How to Pass the Bar Exam: Study Less, Practice More

[@johannamares4744]

This is so true I just finished my bar prep course last week and barely began aggressively practicing. I feel like I wasted the past weeks watching videos and following the bar prep syllabus. This week while practicing has built my confidence level much more than watching hours of videos. I now have two weeks left to prepare. Wish I didn't waste my time!

What happened , should I do it ? I hope that you got it . I will prepare myself for next Feb

[@rileypaynestewart]

Hi Michael, It’s interesting to be able to quantify the importance of the substantive issue you raise here; more practicing less study. There is are very good reasons that you are correct. 1. Psychologically, from consistent practicing of all aspects of bar exam questions, your mind learns to become laser focused. 2. Experientially, from perfectly practicing, one develops an unconscious competence level. 3. One’s confidence is strengthened from a combination of earned expertise, focus and, the improvement of our scores. It is only through the methods you discuss here that our passion comes to life because we all love the law. Studicata makes “self lawyering possible.” Thank you very much as always Michael. Ty.

Dude I am doing the bar exam course in Mauritius (a countey with a Hybrid legal system - mix of French and English law as we were colonised by both country and recently became Independant in 1968 and became a Reoubluc in 1992). The rate of failure here is 92 %. I initially thought that your advice applies only to the US bit when listening to you, I realised that the two advice you gave, namely "Study Less Practice More", and "examinstors are creatures of habit" are rules that my lecturer of "Droit Civil" (which has nothing to do with civil law of the USA) told me numerous times along with other teachers. The habit thing is spot on: our teacher told us that in the past few years, there always was a question on the Landlord and Tenant Act

Taking barbari now... wish I saw this sooner

[@Lucas-vc7pl]

This man speaks the truth at my law school they were indoctrinating us to watch lectures and then do practice. study eight hours a day. It makes sense to practice more

[@michellecrawford9847]

You only had to tell me one time I hear you a hundred percent I do and I agree with you I don't even go to college but I'm going to pass the bar exam in you you just helped me quite a bit he gave me that one thing I needed to hear thank you

[@generaldilvry69]

I’m supplementing your course with AdaptiBar questions. It tracks your progress. But actually my scores have been going down. What gives? In certain areas I broke down and read a Barbri outline selectively, and I would say my AdaptiBar scores on those areas read saw improvement. Problem is knowing when to do this. And how time consumptive it is. One challenge I’ve encountered in just reading explanations and attack sheets is when it comes to synthesizing multiple, transsubstantive rules.

WHICH STATES DO NOT REQUIRE THE LLM TO TAKE THE BAR EXAM. I AM A LAWYER IN BRAZIL

[@johnnysuaveryanschannelfor696]

Very cool. Thanks for the info

[@studicata]

No problem!

[@Jaytonious]

Thanks for this video, Michael! Would love to offline if you ever have time. Circling the wagons and looking at the July 2020 UBE. Looking to pair a program like Studicata and wondering if coaching is available. - Jay in Atlanta

[@RetiredInItaly]

looks like bar exam wont be needed anymore... state by state. your thoughts?

[@junebreeze5620]

I agree active learning is great! Why don't you have Michigan outlines?

[@idylledoll]

They only seem to have material for the UBE...maybe in the future they will, it sucks they dont have Cali but I emailed them and they said many NON-UBE takers will use the LITE package or the MBE portion. You need to get supplementary stuff for the Essay and Jurisdiction portion for your state! I suggest smartbarprep, that is the one I am getting for the California portion.

[@supremelucks]

I know too much to be a lawyer I could bring the whole system down in a day if I wanted to

[@Carmycarmyesq]

Hello! Do you have attack outlines for CA bar exams? Im seeing that you have UBE and MEE specific materials. Just wondering!

[@studicata]

While our materials cover the MBE portion of the CA Bar Exam, we do not currently offer any CA-specific materials.

[@lightningfish637]

Do you have a website ?

[@JuniperSummer]

Time 8:00 when he gets to the point.. well kinda

[@philistineau]

He hit the point at 3 minutes.

[@joevalentin2450]

Every single word you said is the truth.

[@tammymccrae-coley9278]

Do you use actual released questions?

[@studicata]

Hi there! Yes! All the data used to build our materials comes from every bar exam that has been released since 1995.

[@realinvestor5009]

Is this for Canadian Bar Exams??

[@idylledoll]

No. American.

[@EdFertik]

Have you seen people without law school pass the bar?

[@studicata]

I have not personally seen it. I imagine the written portions of the bar exam would be the most difficult to learn without having attended law school. However, it is doable.

[@scottramos2260]

I am in California. Does your program work for California Bar exam takers

[@AntiMasonic93]

He tutors for the California Bar.

[@JorgeAguilar-iw9gd]
