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.
Happy Studying!!!

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. The UBE & UBE Testing Institute 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.

There are 6 weeks until the bar exam. Where should you be today?
Follow Your Schedule
By this time you should have set a realistic work schedule that allows for lecture time, review time, practice time and relaxation time.
Maintain your concentration level by varying your study activities, i.e. if you are reading an outline and losing focus, start practicing questions.
Know Your Law
You should be trying to commit to memory the black letter law. Knowing the law means that you internalize the material in such a way that you truly “own” it and can spit it out on demand. This does not mean that you recognize the material or it seems familiar to you. The bar exam requires you to know the rules with precision and specificity and to have a solid understanding of the rules.
Continue to do practice questions, essays and performance tests.
Know Your State Bar Exam
You should know your bar exam like the back of your hand. Everyone must prepare for the MBE, but you should know the ins and outs of your state exam. Tailor your studies to your state exam.

Positivity will determine whether you pass or fail. You must stay positive as you prepare for the exam bar. Those 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. Those who don’t truly, absolutely think they will pass the bar exam will become a self-fulfilling prophesy of doom. A depressed attitude will drag you down like nothing else will – even if you know the material.
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.

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.
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.
Good luck in your studying.
