Sign up for our MBE Small Group One Day Workshop/Seminar in Naples and Miami at www.barprofessors.com.
Here is a suggested list that you might want to try as you continue to practice your bar exam essays.
Allocate your time for each question
Make sure that you understand how much time you have to write your essays. If you have 3 essays to do in 3 hours, then you must allocate 1 hour each for each of your 3 essays. The Bar Examiners know this. Do not attempt to write more than one hour for one essay, even if you know the subject of one essay better than the others – you do not want to short-change any essay.
When you start to read:
Begin with the call of the question. You want to understand what the Bar Examiners are asking you, prior to reading the fact pattern. This way, you can keep in mind the call of the question as you read through the fact pattern
On reading the question:
You must read “actively”. You want to identify the area of law and the legal relationship between the parties, circle or underline any amount of money, dates, locations, quantities, and ages. Also note key words such as “oral”, “written”, “minor”.
Outline your answer before writing
After reading your fact pattern, make sure you outline your answer so you can follow an organized pattern as you write.
Use your remaining time to write:
After writing your outline, write out your essay, using headings and sub headings so that you can make it easy for your grader to follow your essay.
