From the start, understand clearly what it takes to pass the bar exam and how to target the specific skills involved.
First, skip the self-proclaimed “experts” and blogs loaded with “tricks.” Learn directly from a former bar grader what it takes to be Esquired: What do the bar graders want to see on the essays and performance test? How do you raise your MBE score?
Then, use sophisticated approaches that target those defined competencies and skills across multiple subjects.
Feel confident with the depth and breadth of law you are using.
Efficient study demands comprehensive and logically constructed substantive law and other materials. Forget distilling rules from inconsistent lectures and written materials.
With complete consistency in substantive law structuring and terminology, all of your resources and feedback work together to promote your understanding and memorization of the rules for the essays and MBEs.
Best of all, work with rules that are keyed to how the bar grader would hope to see them presented.
Learn where you stand with meaningful feedback given by a former bar grader.
