Bar/Bri vs. PMBR vs. Real MBE

As of right now I don't see the worth of PMBR even though I signed up because Bar/Bri also provides a practice MBE, but here is one blogger's experience in Utah with the practice MBE's vs. the real one. What do you think?

*Update*
I guess there is some worth to doing one MBE studying and then doing PMBR and seeing if your score improves. But I do agree with the Mark's comment, we are spending a lot of money and all the kinks should have been worked out. Bar/Bri charges 2 grand a person for books whose material barely changes from year to year.


**Update**
I think I would recommend the Home Study Bar/Bri program (if you can afford it). That way you can create your own schedule and listen to the lectures on the I-Pod they send you. You do have to be disciplined and sit down and listen to the I-pod and fill in the blanks, but you could do those 3 hours at 10 am instead of 9am or at 1 in the afternoon. If you like to work out in the morning you could do it then and then listen to the lectures. You just have a lot more flexibility. Maybe a couple of students can do the home study together, although this may violate Bar/Bri's policy. I don't know. It also helps to do lots of questions. I highly recommend the Study Smart Software, because you can track your progress and target your questions to the areas that you are week. For instance, if you are having issues with Negligence in Torts and Governmental Immunities in Con Law, you can pick and choose only questions in those topics until you improve.


***Update***
I would highly recommend Strategies & Tactics for the MBE for a supplement to your bar preparation or to start preparing early before Bar/Bri or PMBR starts. Check out the reviews, because they are all good. I'm using an older version and find the tips and hints very helpful.
