If I have failed the NY bar exam taking barbri the first time, should I take barbri again?

Answer 1

I have heard this complaint many times from my bar-takers. If your learning style doesn't fit the methods used for review, not much will change the second or even third time around. Tailoring your style of learning to the content and diagnosing your weak areas be it black letter law and/or test taking strategies (falling for the red herring answer), is the best way to study for the bar. Many think that just a general knowledge of the law is sufficient, but you really have to know black letter law like the back of your hand, but even then you need to demonstrate that you can "think like a lawyer" in issue spotting and applying law to facts and seeing both sides of an issue. I can help you do all that.
