Repeat Bar Exam Takers: Why Did You Fail And How the MBE Testing Institute Can Help You


Most law students fail the 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 answering the call of the question, failure to understand what the MBE question is asking you..

The MBE Testing Institute will teach you the skills to analyze the MBE, with improvement on better 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 hours per day for studying. But more importantly, studying correctly is the key. You need analyze and answer many MBE questions. Your answers must be evaluated by a private tutor.

The MBE Testing Institute puts each student on a two week schedule so that the student is evaluated frequently. In addition, the MBE Testing Institute evaluates 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.

The MBE Testing Institute knows that taking the bar exam as a repeat taker can be an isolating experience. The MBE Testing Institute  helps the student keep motivated and confident through interaction with the Florida bar tutor.

 
An MBE Tutor is important to the repeat taker.  The MBE Testing Institute can help you overcome the difficulty of the MBE test and help you to a successful score.

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



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.

For the February 2015 MBE, Federal Civil Procedure will be tested with 27 MBE questions.  For the Florida  repeat bar taker, retaining an MBE Testing Insitute’s’ MBE Tutor will make the difference.  The MBE Testing Institute has designed an  MBE Program to improve your MBE score as a repeat taker.  Enrollment starts on September 15th and will end on September 30th.
