By A Customer

If you can't afford the expensive bar review courses, or if they aren't doing much for you as far as the MBE goes, GET THIS BOOK!

5.0 out of 5 stars Helped me pass the California Bar Exam, November 24, 2002

By	Myrlys L. Stockdale (Northern California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Strategies & Tactics for the Mbe: Multistate Bar Exam (Strategies & Tactics Series) (Paperback)

This book (and the practice questions) was the singular reason I was able to increase my success on the MBE and pass the California Bar exam, as a repeater. Without a doubt, I would recommend it to anyone who is struggling with the MBE.

The explanations and overview help you understand the rationale behind the questions, and point you to the correct answers. I was averaging about 60% correct on the PMBR practice questions, and after reading this book and doing the sample questions, I was averaging about 80% correct. In Crim and Torts, my averages were 88% and 90%.

It makes a BIG difference and the money, for me, was well spent.

4.0 out of 5 stars Success!, October 23, 2001

By	K. Fromal "kristinof" (Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The bar exam is an incredibly overwhelming obstacle - after studying and working for three or more years, it's still necessary to take just one more test! It's enough to drive even the most dedicated future lawyer bonkers.

This book is a great resource for keeping the madness away. It provides hundreds of sample MBE questions, and sample tests on which to grade yourself. It's still necessary to take a review class-this book isn't going to teach you the law, and it won't help you get ready for the essay exams which are sure to be part of your test. But, it's a great way to drill on those tough MBE questions, which is the best way to succeed. There are also good tips on the MBE in the front of the book.

I passed, and you will too if you stick to a study schedule that includes lots of practice - get the book and get to work!
