I've avoided blogging in hopes of creating the perception that I was studying hard.
I fear this is not the case.
I have until Monday to be finished with the MBE topics, at which point I have to grudgingly acknowledge the fact that there are other sections to the exam, or at least that there's a state essay portion. (I may just go commando on the MPT and P&E.)
Also: While you're waiting for me to finish my Commercial-Paper-Study Version of Jay-Z's "Encore," don't forget about the hearsay study aid.
W&V - I took the Texas exam last year and passed. For the MPT - look at what kind of questions they ask and one sample answer to see the form. Then stop and prepare no more for it, its just not worth it from a percentage point of view. Best just to wing it, pun intended.
For both the essays and the P&E, if nothing else look at all the old tests and read the answers. Especially on P&E, there is a lot of repetition.
But all in all you are probably right about the MBE, that's where it's won or lost for the most part. No subjective grading there, just hardcore raw scantron data. Can't be challenged like those sissy essays.

Forget the MPT. If you can write complete and grammatically correct sentences, and, apparently, you can, you'll be just fine.

Man, I must be studying too hard. I watched the hearsay video and was thinking to myself, "Wait, that's only 3 of the 24 possible exceptions in rule 803. And it doesn't even address the important 'non-hearsay' stuff like admissions or former testimony."

Anyone have any more fun review aids, like the hearsay video?
