Just under 7 weeks till the bar

I believe this is when most of the bar review courses start, with 7 weeks till the bar… I have done approx 300 PMBR Red Book questions across the 6 MBE subjects, as well as reviewed flash cards and Strategies and Tactics when I can… I’ve also been continuing to listen to the PMBR CDs when I am in my car… I must admit, I slowed down over the holidays, and after the new year, but I am ready to kick things off for the “final” 7 weeks till the bar… Unfortunately, my full-time job is becoming more demanding as time goes on and February will be a very busy month (go figure)…

Anyway, my immediate goal is to complete all of the practice questions in the Strategies and Tactics book. There are 354 questions total across all 6 MBE subjects, and all are released NCBE questions from previous bar exams… To date, I’ve only done PMBR sample questions so I’m curious to see the difference in the style/difficulty of the questions… Once I’m done, I plan to do the NCBE Annotated Preview 2006… My goal is to finish all 354 questions by next Friday, Jan 16th. I think that is possible, even though I am traveling on business 2 days next week…

I’ve been continuing to make notecards, but I don’t have the time to review them as much as I’d like to… Con Law and Contracts are killing me… By FAR my worst two subjects… Property and Evidence are my best so far… I know this is somewhat backwards, so I’m hoping that Con Law “comes to me” at some point before the bar, because right now it’s brutal…
