Practice — “To perform or work at repeatedly so as to become proficient; to train by repeated exercises.”
-Merriam-Webster Dictionary
I’m back again with another post on bar prep! Today, my post is on simulated exams for the bar and how to get the most out of those exams. This is coming pretty late in the bar prep process, but I think a lot of this information is great to apply in the last few weeks of bar prep. I know that this year’s exam is a little different (okay, a lot different) than normal bar exams, but a lot of what I found to be helpful could still be helpful to you and for future years of exams.
In the bar prep process, there are two official simulated exams through Barbri (one for the MBE and one for the essays). However, I used a lot of my time in the last two weeks working through my own “simulated exams;” like extra 100 question practice MBE exams and the full essay exams not assigned during the course. I found the simulated exams to be a great way to work on my timing for the exams in addition to making sure I know the law in a time crunch. Honestly, there’s no one perfect way to utilize the simulated exams but this is the way I found them to be helpful during my bar prep so I thought I’d share!
