Episode description

Welcome back to the Bar Exam Toolbox podcast! Today, we're talking about how the bar exam poses unique challenges to foreign-trained attorneys.

In this episode, we discuss:

When and how you should start learning substantive law
Why it’s important to only take the bar exam when you are ready
Why traditional bar exam preparation courses may not be enough for foreign-trained attorneys
What resources you can use to supplement traditional bar exam preparation and simplify your approach
The extra challenge of reading and writing in a foreign language, and how to handle it
Why you must learn to write in the style the bar graders expect
How to approach multiple-choice questions (hint: with TONS of strategic practice!)
Why you can’t ignore the performance test, and how best to approach it
