The July 2013 Bar Exam: The Answer Choices for the MBE

Please look at our new website and new MBE Program at barprofessors.com

As we know, after the fact pattern and the call of the question, there are 4 multiple answer choices. One of those multiple choice answers is the correct one, while distractors form the other 3 choices. How do we know which choice is the correct answer?

The good thing about the MBE is that the right answer is staring at you. Your just have to find the right answer out of 4. That’s a 25% chance you’ll pick the right answer. The wrong answer choices usually come in various categories: the law is incorrect, the facts are incorrect, there is a mixture of wrong facts and wrong law, or the law is correct but doesn’t apply to your facts.

Yes, the MBE uses every trick in the book, but you can find the right answer by eliminating the wrong answers first. Being able to eliminate the wrong answers is critical to your success in finding the right answer. Because even if you don’t know the right answer, you may be able to successfully eliminate the other 3 answers and get to the right answer, even without knowing what the right answer is.

Eliminating the obvious wrong answers will substantially increase your chances of getting the right answer. If you successfully eliminate two, you chances become 50% of getting the right answer.

Remember that the correct answer must state the correct law, must state the correct facts, have a sound application of law to facts and finally needs to address and resolve the central issue in the fact pattern.

Remember, you get no points for choosing the wrong answer, so you must get the right answer for your MBE questions at a rate of at least 65% – 70% in order to pass the MBE.

5. Read the answer choices.

6. Try to eliminate the answer choices, one by one, looking for errors in law or in fact or both.

The July 2013 Bar Exam: Examining the Facts on the MBE

Please look at our new website and new MBE Program at barprofessors.com

Don’t ever assume facts when you read the fact pattern on the MBE question. There are no omitted facts in the MBE. Do not read into the question any facts that are not there or to assume any facts that are not there. Also, always assume that the facts are important. There are no red herrings on bar exams. Don’t feel any sympathy or hatred for anyone in the fact pattern. They are sometimes designed to elicit emotion from you in order to steer you to the wrong answer. For example, a serial murder will have a procedural defect he can rely on, so he will be found not guilty. You don’t want him to be found not guilty, so you look for the guilty answer choices and you end up picking the wrong answer.

As you read through the fact pattern, ask yourself why these facts are important. Since you have read the call of the question, you will have a better context of why the facts are there and why they are important. Make sure you pay attention to dates, ages, dollar amounts and parties. They will be important.

Also, look at the parties and how they are acting. For example, look for words like intentionally, knowingly, mistakenly, reasonably, etc. These words will be important when you look through the MBE answer choices.

The July 2013 Bar Exam: Answer Every Question on the MBE

Please look at our new website and new MBE Program at barprofessors.com

Some questions on the MBE will stump you. You look at the call of the question, the fact pattern and the answer choices and you have eliminated at least half the answer question. But you are now stuck between two answers and you can’t decide which answer is the right one.

With the limited amount of time you have to answer every question, you are going to have to guess. At least with your decision down to two answers, you have a 50% chance of getting it right. Pick one of them and move on to the next question. Remember, you do not lose points for an incorrect answer.

Do not ever skip questions on the MBE. Answer them in the order they are given. Put a check by the question or even write down the number and, only, if you have time left, you can go back and recheck your answer.

But make sure you fill in the bubble for your answer choice for the correct question. You do not want to skip that question, lose your place on the bubble exam answer sheet and then mismark the remaining answers because you forgot you skipped the question. That is a horror story that has happened to applicants too many times to count.

The July 2013 Bar Exam: The Analysis of the MBE

Please look at our new website and new MBE Program at barprofessors.com

The Multistate Examination is hard. You have to have a game plan when you go into the exam.

