To recap what we have talked about concerning the MBE, here is the list of progressions you must follow.
1. Read the call of the question first.
2. Read the fact pattern carefully and critically
3. Try to decide the issue after you read the fact pattern and before you look at the answers.
4. Once you have figured out the issue, think of the black letter law and the distinctions.
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.
7. Remember that in order for the answer choice to be correct, it must be correct in all of its answer.
8. After you are done with the question, let it go and go to the next answer.

The February 2014 Bar Exam: The Answer Choices in the MBE
Please look at our essay writing, MBE programs and Bar Exam Tutors at www.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% in order to pass the MBE.

The February 2014 Bar Exam: The Fact Pattern in the MBE
Please look at our essay writing, MBE programs and Bar Exam Tutors at www.barprofessors.com
After you have read the call of the question, you now must read the fact pattern.
Do not read the fact pattern like you were reading a novel. You must read the fact pattern critically. Absorb every word, figure out the parties and the cause of actions, making notes, if you have to, on the side of the examination page. If you see dates and numbers, make sure you highlight them or write them down. An abundance of dates probably means something important, especially with contracts and formation. Sometimes property questions are so convoluted, making a tiny map of who own what can help you understand the fact pattern.
The point I am making is that you must read carefully and deliberately.
After you read the fact pattern, re-read the call of the question to make sure that you understand what the call of the question is asking you now that you’ve read the fact pattern. If you need to, you may want to again look at the fact pattern to make sure you understand what is being asked before you examine the multiple choice answers.
Remember, you have 1.8 minutes for each question. You must read quickly and carefully.

The February 2014 Bar Exam: Today Marks 4 Weeks to the Bar Exam
Please look at our essay writing, MBE programs and Bar Exam Tutors at www.barprofessors.com
Today marks 1 month to the February bar exam. Today is a good day to think about where you are in terms of your studying. By this time, you should be well into knowing and understanding the law. Of course, there will be areas where you are still weak, but, overall, do you know enough law to make it through the bar exam? If not, hit those review books and try to memorize the law as much as you are able to in the next 4 weeks.
The next 4 weeks are crucial to your run up to the bar exam. Once you have the law down, you need to practice – and practice alot. Go through your practice essays and your MBE questions like the bar exam is tomorrow. Practicing your essays, PTs and MBEs will ensure that you know the law and you know how to apply the law. Application of the law will be the difference between passing and failing.
Resist those voices of people who tell you horror stories, or want you to stop studying and power down.. Accept that you have 30 days of study ahead of you. In the scheme of your lifetime, the next 30 days are not a lot of time to get yourself ready or to sacrifice to get yourself ready. It’s worth your time to have a lifetime career as a lawyer.
It’s all about getting yourself ready for the best performance of your life in February. Keep your focus.
Happy Studying!!!

The February 2014 Bar Exam: Examining the Facts on the MBE
Please look at our essay writing, MBE programs and Bar Exam Tutors at www.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 February 2014 Bar Exam: Practice MBE Timing
Please look at our essay writing, MBE programs and Bar Exam Tutors at www.barprofessors.com
Looking at the timing of the MBE, you must answer 100 questions in 3 hours, both in the morning and the afternoon. Breaking it down further, you must answer each question in 1.8 minutes, or 17 questions in a half hour and 34 questions in an hour. You must be able to sustain that fast pace.
As you practice, keep that pace in mind. It is imperative that you finish all 200 questions. You do not want to leave any questions unanswered or unread and lose valuable points. As you know, even 1 point or 2 points can mean the difference between passing and failing.
Not only do you need to answer the questions, you need to answer them correctly.
How do you build up your time and accuracy? In the beginning of this process, start with 17 questions first – note your time and your accuracy. As you get better at your accuracy, your time will also get better. Once you feel that you are comfortable with the 17 questions, then, proceed to doing 34 questions in one sitting. Again, notice how long it took you and your accuracy. Then move up doing 68 questions in 2 hours, until finally you are working at 3 hour stretches.
You must get comfortable and condition yourself to sitting for 3 hours, working on MBE questions, without losing your focus or concentration. In the last couple of weeks, prior to the bar exam, you should be working on 3 hour blocks for the MBE.
Once you get to the bar exam, write down the time for 34 questions, 68 questions or break it down in half hours, i.e. 17, 34, 51 etc, so you can glance at your sheet and know that you are on schedule to answer all 100 questions.

