So glad I found this video. Despite it being aged, I’ll approach my future plans substantially more confident knowing what he just explained. Your candor is admirable.
Thanks a lot Jackson for your frank, candid and sincere advice. The world needs outspoken people like you.
Thank you. I hope this video helps explain the important ways to actually pass the exam.
This is quite helpful.Frank truth is appreciated more bythose who appreciate discipline.
I missed it by one point and then got 5 points lower on the next one, literally by repeating the exact same tactics albeit some hindering circumstances again and I know it I’m doing it, yet I think this July 2020 my year
Goodluck, buddy. . . from the Philippines
@J. C. - The July 2020 exam was definitely a mess, with no one knowing if their state was going through with the exam in July, delaying to September, or remotely offering it in October. I was lucky. I got to take the exam in a mask. Twelve hours of testing in a mask, lol
You got this fam 2 years later I believe in you big time
You helped me years ago. Thank you.
Glad to hear it!
Thank you for this realistic advise 🙏
This guy is awesome! He’s so brutally honest. Great personality! Do you know of a good audio book to use as a study tool?
Brittany Humeniuk - thanks (I think!) I don’t know of any bar review audio books but my students use my lectures in audio form and that seems to work well for the auditory learners.
In regards to writing, speaking, and understanding English to pass the bar exam, I'm going to have to disagree with this line of thinking. I know a Chinese lady who could barely speak and understand English, and she was able to pass the California Bar on her first attempt. So, this doesn't apply to all foreign applicants.
Damien, thanks for your comment and congratulations to your friend. Obviously, there will be a few exceptions but they don’t prove the rule. Over 30 years of teaching and working with literally thousands of applicants, I’ve seen that foreign attorneys who have difficulty with English perform at much lower scores and with a pass rate well under 10%. That’s a statistical reality and the one-off example doesn’t invalidate the essential truth.
This guy knows his stuff!
The property mbe questions is what a lot of people have a hard time with.
I have PTSD from recording statutes and the grantor grantee index. Maybe an IIED claim brewing?
Thanks for the information. I am taking my fourth FYLSX this October. Ouch, this has been painful. Any advice?
Joe, I understand your pain. Maybe it's time to DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT. www.celebrationbarreview.com/webinar
Jackson Mumey how much time is required to successfully study for the FYLX in your program? (1st. 252 Essays, 73 MBE; 2nd. 242 Essays, 63 MBE; 3rd. 242 Essays, 73 MBE; total score on FYLSX 503, 463, and 538; respectively. While the score to pass is 560, the last three years all those with a 540 passed on a second review.
I'd be glad to talk with you about your situation. Use this link to schedule a call: calendly.com/jacksonatcbr/consult

Group 3
This is really helpful!
Thankyou Jackson,Appreciate your effort!
excellent commentary
preach.
Great suggestions!
It would be A LOT better if you had little breaks in your video with a BIG "1" or "2," etc, so if the viewer is not in that group you are mentioning, they can skip to the next group
thanks - great suggestion!
Wow!
Why was the bar exam a lot easier back then?
Yes, the bar exam was easier in the 80's and 90's and began to grow increasingly difficult after 2000.
so true......
(4) is the one I disagree with here. I don't see how "learning the law", as you described it, is much different from simply memorizing it for the bar exam. Unless "memorization" and "learning the law" are terms used differently in your company's methodology than in Themis/Barbri/Kaplan, while not seeing it as sufficient, I'd view memorization as a highly necessary thing to do in preparation for the exam. The exam rewards knee-jerk, "I remember this one"-type thinking; pure a priori exercise of reason during the exam is a sure shot in the foot to anyone's score
Soothsayer, thanks for your comments. There is actually a very different educational pedagogy between memorization and knowledge of any subject. Our experience over 25 years with thousands of students shows that memorization is far less effective on the bar exam than using the law as you understand it in the service of arguments. If you want to memorize for the bar exam, far-be-it for me to stop you, but check the pass rates nationally (where the companies you mention control over 95% of the bar prep) and you'll see a dismal rate of success with that methodology. By comparison, we've exceeded those rates consistently with our approach.
Being a recent bar examinee (and passer) I will unfortunately not be able to commit myself to any more bar prep (one summer sacrificed was good enough for me!). I do see that a person who solely memorizes for the bar exam is not doing themselves much of a favor - in fact, I used policy-type thinking on about half the essays for this past MEE portion of the exam, and did pretty well, despite not knowing ahead of time what the law said about particular things (like that crazy Market Share analysis for the products liability section in Torts). I guess my question is whether or not your company's method is suggesting that memorization isn't an effective method of studying for the bar, or just whether the types of memorization techniques advocated by other bar companies aren't helpful to students (which I'd agree there is strong evidence for). Anyone who thinks they can literally absorb every bit of what you need to know for the bar might be disillusioned, but I still think the process of memorization is the strongest way to study. I guess I'd like to understand what "using the law as [I] understand it in the service of arguments" would mean in comparison to driving one piece of law after another into my memory in prep.
I'm a law reader studying for the 2020 bar. I'd agree that while there are some things that you can't get around memorizing, there is a big difference between learning and memorizing. I find that by reading case law, I'm able to understand and retain a subject better as to why the law is what it is and the story that went behind making that law. Straight up memorization doesn't stay with me for a long period, but understanding the concept does stay with me.