Here are some suggestions:

Reading a Question

Because of time constraints, you will have time for only one reading of the fact pattern. Do not read the fact pattern as a novel.
You must read carefully and actively to spot signal words and legally significant facts. Pay attention to the bar examiners’ particular use of language and look for the following as you read:

1) Relationships between parties that signal the area of law and legal duties: landlord/tenant, employer/employee, principal/agent, buyer/seller;

2) Amounts of money, dates quantities and ages;

3) Words such as “oral” and “written,” “reasonable” and “unreasonable,” among others;

4) Words that indicate the actor’s state of mind. Look for such language as:

• Intended
• Decided
• Mistakenly thought
• Deliberately
• Reasonably believed

Never Assume Facts

The bar examiners construct MBE questions to contain all the facts you need to answer the question. You must rely solely on these facts and no others, to answer the question. Of course you may draw reasonable inferences from the facts but you cannot fabricate your own or create “what if” scenarios.

Stick to the Law

You must apply the rule of law to the facts . You cannot get emotionally involved with the parties or substitute your instincts for what you know is legally correct. Don’t think someone is guilty when the call of the question says he is not. That is not what the question is asking you.

The July 2013 Bar Exam: The Frequently Tested Subjects on the MBE

Please look at our new website and new MBE Program at barprofessors.com

The Bar Examiners frequently test the same areas over and over again. Part of your preparation for the bar exam is knowing the areas in which the Bar Examiners like to test. Here are some of the more heavily tested areas on the Multistate.

Torts

Torts on the bar exam emphasizes negligence, just like in law school. Of course, negligence comes in many shapes and hues, including negligence per se, res ipsa loquitur and differing standards of care.

Evidence

When you think of evidence the only thing that should be ringing in your ears is the word hearsay. The vast expense of hearsay requires knowledge of what out-of-court assertions are not hearsay, as well as what statements fall within the exceptions. The Best Evidence Rule is on the exam, but not a highlight for examiners.

Criminal Law and Procedure

It is important to know search and seizure issues from the Fourth Amendment as well as Miranda issues from the Fifth Amendment and right to counsel issues from the Sixth Amendment. Also focus on common law crimes, such as criminal homicide.

Please look at our new website and new MBE Program at barprofessors.com

The Bar Examiners frequently test the same areas over and over again. Part of your preparation for the bar exam is knowing the areas in which the Bar Examiners like to test. Here are some of the more heavily tested areas on the Multistate.

Constitutional Law

Individual rights matter a lot. These range from Equal Protection, to Due Process, to the Privileges and Immunities Clause to, of course, the First Amendment

Property

Property law covers a wide variety of subjects. While basic Property concepts, such as easements, covenants, adverse possession, estates in land and future interests, are covered, the examiners have taken a liking to mortgages in recent years. For many students, mortgages were not even included in their basic property class.

Contracts

The most tested area in contracts is basic formation issues. Conditions, third party beneficiaries and remedies also matter.

The July 2013 Bar Exam: Essay Organization

Please look at our new website and new MBE Program at barprofessors.com

In order to write a successful essay answer, you must learn to organize your answer as you analyze the fact pattern.

First read the fact pattern, making notes and underlining key facts. Once you examine the fact pattern, you will need to organize your essay. Organize by looking at your legal issues. What are the causes of action? Who are the parties? What does the call of the question want you to do?

Only after you make your decision to organize based on the call of the question, then you can start the analysis.

Look through the fact pattern for facts which should be used for applying the law and then you can apply the facts to that law.

The July 2013 Bar Exam: Understand the Black Letter Law

Please look at our new website and new MBE Program at barprofessors.com

You must build a good, solid foundation of the black letter law. In order to have a good foundation, you must review each bar exam subject. Go through each subject, one by one and absorb each subject as best you can. As you go through the subject, make sure you understand the basic law before you move on.

To build a foundation of the law, you need to break the subject areas into more manageable components. Break your subject into topics. And go through the elements of the topics of each subject.

What I mean by that is to take a subject, like Torts. Then break the Tort subject down to topics, i.e. Negligence. Do you know all the elements of negligence? Do you know the elements of battery? You can outline it and/or make sure you know it by heart before you move on. You can do that memorization by reciting it or writing it down without looking at your notes or outlines.

Once you feel you know that topic, do a few essay questions and some MBE on that topic just so you know you have it.

The July 2013 Bar Exam: Answering Only the Call of the Question

Please look at our new website and new MBE Program at barprofessors.com

Often in essay answers, I have seen students try to impress the bar examiners with all of their knowledge, even if it doesn’t apply to the specific call of the question.

