The February 2015 Bar Exam: Plan Ahead and Stick to A Schedule

Sign up for our Small Group One Day Workshop/Seminar for Federal Civil Procedure in Miami and in Naples, Florida at www.barprofessors.com.

In order to pass the bar exam in February 2015, 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 February 2015. 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 because you were unrealistic in the time aspect of your plan. 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 voluminous materials, but keep at it and keep pushing the pace. It’s like training for a race. You first have to struggle through the repetition until it starts feeling right and you start performing at your optimal level.

For your schedule, you should first start with relearning and reviewing the outlines with some practice questions thrown in and as you pick up the pace, you’ll reverse it and do more practice questions and essays and only use your outlines for clarification on questions you get wrong or confused about.

Don’t ignore your weak areas or your strong areas. You may not need to schedule as much time in your stronger subjects, but review them as consistently as you do all the other subjects. You may not need to read or reread the outlines of your strong subjects, but during those time periods, practice your questions. You may need those extra points on the bar. For your weaker subjects, don’t spend too much time obsessing on your lack of knowledge or take away from other subjects you also need to study; and do not ignore your weak subjects. All bar examinees have weak subjects. Again, spend time on those subjects as you would other subjects and just keep practicing. You’ll be surprised at how much you really do know in those weak subjects.

The February 2015 Bar Exam: Include Your Family in Studying for the Bar Exam

Sign up for our Small Group One Day Workshop/Seminar for Federal Civil Procedure in Miami and in Naples, Florida at www.barprofessors.com.

For those students who are taking the February 2015 bar exam, take a few days off to relax your mind and have quality time with those that love you. Take the time off with no guilt attached. You can get back to work full time after the holidays.

Those that really love you want to see you pass the bar. Know that with certainty. Those who are pulling and picking at you, saying you don’t have to study that long or want you to go to the clubs and parties are not your true friends and do not want you to be successful.

Sometimes those loved ones see you study and see your struggle and wish they could help you, but don’t know how. Bar applicants who have children find it hard to be both a parent and have a full time study plan. Don’t ignore them. Try to integrate them into your “experience”.

During these weeks of celebration for Hanukkah, Christmas and New Years’, look at those that are supporting you in ways you may not even realize. Maybe your mom makes you breakfast every morning before you leave to go study. Maybe your spouse is doing the heavy lifting as you study. Let them know you appreciate their support, even if they are just getting out of your way during this period before the bar exam.

No person is an island. You need your family and friends during this stressful period of bar exam studying. Have your family help you. They will be glad to help and they will be proud of the little part they played in your success. Give your family members or your children one of your study books and have them test you. This is particularly good for the elements of a cause of action. Have your family help you recite those causes of action. See if you can make a game out of it, with your children or family members each calling out an element of a cause of action.

You may be surprised on game day when you are calling up the exceptions to the hearsay rule and you remember the face of your loved ones yelling it out to you.

Have a terrific New Years’. Rest, relax and then get back to work. The February Bar Exam is right around the corner.

The February 2015 Bar Exam: Keep a Limited Study Schedule Through the Holidays

Sign up for our Small Group One Day Workshop/Seminar for Federal Civil Procedure in Miami and in Naples, Florida at www.barprofessors.com.

There is less than a day before Christmas Eve, our families are making plans for the holidays, we are doing our last minute shopping and making sure we have our travel plans in place for visiting. Yet, you have the February 2015 bar exam right around the corner.
This is not the time to do round-the-clock studying. You will not be able to keep up a schedule like that anyway and you shouldn’t have to do it during this time of the year. But there are batches of time you can take during these holidays so that you can keep up your schedule plan.

Don’t put the books away. If you are traveling by plane or by train, you certainly can read your outlines instead of playing games or watching movies on your computer or phone. If you are driving to your destination, get some tapes and play them as you drive instead of listening to music to pass the time. You can get an hour or two in for studying every day while you are enjoying the holidays. Think about getting up an hour early while everyone else is still asleep or go to bed an hour early and read your outlines in bed before you sleep.

Also think about taking a few days off completely from studying , i.e Christmas Day, New Years’ Eve– it will refresh your mind and make you eager to get back to work after those breaks.

