Welcome back to the Bar Exam Toolbox podcast! Today, we are walking through a UBE secured transactions essay question. This is one of our series of podcasts on how to approach Multistate Essay Examination questions.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Why you should be spending the majority of your essay-writing time on analysis
• The power of the word “because” in a bar exam essay
• What the bar examiners are looking for, and why memorizing the law is not enough
• Why solid analytical skills can save your answer, even when you don’t know the law
• How we would answer a real UBE essay question on secured transactions
