How do I score high on the MBE or improve my score as a second time taker?
The MBE is an intellectual monster and is the classic dragon of all multi-choice questioning. First, you must understand that this exam, unlike the essay portion of the bar, is a reading comprehension examination. Speed and accuracy are paramount to your success.
Now, how do I improve speed with accuracy?
There are several exercises that you can do.
1) Always time yourself when doing questions to improve your speed while emphasizing accuracy (Time is your enemy).
2) Do the same questions over and over until you see a pattern of legal logic.
3) Do a variety of questions varying easy, difficult and hard to develop and sharpen your legal analysis.
4) Read both the correct and incorrect answers.
5) Circle or underline all parties so that you understand status and legal relationships.
6) The most important tip is to understand and answer only the call of the MBE question.
These tips will help you dramatically improve your MBE scores.
