Barbri MPRE questions

According to Queer Thinker (blogger):

Quote:
I didn't take the course, but I have friends who did and have read about it. I suspect the course is a waste of time. The Barbri book...I can't put my finger on it, but I don't feel like those questions are exactly like the ones on the real MPRE. It's not like studying from the book will steer you wrong. But if I had to say anything, I'd actually probably say the MPRE is a tad easier than the Barbri questions. Some people feel the opposite. To me, while I was taking the exam, there were simply more questions that I felt like either had obvious correct answers--even to the point of your knowing the answer before reading the choices--or obviously incorrect answers to the point where you could get it down to two choices. There were just some questions that if you read the outline, you were going to get those questions right because they were so straightforward. Others were a little too off-the-wall from what I'd seen on practice tests or discussed in the outlines to the point where I figured they had to be among the questions that don't count towards your score. As with most other standardized tests, the MPRE just has levels of difficulty, it seems, for all the questions.
I felt the same way. That's why I ended up using the real mpre questions for my practice. After all, why not use the real thing when you get them especially now many bar review books offer the explanations, too:)

Hi there,

Thank you for responding. That's put my mind at rest. I know a few people that failed in March and they followed the Barbri practice tests but perhaps they are just unethical...

Regards,
Dave
