After years of long days and nights studying, law school is drawing to a close and the bar exam is looming, which means the timing has never been better to sign up for a Buffalo bar exam prep course provided by Varsity Tutors. The National Conference of Bar Examiners (NCBE) is ready and waiting to test your know-how and mettle; their exams and some localized testing will determine whether or not you become licensed to be a practicing attorney in the state of New York. Institutions like the University at Buffalo School of Law have brought you this far, but an exam prep class is an excellent choice to shore up both your understanding and confidence headed into the big day.
What can students expect from the bar exam?
The bar exam is something you can't get around if you want to take that law degree you earned and put it to good use. It takes a different shape depending on where you live. In New York, they've adopted the Uniform Bar Exam (UBE), which incorporates the Multistate Bar Examination (MBE), Multistate Essay Examination (MEE), and Multistate Performance Test (MPT). It's an incredibly challenging tapestry of assessments, but the benefit to the UBE is that your scores will transfer to every other jurisdiction that has also adopted it as the standard.
The structure of the tests varies. The MBE, for instance, leans on multiple-choice questions. The MEE features six 30-minute questions that gauge understanding and written communication skills. The MPT is designed to evaluate task-oriented performance, or how well a student can actually apply the information they've gathered over the years. The subject matter covers a wide array of topics, including constitutional law, contracts, civil procedure, and more.
In addition to the UBE, New York requires those sitting for the bar to take the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination (MPRE). Unlike the other tests in this grouping, the MPRE addresses less technical aspects of practicing law, such as conflicts of interest, the different roles of a lawyer, and client confidentiality. If the UBE is about walking the walk, the MPRE is about making sure aspiring lawyers know how to do so with integrity.
Students face some jurisdiction-specific testing during the bar exam in New York, and your instructor can cover this as well so you know what you'll be facing.
Why take a Buffalo bar exam course?
After all the classes you've taken to date, adding another to your docket might be the last thing you want to do right now, but it's worth it to put in that extra bit of effort. Enrolling in a Buffalo bar exam class can take all the work you've done to date and distill it into the preparatory shot in the arm you need ahead of the bar. There are three unique benefits to participating.
To start, a Buffalo bar exam course gives you the chance to review all the relevant subject matter and identify where your weak spots might be. Because the bar covers such a wide berth of topics, knowing where to start studying and what might be sufficient is a difficult task. A prep course will help you refresh your memory on all the pieces of the puzzle that matter, highlighting areas where you should spend more time reminding yourself of the finer details.
Buffalo bar exam courses also aid in getting you ready to strut your stuff within the construct of the exam itself. Your schooling has given you the knowledge foundation necessary to succeed, but these exams, with distinctive question structures and rigid time constraints, can make demonstrating as much a challenge. The practice you'll get in a prep class will help you ready yourself to showcase your proficiency when the time comes.
Part of this is psychological, as well. After all, law school students have sunk a great amount of time and resources into pursuing their law degree. Failure to pass the bar can make all that work seem meaningless, and the pressure that creates can feel overwhelming. By taking a Buffalo bar exam class, students can rest easy knowing they've done everything they can to be as ready as possible when they sit down to take the test.
