I learned the hard way that I did not practice enough essays when I attempted the bar exam before. I believe strongly that the key to passing the bar exam is to practice, practice, practice even though you do not believe you know enough substantive law. Get copies of your State's essay questions or contact the National Conference of Bar Examiners (www.ncbe.org) and order copies of the Multistate Essay Exams. You should work through no less than 80 practice essay exams before the real exam in February. Initially, it will be slow going. Use your notes, books or outlines but move towards taking the essay exams under test conditions. Believe all who tell you to follow IRAC!!! Keep it simple but lawyer like. The secret is in the analysis not the conclusion.
Best of luck!
