In your last semester of law school, or taking the next bar exam? Don't leave your preparation to the last minute. Start thinking about -- and getting answers to -- the following questions early on:
- In which jurisdiction(s) do you plan to take the bar?
- What are the jurisdiction's requirements to sit for the bar? (For example, what do you need to provide with your application? Do you need to have achieved a passing score on the Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam? Will you need to round up letters of recommendation or references?)
- What is the format of the jurisdiction's bar exam? Check www.ncbex.org for a comprehensive listing.
- What subjects does your jurisdiction's bar exam test?
- How much time will you have to study, and how will you allocate that time? Come up with a concrete study plan.
- What resources are available to assist you with your bar preparation?
