Re: Barbri vs actual MPRE

FWIW, I though the test today was a lot harder than the Barbri questions. I did the chemerinsky lecture, all 180 practice tests, and went through the outline and I do not feel great. Many of my friends feel the same way....

I started with the Kaplan book and thought, if the MPRE is this easy, passing will be a snap. Then I went through the Barbri book, and it was noticeably harder than Kaplan. I thought, if the real MPRE questions look like the questions in Barbri, passing at all will be a blessing.

I thought the BarBri questions were pretty dead on to what the actual questions were like.

Re: Barbri vs actual MPRE
