| Re: Preparing for NY Bar Exam FEB 2008 Study the MBE topics and do the MBE tests until you have hit a high percentage right. Do one topic per week until you get a high enough score and do not stop studying practicing that first topic even when you move on to the next topic. After you have done all the questions, which is best to use the PMBR book for, then do mixed questions.
You should be studying a topic per week and doing questions. Lay out a schedule of the number of topics you must study to figure out how many weeks you need to spend on it. Then start studying the NY topics. Do not stop doing practice MBE questions. Do alot of essays and MBE questions as you get closer to the test.
IF you feel like you are not getting to where you want to be, you may need a tutor. I had to hire a tutor after I failed the first time and he helped alot. His name is Drew Novins and really helped me focus, learn how to answer MBE questions and do essays. Also, get the old NY essays from the Pace Law School website. Do those tests and not barbri's since the NY bar examiners get their questions from their old tests. The last time I took NY I studying really old exams and those questions were exactly on the same questions on the bar. I went in knowing what they wanted me to answer and was not lost. Good Luck. |
