So I just got my results back last week and I finally passed on my third attempt. I know that sounds rough, but I wanted to share what actually worked because I wasted so much time on the wrong approach the first two times. I graduated from Creighton in 2023 and honestly thought I could coast through on my law school outlines. Big mistake.
The thing that changed everything for me was ditching the passive reading and actually doing timed NE BAR practice test sets every single day for six weeks. I'm talking full MBE sections under real conditions, not just skimming through questions. I also found a solid NE BAR study guide that broke down Nebraska's specific civil procedure nuances — that section killed me on attempt two. Got my MBE up from a 131 to a 144, which made all the difference.
For anyone currently prepping, my biggest exam tip is to track your wrong answers by subject, not just by question number. I had a massive blind spot in Real Property that I didn't even notice until week four. Would've been nice to catch that in week one. Happy to answer questions about the MEE component too — that one's underrated in how much it can move your score.
