Preparing for a bar exam is intense and requires you to put in sufficient time and energy. One of the keys to being prepared for your bar exams is to start preparing early. Don’t wait until the last moment and then start trying to cram everything in your head. Give yourself sufficient time to study before the exams. Here are two important tips you can use when taking your bar exam.
Multiple Choice Questions
The structure of the Florida bar exam is similar to any other bar exam, but the scoring is different. Many applicants make a mistake of not spending sufficient time on the multiple choice questions. There are three subjects that are tested in the multiple choice section, and they are incredibly hard. This does not mean that you don’t have to study to take the multiple choice questions. You should plan to get at least half of the multi-choice questions correct. The three subjects that feature in the multiple-choice section are; Florida Civil and Criminal Procedure, Florida Evidence, and Business Associations and Florida Wills. Make sure you study these subjects and score well on the multiple choice questions.
Prepare for New Subjects
When you are studying to be an attorney in Florida, you will need to be prepared for any new subjects the jurisdiction adds to the list of subjects. Of course, this brings anxiety and uncertainty. For example in 2013, there were some additions to the list of subjects. UCC3, UCC 9 and some changes to Domestic Relations and Professional Responsibility were added to the list of subjects.
