I finally passed the UBE with a score of 283, and earned a 155 on the MEE/MPT portion of the exam. I truly owe my high MEE/MPT score to the Writing Guide....It was extremely beneficial to practice writing essays and MPTs online...The tutor tips were especially helpful as were the sample answers. The Writing Guide was a wonderful resource.
The Writing Guide was a huge help for me in passing the bar on my second try. Being able to access previously tested bar questions and answer them all in one place, with hints on the side if I needed them, was pretty much the best thing I could have asked for. Additionally, when I had trouble with a topic, it was easy to find essays on that specific topic. It made my studying time more efficient. I highly recommend the Writing Guide!
As someone who earned a passing UBE score in NY after having previously failed, I can emphatically state that the RULE FUNNEL method improved my score by helping me to visualize my answer to the fact pattern and quickly organize my thoughts into a coherent answer, even when I had limited knowledge on the issue in the prompt.
The Writing Guide’s hints and tips, which I did not learn from my previous bar course, made the structure and content of my answers click, to the point where writing a bar essay almost became muscle memory. I can say with certainty that the Writing Guide deserves a lot of credit for helping me pass the bar on my second try!
