I would just like to chime in with the fact that I just finished the first day of the Oregon Bar Exam, and it feels fantastic.

good luck finishing. that seems so close and yet so far off right now. how'd you prep? im assuming you took a course?

I took BarBri. Waste of time, in my opinion, although the materials are good to have. My law school study strategy mirrored yours to a T. I pretty much found law school classes to be a waste of time, and BarBri classes were the same way. If I had to do it again, I would just buy the books.

Later I might add a little more about law review (mainly how it's a big waste of time, but you should do it), but at this point I'll just add that the best thing about law review was the outline bank. GOLD.

I really disagree. I'm taking the Ohio bar now. I thought the BarBri lectures were excellent. Essentially my only studying was watching the lectures, rereading my lecture notes, and doing practice questions, and I think I'm pretty well set.

[censored] Ohio won't let you leave if you finish early though, so the MBE tomorrow is going to be brutal.

Yea, I guess it's just a matter of how you like to learn. I'm all about teaching myself. I guess "complete waste of time" is a bit of stretch, but I can safely say that only about four of the lectures were worth going to: Whitebread, Epstein, live Secured Trans (pretty told us everything we needed to know, no more, no less) and live Income Tax.
