Solicitando a tiempo tomar el examen de la barra:

1. Hacer una solicitud a tiempo, tanto para el examen de la barra y, si desea escribirlo [maquina], para poder usar el Examsoft. La fecha límite para hacer una solicitud oportuna tiene la tasa más baja [la mayoría son tardías]. Si usted está leyendo esto, a mediados de abril 2015, ya ha perdido los plazos de entrega más oportuna y están tarde para tomar el examen a la barra de julio 2015.

Para hacerlo bien la próxima vez, consulte con su oficina de servicios profesionales [NAFA ASSOCIATION] y, lean la Sección de ABA de Educación Legal y Admisión- Guía Completa de la Barra de Abogados Requisitos de Admisión, conocido cariñosamente como “La Guía de Completa” Ver detalles: http://www.ncbex.org/assets/media_files/Comp-Guide/CompGuide.pdf. Se actualiza anualmente, contiene las fechas y los plazos, el carácter y la aptitud de la información, tarifas, y mucho más. También puedes ver el examen de Responsabilidad Profesional (MPRE) es obligatorio.

2. La mayoría de los examinadores de la barra requieren notificación dentro de los diez días siguientes a la ocurrencia de cualquier evento [problema] violacion de la ley o delito  (un problema “realmente malo”), y “Me olvidé” no es una excusa. Su admisión a la barra puede ser retrasada o negada en caso de no reportar problemas con la justicia, multas, bancarrota, demandas, etc.

3. Tenga en cuenta que dormir la noche antes del examen de la barra; Si usted viene de fuera de la ciudad [u otro estado], debe conseguir una habitación de hotel tan cerca del lugar del examen como sea posible. No hay perdón en casos de “me perdí la rampa de salida”, no es una excusa por llegar tarde y no tendrás tiempo extra para contestar el examen.

4. Se deben adherir a los hábitos de estudio que funcionó para usted mientras usted estaba en la escuela. Si su patrón funcionó y estaba estudiando cinco horas al día, tratando de trabajar durante 12 horas, esto se extiende mucho y puede ser contraproducente. Si usted toma una clase de repaso o estudia por su cuenta, tome la mayor cantidad de pruebas a los exámenes reales de práctica y ensayo, tanto como sea posible. Miles de preguntas con muestras de exámenes MBE de la barra en varios estados- están disponibles- entrando por enlace seguido: http://www.ncbex.org/multistate-tests/mbe/]

Puedes buscar usos de exámenes y de varios otros estados en la “Prueba de Desempeño” (MPT) con preguntas a todos ellos y, tienes que  practicar, practicar y practicar. [Entrando por enlace seguido:  http://www.ncbex.org/multistate-tests/mpt/]

5. Grupos de estudio son un juego de azar. A menos que se continúa con el mismo grupo que ha estado antes; para encontrar un ritmo adecuado con un grupo de extraños tiene el potencial de disminuir la útilidad y productividad de los estudios.

6. Ejercicio y comer bien. Comeltas de pizzas no cuenta como buen ejercicio a menos que corras 30 peldaños de escaleras para conseguirlo. Azúcar, grasa, sal y cafeína no son buenos alimentos antes del examen.

7. No hable con otros que tomaron el examen durante dos semanas antes del examen. Recuerde que le confunden con sus nociones de temas arcanos de la ley de fideicomisos. No se distraiga.

Tomar el examen de la barra:

8. La mejor herramienta: un reloj de pulsera. Usted no será capaz de usar el reloj de su teléfono celular en el examen. Calcular bien el tiempo permitido para cada pregunta, y escribir la hora en su hoja de examen. Después de una hora (1:00) sobre una cuestión de 60 minutos, no se detenga- debe seguir adelante. Cualquiera que sea el número de puntos obtenidos es mejor que escribir por 30 minutos más allá del tiempo asignado; luego no lo puede compensar por faltar a la siguiente pregunta. Usted no obtiene puntos para las preguntas que deja en blanco.

9. Lee bien las preguntas. Lea de nuevo si es necesario. Siga las instrucciones. Si se le pide en el examen que escriba una nota a un cliente, hazlo. Si usted está escribiendo a mano el examen y se le instruye a  escribir en cada línea y en cada página, lo debe hacer. Ya sea por maquina o escribir a mano, debes recordar que una persona viva va a leer sus respuestas. Que sea lo más fácil posible para que esa persona le entienda bien y le den los puntos correctos.

10. Utilizando IRAQ, subraye el resumen de sus respuestas, y no empezar a escribir antes de pensar con cuidado la respuesta. El difunto Earle Kyle IV, quien calificó siete rondas de exámenes finales, a menudo le aconsejaba a los estudiantes de la Universidad de Minnesota, Facultad de Derecho que,  quienes toman el examen a la barra sin prepararse se puede saber cuando escriben sin tener un plan porque los temas relevantes salen a la superficie después de haber evitado los alegatos y pistas falsas. Usted puede obtener puntos por algo que ponga en su esquema. Pero si No puede recordar la ley? Se sugiere analizar y discutir en su mente los hechos antes de contestar.

