If you've reached the end of your law school studies and are ready to start a comprehensive Denver bar exam prep course, Varsity Tutors can help you get started. Students who have worked to earn their J.D. must pass a series of examinations from the National Conference of Bar Examiners (NCBE) in order to be licensed in a given state. Whether you're just now wrapping things up at schools like Sturm College of Law at the University of Denver or other law schools in Colorado, passing the bar will be the final hurdle to becoming a practicing lawyer. A bar exam preparation class is a great way to ready yourself for this last challenge.
What does the bar exam look like?
When people talk about taking "the bar", it means different things depending on where you live. Colorado has adopted what's called the Uniform Bar Exam (UBE) which incorporates the components of the Multistate Bar Examination (MBE), Multistate Essay Examination (MEE), and Multistate Performance Test (MPT). It might sound like a lot of testing (and it is), but if you pass the UBE, your scores will then transfer to all other UBE jurisdictions.
The UBE tests students on their knowledge of the law, reasoning skills, and ability to practically apply what they've learned over the course of their studies through multiple choice questions, essay questions, and task-based challenges. Subject matter covered might include things like civil procedure, contracts, criminal law and procedure, and a number of other topics. The goal of the assessment is to ensure students have the know-how necessary to effectively argue the law.
In addition to the UBE, the state of Colorado also requires would-be lawyers to complete the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination (MPRE). This exam, separate from the UBE, is roughly two-hours long and features 60 multiple choice questions. While the UBE focuses on knowledge of the law and how to work with it, the MPRE focuses on ethical and appropriate conduct as a practicing attorney.
Why enroll in a Denver bar exam course?
By the time you're preparing to sit for the bar, you've already spent a significant amount of time and money preparing to practice law. Signing up for a Denver bar exam class could be viewed as protecting that investment. There are three major benefits associated with doing so.
First, a Denver bar exam course is a great way to review all the key information you'll need to know ahead of your exam date. Your formal schooling has already given you the training you need to practice law, but a condensed review of that material ahead of actually sitting for the bar can help jog your memory and keep you focused on the relevant material. As you go through the course, you may realize that there are gaps in your understanding that might not have recognized without making time to prepare. Seeing as much can help you get ready for the Bar exam with maximum efficiency.
Second, Denver bar exam classes also help you train your mind to process information in a way that could benefit you on the day of the exam. As a law student, your mind has already been trained to think critically, analyzing available data in a very particular fashion. Taking a preparation class, though, gives you an opportunity to practice applying what you've learned within a set of time constraints. It can get you comfortable with the question structure as well.
Finally, a Denver bar exam course can get you mentally prepared to take the exam in the first place. Law students are no strangers to high-stress testing and heavy workloads, but the perceived finality of taking the bar can bring on a whole different level of anxiety. Going the extra mile by enrolling in a prep course that will leave you feeling ready for anything can help give you peace of mind and keep you calm as you approach the exam date.
How can you sign up for a Denver bar exam class?

The convenient, thorough classes are accessible online, making it easy to fit into your schedule with new sections opening up every month.
