Study Aids and Exam Prep: Bar Exam

The Multistate Bar Exam is intimidating because it covers a wide array of subjects and because it is all multiple-choice questions. If you feel overwhelmed by all the subjects and the nuances of them and have never liked multiple-choice questions, particularly in law school, then this book is precisely what you need. Practice multiple-choice questions can serve two purposes.

This second edition (expanded by 25% with new questions, and now also encompassing the December 2015 Rules amendments) is a multiple-choice exam practice book designed for (a) bar exam takers, who are preparing to take the MBE multiple-choice bar exam (Civil Procedure was recently added as a testing topic in the MBE multiple-choice bar exam), and (b) 1L law students, who are preparing to take their course examinations. The book offers practical, easy-to-follow advice on multiple-choice exam-taking strategies, clear suggestions on effective multiple-choice practicing techniques, and a robust set of Civil Procedure multiple-choice practice questions with answers and explanations (designed to simulate MBE-style questions).

A “Short & Happy Guide to the MEE” is shorter than other books on the bar exam because its sole focus is the Multistate Essay Examination. It is a one-source resource for what you need to maximize your performance on the MEE—not a generic essay writing guide, but a treasury of information, issue identification, and subject area frameworks tailored specifically for the MEE.

The Multistate Performance Test is a standardized test which means it is created and graded based on formulas and patterns. A Short & Happy Guide to the MPT teaches you how to take advantage of this by identifying the basic underlying formulas on which every MPT is constructed and the standard performance expectations.
