Boost Your MBE Score in Thirty Days

Studying for the bar exam is a grind, especially when it comes to the MBE section. Because of the sheer volume of material tested on the MBE, it is difficult to quickly improve your MBE score — but not impossible! These four tips can help you boost your MBE score in 30 days.

Boost Your MBE Score in Thirty Days

1. Slow Down

Although test day may be approaching, one of our most effective tips to boost your MBE score is to slow down. Some students think that the best way to maximize their score on the MBE is to churn through huge quantities of questions. Instead, slow down! Sometimes quality over quantity is what matters and that’s the case here. Take the to review all of your work, identify why you’re missing questions, you can work to fix those issues. Slowing down in the short term will actually help you speed up in the long run.

2. Eliminate Careless Errors

This tip goes hand in hand with our first one. The time pressure of the MBE can play tricks on your brain and lead you to misread the fact pattern, miss certain words in answer choices, or incorrectly bubble your response. These errors are the most frustrating because they have nothing to do with your knowledge! Most of the time, recognizing your tendency to make a particular mistake can help you avoid it in the future. Take your time to read the call of the question carefully and understand what each answer choice is saying.

3. Focus on the Highly Tested Areas

You can’t hope to master every possible topic on the MBE in 30 days. However, you can maximize your time by focusing on highly tested areas. We’ve put together a list of commonly tested MBE topics, which include negligence, relevancy, and hearsay among others. If you have limited time as test day approaches, this strategy will give you the best bang for your buck.

4. Memorization is Key

Understanding a topic is not enough to quickly boost your MBE score. Instead, you need to memorize the law. If you can accurately explain the concept to a friend, then you’re in good shape. Memorizing will also help improve your speed since you’ll spend less time thinking before you arrive at the correct response. Here is a list of additional bar exam memorization tips to help you out!