11. La telepatía no es una herramienta al examen de la barra. Señaló Kyle que los examinadores de los que toman el examen al bar no saben lo que Usted sabe, y que los examinandos deben escribir todo. Para una pregunta de ley constitucional, Usted escribe: “Esta es una pregunta a la Ley Constitucional. [1 punto] Se requiere de la acción del Estado [otro punto]. ” No asuma nada, ni que tampoco ellos van a ver su punto de vista

12. No arriesgue su carrera en este examen. Los examinadores son la última parada en su camino a convertirse en un abogado practicante y las respuestas inadecuadas ponen su condición y preparación en cuestión por lo cual será referido a la Junta de Examinadores. Ninguna de las respuestas que Usted escriba debe ser divertida, sarcástica, desagradable u obscena.  Pensar con claridad. Escribir con elocuencia.

12 Tips for a Successful Bar Exam- by Susan Gainen .

Thousands of law students launch their careers after successfully navigating the bar exam just once. Use these 12 tips, and you, too, can make it to the admission ceremony on time.

Applying to take the bar exam

1. Make a timely application for both the bar exam and, if you want to type, for using Examsoft. The timely-filing deadline has the lowest fee. If you are reading this in mid-May 2011, you have missed most timely and late deadlines for the July bar.

To get it right next time, check in with your Career Services Office and read the ABA Section on Legal Education and Admission to the Bar’s Comprehensive Guide to Bar Admission Requirements, known affectionately as “The Comp Guide.” It is updated annually, contains dates and deadlines, character and fitness information, fees, and more. Also check in with the Bar Examiners in your state for the most current rules and procedures and whether the Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam (MPRE) is required.

2. Amend your bar exam application when necessary. When bar examiners check records before signing off on your admission and find a mid-June DWI, you are in trouble. Most bar examiners require notification within ten days of the occurrence of any triggering (aka “really bad”) event, and “I forgot” is not an excuse. Bar admission can be delayed or denied.

3. Consider where to sleep the night before the bar exam. If you are coming from out of town, get a hotel room as close to the exam site as possible. “I missed the off-ramp” is not an excuse for being late and you will get no extra time. If you are taking two states’ exams, have both Plan A and Plan B that will get to you to the exam sites on time.

Studying for the bar exam

4. Stick to study habits that worked for you while you were in school. If your pattern was studying five hours a day, trying to work for 12-hour stretches may be counter-productive. Whether you take a bar review class or study on your own, take as many real-time practice essay tests as possible. Thousands of sample Multistate Bar exam questions are available. Whether your state drafts its own or uses the Multistate Performance Test (MPT) questions, find them all and practice, practice, practice.

5. Study groups are a gamble. Unless you are continuing with the group you have been in since Torts, finding an appropriate rhythm with strangers has the potential to detract from purposeful and productive studying.

6. Exercise and eat right. Meeting the pizza delivery guy does not count as exercise unless you climb down 30 flights of stairs to get it. Sugar, fat, salt, and caffeine are not food groups.

7. Do not talk to other test-takers for two weeks before the exam. Your friends will remember things that you have never heard of and they will confuse you with their notions of arcane issues of trust law. Don’t let yourself be distracted.

Taking the bar exam

8. Top tool: a wrist watch. You will not be able to use your cell phone’s clock, so beg, borrow, but do not steal a watch, and set it to12 o’clock. Calculate the time allowed for each question, and write the time on your exam sheet. After one hour (1 o’clock) on a 60-minute question, you must move on. Whatever small number of points that you might earn for writing 30 minutes beyond that allotted time will not make up for missing a question entirely. You get no points for questions that you skip.

9. Read the questions. Read them again. Follow the instructions. If you are asked to write a memo to a client, do it. If you are hand-writing the exam and are instructed to write on every other line on every other page, do it. Whether writing or typing, know that a live person will read your answers. Make it as easy as possible for that person to give you points.

10. Using IRAQ, outline your answers, and do not start to write before you think carefully. The late Earle Kyle IV, who graded seven rounds of bar exams, often advised University of Minnesota Law School students that bar exam graders can tell if you write without a plan because relevant issues surface after you have dissected red herrings. You may get points for something on your outline. Can’t remember the law? He suggesting discussing the facts.

11. Telepathy is not a bar exam tool. Kyle advised students that their exams are graded against a grid. He noted that bar exam graders do not know what you know, and that test takers should write down everything. For a ConLaw question, write: “This is a Constitutional Law Question. [1 point] It involves state action [1 point].”

12. Do not risk your career on this exam. Bar Exam Graders are the last stop on your road to becoming a lawyer and inappropriate answers calling your fitness into question will be referred to the Board of Law Examiners. Nothing in your answers should be funny, snide, nasty or obscene.

Think clearly. Write eloquently. Good luck
