Bar Exam Memorization: Do I Have Enough Law Memorized?
Bar Exam Memorization: Do I Have Enough Law Memorized?
Bar exam memorization is one of the topics students ask us about most! You may be wondering if you have enough law memorized for the MBE. While you want to memorize as much as you can (especially of the highly tested issues!), it is unrealistic to think that you will have every single nuance tested — especially with the amount of material you may have on hand.
Here, we have a free bar exam memorization quiz so you can find out if you are on track!
We write a lot about memorization because it is one of the most important things you can do to pass the bar exam! If you are looking to improve your score (on the essay or MBE portion of the exam) it is one of the most important things you can do!
The Biggest Mix-Up with Memorization:
A lot of students confuse having a general understanding of the law with having it memorized. For example, you might be able to explain joint tenancy in general. But can you state the four ways to sever a joint tenancy? You may understand the equal protection clause, but can you state each level of scrutiny and who has the burden of proof?
The bar exam does not test generalities. It tests nuances! So if you are working on your bar exam memorization, one of the most important things you can do is make sure you have the most important nuances of the law memorized!
MBE Quiz
You might wonder if you have enough law memorized. We have compiled a quiz that tests straight memorization. It does not test application of the law. It does not test understanding. It simply tests whether you have the law memorized.
In our MBE quiz PDF, which you can download below, there are four questions on each topic. After each question set, there are the answers. You can answer all 28 questions in a row. Or you can answer them subject by subject. Whatever you prefer! With the limited amount of questions, this quiz does not cover every portion of the law. The questions were picked at random. It is merely to give you a general gauge of how you are performing overall!
You should aim for a minimum score of above 60%. Ideally, you should be getting about 75% or more of these questions correct.