These study techniques will keep you focused on the job ahead, but also allow you to take the remaining time off and relax with your family. You know that your family will do anything to help you achieve your goal, so let them fuss over you – you deserve it.

We are going to post some Federal Civil Procedure questions here, a few times a week, on this blog. Once you have digested the question, please go to our facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/BarProfessors, and find the answer explanation. Here is the next question:

P is a citizen of Massachusetts, who works in Connecticut. D and E are citizens of New Jersey who work in that state. One day, D borrowed E’s car, advising E that he intended to use it to pick up his sister in Hartford. However, D drove to Massachusetts to take his new girlfriend to Boston. Unfortunately, D became involved in a traffic accident with P while driving in Massachusetts. P brought an action against E in the proper U.S. district court in Massachusetts for personal injuries and property damages in the amount of $80,000. A Massachusetts statute permits an action against the owner of a motor vehicle who has loaned the car to the person who was driving it when the incident occurred. E has filed a timely FRCP 12(b)(2) motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction. How should the district court rule on that motion?

(A) The district court should grant the motion since, in the absence of additional facts, it appears that the exercise of jurisdiction would violated the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.
(B) The district court should grant the motion since, in the absence of additional facts, it appears that the exercise of jurisdiction would violate the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment.
(C) The district court should deny the motion under the standards of FRCP 4(k)(2), which permits the exercise of nationwide service of process in such cases.
(D) The district court should deny the motion since E caused an effect in Massachusetts.

Delivery’s truck driver, Matt, was killed when his vehicle collided with Sammy’s car. Sammy has filed a diversity action against Delivery in federal district court in New Mexico, seeking personal injury damages in the amount of $200,000. Sammy also joined Nexus Cars, the manufacturer of Sammy’s car, under a manufacturing defect theory, because Sammy’s brakes failed during the collision. Delivery’s truck was badly damaged in the accident, so Delivery filed a cross-claim against Nexus Cars. May Nexus Cars make a claim for contribution against Delivery in the same action?

A. No, contribution claims are premature until judgment in the underlying action. Thus, Nexus Cars cannot make a cross-claim against Delivery for contribution under Rule 13(g).
B. Yes, Delivery became an “opposing party” by claiming against Nexus Cars, making Nexus Cars’ contribution claims against Delivery a compulsory counterclaim.
C. Yes, Although Nexus Cars cannot make a counterclaim for contribution because its contribution claim is premature until judgment in the underlying action, Rule 13(g) expressly permits Nexus Cars to file a cross-claim against Delivery.
D. Yes, Nexus Cars can file a contribution claim against Delivery either as a counterclaim or a cross-claim because Nexus Cars’ contribution claim is mature.

For those who have not passed yet, don’t be discouraged. You must look to February 2015 to get ready to take the bar exam again.
You must pass the bar exam and get it behind you.

The week after Thanksgiving is a good place to take the time to think about how to pass the bar exam and the mechanics of how you should study and prepare.

The February 2015 Bar Exam: The Thanksgiving Weekend: Do You Know Where Your Bar Exam Books Are?

Sign up for our Small Group Workshop/Seminar in Miami and in Albany, NY at www.barprofessors.com.

For those who must retake the bar exam in February 2015, this weekend must be the time to pick up your bar exam books and start studying for a successful bar exam result. You have 3 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 Bar Professors’ tutor. There is obviously something about the way you study or how you study that is not producing results for you.

The July 2014 Bar Exam Results: California’s Bar Exam Statistics

Sign up for our Small Group Workshop/Seminar in Miami and in Albany, NY at www.barprofessors.com.

The State Bar of California’s Committee of Bar Examiners reported that 48.6 percent of the applicants passed the July 2014 General Bar Examination (GBX).

Preliminary statistical analyses show that of the 8,504 applicants who took the GBX, 73.1 percent were first-time takers. The passing rate for the 6,220 first-time applicants was 61 percent overall. The passing rate for the 2,284 applicants repeating the examination was 14 percent overall.

