July Bar Exam Results: The MBE Exam

I have talked with many students this bar exam cycle about their MBE scores. Many students I talked with failed the MBE while passing the state portion of their bar exam. The MBE is always difficult because you have to get the right answer or you get no points. Across the board, whether you are from Harvard or from a third tier score, contracts and property are one and two for the hardest subjects of the six – and where most students have the most difficult. Torts is ranked as the easiest subject in terms of how many questions students get right nationally.

For those who failed the MBE exam, evaluate your scores carefully. Were your scores low in every subject or did you do well in some subjects and not well in others? This evaluation will determine how you should study of the February 2013 bar exam. If you have across the board weakness, then you have problems with the analytical portion of the test – you are not understanding the strategy of elimination. If you scores reflect an up and down weakness per subject matter, then you need to concentrate on those weak subject while not forgetting to work on your stronger subjects.

As the February 2013 bar comes closer, we will discuss strategies and tactics for the MBE.

    1. Is Michigan one of those states? Just curious after the posts from the end of last week hinting that they would release soon.

  3. Last week your blog stated, "We are still keeping an eye on Michigan. Michigan has said they would release their results around October 12th." Did you speak with the Board of Law Examiners? Because around the 12th to me would indicate the beginning of this week, since no results were released last week.