The bar examiners don’t want a bunch of archane and esoteric information that you know about a particular subject. Don’t tell the bar examiners that the question is particularly interesting or that you know a lot of the subject at hand. Don’t make jokes in your essay answer.

Time is of the essence. The bar examiners craft the questions for the time allocated. They do not expect to see anything unrelated to the specific s of the question.

I have seen essay answers that look panic-stricken with a lot of useless information at the end of the answer, as if the student is putting everything in the answer but the kitchen sink. These brain dumps do nothing for you and will get you no extra points.
As boring as it sounds, answer the specific call of the question only.

The July 2013 Bar Exam: Sound Like a Lawyer When You Write

Please look at our new website and new MBE Program at barprofessors.com

The purpose of the bar exam is for the bar examiners to determine if you are ready to be a lawyer. That’s why using lawyer-like words will help you when you write.

I don’t mean for you to use legalisms or a lot of “wherefor art thou” type of language. Instead use the verbs that lawyers use. For example, don’t tell the bar examiners that the court will find the criminal defendant innocent. A defendant is always found not guilty. When a plaintiff prevails, don’t say that the plaintiff won the case. Instead of telling the bar examiners that the court will reject the petition, tell the bar examiners that the court will dismiss the petition. Instead of a party losing a venue issue, for example, say that the party waived his right to it.

Also use “term of art” lawyer words. For example, one of my pet peeves is when a law students doesn’t use the word pretermitted child when discussing a child who was omitted from a will . Use words like elective share when discussing what the spouse is entitled to in the will.

Your essay will be much better when you use language that lawyers use.

Remember, write like a lawyer for your bar exam essays and MPTs. Only then will the bar examiners know you are ready to practice law.

The July 2013 Bar Exam: The MBE

Please look at our new website and new MBE Program at barprofessors.com

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

The July 2013 Bar Exam: Learn Your Bar Exam

Please look at our new website and new MBE Program at barprofessors.com

Bar Exams are creatures of habits. If you study your bar exam you should have a pretty good idea of what you will see when you sit for your bar exam in July 2013.

Look at past exams in your state. What is the format? Is it a long fact pattern or a short fact pattern? Look at the call of the question. What type is the call of question? Is it a generic type, i.e , talk about the issues that give you no clue as to the essay itself or is it a two or three specific questions that you can answer, pointing the way to the issues that the bar examiners want you to focus on?

Now, look at the subjects tested on your past exams. Is there a pattern of frequently tested subjects? Are there 7 or 8 topics that the bar examiners like more than others? This will enable you to practice those frequently tested subjects.

By learning your bar exam, you will be better prepared to face the unknown and you will not be surprised when you open your exam booklet on the day of the bar exam.

The July 2013 Bar Exam: Goal Achievement

Please look at our new website and new MBE Program at barprofessors.com

Goal achievement is the key to studying for the bar exam, especially if you are a repeat taker. You must keep your eye on your ultimate goal – passing the bar exam, along with figuring out how best to get to that ultimate goal of passing the bar exam.
How do you go about getting prepared for the bar exam? Let’s look at your study goals. You need to accomplish two things: the ultimate and overall goal, which is to pass the bar exam, and a day-to-day goal, which is to work towards achieving your ultimate goal.

It is not only about setting your goals for success, but also by developing the strategies to achieve the goal and then implementing the strategies.

Implementing the strategies of passing the bar exam include goals, each and every day that you must work on. We have discussed employing a study plan. That study plan should include a goal each day – i.e. working on the black letter law or working on improving your essays, MBEs or MPTs. Make sure the goal is a realistic goal, but make sure that you are moving forward each and every day. Implementing your strategy includes working on your weaknesses every day so that you can improve your performance when it comes time to sit for your bar exam.

Remember that studying for the bar exam is a journey that must be accomplished in incremental steps.

The July 2013 Bar Exam: Preparation, Success and Training

Please look at our new website and new MBE Program at barprofessors.com

Bar Professors will begin the process of discussing important topics to get you ready for the July 2013 bar exam. Although this advice is mainly for repeat takers, our advice can be used for those taking the bar exam for the first time.

