BarBri was down today.  So I focused on making flashcards in ANKI for CivPro, and also reviewed materials.  I'm moving unusually slow right now.  But, I will be ready for the BAR!

Assignment for Today.

• Civ Pro - lectures & outlines!
• Barbri's "How to Review Multistate Explanatory Answers" and  
• MBE Torts Workshop (25 Qs)

Comments:  I have a good breath knowledge understanding of Torts. I, however, will need to dig deeper into some highly testable topics, such as product liability and negligence.  I plan to also deconstruct some model essays answers for some previous Tort Bar Exam questions.  More to come.  

Currently at the gym. Today I completed the first lecture on torts and did active recall on the materials.  I am behind on the MBE videos and..will.complete them.tonight.  Hopefully I can also watch quimbee tonight to reenforce the materials.  More to come

Today, I:
- Actively Recalled Con Law principals.
- Watched a video lesson: Judicial Power in the Constitutional Law course
- Took a quiz: Judicial Power in the Constitutional Law: scored 4 out of 5
- Watched a video lesson: Separation of Powers and Federalism in the Constitutional Law course
- Took a quiz: Separation of Powers and Federalism in the Constitutional Law: scored 5 out of 5
- Watched a video lesson: Origins of the U.S. Constitution in the Constitutional Law course

MBE - Tracking my performance

Caveat: I am still refreshing my memory on the topics for the exam.  The BarBri program has not yet begun, however, I have started taking sample MBE questions to gauge my baseline.  The passing threshold is around 64% correct on the MBE, but, I would like to be way above this %.  

Created an outline for the Equal Protection Clause under the 14th amendment, that identifies the three factors/checklist - (1) Gov (state) action; (2) Facial or Application Challenge; (3) Review Standards based on classification - e.g., strict scrutiny = 'suspect' classes or fundamental right impeded; intermediate scrutiny =quasi-suspect; rational basis review = other classification.

Took a sample exam at school today.  It was brutal.  My only saving grace was my performance on civil procedure.  I realized that I a lot of work ahead of me. But in the short amount of time I spent on civil procedure I have increased my performance to a passing rate. Hopefully in a few days I will be scoring well in all multiple choice questions. I plan to track my performance using Excel.
