Jeff Adachi’s Bar Exam Survival Series
This is a completely unsolicited plug for Jeff Adachi’s excellent Bar Breaker and Bar Exam Survival Kit series of books. The two Bar Breaker volumes contain about 80 sample essays with answers and grading keys, and the Survival Kit booklet has condensed outlines of “bar exam law.” Supplement that with BarBri’s Conviser Mini Review, and you’re good to go. I’d recommend the Adachi/Conviser combo over BarBri anytime, in particular for attorney applicants, who only have to take the essay portion of the California Bar Exam and can’t reasonably spend 8 hours/day for six weeks preparing.
