READ THIS FIRST – IMPORTANT INFORMATIONWelcome! We’re Jackson and Sara Mumey, and together we’ve been preparing students to take their bar exams for over a decade. Since 1994, we’ve operated as Celebration Bar Review. It’s a family-run business that takes pride in offering a quality course with personal service and attention. Sara runs the office and coordinates our production staff and vendors. Any questions about your tuitions, deposits, referral fees or refunds should be directed to her at [email protected] Jackson coordinates our editors and lecturers and is responsible for course content. He also does all of the personal mentoring. Jackson can be reached at [email protected]

When we first began the bar review, we only had a handful of students. Then, as now, we didn’t advertise but relied on word of mouth and our web pages. Today, our course has grown ten-fold from the early years and each exam we are forced to turn away students who wish to study with us. It’s a nice problem to have. Still, we want to be sure that your experience with Celebration Bar Review is positive and mutually beneficial, so we have some important information to share with you on the next few pages. These items may seem silly to you, but they are critical to our ability to service all of our students in the way we’d like to be treated as customers. Your cooperation will go a long way to ensure your satisfaction with the course and to allow us to assist you in reaching your only goal in taking a bar exam – to pass the test.

• First, please understand that the online materials belong to Celebration Bar Review and are not your property. You are “licensing” them for the purpose of taking one course only. They must not be duplicated, stored or transferred to anyone else. To do so violates our copyrights and we do inform the bar examiners of such violations.

• This is an online course. You will have the ability to access the written materials via .pdf and to print materials in low resolution (150 dps) for your own use. Lectures are offered in online streams that vary by connection speed of your computer. You may not download these streams and may only use them when connected to the web.

• Because of our size and licensing agreements with the Bar Examiners, we cannot accommodate students who defer their exams indefinitely. Your enrollment form (emailed to you separately) indicates the exam date you’ve enrolled to take. Your payment is a license for that exam date only.

• Our policy allows you to defer your licensed exam date ONE TIME to the next bar date provided you give us written notice before the licensed bar exam date and pay at that time a fee as shown on the Deferral Fees Page of our Online Order Form (http://order.celebration-bar-exam-review.com ). Each subsequent deferral requires a fee and after the first deferral, there is a higher Retake charge to continue in the course.

• Finally, we’ll do our best to accommodate your needs within the structure of the course. As a smaller, undoubtedly somewhat idiosyncratic course, you’ll notice that we have our share of mistakes: broken files, typos and other assorted annoyances. We’ll fix them promptly when brought to our attention (though we respond better to kindness than anger). If you thought you were purchasing an impersonal, slick, corporate course, you’ll probably want to return the materials now…

Whew, we’re glad you decided to stay! Now, let’s get to work…

INTRODUCTION TO THE MULTISTATE EXAM

The Multistate Bar Exam consists of 200 four-option multiple-choice questions prepared by the American College Testing Service for the National Conference of Bar Examiners. Of the 200 questions, 190 are graded and 10 are “pre-test” questions that do not count in the grade. The pre-test questions are not identified as such in the exam. Candidates answer 100 questions in the three-hour morning session and the remaining 100 questions in the three-hour afternoon session. Beginning with the Feb 2015 exam there have been a roughly equal number of questions in torts, contracts and sales, constitutional law, criminal law and procedure, evidence, property, and Federal Civil Procedure & Jurisdictions. Specified percentages of the questions in each subject are devoted to particular topics of those subjects. For example, nine of the 27 evidence questions test the hearsay rule and its exceptions. The Celebration Bar Review materials are designed to reflect the relative weights of the topics tested.

GRADING THE MULTISTATE BAR EXAMINATION

The candidate is first given a “raw score,” i.e., the number of questions answered correctly out of the 190 that count towards grading. No deduction is made for wrong answers, so it is important to answer all questions, even if the answer is a random guess. The raw score is then adjusted by adding points to achieve the “scaled score.” The number of points added is determined by a complex formula which compares the difficulty of the current exam to the difficulty of the July 1973 Exam. The comparative performance of students on 60 “control” questions, 30 of which have been given on a previous February examination and 30 of which have been given on a previous July examination, form the basis for determining the difficulty of each exam. Past grading practice indicates that you can expect from 10 to 18 points to be added to your raw score to determine your scaled score.

COMBINATION OF THE MULTISTATE GRADE WITH LOCAL EXAM GRADE TO DETERMINE PASSING SCORES

The National Conference of Bar Examiners does not prescribe the score which an applicant must obtain on the Multistate Bar Exam in order to pass it or the entire bar exam. Each state determines both the way in which the applicant’s Multistate score will be combined with the score on the local portion of the exam, and the minimum passing score. The next chapter of this Study Guide describes the procedure that this jurisdiction uses.