Preliminary statistical analyses show the first-time and repeater percent passing the GBX (rounded to whole numbers) by law school type as follows

California ABA: First time takers: 69%, repeat takers 23%
Out of State ABA: First time takers: 60%, repeat takers 14%
California Accredited but not ABA: First time takers: 33%, repeat takers 8%
Unaccredited Fixed Facility: First time takers: 24%, repeat takers 2%
Unaccredited Correspondence: First time takers: 29%, repeat takers 6%
Unaccredited Distance Learning: First time takers: 19%, repeat takers 4%

From the numbers stated, it is clear that the repeat takers tumbled down to record lows. Repeat takers absolutely must get a Bar Professors’ tutor to help them pass.

The July 2014 Bar Exam Results: Why Your MBE Scores Went Down

Sign up for our Small Group Workshop/Seminar in Miami on November 15th and 16th at www.barprofessors.com.

Many of the student inquiries to BarProfessors nationwide, who were 2x and 3x time bar takes, indicated to us that their MBE scores dropped an average of 5 to 8 points, and in some cases 12 to 15 points. To our knowledge, this has never happened in recent MBE times. So what was the cause and effect?

The MBE is going through several small reconstructions. There are longer fact patterns, single questions, fact based answers, less scale points, not revealing students’ raw scores, and, now, an additional tested subject, Federal Civil Procedure, which is a cross-over subject. These facts contributed to the lower MBE scores as well as the over-all lower bar pass rate nationwide. The Florida July 2014 bar pass rate was 71% - down from an average of 75%. Last week, Nevada’s results came out; the pass rate was 57% - down from an average of 65%.

This is the “new” MBE reality.

In light of this information, you should retain a Bar Professors’ MBE tutor now.

The July 2014 Bar Exam Results: Repeat Florida Bar Exam Takers: A Bar Professors’ Plan for Success

Please look at our seminars, MBE programs and Bar Exam Tutors at www.barprofessors.com.

Florida repeat bar exam takers should be very concerned with their ability to pass the Florida Bar Exam for a second, third or multiple times.

As we have shown through our blog, the repeat bar exam taker numbers are substantially lower than first time takers. Absent a very structured study bar exam plan, many of the repeat bar exam takers will repeatedly fail the bar until they just give up on their dream of becoming a lawyer. As a law professor, I know too many students in this heart-breaking category. They are devastated with their failure beyond comprehension. They are literally paralyzed with indecision, depression and uncertainty about their career and, more importantly, they question their own ability to pass the bar.

My advice is to start with a very intensive structured plan. Obtain a Bar Professors Florida bar exam tutor and, more importantly, believe you will pass. Above all else, do not prepare for the exam as you did the first time. You have to change your approach with a Bar Professors' plan for success.

The July 2014 Bar Exam Results: The MBE Push Back and the Lowered Scale Scores

Please look at our seminars, MBE programs and Bar Exam Tutors at www.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.

However, in this bar cycle the MBE results were devastating. The lower MBE scores across the board from every state has pushed down bar exam pass rates significantly in many states. For example, Florida’s pass rates are routinely 74%-75%. We’ve seen it as high as 77%. This bar cycle the Florida pass rate spiraled down to 71%.

Looking at the clues, the NCBE has obviously restructured and rescored the MBE. Although, the NCBE has given a very convoluted explanation as to why it no longer gives raw scores, the raw scores have been eliminated, so we can’t calculate the scaled scores. For a standard bar cycle in the past, scored scores have varied from 15-20 points. This bar cycle, the scaled scores seem to have been recalculated, and, possibly lowered. Without knowing the raw scores, we can only guess what the scaled scores were. In talking with students and evaluating their scores, it seems certain that the scores across the country have been lowered by about 5 points.

The hardest hit group is the repeat bar exam taker. They have been the ones who desperately needed an extra 5 points in order to pass the MBE.

In addition to the recalculation of the scaled scores, we will see Federal Civil Procedure on February 2015’s bar cycle, making the February 2015 MBE a nightmare for repeat takers.

For repeat takers taking the February 2015 bar exam you should start preparing now. You must retain a Florida bar exam tutor. Trying and preparing the same way has produced negative results. Repeat takers in Florida and elsewhere pass at a percentage lower than 40%. Why risk this result again? Retain a Bar Professors’ Florida bar exam tutor to help you pass in February 2015.

