Passing the Bar Exam - Torts or no Torts?

Freakonomics has a write up on the "Science of Passing the Bar Exam" regarding the study done in St. Louis a while back.

Specifically they ask the question if taking subject matter related to what is tested on the state bar exam improves chances of passing state bar or not..

Quote:
The “conventional wisdom” among law school faculties and deans is that law students, especially law students who academically rank low in their class, should take as many of the courses whose subject matter is tested on state bar exams (i.e. contracts, torts, property, etc.) as possible in order to improve their chance of passing state bar exams…. Many law schools mandate that low-ranked law students take these courses in their second and third years of law school in the belief that doing so increases the ability of those students to pass state bar examinations.
This seems to make sense to me, but for some reason a bunch of folks are arguing with the findings.

I agree, learning more about the same thing, even if different, can still help one absorb the info when the time comes.
