Anyone wanna be Themis friends?

I did half my law school online and didn’t really retain any friendships. I’m looking for anyone who is taking the July UBE and is using Themis (sorry Barbribabes) to study, so that we can commiserate and share jokes.

Discouraged

Feeling a little discouraged, I started in the contracts and sales MBE questions between 27-37%. I steadily have increased to a 44%. However, my fiance, who is also studying for the bar, is getting between 55-66% and is not struggling. In fact, he is behind and does not need to spend up to 8 hours a day studying.

Those who did not pass the first time, why do you think that was?

Bad study habits? Didn’t study? Simply didn’t retain to information? Spread too thin? Used a prep program that just didn’t work out for you?

Am I starting too late?

It seems like everyone I know is starting to dig into their studies. I planned to start Barbri on Monday 5/24 based on their daily schedule. Should I clear my weekend and jump on it now?