!5

THE MULTISTATE COURSE

The Multistate course consists of thorough substantive texts, lectures on the testable points of each subject, and practice with approximately 1,900 Multistate-type multiple-choice questions, many of them actual past Multistate Bar Exam questions released by the National Conference of Bar Examiners.

MATERIALS USED WITH THE MULTISTATE COURSE

The written materials for the Multistate Course consist of two text volumes (one containing Constitutional Law, Criminal Law & Procedure, and Property; the other containing Torts, Contracts & Sales, Evidence and Federal Civ Pro & Jurisdiction), the Multistate Workbook (containing a discussion of Multistate test-taking techniques, several complete Multistate practice examinations, and the Nutshells of Law), and two Question Volumes.

OVERVIEW OF THE MULTISTATE COURSE

PHASE 1: LEARNING THE LAW: The first emphasis of the course centers on mastering the principles of Multistate law which will allow you to achieve a satisfactory score on the Multistate Bar Exam. In order to accomplish this, you will need to study the substantive law as it is presented in the text materials and/or the lectures, and work through the Multistate questions as they are presented in the questions volumes.

PHASE 2: REVIEW and EXAMINATION PRACTICE: The course will allow you to test your abilities as to the substance and the techniques necessary to pass the Multistate Bar Exam. You should first review your performance on the questions answered up to that date to ensure that you have the knowledge and skills necessary to pass the Multistate Bar Exam. Sample Multistate exams will also be presented in the format of the actual Multistate Exam. Your performance on the questions will either assure you that you have the requisite knowledge and skills, or will indicate where you should best spend the remaining study time to ensure that you will acquire that knowledge and skill.

All of these elements are described in further detail on the following pages.

!6

PHASE I: LEARNING THE LAW

The centerpiece of the Multistate Course is the Celebration Bar Review Personal Trainer™ method of approaching questions, which is available to you in printed question and answer volumes. This method uses carefully selected Multistate-type multiple-choice questions (in conjunction with our lectures and substantive volumes) to both teach and test you on the important substantive rules of law tested on the Multistate Bar Exam. The Personal Trainer™ method presents you with all of the important concepts tested on the Multistate Bar Exam in a logical and efficient manner. (Later, during Phase II of the course, you will be presented with sample exams that test you on your substantive knowledge and test-taking skills in the format of the actual Multistate Bar Exam.)

THE RECOMMENDED METHOD

The course is designed to provide flexibility so that you can tailor the course to suit your own special needs. Thus, it is important to give some guidance as to the various approaches that you may take in utilizing the materials provided. The Recommended Method should best suit the needs of the vast majority of students taking the course. This method is appropriate to all students except those who have severely restricted schedules or those who already have a significant background in the subjects on the Multistate Bar Exam. (Such students should see the method outlined below in "Alternative 1: the Expedited Method.")

You will need to lay the substantive groundwork before you begin to work on the questions. Ideally, you should listen to the lecture first and then review the notes on difficult areas before working on the questions.

Once you have prepared for each subject, you should begin as soon as possible thereafter to work on the questions in that subject. You should begin with the first question and work your way through to Question 100 in that subject. Each subject contains questions covering, in general, all the issues tested on the Multistate Bar Exam. In order to take maximum advantage of the Personal Trainer Method, you should always pick your answer to each question and then read the analysis of your answer before proceeding to consider the next question. If you got the question right, you should quickly read why you got the question right (without reviewing the incorrect choices to that question) and then proceed to the next question. However, if there was a close second choice for you, you should probably review why that choice was wrong. If you got the question wrong, you should try the question again until you get it right. This way you will take full and efficient advantage of the opportunity to learn from any mistakes that you have made.

Whatever you do, you should not skip questions or you would be completely unfamiliar with some issues that you must understand in order to succeed on the Multistate Bar Exam.

!7

ALTERNATIVE 1: THE EXPEDITED METHOD

You may choose instead to proceed directly to the questions, especially if you feel that you already have a sufficient background in the subjects tested on the Multistate Bar Exam. Then, you can use the organized approach of the Personal Trainer™ method to test your knowledge, and to teach you the law that you didn't already know. The disadvantage of this method is that the predictive value of this phase of the question practice will be diminished. Your scores will be negatively affected by the fact that you have not done the usual substantive groundwork. Still, there are practice exams which will be available to you and which should have true predictive integrity.

PHASE 2: REVIEW AND EXAMINATION PRACTICE

Review

In order to take full advantage of the study method, it is important not only that you practice on questions, but that you review and analyze your performance.

