BarWrite® President Mary Campbell Gallagher, J.D., Ph.D., announces that BarWrite will offer its popular 10-day Group Coaching School, starting Sunday, June 1, 2008. "Students can see whether they are making real progress in their ability to score high on the Multistate Bar Exam (MBE)," Dr. Gallagher explains,
"because the class includes a full-day pre-test and a full-day re-test on the MBE. Students will take a full-day Multistate Bar Exam (MBE) Pre-test at the beginning of our course and an MBE Re-test midway through." BarWrite licenses the actual MBE questions from the National Conference of Bar Examiners.
BarWrite's MBE pre-test day, now scheduled for Monday, June 2, 2008, will tell students where they stand at the start of the BarWrite program. BarWrite will then teach its unique "painful but effective" study method for the MBE, and students will get the support of an MBE mentor on the telephone. The re-test, or reality check, as Dr. Gallagher calls it, will take place on Sunday, June 29, while there is still time for students to change the way they study before they take the exam. Dr. Gallagher explains, "I do not believe in using the bar exam to find out whether you are ready for the bar exam."
"Without this pre-test and re-test," Dr. Gallagher says, "students can be simply studying blindly, not knowing whether their hard work is really going to make any difference to the grade they will receive on the bar exam."
The ten-day BarWrite Group Coaching School supplements regular bar review courses like Pieper or BarBri, and it teaches students systems for boosting their grades on all of the parts of the New York bar exam. For the MBE segment, the BarWrite systems often help students raise their grades by a remarkable 20 points or more. Says BarWrite graduate Gemma Waananen Kenney:
BarWrite gives you everything you need to raise your scores, and the confidence to do it. My MBE went from a 126 to a 149!
For the essay segment, students will memorize basic law in the most-frequently-tested areas of law. During the ten-day course, students will practice on real New York essays using the BarWrite systems for structuring and writing New York essays within the required 45 minutes. These are based on the classic text of Dr. Gallagher's highly-acclaimed book Scoring High on Bar Exam Essays, which the BarWrite Press has issued with a new Appendix on "How to Do Legal Analysis." Scoring High includes 80 actual state bar exam questions, with answers in the BarWrite format. During the one-day Essay-a-Thon portion of the class, students will write five full-length New York bar exam essays under exam conditions. The ten-day course will also provide dozens of real New York essay questions with BarWrite-formatted sample answers.
For the MPT segment, students will use Dr. Gallagher's new book Perform Your Best on the Multistate Performance Test (MPT). It teaches students the Trademarked BarWrite-GRID system for writing a lawyerlike MPT task in the required 90 minutes.
