Varsity Tutors is the only name you need to know if you want to take your Houston bar exam preparation to a whole new level. If you're looking for a structured learning environment in which to study legal concepts, our Houston bar exam prep class could be exactly what you have been searching for. If you would prefer to receive personalized attention as you work toward your goals, we can find you a Houston bar exam tutor in as little as 24 hours. Both services are great, and many choose to combine them in order to create an extremely comprehensive test prep experience.
Every state has its own bar exam requirements, and Texas's involve a variety of standardized tests designed by the NCBE (National Conference of Bar Examiners). For example, the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination (MPRE) assesses a candidate's knowledge of the professional conduct lawyers are expected to uphold. The Multistate Bar Examination (MBE) evaluates a test-taker's ability to apply legal principles and reasoning to fact pattern analysis. The Multistate Performance Test (MPT) measures how well you can apply what you have learned at a local law school such as the University of Houston Law Center or South Texas College of Law - Houston in a practical setting. There is also an essay test administered in Texas to assess a candidate's written communication skills. We can help you study for any or all of these tests, so reach out to us right now to learn more.
What topics can I go over during my Houston bar exam prep?
Since each test above is structured differently, the material you cover depends on the specific exams you're studying for. For instance, the MPT tests you on practical skills such as applying law and relevant facts in order to solve a client's problem, effective written communication skills, sticking to a deadline, and performing legal research. The exam is structured as two 90-minute tasks, so your instructor can teach you time management strategies to help you finish on time.
Alternatively, the MBE is a six-hour multiple-choice exam dealing with topics such as tort, constitutional law, contract law, and civil procedure. Many students have a hard time concentrating for six hours straight, so your instructor may provide mental exercises for you to complete to improve your intellectual stamina. You can also review sample problems to get a sense of how the test words things, potentially easing any test anxiety you may be experiencing.
What benefits can each of the Houston bar exam prep options provide?
As noted above, Varsity Tutors can either enroll you in a Houston bar exam prep course or find you a private instructor. If you take a course, all sessions will take place on our proprietary Live Learning Platform for added convenience. Powerful features such as video chat functionality allow you to see and hear everybody in your virtual classroom as if you were in the same physical location, so asking for help is as easy as raising your hand. Our platform is also mobile-friendly, allowing you to attend a session anywhere with a good internet connection.
Many students also find it easier to learn challenging concepts in a collaborative environment. For example, let's say you're having a tough time memorizing the repercussions for violating legal regulations. One of your classmates may be able to teach you a mnemonic device that makes it easier to retain the information. Working in a group also provides excellent value for your money.
If you would prefer to study with a private instructor, we can refer you to someone willing to work online or in-person. Online sessions are the most convenient option, as our Live Learning Platform facilitates face-to-face meetings over the internet. If you would rather meet your instructor in-person, you can meet at a local library, restaurant, or even your home for added convenience. Either way, you're free to dictate when your sessions take place so that standardized test prep does not control your schedule.
An academic mentor can also establish a personal rapport with you, allowing them to understand your goals and design study sessions accordingly. If you understand torts, your instructor can skim over them to keep your study sessions as engaging as possible. If you're having a harder time with contract law, your instructor can provide additional explanations and examples until you feel comfortable moving on. Your instructor can also adjust a session's pace in real time to improve your study efficiency.