The February 2014 Bar Exam: Answer Every Question on the MBE
Please look at our essay writing, MBE programs and Bar Exam Tutors at www.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 February 2014 Bar Exam: Practicing MBE Questions
Please look at our essay writing, MBE programs and Bar Exam Tutors at www.barprofessors.com
In order to do well on the MBE, you must know the fine distinctions of the law. You can study those fine distinctions by studying your outlines and then by working on questions.
It is not enough for you to work on the questions, review the answers and then move on. You must understand why you picked the right answer or the wrong answer. That is why you must read the explanation carefully, reading each answer choice explanation, whether right or wrong.
If you missed the question, ask yourself why you missed the question. Did you miss it because you didn’t know the law, didn’t know the facts or didn’t know the “trick” of the question? Sometimes with cursory reading of the fact pattern, you miss certain clues of law, certain facts that now seem important or even a confusion of what actually happened in the fact pattern. Sometimes you misapply the facts to the law.
Analyzing the question and the answer choices will help you understand if there is a pattern to your misses or if there are holes in your analysis.

The February 2014 Bar Exam: The Essays and The Bar Exam Graders
Please look at our essay writing, MBE programs and Bar Exam Tutors at www.barprofessors.com
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 term 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.

The February 2014 Bar Exam: Beating Negativity
Please look at our essay writing, MBE programs and Bar Exam Tutors at www.barprofessors.com
We’ve talked about positivity and staying confident, but, sometimes, we have to also beat back negativity from friends and family. They might mean well, but, instead, drive us to distraction with their “well-meaning” negativity.
We have all heard stories of the worst nightmares of taking the bar – a student’s father dies, a student gets sick or injured, a student gets stuck in a massive traffic jam the morning of the bar exam, a student has taken the bar exam 100 times. I can go on and on with all the terrible things that can happen to a student preparing to take the bar exam or on the day of the bar exam.
Why do people want to tell you these stories? Perhaps they are well-meaning, perhaps they have a more sinister reason for relating these stories. Regardless of the reasons why, you have to actively beat back those people who want to bring you down. Try to avoid those people who may not want you to succeed – i.e. a friend who wants you to go out and party or tell you that you do not need to study so hard. If you can’t avoid them, tell them you must study and that you expect them to be supportive. Tell the “story tellers” to keep their stories for later (and preferably never) and that you don’t need to hear anything negative.
Tell your friends and family that this is important to you and your future. Tell them exactly what you must do in order to pass and tell them you will be unavailable for the duration of the preparation. Family and friends who love you, will understand your commitment and will take joy in your success.
Avoid negativity. Don’t let anyone bring you down or allow yourself to get depressed or be unhappy. You must keep confident and positive all through this preparation period and you will be that much closer to being a lawyer.

The February 2014 Bar Exam: It’s a Marathon of Study
Please look at our essay writing, MBE programs and Bar Exam Tutors at www.barprofessors.com
I always tell my students that studying for the bar is more like a marathon than a sprint. I want you to compare it to your favorite sport that you play. Do you remember how hard it was to pick it up in the beginning? You had to keep at it and practice every day before you started to improve and get better at your game. You worked at that game until you became a true proficient at it.
That game you mastered long ago is similar to how you must master and pass the bar exam. Every day you chip away at the large amount of material, taking manageable bites until you have mastered that bite and go onto the next one. As someone has once said, how do you eat an elephant – with one bite at a time. In other words, take smaller sections of the vast material, learn it and then take another section of the bar exam and learn that section, until, before you know it, you have learned the law, practiced your questions and are ready to sit for the bar exam.
Always stay in the moment of that day, because if you look too far ahead, you will waste precious time worrying about the large amount of material you must learn or how fast the time is ticking before the bar exam.
I tell my students that taking the bar exam is not a sprint. You cannot do everything in one day. Do not drive yourself to exhaustion thinking that you must skip meals, skip the gym, skip sleeping in order to prepare yourself for the bar exam. You cannot run down your body or your mind. Take regular breaks so that you can come back refreshed and ready to learn.
Remember, it was the tortoise that won the race, and not the hare. And to quote the tortoise, “slowly does it every time”.

