Well, without reading your essay, it is hard to tell you what you have missed. What I can tell you is that many times attorneys forget to put down the basic general rules before they go into too many nuances of law.
For example,
Bar Outlines teaches us that whenever you see a Contract formation issue, put down:
Quote:
|
A valid contract requires offer, acceptance (mutual assent), consideration, legal capacity, and legal subject matter. The contract must comply with the Statute of Frauds if the contract is for the sale of goods for $500 and over unless an exception exists such as a merchant confirming memo, specially manufactured goods, admissions, or part performance applies.

and to memorize this before we even see the questions. That means, I don't care if there is a consideration issue or a statute of fraud of issue, when I see Contract formation, I put this whole general rule down. That means I know the answer before I see the question.
then of course I apply the facts and give the conclusion.
If you are spotting the right issues and putting down the right rules, then maybe you are just bad at application? I know that practice real questions will help with that respect.
Oh about the schedule, Barbri's pace program worked for some people where I used baroutlines'
They both work well, the key is to follow through and don't skip your plan!
Memorize your general rules, practice, and put it down on the day of your exam!!
Sorry my answers are so general. Let me know if I am completely off.
I personally would not go to PMBR or use Celebration Review just b/c I heard bad things about them
