Re: CA Baby Bar Multiple Choice Questions
Posted by Flemings is Good on 8/27/08

    I used the following to pass the baby bar:

    Flemings' Volume I multistate book (red book)
    Finz Multistate Method

    Between these two books, they pretty much test every single nuance on the MBE
    portion. I got 80 out of 100 right on the baby bar by just using those.

    I also bought PMBR's blue and red books, as well as Bar Passers Volume I MBEs, and
    even did the green books with the real MBEs released from the CBE. They are
    overkill. Just memorize the nuances and know why you got each question right or
    wrong in each of the two books I listed above.

    Flemings is a good review, especially if you can do it in person. If not, get his
    Exam Solutions CDs and outlines. If you memorize and apply his outlines for each
    subject, you can pass the baby bar on your first attempt.

    There is nothing baby about the baby bar, but you can pass it if you are prepared.
    The key, I believe, is doing well on the MBE. I did bad on the essays (75% and 60%
    on torts essays, a 75% percent on contracts, and a horrible 55% on crimes). You
    need a good MBE score, as it is rare to get a 90% on an essay, but it has been
    done. You never know.

    Never tried adaptibar, but lots of people online have tried to get me to sign up
    because they get some sort of referral bonus if they sign people up. I dunno. Seems
    like a scam to me.
