Bar exam supplements: Boost your confidence and boost your score

Share This Article:

The bar exam is too important to leave anything up to chance. You want every advantage you can get in your bar preparation. That means targeting any potential knowledge gaps in the areas you know you need the most assistance.

Bar exam supplements can offer a way for you to get an added leg-up on learning key bar exam concepts. You’ll gain skills and confidence as you synthesize relevant law and practice what you learn. Supplements allow you to pick and choose what you need when you need it 

With the addition of supplements to your bar preparation, you’re in control over your learning.

  • Amplify your understanding of critical concepts.
  • Work on additional practice questions to reinforce key principles.
  • Stay organized and track your progress.
  • Make notes as needed.

Choose from a variety of bar exam supplements from programs like AdaptiBar and Critical Pass, two premier brands, to know you’re wasting zero time while maximizing your opportunities to grasp the law.

AdaptiBar MBE Simulator

Your bar prep course will largely include what you need to pass the bar exam, with an emphasis on reviewing for the state-specific essay portion of the exam rather than preparing for the Multistate Bar Exam (MBE). If you’re feeling particularly nervous about the exam, or the MBE specifically, the AdaptiBar MBE Simulator can provide that added sense of security you might need. This popular online bar supplement allows you to “drill” on additional MBE test questions taken from the actual bar exam, including the newest released questions from the National Conference of Bar Examiners (NCBE).

Every question you answer comes with a detailed explanation, so you never have to wonder where you went wrong. You’ll get immediate feedback to help you know where to focus your study time and how your performance compares to other students.

If you want to go a step further, add video tutorials to your bar prep experience. They’re included in the AdaptiBar Writing Guide at no additional charge to help you build substantive knowledge while learning unique skills for maximum points on the written portions of the bar exam.
