Printable Flashcards

A printable version of the flashcards is also available in PDF format for those who like to study in a paper hard-copy format.

Step 3.  Practice

The Perfect Practice Materials.  Use the most current & relevant practice materials for YOUR bar exam study. 

Studying the law is one thing, but you’ll also need practice to pass.  To that end, we have developed smart study tools and licensed real MBE, Essay, & PT Questions straight from the NCBE and California Committee of Bar Examiners.

California Essay Practice

Real Practice Essays

You must actually practice writing essays to do well on the Essay Section!  No matter how painful.  We recommend writing at least 1-2 essays per subject area.

SmartBarPrep gives you access to actual Past California Bar Essays.  Use these to practice writing essays under timed conditions.

Includes:

  • Real CA Essay Questions for 22+ years (over 250 essays spanning Feb. 2000 – Feb. 2022).
  • Two full Sample Answers for every essay. These answers received high grades by passing examinees, and are perfect to grade yourself to see how your answer measures up.
  • Clickable table of contents to easily find a particular Subject, Essay Question, or Answer. The Essays are organized in reverse chronological order by subject tested.  That way you can see the most recent essays first or click on a particular essay for a subject you want to work on.

California PT Practice

Real Practice PT’s

The California Performance Test (PT) is often an overlooked section of the exam, despite the fact that it accounts for decent portion of your score.  With that in mind, we encourage practicing at least 1 question per Task type.

In our PT Practice Materials, we’ve made that easy by organizing past PT’s by Task so you can easily jump into practice.

Includes:

  • Real newer current-format California PT exams (10 questions from July 2017 – Feb. 2022).
  • Plus two Selected Examinee Answers for each California PT included.
  • Real MPT exams for 22+ years (over 100 questions from July 1997 – July 2022). These mimic the current newer-format California PT’s and are excellent for practice.
  • MPT Point Sheets that the bar exam graders use to score MPT questions so you can grade yourself.
  • A clickable Table of Contents to easily find a particular Task Type, PT Question, Selected Answer, or Point Sheet. The PT questions are organized by Task in reverse chronological order, so you can start with the newest questions first.

MBE Practice

800+ Real MBE Questions

These are the most current & recently released questions from the NCBE – released from 2014 to 2022.  

We’ve taken all the guesswork out of finding the best MBE practice questions, and offer them at the absolute best price.

What You’ll Receive in this MBE Question Pack:

MBE Complete Practice Exam
(200 Questions + Explanations)

 

The MBE Complete Practice Exam is a new full-length simulated MBE, and includes:

  • 200 MBE questions selected from recent exams;
  • updated items consistent with current law; and
  • annotations for each question, explaining why the answer is correct and the distractors are wrong.

All 200 questions are from actual past administrations of the MBE bar exam, PLUS answer explanations are provided so you can review why an answer is correct or incorrect.

This is the only full-length simulated MBE offered by NCBE (just released in September 2021)… and SmartBarPrep has licensed access to it, so you can be the most prepared for the MBE section of the bar exam!

Four Practice Exams

Each Practice Exam includes 100 questions from six MBE subject areas: 

  1. Constitutional Law
  2. Contracts
  3. Criminal Law and Procedure
  4. Evidence
  5. Real Property
  6. Torts

Note:  Civil Procedure was not tested on the MBE until February of 2015, and for that reason is not included in this study set.  But rest assured, we have you covered with our Civil Procedure Mini Practice Exam (see below).

Detailed Explanations for the
400 Practice Questions

Explanations are essential to effective MBE Practice.  If you do tons of questions, but never review explanations of why your answer was correct or incorrect, then you’re missing the point of doing the practice questions in the first place.

Knowing why your answers were incorrect or incorrect will propel your studying to the next level.  This will not only solidify your MBE knowledge, but also eliminates any wild guess (that resulted in a correct answer) from being bypassed and not reviewed.

Civil Procedure Mini Practice Exam

Test your knowledge of Civil Procedure with 56 Official MBE Questions, including the first ever actual used Civil Procedure questions released.

PLUS, included are the official answer explanations written by the NCBE for each question – including the ones just released in 2019 and 2020.

Mini Practice Exams by Subject

Each mini-exam includes 30 MBE Questions drawn from recent exams.  The mini-exams are grouped individually by subject area, followed by an Answer Key.

Each group of questions is prefaced by the official Subject Matter Scope Outline released by the NCBE.

There are no explanations for these sets, but they are the most recent questions released by the NCBE and are the closest thing to the actual MBE questions still used on the test today.

