The July bar exam is upon us.

Many of you have signed up or already started your full-feature bar preparation course. It is large, and the information is overwhelming. It is all too easy to succumb to "information overload," and "analysis paralysis," if you will.

This is where the Multistate Digest truly shines. Its concise, low-cost outlines provide you with the black-letter law you need to pass the Multistate portion of the bar exam, a requirement in most jurisdictions. It also provides many concrete examples.

The full Multistate Digest that covers all multistate subjects comes in printed and kindle/kindle reader versions, and includes an invaluable section on "How to study for the bar exam."  Alfred Zappala's 20+ years of experience as a bar preparation author, lecturer, professor, and private tutor have helped thousands of folks pass the bar exam.

The full Multistate Digest printed version runs about 210 pages and costs $99. 00, and the full Kindle/kindle reader version costs $69.99. The kindle/kindle reader format also allows you to order a la carte for only $9.99 per Multistate subject.

Routine for last week before exam

Sleep and diet will help you more than anything now.

Get 8 hours of sleep each night. If you haven't already
started to, get up each day at the same time you need
to get up for the testing days.

If you are staying in a hotel near the test facility, arrange
a wakeup call now.

Fruit, protein, lots of water, no alcohol. 

See a movie this weekend.

Keep Sunday to 6 hours of study.

During study, take 15 min breaks every hour, or hour and 1/2.

Exercise, even just a 20 minute walk per day, helps
relieve stress and clear your mind.

They day before the test, preferably, don't study at all.
If you must study, stop at 2pm. You need to rest your brain
for the next two days of testing.

You can do this!

Some thoughts a week before the exam

The February bar exam is approaching next week in most jurisdictions. Cram time is over, but you cannot take your foot off the gas quite yet. It is time to eat well, sleep well, and fill those gaps in
your knowledge base, especially in your essays. Push the protein, blueberries and fruit, and shy away from the junk food and soda (good advice for after the exam, too!)

For your MBE problem areas, it is much better at this point to narrow down to two answers, guess,
and quickly move on. Mark the question as one you want to go back to, if you have time.

For essays, focus on making sure you are reasonably competent in each testable subject. You will likely not excel on all questions, but you do not need to in order to achieve your goal: to pass!
On the subjects that give you the most trouble, focus on issue spotting rather than writing full formal essays now, to maximize your points.

Write terse sentences and do not neglect grammar and neatness. A well-organized answer that uses proper grammar often receives a higher score than a poorly-organized one with marginal grammar that raises more issues.

If you have not already done so, *please* make a dry run of the testing facility, NOW. Do not visit the testing facility for the first time on exam day.

Best quality, lowest price MBE outlines anywhere!

Our MBE outlines and examples cannot be matched for organization, content, conciseness, quality of presentation, attention to detail, and price, whether book or kindle ebook! Whether you use them as review materials, as a complement to the big-bar study materials, or as base study material, we have your back, and for much less!

Your choice of book-bound for $99, or kindle/kindle reader app for $9.99 per-subject, or $69.99 for all subjects plus a detailed introduction on how to prepare your mind and body for the exam!

The kindle version is not just a Word document that was automatically run through some conversion tools to create what passes for many ebooks these days. We know the tools of the trade, and personally create our own kindle version from the original manuscript. This avoids many of the formatting and display pitfalls you typically see for ebooks:

1. Each larger table and graphic is carefully rendered as a bitmap for readability and starts at the top of a new page. No table or graphic spans more than a single page on a Kindle Fire/original Kindle.
2. Every page is carefully and personally tested on actual Kindle Fire/Kindle readers, Macs/PCs/iPads and other tablets that run the free Kindle Reader App, and even iPhones (though the iPhones have a harder time displaying some of the tables).
3. The Table Of Contents is built by hand with manual anchors and hyperlinks for improved color contrast and compactness of display: no sloppy Table of Contents that span more than the width of one screen or that have too many "....." in their listings!
4. the text is carefully re-worked from the original manuscript to take the most advantage of the free-form display of the e-reader format while preserving important outlining heading numbers and indentation.

When you purchase our bar exam preparation materials, you are purchasing a top-quality product  that has been personally authored, edited, formatted, and published by the authors.

Thank you, and good luck on the bar exam!

It's July 3rd, three weeks before the exam. If you are having trouble sticking to your study plan, make a new one starting from July 5th until 2 days before the exam. Focus on quality, using fewer materials.
