This text is amazing. Seriously... My stress level went from 9 to 5 after reviewing the family law section and nailed every issue on my essay exam. (Yes, that's a big deal for me as more stress = less retention of info). It's not time for me to start my full on bar prep course, but I wanted something to refresh my memory while I wait. I've lost so much of the details over the past 3 years from 1L and 2L courses like Torts, Contracts, Con Law, etc.. Rigos very nicely condenses the info, doesn't use overly long explanations, but still provides enough context that flashcards can not. This doesn't overload your brain like BarBri's materials which I've tried before... I paid $250+ for BarBri 1 and 2L online review texts & lectures. BarBri appears more concerned about not allowing you to copy or print anything out, because you can only view one very poorly formatted page a time (as opposed to an easy to navigate scrolling format). Searching and using the index is a joke. I spent more time searching for the content I needed than actually studying.With Rigos, the indexes and magic memory outlines are fantastic - run through the memory outline and if you can't recall the info, easily flip to that section and give yourself a reminder. Use the acronyms they provide if needed, but those are totally optional and not distracting. Then take a few essay exam questions and use the example answers to find out if you hit all the issues or not. (Full disclosure - some people LOVE the long explanations and greater context that BarBri provides - I'm just not one of those people.) I'm absolutely buying the MBE Volumes as well, now that I see how well Rigos works for me..
I used Rigos MBE, MEE, and MPT primer books to study for and pass the July 2015 New Mexico bar exam, along with Critical Pass MBE flash cards. While NM is not a UBE state, the exam uses all elements of the UBE. I found Rigos very effective and reasonably priced. I learn and study best alone and by reading/memorizing (as opposed to watching or listening to BarBri/Kaplan type lectures) so if you have a similar learning style, I highly recommend using these materials.
I was excited about using Rigos books to study for the Feb. 2015 bar. I liked the idea that the books seemed to focus on what is likely to be tested and eliminated all the excess legal principals that are not frequently tested by the UBE. Unfortunately, these books frequently misstate the law or leave out issues that the UBE tests on quite frequently. For example, the requirements for creating a Limited Partnership. A certificate of L.P. must be filed with the Secretary of State. This certificate must be signed by the general partner. Rigos doesn't mention what needs to be included in the certificate of L.P., e.g. that the certificate must be signed by the general partner, even though this issue has been tested twice. Another example, Rigos states that under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, a complaint may be served by anyone who is not a party to the action. This is partially true. Anyone who is not a party to a complaint AND is at least 18 years old may serve a complaint. Another issue involves the source of the essays that are included in the Rigos Multistate Essay Exam Review Book. I thought the essays were actual essays from previous bar exams. This is not the case. They are essays that the Rigos team constructed. The Rigos essays are much simpler than those released from previous bars. I am so distraught that I signed up for another bar review course with only 3 weeks left before I sit for the bar. What a quandary,
I used the 2014 version in preparation for the July 2014 bar exam. I passed on my first try with plenty of room to spare. The books are straight forward and concise. They eliminate a lot of the filler and extraneous information that I felt the other books had. They also provide you with some useful test taking strategies beyond the standard ones that everyone is familiar with. These are by far the best books for the price. Each chapter has 200+ multiple choice questions. The books also contain a lot of statistical information about prior tests to help you focus on the heavily tested areas. I found the books helped me study more efficiently.The customer support is also amazing. They responded to my questions and requests for additional information promptly.They even offer readers cash if they come up with ways to improve the books for the next year. You can also sign up to listen to online lectures if you need the structure to help you study but the books are sufficient if you are able to self study and stick to a schedule. The bar is hard but definitely passable and these books are a great tool to help you succeed.
This text did not live up to its description. The substantive information in the book was shallow. The only helpful parts of this text were the charts that outline the frequency with which subjects and topics are included on the UBE.
