I will strongly recommend baroutlines for any one who is serious about fronting the bar examiners on their tricks and shenanigans. I did not have the time or the resources to attend BarBri lectures. I researched, found and subscribed to the BarOutlines.com's California Bar Exam materials – boy am I glad that I found them!

Fail or pass I went into that exam hall full with confidence because the material is lucent to the issues and easy to cram.

If I fail, I only have myself to blame for the lack of time and my misjudgment during the exam in addressing the issues fully but the study material did assure me and I am very grateful.

I am presently reading the MPRE outline. It is helping me to arrange what I have read in the text book into bench marks and understanding the basis is what I need since I have come to accept the facts that the MBE or some parts of the bar exam is tricking the examinee not really to know if you are brilliant.
