Exciting news here at Bar Exam Brief. Beginning tomorrow morning, we’re kicking off a new recurring feature here on the blog. We’ll be running this feature every day during bar exam study season. Each morning we will post an MBE question along with the possible answers. It is our hope that during the day you will come on over, check out the question, post your proposed answer, along with a comment or two to support your answer. At the end of the say, we’ll post our official MicroMash answer, as well as our explanation. We will use questions from adaptive MBE software, so these are some of the same questions you’ll eventually see if you are studying for the bar with us.
We have two motivations for doing this.
First, we believe this has strong potential to turn into a nice little community of bar exam takers twice a year. Hopefully, you’ll learn a thing or two that will help you come exam time. Justifying your selection with a sentence or two may help you better grasp the underlying issues of these questions. Who knows how this might develop. You may even meet a few virtual study buddies here.
Second, creating this community helps us give a human voice to MicroMash, which is one of the things we have been striving hard towards for the past several months. Both Maryann Herman and I will be involved in the community, posting questions and answers, and interacting with you in the comments. Maryann serves as MicroMash’s Editorial Director, while I am the Executive Director. We’re really looking forward to this project with open minds and high hopes. And who knows, it may help a few people that are on the fence about MicroMash become just a little more comfortable with us as a company — and thereby lead to higher enrollments.
So keep an eye out tomorrow morning. Stop by and say hello. And take a stab at answering the MBE Question of the Day.
