Re: BarBri or MicroMash Bar Review
Posted by Grant McEwen on 5/06/08

    Got the results back and I passed. Not only did I pass, but I passed by over 100
    points, which means I studied too hard.

    Anyway, I would recommend MicroMash to anyone who does not want to pay double for
    BarBri (all you get extra are live lectures, and far fewer example questions) and
    has the discipline to sit down and study. In the end, the two are almost the same. I
    passed, with flying colors, and did VERY well on the MBE portion. So don't worry.
