[QUOTE="Zaphod Beeblebrox, post: 2800407, member: 4606"] Been a while, but I seem to remember doing Kaplan immediately after graduation and then Barbri about a month after and leading up to the bar. Dave's right, there's a lot of streamed or video lectures, but they're pretty useful. Definitely take the practice exams; nothing else can prepare you for the physical and mental drain that is the bar. Also, take what the nice folks at Barbri tell you with a grain of salt. They told us over and over that the newest case law wouldn't be on the exam, particularly [I]AZ v. Gant[/I]. Well it wasn't on the multistate, but OK put it smack dab in the middle of the essay portion. Luckily, I knew the case because I had interned at the DA office. As far as the essay portion, we had access to the model answers for the last ten years or so. I can't remember how that was set up. Review them because you'll see a pattern and can predict at least four or five essay questions/issues. I got lucky and the first four questions were ones I had prepared specifically for. I got into the lunch break feeling pretty decent, and that confidence got me through the questions in the afternoon that kicked me square in the balls. [/QUOTE]
