If you'd like to take a comprehensive San Antonio prep course but aren't sure how to get started, Varsity Tutors makes enrolling quick and easy. Every state has its own bar exam admission requirements, but an organization called the NCBE (or National Conference of Bar Examiners) writes several exams that states across the nation can use to determine whether a candidate has the skills necessary to the legal practice of law.
Prospective lawyers in San Antonio, Texas, need to pass at least three such tests: the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination (MPRE), Multistate Performance Test (MPT), and Multistate Bar Examination (MBE). Each of these standardized exams assesses different skills, so you might feel overwhelmed if you try to study for all of them at once. Thankfully, Varsity Tutors provides San Antonio bar exam class options to help you feel more confident on exam day.
What topics are typically covered in a San Antonio bar exam course?
Since each exam covers different material, what you need to review is determined by the test or tests you're studying for. If you're taking the MPRE, you need to study topics pertaining to the professional conduct of those involved with the American judicial system. Examples include client confidentiality, conflicts of interest, and how the legal profession is regulated on the state and federal levels. The test's multiple-choice format also means that it's possible to leverage the exam against itself if you're ever unsure of the correct response. If you're not familiar with how to do this, your instructor can demonstrate test-taking strategies you can apply on test day.
The MBE also uses a multiple-choice format, but you have six hours to answer 200 multiple-choice items on topics such as tort, contract law, civil procedure, criminal law, and real property. That can be a very long time to maintain uninterrupted concentration, so your instructor might show you mindfulness techniques to ease the mental strain associated with such a long test. You might also answer practice questions to help you get a sense for how NCBE tests tend to word things.
What are a few of the benefits of taking a San Antonio bar exam course?
Every San Antonio bar exam class provided by Varsity Tutors involves a group of students meeting with a passionate instructor at a set time for the duration of the class. We thoroughly vet each instructor before we allow them to teach our class, so you can trust that all of the material presented is accurate and up-to-date.
All sessions also take place on our proprietary Live Learning Platform, online classroom software that uses powerful features such as video chat and a virtual whiteboard to make you feel as though you're all in the same room even if you're miles apart. Our platform is also mobile-friendly, allowing you to whip out your favorite mobile device anywhere with a solid internet connection and attend a class session. If you want to ensure yourself of a distraction-free learning environment, you can study at home. If you'd rather make the most of scheduled downtime at a local school such as St. Mary's University School of Law, you can do that too. The choice is yours.
You might also find that studying in a structured, collaborative learning environment makes it easier to master challenging concepts. For example, the MPT is a practical test that measures how well you can carry out tasks expected of a new lawyer. If you struggle to relate classroom knowledge to real-world situations, one of your classmates might be able to help you out. Likewise, you can explain concepts to your new friends to help them out while also enhancing your own understanding of the material.
Working in a group also delivers superior value for your money. If you ever feel like you could benefit from personalized instruction, you can also arrange private study sessions with your instructor on an as-needed basis. Why not give us a call today to discover if an online class is right for you?
Varsity Tutors tries to make attending a course as convenient as possible. We offer multiple course sessions concurrently, including two-week and four-week options to fit a broad swath of student schedules. New courses also launch monthly, so you never need to wait too long to get started.
