Preparing for the Bar Exam

"The bar exam is not just another test, and this book is not just another set of instructions. This book is your personal success guide. Whether taking a UBE or a state-specific bar, students need to not only master the material but to train and prepare for one of the toughest high-stakes exam experiences around. This book will more than prepare you to pass the bar exam; the author's words will motivate you to do what it takes to succeed in law school, on the bar exam, and in the legal profession."

Advanced Legal Analysis and Strategies for Bar Preparation presents a comprehensive and holistic approach to bar exam study and test taking, offering explicit guidance for students as they attempt to transfer what they have learned in law school to bar study.

Couched in neuroscience and Zen principles of focus, discipline, awareness, balance, and simplicity, the book provides guidance for the best daily practices for uplifting your mind, body, and spirit during the rigors of studying. A central theme is harnessing a Zen mindset to stay motivated and mentally sharp. In addition to lifestyle and mindset, the book also offers specific, practical advice for maximizing scores on the essay, MBE, and MPT portions of the bar exam. The book outlines specific organizational/formatting tips for how to write effective (and efficient) essays under bar exam time constraints.

This all-inclusive textbook includes substantive outlines on all Multistate Bar Exam (MBE) topics and all Multistate Essay Exam (MEE) topics and is also easily adaptable for state-specific jurisdictions.

"This new edition contains 30 more questions on Civil Procedure than the prior edition did. Civil Procedure did not become part of the MBE until February 2015. Therefore, unlike all the other questions in this book, many of the Civil Procedure questions here (both in the Civil Procedure section and in the Practice Exam) are not actual past MBE questions released by the examiners, but rather, questions drafted by my editorial team and me that we hope will prove comparable to the ones you will encounter on the exam. However, Questions 1-30 in the Civil Procedure section are actual past MBE questions re-leased by the examiners, and are new in this edition.

This resource helps prepare students for both law school exams and the MBE. It features more than 1200 multiple-choice questions and detailed answers. New to the sixth edition are 140 new questions and answers not found in previous versions.

This small volume will show you how to use practice multiple-choice questions to greatest advantage. That involves changing the way you approach those questions. Conquering the MBE gives you a step-by-step process for attacking every multiple-choice question in every MBE subject, with lots of examples. You will discover that most questions offer review of four concepts rather than just one, and they do so on concrete contexts, not in the abstract.

We teach you everything that you need to know about preparing for and taking the MEE to achieve the highest possible essay scores, beginning with how to use the individual Subject Charts (organized by MEE subject) and Table of Issues (organized by bar administration). These charts identify every issue and sub-issue tested on the MEE over the past 14 years, thus letting you see the frequency of tested topics and gain familiarity with how they are tested.

"The Complete Bar Writer teaches readers how to prepare for the Multistate Performance Test and the Multistate Essay Exam (and similar bar performance tests and essay exams). Readers learn how to transfer the legal writing knowledge that they learned in law school to the bar exam, and how to build upon that foundation with skills specific to bar exam success. The book also fills gaps in readers' knowledge by teaching legal writing, analysis, and reading-and how to do all of those things under pressure. These skills are useful lawyering skills that readers can use after test day. As readers prepare for the bar exam, they will learn how to approach any MPT problem, no matter what kind of document they're assigned to write; how to evaluate their own practice exams and carry that knowledge forward to do better on their next ones; how to prepare for test day; and how to prepare for things that might go wrong. The Complete Bar Writer meets readers where they are with their legal writing knowledge and ensures they have the skills they need on bar exam day"-- Provided by publisher.
