Essay Mania / MBE Problems

I cannot believe this is almost over.  I have so much work to do!

I just counted the number of essays I have written out and reviewed - I'm at 23.  I'm not sure if that is the number everyone is supposed to be at or not - it appears sometimes I skipped essays (only wrote 1 where I was instructed to write 2, etc.)  There are three subjects I have zero essays written out; 2 of those subjects I should have essays for (and for one, I know I wrote 2 essays and for some reason they are absent from my computer).  Scary.  Over the weekend, I am going to try and write one essay for each area where I only have one or none.

Secondly...my MBE scores were really weak.  However, for some reason, I've suddenly picked more information up or gotten smarter at answering, because I am now getting consistently 80% or better.  I'm now working through the MPQ2, which is not even assigned.  I have found this book to have much easier questions, and the target percentiles are all in the 70%s so I think they actually are easier.  Still, I'm proud for increasing my score by as much as I did.  I think the key for me is really to take mental breaks frequently during these MBEs because at certain points I'm just reading without comprehending.  I also want the MBE to help and not hurt my chances of passing the bar exam...

That's all for now...hope everyone else is hanging in there.

  1. I started MPQ2 this week too. I've done a set a morning for the past 3 mornings. And I too feel they are a bit easier but they seem to be getting a little harder with each progressing set.

    I wish I knew how much everyone else is studying and understanding??
