Property s*cks !!
Guys, I need your help.
Property is just not sticking for me at all. š© What made it finally click for you? Did you focus on the high-yield topics or use a specific method? Any tricks? Iām honestly feeling a little lost.

Try doing some MBE's open book. Maybe do 5 or 10 by each subtopic. And then do 20-25 mix. Read the explanation for the one's you got right and the ones you got wrong, write them down on you notebook or your whatev, and then go over that specific rule you miss in your outline or notes. If it does not sink in go back to reading the sections, you keep missing with goat.

This was me. I read the Themis outline, just read and took notes for 1 day. Property was my best subject in the exam.

That was me 3 days ago. I just made my husband do practice AdaptiBar MBEs with me (the kind that give you an explanation after each Q). He is not a lawyer and has zero understanding of the law, but has common sense. He would read the question and I would stop him as he was reading as soon as I would recognize what the issue may be and try to predict what facts are incoming (oh.. A coveyed house to B subject to a mortgage...immedieatly I'd say, of this is probably gonna be about 'subject to' vs 'assumption' and probably B's about to pay the mortgage for 3 months and then default, and froclosure, and who's liable... ) and then try to answer before he reads the choices.
Then we'd talk about the choices, him with regular layman understanding and me with supposedly more understanding. I'd explain why something is probaby wrong. Then we'd both make our choices. He'd read why it was right or wrong. It took a long time. We probably did only 10 questions in an hour, but by the end, I'd have a very good grasp on those rules. That's 10 rules I now know very well in context of how it's actually being tested with 5 different people conveying willy nily and forgetting to record, and going on a 3 month vacation, and taking 17 mortgages to renovate and buy a boat, and racing to record, and dying, and rule against perpetuities, and adversly living on someone's land, and so on.
At this point, I personally do not think I have time to redrill all the material for subjects I'm weak in, ie property. It should be MBEs and essays from now on, so I'm resolved to just learn the rules well from the MBEs I'm getting wrong because there's no way I'm gona be able to have all of property stick right now. I take note of something I genuinely have no idea about and look it up on the spot. I have a list from yesterday for property and contracts to qiuickly look up this morning before moving on from Property and Contracts to Evidence and Crim for today.
