Varsity Tutors offers two powerful Syracuse bar exam preparation solutions to help you feel more confident on exam day. First, we provide a comprehensive Syracuse bar exam prep course where you can go over legal concepts and test-taking strategies in a structured study environment. Second, we can set you up with a private Syracuse bar exam tutor who can provide individualized attention as you pursue your academic goals. If you can't make up your mind, you might want to join the students who invested in both services in order to feel as prepared as possible on exam day.
Admission to the bar requires different criteria from state to state, but there's almost always a standardized testing requirement of some kind. The state of New York has adopted the Uniform Bar Exam (UBE), a battery of tests developed by the National Conference of Bar Examiners (NCBE). The bad news is that lawyers seeking admission to the New York State bar need to pass four different exams. The good news is that test-takers who pass and decide to leave the state can transfer their scores to another jurisdiction that recognizes the UBE. If your test prep has you feeling overwhelmed, let us help you reach for your academic potential.
What concepts can I cover during formal Syracuse bar exam prep?
Prospective lawyers in New York need to pass the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination (MPRE), Multistate Bar Examination (MBE), Multistate Essay Examination (MEE), and the Multistate Performance Test (MPT) in order to obtain a license to practice law in the state. You're probably more confident about some of these exams than others, so your test prep should concentrate on your unique areas of opportunity to improve.
For example, many test-takers find the prospect of taking the MEE daunting. You have to write six essays in just 30 minutes each, meaning the clock is bearing down on you for the exam's entire three-hour duration. If you could more effectively express your arguments in writing, your instructor can demonstrate outlining techniques to make it easier to convert your case into a written format. Likewise, you can receive instruction on how to effectively separate pertinent details from extraneous information. You can also review some of the legal concepts that could appear on exam day, including contract law, civil procedure, and constitutional law.
How do I choose which Syracuse bar exam prep product is right for me?
As mentioned above, we can enroll you in a thorough Syracuse bar exam prep class or find you a private instructor to help you feel more confident on exam day. If you opt for a class, you'll meet with a knowledgeable teacher and a group of dedicated students at a set time each week. All sessions take place on our exclusive Live Learning Platform, online classroom software that allows you to attend a class anywhere with a stable internet connection. Why go through the hassle of commuting to a class when the class can come to you?
You might also find studying in a collaborative environment to be advantageous. If you're having a difficult time with a particular concept, one of your classmates may be able to explain it to you in a more relatable manner than your instructor can. You can also return the favor by explaining something to your peers, reinforcing your command of the material in the process.
If you prefer to study in a one-on-one learning environment that revolves around your needs, we can find you a private instructor willing to work online or in-person. Online study sessions take place on our Live Learning Platform, leveraging powerful features such as video chat to provide a face-to-face experience anywhere you like. If you would rather meet your academic mentor in-person, you can meet at Syracuse University College of Law, a local fast food place, or even your own home to make attending sessions as convenient as possible.
Regardless of where you meet, a private instructor can design study sessions around your unique needs. If you're a visual student, your instructor can provide infographics to make it easier for you to picture key concepts. If you're more of an auditory learner, you might get more out of a lecture-based format with plenty of oral repetition to highlight the most important points. Your instructor can even design hands-on activities for you if you're a kinesthetic learner.

I agree with Henry Adams, who said, paraphrasing, that a teacher affects eternity because he can never tell where his influence stops. I have found that to be true from the statements of former students who have so stated. It's a gratifying feeling to see former students become successful, accomplished adults.... I use an interdisciplinary approach employing critical thinking skills.
