Give Varsity Tutors a call if you have been searching for Chicago bar exam prep. Students at the University of Chicago Law School, Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law, and other law schools in the area can benefit from taking a bar exam prep class or studying with a private tutor. Professional preparation can help you fill gaps in your knowledge and remember information that you may have forgotten.
What topics can I learn about during Chicago bar exam preparation?
Whether you are taking NCBE exams or other exams, such as the MEE or the MPT, you can benefit from reviewing what you learned with bar exam prep in Chicago. The NCBE, or National Conference of Bar Examiners, is the organization that created the MPRE (Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination) and UBE (Uniform Bar Exam).
On the MPRE, you will have two hours to answer 60 multiple-choice questions about the conduct and discipline of lawyers and judges. Topics include the different roles of a lawyer and conflicts of interest. The UBE has several parts, including the MBE (Multistate Bar Examination), MEE (Multistate Essay Examination), and MPT (Multistate Performance Test). The MBE will test your ability to use legal reasoning and apply legal principles to fact patterns. The MEE will measure your written communication skills. The MPT will measure your ability to use fundamental lawyering skills in a realistic situation and complete a task that a beginning lawyer should be able to accomplish.
How can I benefit from Chicago bar exam prep?
There are two ways you can prepare for the bar exam in Chicago. One way is to sign up for a Chicago bar exam prep class. Another option is getting private mentoring.
Our classes take place over the internet, in our virtual classroom. You will be able to see, hear, and interact with the instructor and other students through the use of video chat. A virtual class gives you all the benefits of a class without needing to leave your home.
Signing up for a prep class can give you the opportunity to get a comprehensive review of the information you will need to know for the bar exam. Your class instructor can start from the basics and make sure that everyone understands a topic before moving on. They can give students the opportunity to ask questions and clarify misunderstandings. If a student is struggling with a concept, the teacher can recommend that they get additional help after class. They might also direct the student to online resources or books that can help clarify the issue. You can request private time with the teacher yourself as well.
Your class teacher can administer practice tests. Knowing the information is just one part of preparing for the bar exam. The other part is improving your test-taking skills, which can get better with practice.
Another option is signing up to study with a Chicago bar exam tutor. A private mentor can study at a pace which you feel comfortable with. You can take your time to ask your questions. One of the benefits of private mentoring is the flexibility it offers you. You can schedule as many or as few study sessions as you like.
A private mentor can help you improve your test-taking skills as well. For example, they can administer practice tests that mimic the bar exams you are going to take. This way, you can practice answering a variety of questions under pressure. They can also advise you to take your best guess when you are faced with a multiple-choice question that you do not know the answer to.
You can meet with your instructor over the internet, on our Live Learning Platform. You will be able to interact with your instructor as if you were sitting at the same table together. You can also request an in-person meeting if you so prefer. You can meet with your instructor at your house or another location that is convenient for you.