The July 2014 Bar Exam Results: The MBE or Essays, When You Fail the Florida Bar Exam

Please look at our seminars, MBE programs and Bar Exam Tutors at www.barprofessors.com.

What happens if you only pass one section of the bar but fail the overall bar? Should you sit for that section that you failed or do you take the entire bar exam over again? I think it depends on which section you passed. I will use Florida as my test case. In this possible scenario, say you pass the Florida section but fail the MBE. Should you take the Florida section again to get carry-over points for your MBE score?

I think it depends on what your MBE score is. I usually tell my students that you have to stay competitive in the MBE and let your extra points on the Florida section pull you over the top. It is my experience that many of the students who pass the bar, do not pass the MBE or only have a 1-5 point pass on the MBE. That is why I think doing well on the Florida essays for those extra overage points can help you pass the overall bar, even if you do not pass the MBE.

First, evaluate your scores. Unfortunately, the NCBE has decided, not to give you a raw score or to list how you did in each subject. This is of a great disadvantage to the repeat taker, since the repeat taker does not know if he has a weak or strong testing subject. But we do know, that in the past, the scaled score was anywhere between 12-18 points. So, you can approximate how you did, percentage wise, on the MBE. The closer you are to the magic 65%, the better you are to make improvements in the MBE for an outright 136 or above.

Evaluate your essay scores. Did you pass the essays with a large margin? If you did, it’s an easier decision to make – you obviously write well and 3 more essays won’t freak you out. I think that if you sharpen up your writing with some more practice essays, you could get maybe another 5-10 points to bring over to your MBE scores. If you passed with only points to spare, you may not be able to pass another 3 more essays.

That’s the pros and cons of your situation. You must make the decision for yourself. Of course, it is easier to concentrate on only one section of the bar and if you think you can pull up your score on one section alone, then go for that one section alone. But you want to make sure that your second attempt is your last attempt. So do anything and everything to make that happen.
Don’t do anything rash or rush your decision making.

I also believe that once you fail the bar that you would better spend your money on a private tutor, if a repeater is to spend any more money in the process. It is expensive, but working one on one with a qualified (and I mean qualified) tutor will push you over the finish line. To me, no price is too much to get you to your goal and start your life as a lawyer. A private tutor can help with the subject material, motivate you and keep up your confidence. Bar Professors, as a Florida bar tutor and an MBE tutor, has had much success with Florida repeat takers.

The July 2014 Bar Exam Results: Repeat Florida Bar Exam Takers: What Does Your Score Really Mean

Please look at our seminars, MBE programs and Bar Exam Tutors at www.barprofessors.com.

As you know, taking the Florida bar exam will be a challenging experience for all repeat bar exam takers. However, you must review and understand the breakdown of your scores. There are some important indicators as it relates to your July 2014 bar exam scores.
Let’s first start with the MBE. If you made below a scaled 125, that’s a clear indication that you lack the requisite knowledge of the subject matter, that you do not understand the methodology of the MBE and that you are not reading critically to obtain the proper factual analysis. You will not be able to score any higher on the MBE on your next bar exam if you do not get help. In light of this, you should retain a Bar Professors Florida bar tutor. Bar Professors will help you understand the methodology and the critical analysis of the MBE.

Next, is the Florida essays. Students score low on the Florida essays because they do not read and analyze each essay using the line by line approach. If you score below a 65 on each essay, you are not raising all discussable issues and, therefore, leaving much needed points on the table. Another common problem on the Florida essays, is an applicant’s failure to analyze each and every issue he does raise. Again, you should retain a Bar Professors Florida bar tutor. Bar Professors will teach you how to approach the essays to receive the maximum points on each essay.

The July 2014 Florida Bar Exam Results: Retaining a Florida Bar Exam Tutor for Repeat Takers

Please look at our seminars, MBE programs and Bar Exam Tutors at www.barprofessors.com.

