                                      • Podcast Episode 354: Listen and Learn — MBE vs. NextGen Multiple Choice: Evidence

                                        Welcome back to the Bar Exam Toolbox podcast! This episode is part of the series in which we demystify the shift from MBE to NextGen multiple-choice questions. Today we’re walking through four questions on evidence — two in classic MBE style and two in the NextGen format. Join us and practice your understanding of hearsay exceptions and character evidence!

                                        In this episode we discuss:
                                        • Question 1: Hearsay exceptions (MBE)
                                        • Question 2: Statement not offered for the truth (MBE)
                                        • Question 3: Statement not offered for the truth (NextGen)
                                        • Question 4: Character evidence (NextGen)
