Today, we're talking about what we learned about the MBE while creating the Practice of the Week (POW) MBE Workshop, and spending lots of time with the questions. In this episode, we discuss: The fact that none of the MBE questions are actually impossible, although they require very detailed knowledge of the law The best approach to figuring out the right answer to each question How by practicing with a lot of questions you will go through every nuance that could be tested Why you should keep a Missed Multiple Choice document of the rules you didn't get right How to know what's most likely to show up, and focusing the majority of your efforts on those areas A few tips to help you push through and answer every question on the exam Resources: Preparing for the MBE (http://www.ncbex.org/exams/mbe/preparing/) Practice of the Week (POW) MBE Workshop (https://barexamtoolbox.com/practice-of-the-week-pow-mbe-workshop) AdaptiBar (https://www.adaptibar.com/) Strategies and Tactics for the MBE, by Stephen Emanuel (https://www.amazon.com/Strategies-Tactics-MBE-Book-ebook/dp/B01G0Y38W6) Podcast Episode 7: A Conversation with Sean Silverman – MBE Expert (https://barexamtoolbox.com/podcast-episode-7-a-conversation-with-sean-silverman-mbe-expert/) Podcast Episode 21: How to Analyze Real MBE Questions (w/Sean Silverman) – Part 1 (https://barexamtoolbox.com/podcast-episode-21-how-to-analyze-real-mbe-questions-w-sean-silverman-part-1/) Podcast Episode 22: How to Analyze Real MBE Questions (w/Sean Silverman) – Part 2 (https://barexamtoolbox.com/podcast-episode-22-how-to-analyze-real-mbe-questions-w-sean-silverman-part-2/) Download the Transcript (https://barexamtoolbox.com/episode-50-what-we-discovered-about-the-mbe-from-explaining-lots-of-questions/) If you enjoy the podcast, we'd love a nice review and/or rating on Apple Podcasts (https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/bar-exam-toolbox-podcast-pass-bar-exam-less-stress/id1370651486) or your favorite listening app. And feel free to reach out to us directly.
