This weekend I got in some real good study time, and I am finally beginning to understand "The Micromash Way". Here are my thoughts:
1. The errors in the literature make me nervous. While reading I can't help but wonder who wrote this stuff and where did they get the information from. And then I begin to wonder about who they hired to type it up. Was it an attorney or a high school drop out? Either way, it is certainly evident that NOBODY proofread this information before sending the error-laden document to a printer to be bound in books and sold to desparate law school graduates like myself. Needless to say, I have finally decided to call in reinforcements. What's worse than not knowing the law, well studying the wrong law. PMBR CDs where are you???
2. Speaking of PMBR CDs, there has got to be a better way to absorb this information. I mean READING 20+ pages of straight law gets a little dull. I need questions at the end of reading or something, but hey that's just me. After studying for a week, I am beginning to appreciate the Barbri video method. What Micromash is missing is CDs. I don't think it would cost that much more to have the person that "typed" the study guides speak into a microphone to record CDs. Hey maybe while speaking she can actually read what she wrote.
3. Lastly, more instructions on MBE studying. Like what subject should I begin with. When should I move on to the next MBE subject? stuff like that.
We do have attorney-mentors. I hope they are getting paid for answering all of my non-essay related questions. I sure have alot of them. On the positive side of things, I definitely like the software and the way that you can manipulate the questions. But because of all of the other errors I find myself worrying that someone spent a little more time reviewing the questions in the software.
I am prayerful.

Agreed, there are a number of errors, i find that i constantly have to compare micromash with barbri, something are in micromash that aren't in barbri and vice versa.
I will continue my thoughts tomorrow.
I'm using Micromash too. I love the software, but wish they gave more detailed schedules for the MBE part. I am using PMBR materials to supplement. Never hurts to CYA.
This is true re: CYA. The only time it does hurt is when you starting counting the lost Benjamins. You have to admit, errors in the written material is kinda cheezy. Now when I get confused on something, I'm wondering if they wrote the question correctly. That's not cool for anything over $500.
