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 Resources: Private Bar Exam Tutoring (https://barexamtoolbox.com/private-bar-exam-tutoring/) Lean Sheets (http://www.leansheets.com/) SmartBar Prep (https://www.smartbarprep.com/) BarEssays.com (https://www.BarEssays.com ) Writing of the Week (https://barexamtoolbox.com/writing-of-the-week-wow-bar-essay-workshop/) Adaptibar (https://www.adaptibar.com/) Strategies and Tactics for the MBE (https://www.amazon.com/Strategies-Tactics-MBE-Book-ebook/dp/B01G0Y38W6) 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.
