The NCBE Announces An Online Option For July 2021 Bar Exam

 

Bar Professors Provides Private/Online Tutoring for Repeat Takers for the UBE, North Carolina, Florida, Texas, the MBE, UBE, New York and California.

The NCBE announced that it will again offer jurisdictions the option to administer the bar exam remotely in July 2021 to help address health concerns associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and provide support for future legal professionals. The NCBE recognized that restrictions may still be in place this summer that would prevent jurisdictions from being able to offer an in-person exam in July.

As it did for the February 2021 exam, the NCBE will make a full set of bar exam materials available for remote administration in July on the same dates as the in-person administration (July 27–28, 2021). Each jurisdiction will select which delivery mode it will use for its administration.

In addition to supplying secure, high-quality exam content, the NCBE will equate the MBE, calculate scaled scores for the written components, and provide UBE and MBE score transfer services for both the in-person and the remote administrations.

Like this month’s upcoming bar exam—which is also being given in-person and remotely—the July remote exam will be a full-length Uniform Bar Exam, meaning that scores earned on that administration may be transferred within the 38 UBE jurisdictions. The National Conference also will score and scale the Multistate Bar Exam portion of the test,

Last summer, 30 states opted to give the bar exam in person in either July or September, with the remaining jurisdictions either giving the National Conference’s remote October test, designing their own online exam, or canceling the test altogether. Only 16 states are giving in-person exams on Feb. 23 and 24, and none of the 5 jurisdictions that adopted some form of emergency diploma privilege during the previous July bar exam cycle have opted to go that route again in February.

If you have failed the bar exam or are a foreign educated student, Bar Professors will help you. We have developed our virtual  programs for all students who will take the February or July bar exam. We are a one-on-one tutoring program that is remotely based, by telephone, by facetime, by Skype. We can help all repeat takers and foreign educated lawyers pass the bar exam.

Bar Professors has an extensive 3 volume book set for Florida, California and the UBE. This 3 volume set was written by attorneys and law professors who are experts in law and the bar exam.

Taking a Remote Online Bar Exam from Your Computer, Part 2

 

Bar Professors Provides Private/Online Tutoring for Repeat Takers for the UBE, North Carolina, Florida, Texas, the MBE, UBE, New York and California. 

We have talked about what you need to prepare to take your remote online bar exam from your computer.  Now it’s time to practice and to think about techniques you can use to make it easier to complete your essay questions.

Once the essay opens up on your computer, what should you do?  

1) Glance quickly through the essay so you can get a feel of what is happening. Then focus on the call of the question.  What are you being asked to do?

2) Start setting up you outline on the computer (in the area where your answer should be) based on the call of the question.  For example, if the call of the question asks, what causes of action can Plaintiff bring – make a heading for Plaintiff.  If it asks what are Defendant’s defenses, make a heading for Defendant.  You may change the presentation as you get more into the reading, but at least now you know where you are going.

3) Now it’s the time to start your serious reading.  As you move line by line, start identifying potential issues. Since you have no scrap paper, you will have to start listing them in your answer, putting the issues under your already made headings.  Again, you can change the presentation of your outline later, but this is the time to put all of your issues down in your first headings.

4) You can then start putting the issues in a more logical order and you can start writing out the issues. Also, remember that bar examiners love counter-arguments. 

5) As you start working the issues, make sure you incorporate the facts.  Bar examiners love factual analysis. Another reading will do the trick to make sure you have your facts for your analysis. That third reading may also allow you to find another issue or two that you missed on your second reading.

6) Keep writing and keep an eye on your time.  As we know from October, the essay will close after the time period ends (whether it’s an hour long essay, 30 minutes or 45 minutes).

Using this approach will help you keep your focus and organize your thinking about how you want to present the issues and the pertinent facts. Following this method will lessen the need to look or scroll back to the question. Practice this technique during your bar exam preparation so that it becomes second nature to you.

How to Write a Passing Essay

 

Bar Professors Provides Private/Online Tutoring for Repeat Takers for the UBE, North Carolina, Florida, Texas, the MBE, UBE, New York and California.

