I forgot how it is graded, but basically each essay (besides the professional responsibility, which is graded separately) has the same points. You have to identify the issues that the bar graders are given to earn the points. Professional responsibility on the third is graded separately, so if you just failed the profe. responsibility part, you get to keep the essay portion and just retake the prof respons. again. I think that's a huge plus.
Regarding the
BarOutlines.com I also used it and thought it was fantastic. However, that is b/c I took all the major courses and understood the outline without any help. Make sure you practice a real essay after reading each outline using their hints/techniques. Practice is the most important part in the preparation.
Also, bring your outlines with you on the day of the exam and review them during the breaks. It was very helpful.
