Some Final Week Advice

My advice for the final week (next week) of bar prep (this is UBE specific but could apply elsewhere):

Drill lots of MBE questions. Serve a bunch of tennis balls and you get better at serving tennis balls. The same is true with the skills that are needed to score high on the MBE. Won't get those skills from a 150 page Property outline, though. Read through many of the released bar exam essays and the model answers to those essays. Determine whether you would have spotted the legal issues in the essay and if you wouldn't have, learn the law a bit better that would have allowed you to spot them. By not spending too much time writing out answers, it allows you to work through more of these essays (see the tennis ball analogy above). Continue to write some answers out if additional practice with IRAC is needed. It's kind of tough to prep for the MPT. I wouldn't want to see one of those strange things for the first time while taking the exam, though. It's a good idea to familiarize yourself with how they work before hand.
