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.

We are delighted to share that another one of our students has aced the Baby Bar exam with an outstanding score! This is a remarkable achievement, especially considering the low pass rate of this difficult exam. Our student scored a 95 out of 100, which is well above the average score of 70. This score also puts them among the top performers in the state of California, as published by the California Bar! Congratulations, Shawn!

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.

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.

I attribute my success to Fleming’s. I practiced writing exams, even before I knew the rules (I just read the Fleming’s model answer first, wrote down the rules, and practiced straight application and analysis). I watched Jeff’s lectures on the e-Learning website and listened to them over and over, even through the night.

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.

Put simply, you survive your first year through the law school process, which requires two separate and distinct steps. Step 1 - You have to learn the law. Step 2 - You have to learn how to apply the law to law school exams in a time-driven testing environment. One without the other will not achieve your law school objectives. 

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

Law school takes more than just barking out legal rules. Impressive as that may seem, any old dog can learn that trick. If you want to unleash your potential and lead the pack, take it from Law Dawg - sink your teeth into law exams with Fleming’s at your side.
