Description
Bar Exam Success, the flagship title in Berman’s Law School Success Series, is now in its third edition. Bar Exam Success is designed to train organized thinking: the essential foundation of passing the bar exam in any jurisdiction. The new 3rd edition includes a new focus on the NextGen bar exam as well as strategies for success on the legacy UBE, California, and Nevada bar exams.
Bar Exam Success guides readers to adopt organized thinking practices for approaching 1) bar questions, 2) subjects tested on bar exams, and 3) study strategies and mindsets that lead to bar success.
Effective study strategies and powerful growth mindsets, often ignored in law school and legal publications, are vital components of bar exam success. Strategy and mindset are what help motivate students to study. And, effective study must include training. All the knowledge and rules in the world are not enough without knowing how to effectively apply law to new facts, organize time, and employ testing techniques that make the difference between passing and failing this notoriously challenging highest of high stakes exams.
Bar Exam Success is highly interactive with extensive content in the book and in accompanying online materials to take practice questions, refine and self-assess understanding of content and adapt and personalize strategies in ways to make them most useful on the actual bar exam.
Bar Exam Success provides structures, tools, and practice opportunities—along with a mindset that allows students to appreciate that bar success takes time and hard work. One cannot cram for the bar exam. Rome was not built in a day, and bar readiness does not miraculously happen just because someone graduates law school. Effective bar preparation is achieved with methodical, systemic training. Bar passage is difficult but doable, challenging and rewarding, and it can be yours with the solid foundation of Bar Exam Success.

- Read Bar Exam Success when you start bar review to carry you through the two most intensive months imaginable. The positive power messaging will make you feel like you have your own personal bar success coach and help you keep going even on the toughest days.
- Read Bar Exam Success during law school to plan ahead and pass the bar exam first time around. Imagine the bar exam as a competitive marathon; runners who expect to win will get into shape during the six-ten months prior to the event and go into high-gear training in the two months prior. Readers, like runners, need to get into “shape” before beginning their intensive training. This means 1) building knowledge “muscle”—learning the order and logic of every testable subject and the nuanced meaning of all elements of all “fair game” rules, and 2) building skills “stamina,” through methodical and strategic training in every testing format, and by working the underlying skills needed to answer every type of question.
- Read Bar Exam Success if you are repeating the bar exam. The entire second part of the book is focused on power for repeaters. You have a “been there, done that” edge. Use it. This is your exam to pass. Get the support you need, throw yourself into strategic training, and pass your next bar exam, making it your last.