I always tell my students that studying for the bar is more like a marathon than a sprint. I want you to compare it to your favorite sport that you play. Do you remember how hard it was to pick it up in the beginning? You had to keep at it and practice every day before you started to improve and get better at your game. You worked at that game until you became a true proficient at it.
That game you mastered long ago is similar to how you must master and pass the bar exam. Every day you chip away at the large amount of material, taking manageable bites until you have mastered that bite and go onto the next one. As someone has once said, how do you eat an elephant – with one bite at a time. In other words, take smaller sections of the vast material, learn it and then take another section of the bar exam and learn that section, until, before you know it, you have learned the law, practiced your questions and are ready to sit for the bar exam.

The February 2014 Bar Exam: Positivity
Please look at our essay writing, MBE programs and Bar Exam Tutors at www.barprofessors.com
I am of the firm belief that you must stay positive as you prepare for the exam bar. I have dealt with many people who have failed the bar exam, many who have taken it multiple times, and those students, who think that this is only a small bump in the road and attack their exam with confidence and positivity, will end up being successful on the bar exam. I have counseled many students who don’t truly, absolutely think they will pass the bar exam and it becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy. A depressed attitude will drag you down like nothing else will – even if you know the material.
I tell my students this story. I was working with a student who did not particularly do well in law school – he was always on the bubble. When I began working with him, I remember losing my patience with him over how he wrote his essays. I told him his essays were junk and he needed to change his whole approach to writing and studying or he would fail. He looked at me and told me he was going to pass the exam but he knew he needed help to do so. He took my criticism to heart and came to my office almost every day as we worked towards his goal. He was coachable and he was positive. I used to tell him that he took to studying the bar exam like a duck to water.
The night after the essay portion of the bar exam, he sent me this wild email about how well he did on the essays and that he knew he passed the exam (not just the essays, but the entire exam). He went into the MBE with a positive outlook and with confidence and he ended up passing both portions of the bar exam with scores that were higher than we ever thought possible. When he came to my office, to celebrate, other professors were shocked that he passed the bar exam. It was his positive outlook on the bar exam that made him a lawyer.
You can either be someone who passes the bar exam or someone who doesn’t. It’s your choice to make. Tell yourself every day that you will pass the bar exam and believe it.

The February 2014 Bar Exam: Stay Motivated
Please look at our essay writing, MBE programs and Bar Exam Tutors at www.barprofessors.com
Along with your belief that you will pass and remaining positive, you must stay motivated. Studying for the bar exam is drudgery at its finest. Day-in and day-out, every day, minutes and hours pass by as you struggle to learn, review and to practice. Sometimes you wonder why you are putting yourself through this misery.
That is why you must stay motivated. What is your incentive to continue studying and to pass the bar exam? You went through 4 years of colleges and the last 3 years going to law school to come to this juncture in your life. Among a desire to do good for others and the love of the law, you went to law school mainly to provide a good living for yourself and/or for your family.
Don’t forget those reasons for why you went to law school, for why you are studying for the bar exam and why you need to pass and become the lawyer you have always wanted to be.
My advice is to not look at it from a longer time perspective – as in, its 7 weeks to the bar exam. Take one day at a time, following your study schedule and be satisfied with the gains you make from day to day. Motivate yourself to get through the material today, not tomorrow. Be happy about the progress you make today only. Then start afresh the next day. You’ll worry about tomorrow, when it comes. Motivation comes in small bites when you are studying for the bar exam.

