grrr! studying anger!

I purchased some mini outlines for the NC bar off e-bay. Why? Because Micromash's "condensed" outline for say, contracts, was THIRTY-EIGHT PAGES LONG.

Really, Micromash? That's the shortest outline you could come up with? If I brought a 38 page outline for my contracts professor to look over, he'd laugh in my face.

When I made outlines for my classes, their length progressed from about 100-70 pages, then about 20, then about 5, then finally a one-page outline featuring little more than abbreviated words and acronyms of basic points. Not until I saw that entire course on a single sheet of paper did I feel prepared for the exam.

So what the hell Micromash? You give me NOTHING to skim over with beyond a table of the contents for your 30-40 freaking page "condensed" outlines. I have to go on e-bay to find true outlines: 2-5 page summaries of each topic. Thanks for nothing.

BarBri outlines are sometimes 80 pages. Perhaps when your career is on the line, longer might actually be better... Just a thought...
