The second of today's posts, this one focuses on books authored by those in the field.
Mary Basick (Southwestern) & Tina Schindler (Southwestern), MBE Decoded – Multistate Bar Exam (Wolters Kluwer, April 30, 2021).
From the publisher's description:
MBE Decoded provides a fresh approach to MBE study which makes the vast amount of MBE tested rules manageable while providing guidance on the best way to solve MBE questions to maximize scores. The authors exhaustively studied and analyzed the construction of the MBE, and conducted detailed analysis of every NCBE released MBE question and many non-NCBE questions. As a result, the book identifies rule coverage patterns, and equally importantly, shares the tactics utilized by the bar examiners to entice students into selecting the wrong answer. The book also provides instruction on the MBE test taking techniques bar takers can employ to maximize their scores. The result is a clear, concise, user-friendly MBE resource that also works well for early bar prep or as a textbook for an MBE course.