We have been talking with students every day since the bar exam results came out. The questions we’ve been asked more frequently is “what should I do if I was unsuccessful on the Florida Bar Exam?” First, let the shock of failing the bar subside with a few days of reflection. Clearly, this may be one of your greatest disappointments, but don’t let it control or define who you are. You can pass the bar exam in February 2015. Get right back up and say, “I will pass in February 2015.

Do not repeat the same class, study plan or approach you used the last time. It did not work. Coming close on the bar is good only in horse shoes. One size does not fit all. Hard work and having a study plan and study strategy will pay off. Say to yourself, “I will be a lawyer.”

You want to get the bar exam behind you and start your new life as a lawyer. Don’t dither or waste time with the “what ifs”. Stay focused and true to your goal to pass.

Obtaining a Bar Professors Florida bar exam tutor will help you pass. Many students who are repeat bar takers need a bar exam coach to help them improve their writing and analytical skills so they can properly navigate through the Florida bar exam. Remember, the Florida bar exam is unique and more difficult to pass than other jurisdictions. This structured, personalized program is the key to passing the bar for repeat takers.

Above all, never give up.

The July 2014 Florida Bar Exam Results: Repeat Florida Bar Exam Takers: Why Did You Fail And How Bar Professors Can Help You

Please look at our seminars, MBE programs and Bar Exam Tutors at www.barprofessors.com.

Most law students fail the Florida Bar Exam for three major reasons:

1. Repeat Bar Takers revert back to bad writing habits and poor analytical skills developed in law school

Under the pressures of the bar exam, many students revert back to bad habits. These bad habits allowed them to graduate from law school, but will be the kiss of death on the bar. Some of the bad habits include, not organizing your answer, no line by line analysis and not answering the call of the question.

Bar Professors will teach you the skills to analyze both the essays and the MBE, with improvement on better writing analysis.

2. Repeat Bar Takers have poor preparation and time management skills

Many law students start their bar preparation entirely too late, leaving most in a rush mode. For the upcoming February 2015 bar, your preparation should begin earlier rather than later. You should allow yourself 5 to 6 hours per day for studying. But more importantly, studying correctly is the key. You need to write and answer many essays and MBE questions. Your answers must be evaluated by a private tutor.

Bar Professors puts each student on a two week schedule so that the student is evaluated frequently. In addition, Bar Professors evaluates every essay the student writes and every MBE exam the student takes, looking for areas in which the student can improve.

3. Repeat Bar Takers don’t really believe that they will pass

You must have a belief that you will pass. Get rid of all negative thoughts, people and things. You must truly believe that you will pass. You must say this every single day prior to the bar and you must have the confidence to succeed.

Bar Professors know that taking the bar exam as a repeat taker can be an isolating experience. Bar Professors helps the student keep motivated and confident through interaction with the Florida bar tutor.

The July 2014 Florida Bar Exam Results: Repeat Florida Bar Exam Takers: A Review of Your Bar Exam Scores

Please look at our seminars, MBE programs and Bar Exam Tutors at www.barprofessors.com.

The Florida bar exam results have come out and all the repeat takers have gotten their letter telling them the breakdown of the scores. Here is the way the grading is done in Florida.

Grading the Florida Bar Exam

The MBE & Florida sections are weighted equally on the Florida Bar Exam. This is called the “overall method”. (Rule 4-25(a)). A combined weighted score of 136 is required to pass the Florida Bar Exam. It doesn’t matter if your score in one section or the other is below the 136 – it’s the average score that matters. So basically you can fail the FL or the MBE section and still pass the FL bar exam if your overall score is at least 136.
If you fail one section of the bar and choose to re-take only that one section in the next examination, you must score the 136 points or higher on that section. The Florida Board of Bar Examiners calls this the “individual method”. (Rule 4-25(b)). Your chances of passing are slightly lower than re-taking the entire bar again.

If an applicant attains a passing scaled score on only 1 part and elects to take the overall method of the General Bar Examination as described above, the previous passing status will not be replaced by a failing status if the applicant fails to achieve a passing score on a subsequent submission effort. (Rule 4-25.1).

