[Bar Prep] Themis Bar Prep with Lecture Outlines (California)
Hey all, quick question if anyone has taken Themis before.
I am reviewing all the law purely with the lecture handouts for each subject. I've never read the full outline for any of the subjects (didn't think it was efficient). This wasn't a problem for the first few subjects I was reviewing; right after fully reviewing an outline I'd usually score 60-65% on the PQs I took right after. Naturally some questions were a bit hard/obscure but that was expected.
However, I just finished a Con Law PQ after reviewing the outline and a lot of the material simply wasn't on the lecture handout and I missed much more than I did with other subjects. Did anyone else run into this issue a lot with Themis lecture handouts, and would they recommend studying/memorizing the law in a different fashion, or is the lecture handout pretty indicative of what will actually show up on the Bar Exam? I read somewhere that someone spoke to a Themis rep and they said the Lecture Handouts contain like 90-95% of the subject, but I just didn't feel that way after this PQ session lol. Just wondering if I should be spending time reviewing PQs/material that simply won't be on the exam. Thanks for any help!

Ya I found the con law materials to not really line up well with the PQ's which was annoying. What I did was make sure I really understood the stuff they did give us and then learned the rest through reading answer explanations.
Thats insanely annoying but good to know, I have been doing the same. I'll supplement it with Studicata. Thanks!
