Re: Georgia Bar Exam Prep

DJ-

I took the attorney's GA bar last July (10 days after giving
birth to my 2nd child - my first being only 14 months at the
time - I don't recommend that route! LOL). I also took (and
passed) the Maryland and Florida bars. I did Bar Bri for all
three exams. I paid for Maryland and took the classes in
DC. I got the audio CD course for Florida so I studied on my
own. I just purchased the GA books from this board and
studied on my own. So I recommend Bar Bri. You're just going
to have to sit for the one day test right? The MPT is really
easy I think they have something similar in CA right. I
found it to be a test on time managment. There is a lot of
information to read, digest and sythesize but not difficult
to grasp so it's really about managing your time. I found
that to be the biggest pitfall. Of course read the essays.
I thought I had a prety good idea what they were going to
test so I only studied what I thought they's test on and
glanced over the other stuff. I was wrong about what they
actually tested and only got one of the three subjects I
thought they would test on. I found Bar Bri audio course
very helpful but it is a bit more expensive.

Good Luck.
