The California bar is getting closer to being released.
Our students in California are starting to get excited and Friday can’t get
here quick enough. Try to relax – the
results will come in soon enough.
The MBE Testing Institute offers California bar exam private bar
tutorials. Don’t try the same method
again and again.
Obtaining an MBE Testing Institute California bar
exam tutor will help you pass. Many students who are repeat bar takers need a
bar exam coach to help them improve their writing and analytical skills so they
can properly navigate through the California bar exam. This structured,
personalized program is the key to passing the bar for repeat takers. One of
our students who could not get above a 118 on her MBE scored 139 and passed
after her third attempt.
The MBE Testing Institute also specializes in
tutoring foreign educated lawyers and LLM students.

The MBE scores have been systematically lower since
the NCBE has made its changes.
If you have read The MBE Testing Institute’s tweets and blogs, you know that the average
score on the MBE on the July bar exam fell 1.6 points from the previous year,
reaching its lowest level since 1988, according to data provided by the
National Conference of Bar Examiners. The mean score on the July bar exam was
139.9, down from 141.5 in July 2014.
In speaking with students, they feel the test is
harder because this is the first July when Civil Procedure has been tested in
“mass” numbers. The NCBE, however,
disputes this assessment, saying that the students did poorly across the board
in all 7 subjects.
We do know that performance on the bar exam has
continued to dip down to levels we have never seen and it appears that this is
not an aberration, but a new realty.
Look at your own state scores. Most states have also dipped below their July
2014 numbers, mainly because of the MBE. The repeat takers fare even worse. That 1.5 point variance is the difference
between pass and fail for some repeat takers.
The reality is that you must pass the bar exam. The MBE Testing institute can help you
succeed and guide you through the areas that will help you pass the bar exam
and begin your life as a lawyer. Don’t
wait until you take the bar 2 or 3 or even 5 times – get help now and get the
bar exam behind you.

February 2016 will be the last New York bar exam
ever given. Effective July 2016, New
York will administer the Uniform Bar Exam (UBE).
The New York section consists of five essay
questions and 50 multiple choice questions prepared by the New York Board, and
one Multistate Performance Test question, developed by the National Conference
of Bar Examiners. Students take the MBE on the following day.
The UBE consists of the MBE Exam, two MPTs, and six 30 minute
essays.
Our students fall into two categories: Those who hate the UBE and those who want to
wait for the UBE.
We have students who dread the idea of even taking
the UBE and are determined to pass in February.
These students are all from New York, went to New York law schools and
know New York law. If they don’t pass,
they must forget everything they learned about New York law and learn the MEE
essay topics. They will have to get new
bar exam books and have to get used to writing 30 minute general essays instead
of 45 minute New York essays. They then
have to take 2 MPTs instead of the standard 1 MPT they are used to taking.
To those students – take the step to get an MBE
Testing Institute tutor so that you will pass in February and not have to face
the nightmare of having to alter your studies and take a whole new bar exam
that you are not familiar with.
We have students asking us whether they should sit
out the February bar exam because they think the UBE may be easier to pass.
These students are usually the LLM or foreign
educated students or the students who are unfamiliar with New York law. In addition, if they get a high enough score
(a 266), regardless of where they took the UBE, they can waive into New
York. The LLM students and the foreign
educated attorneys have had a difficult time in passing the New York bar exam –
less than 45% pass the bar exam at any given time – and the repeat rate is down
to the 30s.
We caution those students who think it will be
easier to pass the UBE and will sit out for February. Getting a 266 on the UBE is a tough
proposition. We have helped students in
other jurisdictions pass the UBE. It is
no cake walk. LLM students find it
almost an impossible task to complete 2 MPTs in the time given. So, make sure that you understand the pros
and cons before sitting out to wait for the UBE. The MBE Testing Institute can help you in
February for the New York bar exam and in July for the UBE.
The last hurrah for New York bar exam takers – make it
a good one and pass before the changes come!

The bar exam results for July 2015 from New York
indicated that foreign educated lawyers passed at a first time rate of 42%, and
that all foreign educated lawyers passed at a 33% rate. A drop from previous
years. In California, the statistics of
foreign educated lawyers are equally bad.
We have been receiving e-mails from applicants who
are having trouble with the bar exam because English is their second language.
Also, we have had a multitude of people from foreign cities read this blog.
How should a person prepare for the California or New
York bar exam when English is their second language?
1. First,
and for most, obtain a Bar Professors private tutor to evaluate your essays.
Working with a tutor will dramatically improve your chances of passing.
2. Write,
write and write some more. An applicant needs to learn to write on the New York
or the California bar subjects to both understand the law and to develop a
writing structure.
3. Memorize
the law “cold” because you have a built in language barrier. You do not have the
time to think about the law, you must know it.
4. Start
early.
Implementing the above will help you be successful
on the New York or California Bar Exam.

Repeat
bar exam takers should be very concerned with their ability to pass the bar exam
for a second, third or multiple times.
As we
have shown throughout our blog, the
repeat bar exam taker numbers are substantially lower than first time takers.
Absent a very structured study bar exam plan, many of the repeat bar exam
takers will repeatedly fail the bar until they just give up on their dream of becoming
a lawyer. As a law professor, I know too many students in this heart-breaking
category. They are devastated with their failure beyond comprehension. They are
literally paralyzed with indecision, depression and uncertainty about their
career and, more importantly, they question their own ability to pass the bar.
My
advice is to start with a very intensive structured plan. Obtain an MBE Testing
Institute’s tutor and, more importantly, believe you will pass. Above all else,
do not prepare for the exam as you did the first time. You have to change your
approach with a structured plan for success. Good luck.
