Bar exam supplements: Boost your confidence and boost your score

Share This Article:

The bar exam is too important to leave anything up to chance. You want every advantage you can get in your bar preparation. That means targeting any potential knowledge gaps in the areas you know you need the most assistance.

If you choose to augment your overall course, bar exam supplements can offer a way for you to get a leg-up on your learning of key bar exam concepts. You gain skills and confidence as you synthesize relevant law and practice what you learn. Supplements allow you to pick and choose what you need when you need it. You get efficient and effective study aids without paying for any help you don’t really need.

With the addition of supplements to your bar preparation, you’re in control over your learning.

  • Amplify your understanding of critical concepts.
  • Work on additional practice questions to reinforce key principles.
  • Stay organized and track your progress.
  • Make notes as needed.

Know you’re getting well-rounded prep on tested topics

While preparing for the bar exam, it’s not uncommon for students to have doubts about certain areas, say writing for the bar or even memorizing black letter law. Supplements work to ease those doubts with best-in-class solutions to boost your skills in areas where you know you could use targeted assistance.

Choose from a variety of bar exam supplements from programs like AdaptiBar and Critical Pass, two premier brands, to know you’re wasting zero time while maximizing your opportunities to grasp the law.

Adaptibar MBE Simulator

Your bar prep course will largely include what you need to pass the bar, with an emphasis on reviewing for the state-specific essay portion of the exam rather than preparation for the Multistate Bar Exam (MBE). If you’re feeling particularly nervous about the exam, or the MBE specifically, the AdaptiBar MBE Simulator can provide that added sense of security you might need. This popular online bar supplement allows you to “drill” on additional MBE test questions taken from the actual bar exam, including the newest released questions from the National Conference of Bar Examiners (NCBE).

Every question you answer comes with a detailed explanation, so you never have to wonder where you went wrong. You’ll get immediate feedback to help you know where to focus your study time and how your performance compares to other students. 

AdaptiBar Writing Guide

Writing for the MPT and MEE on the bar exam is unlike any other form of tested writing. The AdaptiBar Writing Guide uses similar messaging as the MBE Simulator to appeal to any concerns you might have about writing your bar exam essays. It’s like having a virtual bar exam writing tutor.

If you want to go a step further, add video tutorials to your bar prep experience. They’re included in The AdaptiBar Writing Guide at no additional charge to help you build substantive knowledge while learning unique skills to get maximum points on the written portions of the bar exam.

Critical Pass flashcards

Critical Pass flashcards synthesize relevant law and allow you to learn and memorize your way. Enhance your understanding of key bar exam concepts by adding your own notes, mnemonics and state distinctions to each card. Flashcards come with free shipping and instant access to a comprehensive digital platform for six months. 

AdaptiBar MBE video lectures

How great would it be to have an MBE expert in your corner to help you better understand how to approach an MBE question? MBE video lectures are a practical way to gain confidence in applying your substantive knowledge on the MBE while learning key strategies for passing the bar from someone who knows the exam well. AdaptiBar’s video lectures bring Professor Jonathan Grossman, the country’s top MBE expert, to any device (even offline) to deliver concise videos covering all 7 MBE subjects.
