With just under 2 weeks to go until the 2014 DC February bar exam, people are starting to receive their admission tickets to the exam. It should have all the information you need with regards to time/place/date/etc. In these last couple of weeks I plan on doing two things:
1) Focusing on any weak areas or subjects that I have been avoiding. Everyone has a couple of subjects that they dread, real property, secured transactions and commercial paper usually are at the top of most people’s “I hope they don’t ask those on the exam” list. So, I always focus these last few weeks on the subjects that I have been avoiding.
2) Do a review of all areas of the exam to be tested. If there are MPTs on the exam, I will always do a couple MPTs this week in addition to the usual essay and MBE preparation. If there are short answer questions I will review and practice some of those as well. These final weeks/days are treated as more of a review than learning new information.
Good luck to everyone taking the exam!

Thanks for the info, Examiner who’re not in the US, it might get it after fly to US for exam next week, Do you have any information regarding detail info regarding admission ticket?
If you could advise me for the details that I should know before exam, that will be really apprecaited. Becasue, I think I will get it on exam site for registration.
Thank you.
What specific information are you looking for?
I have one questions regarding the specific exam site at Convention Center. and if highlighter, small analogue watch are allowed or not.
the other one specific question, I will write down the answer with pen, if the answer sheet has a line or raw in it. In Mee, May I darely assume, out of 6 subject, MBE : Non-MBE = 50%:50% based on recap of previous exam…?
Thank you for your tips on the question above in advance
I have never seen a problem with wearing a watch, but I’m pretty sure highlighters are not allowed. Yes, the MBE subjects have been relatively steady around 50/50 on the MBE.
Thank you! :) no Highligher but with watch.
Any advice for people only taking the DC day? I’m particularly wary about the MBE topics since I haven’t been doing practice MBE questions. With just a week to go and doing some MBE topic essays, I’m finding myself missing a lot of issues.
If you figure that the average number of MBE subjects tested on the DC day is 3 questions, then the breakdown sort of looks like: 50% MPT, 25% MEE subjects, 25% MBE subjects. The most straightforward advice just based on grading weight would be to spend your time along those percentages in those areas, so at least 25% of your study time should be the 6 MBE subjects.
One more question: do you know which subjects were on the July 2013 and July 2012 exams? I can’t find them. Thank you for this awesome blog! It has been really helpful.
July 2013 – Comm Pap, family, civ pro, wills, prop, torts, contracts
July 2012 – Corp, family, trusts, con law, crim, torts
Any thoughts on the observation that DC doesnt use the same MBE essay topics in back to back exams? For example, since it tested on torts, contracts and property last July, that those subjects may not come up this time? Thank you a million!
It’s not so much DC, as it is the NCBE (the author of the MEEs). Still, they have given the same mbe subject back to back before, so no guarantees.