Getting ready for the July 2013 bar exam is all about preparation. Preparation includes your mental attitude as well as your outward preparation. I often compare taking the bar exam to preparing for a marathon. You cannot jump out of bed the morning of the marathon and think that you will be able to run successfully, mile after mile, with no training. You must prepare beforehand and you must get ready for your bar exam marathon.

Mentally, you must get yourself comfortable with the idea that you will work every day and that, with proper preparation, you will pass the examination. Winners know the value of preparation. The philosopher, Confucius, once said that “success depends upon previous preparation, and without such preparation, there is sure to be failure.”

Muhammad Ali, the champion boxer, said that “I hated every minute of the training, but I said, “Don’t quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.”

July 2013 will be your championship moment, don’t let yourself down. Prepare to study and prepare to pass the bar exam in July.

The July 2013 Bar Exam: Make A Schedule and Stick to It

Please look at our new website and new MBE Program at barprofessors.com

In order to pass the bar exam in July 2013, you need two things: time-management and discipline. Planning ahead and sticking to a schedule will conquer both requirements. Thorough preparation is the key to passing the exam and having a schedule in place will allow you to manage your time and to stick to a study timetable. For a plan to work, you have to address your learning style as well as the substantive areas you will be tested on.

First make a calendar of the next 2 months – up to the bar exam date in July 2013. Set out a timetable of when and where you will study per day. Be sure your schedule is realistic. If you make it too onerous, you will not follow the schedule and you will put off studying. Be realistic with your goals and your study habits. For example, you can’t go throughout the entire day with no lunch or no exercise or take no breaks You have to write a study plan that suits you and your personality, without slacking off.

In the beginning, you are going to struggle with the large amount of materials, but keep at it and keep pushing yourself. It’s like training for a race. You first have to struggle through the materials until it starts feeling right, then you will be clicking on
all cylinders.

The July 2013 Bar Exam: It’s Time To Start Studying

Please look at our new website and new MBE Program at barprofessors.com

For those who must retake the bar exam in July 2013, this week must be the time to pick up your bar exam books and start studying for a successful bar exam result. You have almost 2 months to get up off the floor, find a new attitude and tell yourself you will pass this time around.

For repeat takers, if have taken the bar exam multiple times and are still not getting the results you want, think about getting a tutor. There is obviously something about the way you study or how you study that is not producing results for you. A tutor can set up a study plan with you, discuss areas of the bar exam materials that you are not getting and keep you motivated and less isolating.

The July 2013 Bar Exam: The Myths and Reality of Passing the Bar Exam as a Repeat Taker

Please look at our new website and new MBE Program at barprofessors.com

Bar Professors has worked with many students who have been unsuccessful on the bar exam. We have had students who have taken the bar exam 3, 4, 5, 6 or more times before they come to Bar Professors. Each time the student has taken the exam, he/she has been unsuccessful. The students’ mind-sets are all similar: that with the multiple times they have taken the bar exam, somehow the exam taking experience gets easier and they will eventually pass, without help or without changing their method of operation.

The statistical proof is clear and convincing that repeat takers continuously do poorer on the bar exam than first time takers and that the students’ own pass rate declines each and every time they take the bar exam.. Here are the hard facts:

The Pennsylvania February 2013 bar results indicate that the first time takers passed at a 72% pass rate. The second time takers pass rate was 57%, the third time taker pass rate was 53% and the fourth time takers passed at 24%.

In Texas, for the February 2013 bar exam results, first time takers passed at an 81% rate, while repeat takers passed at a 36% pass rate.

In Massachusetts, for the February 2013 bar results, first time takers passed at a 73% rate, second time takers passed at a 62%, third time takers passed at a 39% rate, fourth time takers passed at a 40% rate and 5th time takers or more passed at a 15% rate.

These statistical repeat taker numbers are a clear representation that repeat takers, on an average, only pass the bar exam at about a 33% rate.

Obtaining a bar exam tutor should be the number one goal for all repeat takers. You cannot pass the bar exam without help and without changing your methodology. Do everything you can to ensure that you pass the next time you sit for the bar exam.