Each examination paper produced by an applicant on the General Bar Examination will be separately graded. The scores of each section of Part A will be converted to a common scale by a recognized statistical procedure so that each section is equally weighted. The sum of the converted section scores is the total score for Part A. All total scores attained by the applicants on Part A are converted to the same distribution as their Multistate Bar Examination (MBE) scaled scores. MBE scores (Part B) are the scaled scores on the MBE provided by the National Conference of Bar Examiners. Scaled scores are used in order to ensure that the standard of measurement of competence from examination to examination is not affected by the difficulty of the particular test or the ability of that particular group as distinguished from the general population of applicants. Rule 4-26.1

On the Florida portion of the bar, each essay is worth 100 points for a 300 point total. The multiple choice questions are worth 100 points total, so each question is approximately 1 point each. There are usually 10 experimental questions. The average essay score is around 40 points, requiring you to get your remaining points on the multiple choice questions.

Depending on the difficulty of the essay question and the average grade, the Board of Bar Examiners may adjust your score either downward or upward. There is a school of thought that a bar taker should hope for a difficult question so that the average grade is lower – thereby requiring the Bar Examiners to adjust upward. If the essay is an easy one, usually the average score is higher, thus requiring a downward adjustment. The Board does not adjust the multiple choice questions – there are what they are and the point totals do not change.

Review your bar scores and ask yourself how you can improve your scores when you retake the bar exam in February. Obtaining a Bar Professors Florida bar exam tutor will help you pass. Many students who are repeat bar takers need a bar exam coach to help them improve their writing and analytical skills so they can properly navigate through the Florida bar exam. Remember, the Florida bar exam is unique and more difficult to pass than other jurisdictions. This structured, personalized program is the key to passing the bar for repeat takers.

The July 2014 Florida Bar Exam Results: Retaining a Florida Bar Exam Tutor for Repeat Takers

Please look at our seminars, MBE programs and Bar Exam Tutors at www.barprofessors.com.

We have been talking with students all day Monday,. The questions we’ve been asked more frequently is “what should I do if I was unsuccessful on the Florida Bar Exam?” First, let the shock of failing the bar subside with a few days of reflection. Clearly, this may be one of your greatest disappointments, but don’t let it control or define who you are. You can pass the bar exam in February 2015. Get right back up and say, “I will pass in February 2015.”

Ok, now let’s start. Do not repeat the same class, study plan or approach you used the last time. It did not work. Coming close on the bar is good only in horse shoes. One size does not fit all. Hard work and having a study plan and study strategy will pay off. Say to yourself, “I will be a lawyer.”

You want to get the bar exam behind you and start your new life as a lawyer. Don’t dither or waste time with the “what ifs”. Stay focused and true to your goal to pass.

Obtaining a Bar Professors Florida bar exam tutor will help you pass. Many students who are repeat bar takers need a bar exam coach to help them improve their writing and analytical skills so they can properly navigate through the Florida bar exam. Remember, the Florida bar exam is unique and more difficult to pass than other jurisdictions. This structured, personalized program is the key to passing the bar for repeat takers.

Above all, never give up.

The July 2014 Florida Bar Exam Results: The Florida Bar Exam Results will be Coming out Today

Please look at our seminars, MBE programs and Bar Exam Tutors at www.barprofessors.com.

The Florida Bar Exam Results for July 2014 will come out today, on Monday, September 22nd. There is no magical time it comes out, although the results usually come out around 10 am. The results came out around 9 am one year, another year, around noon – so anywhere around 9:30 to 12 noon is your window to keep hitting the refresh button.

Florida releases the numbers, not the names of the applicants and the site reveals just pass or fail of both Part A (the Florida section) and Part B (the MBE section) and the overall pass or fail. When you look up your number there will be 4 columns: your number, pass, pass, pass. The last pass is your ticket for your law license. You can fail a section of the Florida bar, and with enough carry over points, you can pass overall. So you will see some scores, like fail, pass, pass or pass, fail, pass. That’s ok, because that applicant has passed the Florida bar exam. Look at the final column and you’ll know whether you passed or failed.

