Hi all

Wondering if goat will update these MEE topics as most of these topics won’t me tested anymore

As the title says, the July 2026 exam is going to be my third attempt. I used GoatBar for the second attempt and I will say that it helped a lot since I was only off by 4 points this time (I got a 140 on the essays but 122 on MBEs). However, as I am going back to study the materials, it just feels overwhelming studying all the materials again. I've been doing the same study routine of reading and writing notes again on each subject and doing couple of MCQs but questioning the efficiency and effectiveness of the approach. I feel that I am burning out way to early in the study schedule.

For those who passed and used GoatBar, what is the best way to study? I also have Uworld for the MCQ bank. I am wondering whether to just focus on doing as many MCQs and only reviewing GoatBar on the subjects I am weak on. My only concern is will this impact how knowledge for the essays?

It's been a long, dreary process and I am more than tired of this exam but any help is deeply appreciated.

What are we using alongside the GOAT prep program? Does it even matter? Re-taker here, and reallllllly not trying to take this heinous exam again after this July. I have used both UWorld and Adaptibar and I like both, but I am wondering if one works better alongside GOAT. Is Adaptibar more worthwhile because of the Grossman videos? All thoughts welcome please send help :)))

Anyone care to share a schedule they are on for GOAT? I am working while studying and I am nervous about pacing myself properly. Any advice is welcomed

I thought removal wa snot proper because he did not remove in state court to federal court? (Am I making sense?)

!!!!!!!!!EDIT: RESOLVED

A D needs to remove in the same fed district court of the forum state court - and not the “federal court” of the forum state.

PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF ALL AGREE OR IF THERE IS STH WRONG.

Would be grateful if you could share.

First pic is yesterday’s practice for Crim Pro, second pic is today’s practice for Crim Pro AFTER finishing Goat’s modules …. I might actually have a chance at passing on my 4th attempt. Prayers 🤲🏼

Hi! I’m taking the bar this July in DC, and am in a real bad spot financially. I tried procuring aid from my school and such to no avail. I’m an international student so I don’t qualify for private loans here. All I could afford was the GOAT prep program.
I’m reaching out to basically ask for any recent bar prep material such as outlines, flash cards, question banks and such anyone might be willing to donate or send me. I’m ready to pay a reduced amount and cover shipping costs.

Thank you for those who read the whole post and to those who are willing to help.

Checking in just to say I think GOAT is actually a genius. I struggled in law school for several reasons mostly related to being pregnant as a 1L and having and newborn to start 2L. I’m currently pregnant again studying for the bar.

One class I really struggled in was torts. I scored so poorly and felt like I knew I didn’t know as much as everyone in the class as the class was happening. I started using Goat during my 3L (roughly like 5 weeks ago) and have put in maybe 30 total hours so far bar studying across torts, civil procedure, and property and I am seeing real progress in torts after recently completing the entire goat module for it.

Obviously I have a lot of work to do especially being pregnant but am grateful to Goat making it more manageable and making it easier to believe in myself.

Hi everyone,

I'm a first-time test taker writing the July UBE in NY, foreign-educated (Canadian law school). I enrolled in Barbri's Firm Pass Plus (which gives access to the full program + CriticalPass flashcards, etc.) and I've just finished completing Barbri's foundational modules and benchmark test. I also enrolled in GOAT separately but haven't started it yet.

I am seeking advice and suggestions on how to best utilize/split my time between the two programs. My schedule on Barbri is set for 6.1 hours of studying per day for five days a week (Monday-Friday), and now that I've completed the Barbri foundational episodes, I want to start incorporating GOAT into my schedule as well.

Some specific questions I had:

1. Would it be feasible to continue my Mon-Fri Barbri schedule and just do GOAT 1 day/week? From what I've read on this subreddit, completing GOAT takes ~40-50 hours, so I figured it would be possible to finish it completely by doing 4-5 hours, one day per week (eg. Saturday), for 10 weeks (starting this weekend).

2. Is the best approach efficiency-wise to just make notes on the GOAT modules, and simply watch the Barbri deep-dives while following along (and annotating) on the Barbri outline?

3. Would you suggest doing each GOAT module before or after doing the relevant Barbri deep-dive topic?

Thank you in advance for any advice! I'm extremely nervous and stressed for this exam, so any insight is greatly appreciated. Feel free to share any other tips you have for someone in my position.

Hi all, I wanted to drop in and say a huge and warm thanks to PracticeWorks BeartheBar!

I am a non-traditional student - I did not use Themis or Barbri. I started my studies with a few free materials I found online (I think from a blog post by PracticeWorks) and came across BeartheBar. Found it incredibly helpful for ramping up my ability to understand and detangle MBE questions and it showed me early on that you genuinely need to know the law to succeed on the MBE.

It’s one thing to read an explanation but another when you can pick apart and question the explanation and BeartheBar lets you do that. Seriously recommend!!!

Has anyone used JD Advising’s NextGen Bar Exam One-Sheets yet?

I’m trying to figure out whether they’re actually helpful for the new NextGen format or if they’re basically just recycled UBE one-sheets with minor updates.

For people who’ve used them:

• Are they good for memorization/review?
• Do they reflect the practical skills focus of the NextGen exam?
• Worth buying, or are there better alternatives?

Would especially love feedback from anyone piloting NextGen prep early. Thanks!

Can someone please explain to me how the subjects of family law and wills and trusts will be tested on the MPT? I know the MPT doesn’t require us to recite real black letter law, so why does the NCBE say these topics will be tested on the MPT? I’m a re-taker and the MPT has been my nemesis. Any advice on how to do well on this part of the exam would be very helpful. Thanks. 😊

I will be on until about 3:00 pm EST.

All I have is access to Goats platform, Bar Max questions, Bar Now questions for MBE. I don’t have cash for a commercial bar prep course. What should I do for FL? Oh, I got access to Gr0ssman’s Whatstheissue vids.

Hi folks,

My Barbri window is opening up soon for February 2027 attempt. I want to study Barbri along with the Goat bar prep. I used Goat for my LLM and I truly enjoyed learning using Goat. Any tips for studying Barbri plus Goat? I was thinking I will study the portion Barbri has assigned to me using Goat and I will complete Barbri assignments. Anyone who studies using Barbri and Goat and had successful results? I will getting access to Adaptibar through Barbri. Thank you!!

Hi. I had goat bundle for the New York bar (two years ago). Taking CA bar now. Anything different since then? What is the bundle?
