what are all those BarBri books?
BarBri gives you many books that are described in the Pacer program, p. 1 and in the BarBri handout from day one. They also give you access to the software as explained in the handout. If you are still confused, here is my take on the materials:
There are three books of outlines: (1) the Conviser mini-review, known as the short outline that contains only 60% of the material in the other book.
(2) the long outlines, so called because it is 8x14 and contains more material, are in two volumes: one labeled Illinois that covers the material for the essays subjects and one labeled multistate material for the multiple choice materials.
There is a lecture handout book to bring to the lectures - note it is usually perforated for easy tearing out if you wish.
There are several test books:
(1) Ill essays contains old bar exam questions and model answers for the Ill questions and for the afternoon MEE questions. This book will be a good friend to you.
(2) Practice questions: multistate testing. This is a book of sample MBE or multiple choice questions, arranged by category and arranged by introductory, intermediate and hard questions.
(3) MPT workbook: this contains a guide to how to attack the MPT problem and includes about 20 sample MPTs and sample answers.
(4) drills -- more multiple choice questions.