The Florida Board of Bar Examiners also releases the passing rate of the law schools, too, later in the afternoon. The Florida Board of Bar Examiners releases the passing rate of the law school to the law school first. Later that day, the Florida bar examiners then releases the passing rate of the law schools to the public. Florida only releases the first time taker rate and not the repeat takers rate, and not the overall pass rate.

This will be a day of joy for some and difficulty for others. For those who pass, enjoy this exciting and great accomplishment. Go out and party with family and friends. You deserve it.

For those who were unsuccessful, do not feel dejected. Have a good cry and start thinking about the next bar exam. Get right back up and say, “I will pass in February 2015.” Hard work and having a study plan and study strategy will pay off. Say to yourself, “I will be a lawyer.”

Also a bit of advice; make sure you refresh at least once. Last bar cycle, for the February 2014 bar results, students thought they failed because the July 2014 results had appeared first, but once refreshed, the February 2014 results appeared. I had too many students thinking they failed in the morning, but, after refreshing the page, realized they had passed later in the day.

Good luck to those students waiting in Florida.

The July 2014 Bar Exam Results: Missouri Statistics and the Lower MBE Scores

Please look at our seminars, MBE programs and Bar Exam Tutors at www.barprofessors.com.


There have been rumblings that the MBE was much harder than last year and that the pass rates will dip this year. Missouri is the first state that really gives us the information we need to see how the other states will fall out.

Missouri has released its bar exam results for July 2014. The pass rate is 84.8%. The pass rate for first time takers was 87.5%. The pass rate for second time takers was 30%. The pass rate for third time takers was 42%.

For those keeping track, here was the statistics from last year: The pass rate was 88.6%. The pass rate for first time takers was 90.5%. The pass rate for second time takers was 46.7. The pass rate for third time takers was 33.3%. The overall pass rate went down by 2% and the first time pass rate went down by 3%. It seems like many states’ pass rates are down by about 2 -4% pass rate – was it the MBE that is bringing the pass rates down?

Let’s move on the MBE pass rates coming out of Missouri.

For the overall takers, the MBE average was 143.22. For first time takers, the MBE average was 144.12 For second time takers, the MBE average was 125. 11. For the third time takers, the MBE average was 128.25. The total average was 143.51.

Here are the statistics from last year: For first time takers, the MBE average was 146.89. For second time takers, the MBE average was 129.05. For the third time takers, the MBE average was 126.43. The total average was 146.01.

There you have it – a clear 2-3% difference from last year. The MBE does appear to be lower this year.

Federal Civil Procedure, the February 2015 Bar Exam, and the Bar Professors Seminars and Tutorials on the MBE and Federal Civil Procedure

Please look at our seminars, MBE programs and Bar Exam Tutors at www.barprofessors.com.

The MBE has undergone a dramatic reconstruction with Federal Civil Procedure to be tested starting on the February 2015 MBE. The exam will add 27 multiple-choice questions in the area of Federal Civil Procedure, while the remaining subjects will be reduced to 27 questions each, with contracts, having 28 questions. The total number of questions tested will be 200. This change is the most significant in the last 30 years. These changes will present new challenges for the repeat bar taker in strategy, approach, preparation and test taking techniques. In response, Bar Professors has redesigned its instructional delivery, addressing this important subject in its curriculum development. This addition and reapproach will help the repeat taker be most effective on the MBE. For Federal Civil Procedure, 75% of the questions will cover: jurisdiction and venue, pretrial procedures and motions and 25% of the questions address federal courts, appeals and review, jury trials and verdicts and judgments. This addition to our MBE Program will include:

A detailed outline addressing tested areas
• One-on-one instructional tutorial
• Federal Civil Procedure multiple-choice questions
• Feedback on factual and legal analysis that “turn” the call of the question
• Specific test taking techniques unique to Federal Civil Procedure

Bar Professors has created a specific program for its students addressing this newly tested subject. Please go to our website, http://www.barprofessors.com for more information.

In addition, Bar Professors will be conducting MBE seminars, with special emphasis on Federal Civil Procedure, in the fall. Please go to our website, http://www.barprofessors.com to sign up for these important and valuable seminars.

An MBE Tutor is so important to the repeat taker. Bar Professors can help you overcome the difficulty of the MBE test and help you to a successful score.
