I like learning anything new and enjoy reading, but I'm not fond of school. I made good grades only when the subject interested me. However, I have always done very, very well on standardized tests, probably because I read so much. I was a National Merit finalist and my LSAT score was in the 99th pe...

Frequently Asked Questions
Tennessee's Bar Exam tests knowledge across multiple legal subjects including constitutional law, contracts, criminal law, evidence, torts, real property, civil procedure, and professional responsibility. The exam also includes the Multistate Performance Test (MPT) and Multistate Essay Exam (MEE), which assess practical legal skills and written analysis. Success requires mastery of both substantive law and the ability to apply it under timed conditions.
Tennessee's Bar Exam pass rate typically hovers around 70-75% for first-time test takers, though this varies by law school and preparation quality. Students who struggle with specific subject areas or test-taking strategies often benefit from targeted preparation that addresses their individual weak points. Personalized tutoring can help identify gaps early and build confidence in high-difficulty topics before exam day.
Most students struggle with time management during the exam, mastering the depth and breadth of material across multiple subjects, and translating law school knowledge into practical application. Many also find it difficult to balance studying while working or managing other commitments. Personalized instruction helps you focus study time on your weakest areas rather than reviewing material you already know, making preparation more efficient and less overwhelming.
Bar prep courses provide comprehensive, standardized content for all students, while personalized tutoring focuses specifically on your individual knowledge gaps and learning style. A tutor can spend extra time on subjects where you're struggling, adapt explanations to match how you learn best, and create practice strategies tailored to your needs. This targeted approach often leads to faster improvement and better retention than generic prep materials.
Ideally, you should begin tutoring 3-4 months before your exam date, though starting earlier gives you more time to address fundamental gaps. If you're already enrolled in a bar prep course, tutoring works well alongside it to provide personalized reinforcement of difficult concepts. Even students who start tutoring closer to exam day can benefit from focused help on their most challenging subjects.
Yes—Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who specialize in particular Bar Exam subjects like evidence, contracts, constitutional law, or professional responsibility. You can work with one tutor who covers multiple subjects or connect with different specialists depending on your needs. This flexibility allows you to get expert-level instruction exactly where you need it most.
Practice testing is critical—it builds familiarity with question types, helps you develop time management skills, and reveals exactly which topics need more study. Regular practice under timed conditions also reduces test anxiety and builds confidence. A tutor can review your practice test performance with you, explain where you went wrong, and help you develop strategies to avoid similar mistakes on exam day.
Your first session will focus on understanding your background, identifying your strongest and weakest subjects, and learning about your study habits and learning preferences. The tutor will likely discuss your bar prep timeline, any previous exam attempts, and specific areas where you want to focus. From there, you'll develop a personalized study plan that targets your needs and fits your schedule before exam day.