A survey of bar exam graders found that the single biggest mistake students make is not responding to the call of the question.

Remember to read the call of the question first. Then read the fact pattern with the call of the question in mind. Then you want to read the call of the question again to make sure that you understand what the bar examiners are looking for. Only then, should you start to write your outline and start writing your essay. Before you turn the page to the next essay, read the call of the question one last time to make sure you answered the call of the question completely and thoroughly. Then you can move on to your next essay.

Examining the Facts on the MBE

 

Bar Professors Provides Private/Online Tutoring for Repeat Takers for the UBE, North Carolina, Florida, Texas, the MBE, UBE, New York and California.

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.

3 Weeks Until the Bar Exam

 

Bar Professors Provides Private/Online Tutoring for Repeat Takers for the UBE, North Carolina, Florida, Texas, the MBE, UBE, New York and California.

Three weeks to the bar exam is a good time to evaluate how you are doing. You have enough time to now pinpoint your weak areas and enough time to change your schedule if you feel you’re spinning your wheels.

By now you should have done several hundred multistate questions, at least 15 state essays and at least 4 performance tests. If you haven’t done it, get busy. Change your schedule if you need to, work on your weak areas and keep testing. If you have, you are ready for the bar exam. You just need to keep working, stay cool and continue to test yourself.

Make sure you are peaking on exam day. Get up at 6 am or 7 am and start studying at 9 am until 12 pm, with no breaks, then study from 1 pm to 4 pm, with no breaks, You want to mimic the bar exam hours so you are at your peak at 9 am every day.

Don’t pretend you’re not nervous. Accept that it’s okay to be nervous. Channel that nervous energy properly by attacking your study schedule and transform your nerves into confidence.

One of the most important things to do during this 3 week period is not to doubt your abilities. You can pass this bar and you know it.

Taking an Online Bar Exam from Your Computer

 

Bar Professors Provides Private/Online Tutoring for Repeat Takers for the UBE, North Carolina, Florida, Texas, the MBE, UBE, New York and California.

In September/October, a large number of bar exam takers took a remote online bar exam from their computer, whether at home or some other location.  We now know that this is most likely not a one-time bar exam anomaly.  We are again seeing that many states will be holding a remote bar exam for February 2021.  As to after February, that decision will be state driven.

The September/October remote and online bar exam only administered half of the written exam.  For instance, the UBE consisted only of 3 MEE essays and 1 MPT.  The MBE was not given in any of the remote bar exams (which included Florida and California). Now, in February 2021, all the online bar exams will be fully administered – 6 essays, 2 MPTs for the UBE, and more importantly, the MBE exam will be given to the applicants.

For those who failed the September/October remote exam and for those who are taking the remote exam for the first time, you must prepare for an online exam and you must practice techniques that will help you succeed in February.

Here are some things to make sure you are successful in February.

 1)         The first thing to think about is the software issues. Is your computer ready for the software you must download?  Most states are using Examsoft.  Make sure you have the specifications necessary to download this software.  Do this now so you will not be too stressed as you move closer to the bar exam.  If necessary, you may have to buy or borrow someone’s computer.

2)         Learn how your state will administer the remote bar exam.  Will you have a split screen so that your essays appear on one side of your screen while you type out your answer on the other side of the screen? Will you have to scroll up and down or back and forth to write your essay?  Can you highlight as you read the essays?  These issues will be important so that you have an idea of what you are facing and to be able to practice with or without the tools you have.  You must learn how to use these functions as you practice your essay writing.

3)         You most likely will be without access to any scratch paper or note-taking as you read your essay.  You must practice doing without scratch paper and instead use your computer as your scratch paper/note taking as you see the issues. You need to become proficient at outlining or organizing your essay answer on the computer as you work through the essay. You must practice your techniques and become adept in this skill.

This is just a start to prepare yourself for the essay portion of the bar exam.  Once you figure out what your state’s software will entail, then you can begin practicing your essays in real time.