In general, we recommend that students proceed through their initial question practice on all seven subjects before they return to review their performance on any one subject. (Otherwise, it is entirely too easy to get bogged down, when continued progress is key to completing the course successfully.)

Once you have determined in which categories your performance was insufficient, you will need to brush up on your understanding of the law. First of all, you can read the applicable text, and/or Nutshells of Law. Then, you should proceed to review any questions that you got wrong the first time, and do any questions that you have not already done.

At the very least, you should review the Multistate questions you got wrong in the final weeks before the bar exam. This will focus on your substantive and exam-taking weaknesses and sharpen your edge to take the actual Exam. This is perhaps the most critical step of your final preparation for the actual Multistate Bar Exam. You should first try to analyze why you answered each question incorrectly in the first place. Most commonly, it is because you did not know the applicable substantive law. You should have already corrected this mistake by reviewing the applicable law. If you knew the law but answered the question incorrectly because you misread the question or did not understand the way the Examiners used the distracters, you should try to learn from your mistake so that you will not make it again. Occasionally, you will answer incorrectly because the legal conclusions you reached on questions involving a judgment call were different from those the Examiners believed were correct. This inevitably occurs on some of the questions on the Multistate Bar Exam and should not be of concern; a few problems with judgment calls will not seriously affect Multistate scores. Remember that you can get about one out of every three questions wrong on the Multistate Bar Exam and still pass it quite handily.

!8

EXAMINATION PRACTICE

After using the Personal Trainer™ approach to learn the law as it is tested on the Multistate Bar Exam, it is important to practice your skills on some sample practice exams, which will present the questions in the format of the actual Multistate Bar Exam. These exams should not be taken until you have completed the learning module part of the Personal Trainer™ question practice.

The practice examinations are found in the Testing Workbook, with an answer key. These tests should be taken at the time shown on your Syllabus. The exams include the scaled scoring which was applied to all bar takers, and as such, are the best predictor of your performance on the MBE. You should strive for a minimum raw score of 130 questions answered correctly out of the 200 questions. After you complete the MBE I exam, be certain to listen to the Multistate Workshop Lectures for a full discussion of each question on the exam.

Wherever possible, take these exams under true exam conditions. You should try to do each set of questions as they are presented on the actual Multistate Bar Exam -- 100 questions in each 3-hour session.

MEMORIZING THE NUTSHELLS OF LAW

The Nutshells of Law for each subject are found in the Testing Workbook. The Nutshells were developed by summarizing the principles of substantive law which most often govern the correct answer to Multistate questions. When completing questions, you should try to fix these Nutshells in your mind and observe how they determined the answer to the questions. These rules of law will likely control the answers to more than half of the questions that you will encounter on the actual Multistate Bar Exam. As you near the end of your preparation, you should again review the Nutshells of Law and commit them to memory. When your decision between two tough choices depends on knowing a rule of law, it is important to have that knowledge at your fingertips.

CONCLUSION

General advice concerning the test-taking techniques that must be applied when taking the Multistate Bar Exam can be found in the Testing Workbook and should be read as early as possible in the course.

By diligently preparing the assigned questions and intelligently assessing why questions were answered incorrectly, you will find that your Multistate skills improve substantially during the course. You can continue to improve those skills by following the advice given in this introduction until you reach a level of proficiency which will enable you to pass the Multistate Bar Exam. This proficiency is easily and accurately measured when testing is in the multiple-choice format. Some students will have to work harder than others to achieve

!9

the required proficiency, but all the tools are here and any law school graduate can be successful if the required effort is expended.

Taking the Multistate Bar Exam requires intense concentration for a six-hour period. The ability to read carefully and think clearly during the exam is essential to success. Therefore, candidates should arrive at the test site well rested. You should not study the day before the exam; instead, you should rest and relax. You should be sure to arrive at the exam site on time. If necessary, stay at a nearby hotel, rather than risk a long drive the morning of the exam.

There is no easy way to conquer an exam as difficult and comprehensive as the Multistate Bar Exam except through carefully directed hard work over a sustained period of time. This program should help you through this ordeal successfully.

EXAM FORMAT OF THE MULTISTATE BAR EXAM (WEDNESDAY)

The MBE has 200 multiple choice questions, 100 in the three-hour morning session and 100 in the three hour afternoon session. This means that candidates have about 1 minute and 40 seconds for each question. The candidate’s raw score is the number of questions answered correctly. To that score a scaling factor is added, which has averaged 10 to 15 points on recent years. Thus, a total of 120-125 questions answered correctly will probably translate into a scaled score of 135-140. It is this scaled score that the Bar Examiners use in grading.

The National Median Scaled Score for the Multistate has been approximately 140 -144 for the past several years.
