CA BAR STYLE MBE STRATEGY AND APPROACH

The most common mistakes CA Bar Exam Applicants make in preparing for the MBE portion of the CA Bar Exam is merely practicing hundreds of questions without properly understanding the substantive law being tested, strategy for the MBE and timing considerations.  Most Bar Exam Courses have Applicants practicing daily questions, checking answers and simply moving on.  This repetitive and draining process of merely practicing MBE questions does not typically increase an applicant’s MBE score, and the Applicant is left feeling lost and overwhelmed as to why their scores are not increasing.

CA Bar Style has developed the following process for increasing MBE scores for Applicants needing improvement in the MBE section of the exam:

ENROLLMENT IN ADAPTIBAR

While it is not mandatory, it is highly recommended that all CA Bar Style Applicants enroll in the Adaptibar Program.

WHAT IS THE LAW?

Focused review of the substantive law is fundamental for success on the MBE portion of the Exam. You must have a focused schedule that shows you what actually gets tested on the multiple choice within EVERY subject. Learning and memorizing hundreds of pages of law is pointless. Know the law that comes up on the multiple choice and know it well. We teach you exactly how to memorize the relevant tested areas on the MBE portion of the exam.

HOW IS THE LAW APPLIED?

The next step in the CA Bar Style MBE Preparation Process, is knowing HOW the law actually is tested. Specifically, how are the categorical areas within every subject of the exam tested, where do the Examiners try and trick Applicants and what is the strategy to getting the right answer when these categorical areas are tested?

CATEGORICAL PRACTICE OF MBES

Now that you have the law and strategy down, you will be ready to start your MBE practice. Our CA Bar Style daily schedule will assign exactly what type of categorical questions you are to perform that day. For instance, after learning Product Liability Law, you will watch the Grossman MBE Approach Lecture on Product Liability. On that same day, you will be assigned Product Liability MBE Practice. This scheme of practice is fundamental to understanding and then conquering the MBE questions in a given categorical area per subject.

PERSONAL TRACKING OF YOUR MBE PROGRESS

Included in both the Premier and Elite Packages (not included in the Essential Package) Head Tutor Shana Karpeles will track each Applicant’s MBE progress via the Adaptibar Report Generator combined with CA Bar Style’s tracking methodology. Applicants will be instructed on how to break down the MBE categorical questions even further to gain a full understanding of exactly what types of questions you are getting wrong. For instance, the Adaptibar Report Generator will indicate how many Product Liability questions you are getting wrong. However, it is fundamental to break down these questions even further to understand what types of Product Liability questions you are getting wrong. For instance, is there a specific theory or area of law, or perhaps a defense you keep getting wrong? We will show you how to correct these mistakes on a categorical level, before attacking the subject as a whole.

The MBE Component of the CA Bar Exam is worth 50% of your overall score.  As a CA Bar Exam Applicant, passing the MBE is crucial to passing the CA Bar Exam.  CA Bar Style’s methodology to preparation for the MBE Exam works and has helped hundreds of applicants increase their scores and pass the exam.
