Re: BarBri or MicroMash Bar Review
Posted by Bonnie on 1/05/06


    Hi..... between july of 1998 and february of 2000, I took
    BARBRI and PMBR for the New York bar exam. It took me ** 4 **
    read that, FOUR shots before I finally passed in 2000 (yay!),
    and i've been working since then. But now I'm taking the NJ
    bar exam in february of 2006. Now this will also be the fourth
    time I'm taking NJ (took it in february of 1999, july of 2004
    and july of 2005). i can't believe i didn't pass NJ all those
    times, and to think, it's much easier than NY, only 6 subjects
    (but now 7 with civ pro). now i don't want to take BARBRI
    because of the investment of money and time (i have to go
    almost every night to sit in four-hour classes in newark, which
    will first of all put me to sleep, and second of all, leave me
    with not enough time for working during the day and studying on
    my own) not to mention that BARBRI didn't help me pass the NY
    test three times before. i also have the PMBR books for the
    multistate, but they're two years old, from the 2004 exam. now
    that I look at my question, i'm so depressed, maybe i shouldn't
    bother!! i guess my question is, does anyone think micromash
    will help, if i really sit down with the books and study, or am
    I just a bad test taker, and am I done for? thanks, bonnie