The February 2014 Bar Exam: Be Definitive in Your Essay Answers
Please look at our essay writing, MBE programs and Bar Exam Tutors at www.barprofessors.com
Lawyers are always confident and definitive, even if they have a weak argument (and they know it). When you write out your essays, be definitive about your answer and your conclusion. Even if you are wrong, you may be able to get a point or two because your argument and conclusion were well stated. The bar examiners have the ability to give you points for your conclusion even if wrong, as long as it is well reasoned and the analysis flows.
Don’t forget that most cases you have read in law school (and cases you will work on when you become a lawyer) are in the gray area – a well reasoned argument will give you a victory for your client. There are no smoking guns in the practice of law. There usually are no right or wrong argument to make. As a lawyer, you just hope that the judge or jury sees that your argument is better than you opponent. It is how you, as a lawyer, interpret the facts of your case. This is similar to your bar exam essays.
Don’t be wishy-washy in your analysis or your conclusion. It makes lawyers unhappy to have to wade through either-or type of arguments and bar exam graders will be reluctant to give you points. You’ve probably learned in law school to put “probably” or “may” in your conclusion, i.e “Dan will probably be found guilty.” You will not do that as a lawyer and do o not do that in the bar exam – write, “Dan will be found guilty.” If you really don’t know the answer and you are reluctant to commit, then use words like, “likely”, i.e. “Dan will likely be found guilty.” It is must more effective than probably or possibly.
Remember, write like a lawyer – be confident and definitive in your bar exam answer.

The February 2014 Bar Exam: Have A Progression List for Every Subject
Please look at our essay writing, MBE programs and Bar Exam Tutors at www.barprofessors.com
For your essays, you must have a one page progression list for every subject your bar exam covers.
As you know, the pressure to perform well on the essays can be sometimes overwhelming. Some students have told me that on game day, when they open the exam booklet, they sometimes had a brain freeze and nothing would come out of their minds until they calmed down and began the writing process. Having a progression sheet of the major issues of each subject will enable you to recall what you must write out in a certain essay.
For example, let’s take contracts. You know that, regardless of the issue, if the essay is a contracts question, you start with determining if it’s a UCC or common law question. Then you must talk formation: offer, acceptance, consideration. Then you discuss defenses, i.e. statute of frauds, incapacity, etc.
Go through these major issues in every topic. Write out a one page outline or progression list and memorize them. Then, on essay day, you can recall your progression list and start writing, knowing that you will not forget any major issues.

The February 2014 Bar Exam: Answer the Call of the Question in the Order Given
Please look at our essay writing, MBE programs and Bar Exam Tutors at www.barprofessors.com
Many bar exam essays have specific issues in the call of the question that sets out what the bar examiners want you to answer. For example, in a torts question, the bar examiners want to know what the causes of actions are for a) Tom, b) Dick and c) Harry.
Each bar exam grader has a rubic that she follows when she grades her batch of essays. The rubic starts with a, then b, then c. Don’t make the bar exam grader’s job harder when she has to hunt for the answer because you started with Harry, then Tom, then Dick.
Your goal is to make it easy for the bar examiner to grade your essay and for you to get the maximum point total as you can get. If the bar examiner can’t find what she is looking for because you have mixed up the order of the call of the question, you may be cheating yourself out of hard-earned points because she can’t find it.
Follow and answer the call of the question exactly as written.

The February 2014 Bar Exam: Working Through Your Study Plan
Please look at our essay writing, MBE programs and Bar Exam Tutors at www.barprofessors.com
This is a good time of the year to remind you about your study plan. A study plan is imperative to pass a bar exam, whether you are taking it for the first time or you are a repeat bar taker. Make sure you have that study plan in place until the bar exam, which is 7 weeks away.
In order to pass the bar, you need two things: time-management and discipline. Sticking to a study plan will conquer both requirements. Thorough preparation is the key to passing the exam and having a plan in place will allow you to manage your time and using your discipline to stick to the study 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, do not ignore those subjects. All bar examinees have weak subjects. Spend time on those subjects as you would other subjects and just keep practicing.
Good luck in your studying.

The February 2014 Bar Exam: The Frequently Tested Subjects on the MBE
Please look at our essay writing, MBE programs and Bar Exam Tutors at www.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.

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 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.
