Clearing the Last Hurdle: Mapping Success on the Bar Exam, Fourth Edition
Wanda M. Temm
Paperback ISBN: 9798889064541

Clearing the Last Hurdle: Mapping Success on the Bar Exam by Wanda M. Temm is designed as a comprehensive textbook for a for-credit bar preparation course. This all-inclusive textbook includes substantive outlines on all Multistate Bar Exam (MBE) topics and all Multistate Essay Exam (MEE) topics and is also easily adaptable for state-specific jurisdictions. Clearing the Last Hurdle focuses on guiding a law student in understanding the tasks involved in bar preparation; giving the student specific suggestions on how to study; and providing sufficient practice questions to improve the student’s skills in answering MBE, essay, and performance test questions. In addition, it emphasizes using mind maps, which allow a student to make the necessary associations between concepts for better memory retention and recall, to order thinking about each topic. The book includes practice questions in all three formats—multiple choice, essay, and performance tests—with score sheets to more specifically guide students in how to review their practice answers. The teacher’s manual includes student sample answers with score sheets to assist professors in understanding how to assess a bar exam essay.

Ultimate Guide to the UBE (Uniform Bar Exam) Redesigned, Second Edition
Melissa Hale, Antonia Miceli, Tania N. Shah
Paperback ISBN: 9781543856378

In the past decade the UBE has gone from being adopted by merely a few jurisdictions to over 40, including Massachusetts, New York, Illinois, and Texas, and soon Pennsylvania in July of 2022. This encompasses a large percentage of students taking the Bar Exam. It also means that many students, as well as bar prep professionals, have questions about the UBE. We seek to provide one guide that addresses everything anyone would want to know about the UBE, most importantly, how to prepare for it.
