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.

To law schools’ relief, the ABA has again rejected a
proposal to strengthen the bar pass rules that law schools must adhere to in
order to remain accredited. Only 88 delegates favored the measure while 334
were against it.
The ABA had argued that a tougher rule is necessary
to ensure law schools only admit students who are likely to pass the bar exam.
The vote comes as bar pass rates have plummeted in
many jurisdictions over the past four years, fueling concern that some schools
are admitting students they shouldn’t or are not doing enough to prepare them
for the bar exam. As we can see from the statistics we post every bar exam
cycle, states’ bar exam results have plummeted. Fewer than 41% of those who sat
for the California bar exam in July passed. The pass rate was 63% in New York.

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, MPTs 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 is
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.

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 ABA is once again trying to strengthen its bar
pass requirements for law schools.They
will consider a proposal to bolster the existing rule, requiring at least 75%
of a school’s graduates to pass the bar within 2 years of graduating or risk
losing accreditation. The ABA rejected the same proposal in February 2017 amid
concern from advocates who said it could imperil schools with a large
percentage of minority students, especially at a time when pass rates across
the country have plummeted.
Black and Hispanic students on average score lower
on the bar exam. While 52% of white takers passed the July 2016 bar exam, that
pass rate was 34% for Hispanics and 21% for African-American test takers,
according to a 2017 state bar report.
The NCBE favors the proposal, stating that law
students have the right to know what their chances are to pass the bar when
looking at a particular school.
The existing standard allows schools to meet the bar
pass threshold in 2 ways. Schools are in compliance as long as at least 75% of
graduates pass the bar exam within 5 years of leaving campus or if their 1st
time pass rate is no lower than 15% of the statewide average.
The proposed change eliminates the first-time pass
rate provision and shortens the time span to meet the 75% threshold from 5 to 2
years. Also, it requires schools to report bar pass rates on all graduates who
take the exam. The existing rule mandates that schools report data for at least
70% of graduates.
A study on repeat test taker by the NCBE found that
very few people take the bar exam more than 4 times, and the number of people
who continue to take the test beyond the 2-year post-graduation point is
negligible. Bar Professors disputes this claim, as most of our students have
taken the bar exam more than 4 times.
Schools reported data on nearly 98% of 2015
graduates who sat for the bar and more than 88% passed within 2 years,
according to a legal education council memo in support of the change. But
results varied by school. In total, 19 of the 203 ABA-accredited law schools
fell short of the 75% pass threshold over two years. 2 of those schools were in
California and 2 were part of Historically Black Colleges and Universities.
The standard is based on the notion that law schools
are supposed to admit people who are qualified and give them a program that
allows them to graduate and pass the bar. The bar pass standard is the best
measure of whether a school is doing that.

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.
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.

There are 5 weeks until the February 2019 bar exam.
Every day you must 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.
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”.
Make this your best 5 weeks ever and know that you
have put everything on the table to become a lawyer.

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 rubric that she follows
when she grades her batch of essays.The
rubric 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.

We have had a lot of our students ask us about the
North Carolina state specific portion of the UBE.Like New York when that state turned UBE,
North Carolina will have a quiz on state specific law for the students to pass
before they can get their license. All general applicants and transfer applicants
seeking licensure to practice law in North Carolina must successfully complete
the North Carolina State-Specific Component of the Uniform Bar Examination.
The North Carolina State-Specific Component is an
online course, covering the following 6 subject areas of the law:Estate Planning & Administration,
Criminal Law, Family Law, Real Estate, Torts, and Workers’ Compensation.The course contains video presentations for
each subject area.Each video is
approximately one hour in length.Each
subject area video presentation must be reviewed in its entirety. Upon
completion of each subject area video presentation, you will be presented with 3
quiz questions.You must answer all 3
questions correctly in order to advance to another subject area.If you do not answer all three questions
correctly, you will be required to review the subject area again in its
entirety and then successfully complete a new 3 question quiz. That’s all there
is to it.However, an important note is
that you can not provide or receive any assistance to complete this quiz nor
can you disseminate the link for assess to the course.
Our suggestion is to do the quiz after the bar exam and as you are waiting for your results. This way you will have no obstacles to licensure once you pass the UBE.

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.
Do not look at it from a longer time perspective –
as in, its 5 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.

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.