Each Smart Study System Package Also Includes:

Smart Guide to the MBE

Our Smart Guide to the MBE breaks down and explains exactly how to prepare for the MBE section of the bar exam, including the study method the creator of SmartBarPrep used to score a 171.1 on the MBE (top 5%)!  We did all the investigative research for you.

Also included are tips, strategies, and step-by-step approaches to maximize your score, including:

  • Understanding & Deconstructing the MBE – Format, Subjects/Law Tested, Timing & Pace
  • How Many Questions to Expect for Each Subject and Sub-Topic (Chart Included)

  • MBE Preparation the Right Way … Our Step-by-Step Study Strategy to Obtain a High MBE Score

30 Day Guarantee
If after reading through our outlines and study guides, you aren’t happy for any reason, just email us within 30 days of purchase and you’ll receive a full refund.  We obviously don’t think it’ll come to that, but if you’re even the least bit worried, then put your mind at ease.

The Secret Behind SmartBarPrep

The problem with most preparation materials is that they don’t do enough hard research using ACTUAL exams. The typical bar exam outline or study guide tells you every rule imaginable but does not provide any clear guide as to what rules matter most.

It got us thinking…could we do better?

Our answer, SmartBarPrep’s Priority Outline, is based on the analysis of past California Bar Exam essays.  It would take you over 1,000 hours of reading, analyzing, compiling, and drafting to equal the information at your fingertips in our outlines and study guides.

Here is the method used to create the Priority Outline:

The California Committee of Bar Examiners releases past exam questions along with student answers for each question approximately 3 months after the exam.  This has allowed us to compile statistics from the last 43 California Bar Exams (July 2001 to July 2022) by analyzing every issue and rule that was tested.

Every topic tested on those California Bar Exam essays is compiled here!

The 80/20 Rule in Action

We are a firm believer in the 80/20 Rule developed by Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto. In short, the rule says that in almost anything in life, only a few things (the 20%) are essential, while the rest (the remaining 80%) are trivial.

After thousands of hours in review, the SmartBarPrep team proved that this rule can be applied to the bar exam.  In line with the 80/20 Rule, patterns emerged.  The most noticeable was that the bar examiners tested some material more frequently than others.

For example, whenever an Evidence question appeared we found that over 80% of the time a component of the question dealt with the “General Hearsay Rule”.  Since this rule is tested frequently, it makes sense to spend more time memorizing it than, say, the rule of “Prohibition Against Jury Investigations”, which appeared only once in the last 20+ years.

Also in line with the 80/20 Rule, focusing 80% of your time and energy on the 20% of the rules of law that are tested most frequently will maximize your chances of passing. Don’t just work hard; work smart by focusing on the right things.

That is exactly what our study materials do:  They show you what is most important and where to focus your efforts.

Here is a chart that shows just how often rules are repeated:

  • July 2022 93% 93%
  • February 2022 98% 98%
  • July 2021 97% 97%
  • February 2021 89% 89%
  • October 2020 91% 91%
  • February 2020 95% 95%
  • July 2019 89% 89%
  • February 2019 82% 82%
  • July 2018 95% 95%
  • February 2018 96% 96%
  • July 2017 90% 90%
  • February 2017 92% 92%
  • July 2016 92% 92%
  • February 2016 90% 90%
  • July 2015 85% 85%
  • February 2015 93% 93%
  • July 2014 85% 85%
  • February 2014 84% 84%
  • July 2013 69% 69%
  • February 2013 75% 75%
  • July 2012 83% 83%

Our Priority Outlines, Smart Sheets, and study tools integrate well with review courses because each is arranged in terms of frequency and topic, saving you the hassle of trying to figure out which rules are the most important to study.

SmartBarPrep has helped thousands of examinees pass the bar exam since 2011!

“Passed CA on first attempt. I found your materials so incredibly helpful for the essays. I am recommending them to everyone. My essays went from being my worst nightmare, to being easier than the MBEs, thanks to memorized rule statements all located in one place. The rules in order of percentage tested (%) was also super valuable.”
Jason. Santa Clara University School of Law (Passed California bar exam on 1st try using SmartBarPrep).

“I passed the bar!  I wanted to thank you for the amazing outline.  Your outline was all I read for the essay portion, and it really helped me out.  It was very organized and it had all the rules that I needed for the essays.  Thank you again and have a great day.”
Arezoo B. Santa Barbara & Ventura Colleges of Law (Passed California bar exam using SmartBarPrep).

“I began studying for the February 2019 California Bar Exam in September of last year. After extensive self-study, I still felt unsure of myself three weeks before the exam. I downloaded your outline and found it incredibly helpful. The rules were accurately and clearly laid out. I really do believe that I was able to pass because of the materials you provided for a reasonable price. Thank you again.”
Nathan S. (Passed California bar exam using SmartBarPrep).
