How to study for the Multistate Bar Exam (MBE)

What is the best way to study for the Multistate Bar Examination (MBE)? I made a short YouTube video demonstrating my favorite strategies.

📚
Ryan McCarl's book Elegant Legal Writing is now available on Amazon! Buy a copy at bit.ly/elw-book and follow his blog at elegantlegalwriting.com.

These strategies include:

  • Doing thousands of MBE practice questions with Adaptibar or books containing past questions.
  • Creating your own outline for each subject from scratch
  • Populating your homemade outline with rules gleaned from answer explanations for practice questions you didn’t understand
  • Creating your own audio resources using Speechify or another text-to-speech app
  • Listening to lectures from YouTube, the Sum and Substance series, or other sources while you run, drive, or do the dishes
  • Working with a bar tutor or study partner
