The MPT and CPT are designed to test your practical legal skills, and thorough preparation is key to success. Resources like Fleming's Performance Test Workshop provide the targeted training you need to refine your techniques and approach the exam with confidence.

Fleming's provides live exam writing workshops throughout the year. You can participate in them either in person or online. These workshops are ideal for novice 1L students who want to develop the skills they will use throughout their law school career, as well as for bar exam candidates who want to refine their skills and boost their confidence. You will learn from seasoned instructors who have helped thousands of students succeed in their exams. The workshops will teach you how to analyze, organize, and write effective exam answers that will impress your professors and graders.

If you are preparing for the bar exam, you might be wondering what the examiners are looking for in your essays. How do they grade your answers? What are the common mistakes to avoid? How can you improve your writing skills and impress the readers? To answer these questions, we interviewed some of the bar exam readers who have years of experience in evaluating law students' essays. In this blog post, we share some of the insights and tips they gave us on how to write effective and persuasive essays for the bar exam.

Taking the California bar examination once is hard enough. But, what if you find yourself in the position you hoped not to be in: having to take it again.

Professional Responsibility is tested heavily on the California Bar Exam. You might find PR the subject matter of its own essay question. You might find it as a crossover question with another doctrinal subject. You might find it a part of or the whole topic on a performance exam. And, you might find it in multiple places in the same bar exam!

So, be on the lookout! Just because you passed the MPRE does not mean that you have seen the last of PR issues.

What you do between now and July 26th matters!

You have just finished three or four years in law school. Now you face that pesky two-day bar exam at the end of July – the thing that stands between you and a career in practicing law.

Every law student and bar candidate needs strong bar exam sample questions to use for regular exam practice - because scoring well on law exams is dependent on your ability to apply the law to all the hypothetical facts presented in your law exams.

With determination, self-discipline, and a tremendous amount of hard work in law school and during bar review, you will be prepared to achieve your dream of passing the bar exam on your first attempt.

For those who did not pass, it does not appear their results reflect a lack of legal knowledge. The vast majority of bar candidates who sit for the exam have an adequate command of the law. Rather, the test results for those who did not pass reflect a general lack of test-taking skills on the MBE and written portions of the exam.

Being an effective and skillful test-taker is the bedrock to success in law school and on the bar exam.
