As you study for the exam, you'll want to constantly check in to make sure that you're absorbing the information from the lessons. So we built a couple of ways for you to do that right into the course.
The first is in the lessons themselves. So, for example, let's go into the Solicitation lesson. As you listen to the lesson, you'll find towards the end an assessment question or two.
Now, these aren't designed to mimic the multiple-choice MBE questions. Rather, they're just designed to make sure you comprehend the stuff you just listened to. You know, it's kind of like putting you on the spot to give you a chance to really lodge what you learned into your mind.
So let's say I'm reading this question. I think it's (A)? Oh, nope, it's not (A). How about (B)? Yeah, there we go. It's (B), and you'll see a little explanation popped up underneath.
In addition to the assessment questions embedded within the lessons, at the end of each class, say, the class on Inchoate Crimes, you also find these comprehension checks, like this one right here. Let's click into it, and you'll see that this is actually an MBE question, right?
So in contrast to assessment questions, this is a question that the bar examiners wrote, and, of course, this question covers the topics that you just listened to, and it's meant to test the knowledge you've just gained. Okay, so let's have a look.
I'm reading the stimulus, question stem, and I think, is it (A)? Let's see. Nope, it's not (A). It's (D). You see that the right answer is highlighted. And here the percentages are telling you what percentage of students chose the answer. As you can see here, 6% chose (A).
Now, a little bit further down, you'll see these topics, and hovering over the topics will reveal the concepts that the question tests and how the concepts fit into the bigger picture outline of what's going on.
And then finally, as you scroll even further down, you'll find the audio explanation of the question. This is where the professor explains what's going on, and if you prefer to read, well, here's a written explanation.
And two more things I want to show you. At the end of every subject, you'll encounter a lesson called Final Tips. So this is the lesson on final tips for crim law and procedure. This is just a text lesson, but unlike the other lessons, it's not so theoretical. It's a very pragmatic lesson on how you should approach criminal law as you will encounter it on the bar exam.
Now, the last thing I want to show you is our outline that we have for each subject, or I should really say outlines, because we have three versions: full-length, condensed, and attack.
The full-length outline is the most detailed and longest of the outlines, so if you're really rusty on the particular subject, you want to start here. If you feel like you've got a pretty good handle on the subject, then maybe you want to start here with the condensed outline.
But whichever one you use, and you can definitely use both, ultimately you'll want to use the attack outline because this is the one that gives you a really high-level, bird's-eye view of the subject. And this is the outline that you'll transition to as the date of the bar exam approaches.
