Last weekend before the bar, MPT/MEE push…

Well, the time has come… Just a few days till the DC Bar Exam and I am definitely underprepared for the MEE section… I feel good about the MPTs though, having done 3 previous MPTs this week, I will do 1 more tomorrow but I’ve been doing very well on them so far… My hand gets tired after all the writing, and I wish there was more than 1.5 hours per question, but c’est la vie…

I’ve been reading plenty of previous MEE questions from about 2003/2004 to the present… I am woefully unprepared for the MEE-only subjects, but strong (as should be expected) on the MBE subjects… I plan to focus heavily on Trusts, Wills, Family Law, and Corporations this weekend by reading the BAR/BRI Conviser outlines for those 4 subjects, as well as the outlines in the Rigos/Emanuel MEE book… I plan to finish my day on Sunday doing all 9 actual MEE questions from February 2008…

Oh, and I will be reading Strategies and Tactics and doing a handful of PMBR MBE questions each night from now until the bar… I have not yet decided how I will be spending my Monday/Monday night, but I think I’ll be doing about a 50/50 split on MBE/MEE stuff… Tuesday night will obviously be 100% MBE study…

Believe it or not, I’m actually looking forward to the bar exam, as I am curious what the current, actual MBE questions look like… The MEE/MPT I don’t really care about, but the MBE fascinates me and I can’t wait to see what fine-line questions they have prepared…

BTW, I took the newly posted MBE-OPE-1/2 exams from the NCBE and the questions are reflective of the NEW style of MBE questions, so I would highly recommend to anyone to pay the $52 and buy both exams and do the questions to familiarize yourself with the new style… I love the new simplified style of questions, they are much easier to read, more straightforward, and really hone in on knowledge of the law, instead of multiple-choice “tricks”…
