Doing the same thing over again and expecting a different result is one of the definitions of insanity. So why is it that many bar studiers assume that if they take the same bar review course and study the same way a second time that they are going to all of a sudden pass the bar exam? I have talked to too many students who have failed the bar more than twice who have done just this.
They assumed that if they just took the course again, listened to all the lectures again, and followed the study schedule again that it would work the next time. So, I have to raise the question a student asked me in my office last week.
She was planning on going to the lectures and doing the entire program again while also working with me outside of BarBri. Not necessarily. I mean, I took the course and passed the California bar exam on the first try. Study based on how you learn. Here are three fundamental truths that can reduce bar exam stress and, more importantly, increase the likelihood of passing when retaking the bar exam.
In law school, students who know the most about a subject are the students who get the highest grades on final exams. Deep, thorough understanding of the subject is the goal of every top law student. Not so on the bar exam. You need to know just enough, in enough areas, to land on the passing side of the bar exam curve.
A good bar exam study strategy is to build a base of knowledge that is wide and shallow rather than narrow and deep. There were questions that required leaps of logic through double conditional hoops. Today, the MBE is much fairer and more straightforward. Materials can be returned in any condition, along with the completed Material Return Form, all in one package. If state-specific content is tested on your bar exam, it is covered in your course.

Questions that have been released by the examiners will not appear in any future MBE because the scoring data for those questions would not be reliable.
Focusing primarily on real released MBE questions is another way some bar preppers misuse precious, limited study time. These questions have been drafted after careful review of actual MBE questions and have been approved by professors who are experts in those subjects.
