.
What is going on!?
I feel so hopeless about all of this right now. Trying to remember to not "fall into a puddle on the floor." I think I might just throw Con Law out the window and give up on it. I just cannot memorize this stuff. In particular, all of the intricacies where you need the least restrictive means, or the burden on commerce cannot outweigh the benefit to the state, or when to bring in the public and non public forum crap. It's all jumbled in my brain and I cannot manage to unjumble it in order to apply it.
I'm considering doing a 100 question past MBE rather than the Barbri MBE tomorrow -- Barbri wants us to do their final test, but I am so mad at Barbri's questions that I am not sure I will be able to do them without slitting my wrists.
If it were up to Barbri, I would absolutely fail the bar exam, in spite of all the work that I have done. Thankfully, Barbri has no say.
Still...I think I might fail just based on the MBE portion alone. Why can I not manage greater than 55% on these tests??? What is going on!
Con law has been by far my worst MBE topic. I did 33 con law questions yesterday and got a 43%. And it's not like I feel stumped when I'm answering them either. Ha. It's just so intricate of a subject.
ReplyDeleteAs for Barbri's final MBE, I did it last week and got 55 out of 100 correct. And Barbri says that's average. I guess we just have to rely on the fact that they keep saying their questions are a bit harder than the real MBE?
At this point, I'm basically saying "screw you con law" and focusing my attention on other MBE rules that I'm weak on but that are easier to understand then the damn first amendment.
Glad to hear you are similarly struggling with Con Law.
ReplyDeleteI just cannot stop thinking about how I could fail the bar because of my MBE score. Scary thought.
