Listen Later

Welcome back! Today we're talking about how to conquer the bar exam, specifically the MBE. Taking six hours of multiple choice questions is challenging for just about everyone. For some, however, it can be a major speed bump on the road to bar exam success.

Don't let the MBE prevent you from passing the bar exam. We've got some tips and strategies!

In this episode we discuss:

  • An overview of the MBE
  • How to find out exactly what's covered
  • What to expect during the MBE on test day
  • Why is the MBE so challenging?
  • What is the best way to study for the MBE?
  • Lee and Alison share their MBE experiences
  • Why practice is so important
  • The right way to practice
  • How much should you worry about timing?
  • What to do if you are really struggling with the MBE
