Answer 1

The Bar Exam for each state is a combination of written and multiple choice portions. Except for Washington (state) which doesn't have a multiple choice portion.

Almost every state utilizes the MBE - Multistate Bar Exam - as the multiple choice test. This covers Contracts, Torts, Constitutional Law, federal rules of Evidence, common law Crimes and federal Criminal Procedure, and Real Property law.

Each state tests different subjects in the written portion, though almost all test the MBE subjects (above). Other common subjects include Wills and Trusts, Corporations, Civil Procedure (state and/or federal) and Professional Responsibility (legal ethics).

The format for the written portions also varies. Most states have essay exams, each expected to take from 35 minutes to an hour per question. Each question includes a fact pattern, plus some number of questions (calls) that need to be answered. Most cover one subject, though cross-over questions testing two (or sometimes three) different subjects are not uncommon.

California originated the concept of the Performance Test (PT), also known as a Closed Universe Test. Unlike the Essays (which test from memory), the PT provides both facts and cases containing the relevant law. The test is the candidate's ability to extract the relevant law from the library and apply the facts to write whatever has been requested. This could be a legal memorandum, a letter to a client, and research brief, a trial journal, or pretty much anything else.

California PTs are three hours long, and we get two of them over three days (Tue and Thur afternoon). Most other states that have a PT use the Multistate Performance Tests (put out by the same people who do the MBE) and are 1.5 hours long each. Because the PTs provide the relevant law, they can cover topics not normally covered by the essays or MBE.

Those are some examples of how the written portions are structured. Details for each state, including formats and testable subjects, is available from the relevant state bar.

Answer 2

The bar exam is a test a prospective atty must pass before admittance to the bar of the state in which the test is administered. It usually consists of two tests, given over 2 days. One test is multiple choice. The other is essay.

It is part of the process of weeding out non-hackers. It costs money to take the test. It costs even more $ to take the prep course leading up to the actual test. It is an exercise in dealing with stress, as much as of knowledge.

Many law schools keep records and statistics on how many of their grads pass the bar on their first try. My school's pass rate was 95%.

Typical question on the essay would be a fact pattern including a land owner, a lot of land (e.g., 200 acres), a squatter who lives/uses a portion of the 200 acres for his/her own use for a period of time, etc. The examinee might then be asked to state whether the "poacher" has a claim of ownership in the 200 acres by means of adverse possession.

On the multiple choice, the questions are phrased such that there may be more than one correct answer, and you must choose the one that is most correct, or vice versa, which one is least correct, etc.

Its a mind game, but you must remember, the odds are usually with you.

Answer 3

Generally there are three forms of questions given: 1) multiple choice, 2) essay, and 3) performance (the examiners give a big packet of information and the test taker has to write a memo based on the information contained in the packet).

The multiple choice is usually the Multistate Bar Examination (MBE), which is 200 multiple choice questions, administered over the course of 6 hours. The MBE tests Contracts, Constitutional Law, Criminal Law, Evidence, Torts, and Real Property.
