ENHANCED MBE & PT FOCUS
What You Get
Just like with our 2-month program, you’ll work directly with Steven every step of the way, but the 3-month program includes seven additional hours of lecture with the Enhanced MBE program to help you learn how the NCBE uses exam tricks and how to address them. Why is B the correct answer? Why is B better than C? What are the tips and tricks for each question? In addition, you’ll be assigned MBE questions every day for months to use your “down time” to help ramp up to take the MBE and shore up black letter law deficiencies. You’ll use context to help identify all the possible ways that specific areas are tested to improve your MBE score. In addition, you’ll begin a long-term black letter reading program on the two biggest substantive law areas of the MBE to lay a stronger foundation for your exam score. Further, the 3-month program includes the Enhanced PT Program, which includes six additional PTs to help you maximize your score on the Performance Test.
Day-to-Day Calendar
A day-to-day calendar with Essay, MBE, and Performance Test assignments, customized to your unique schedule, taking into account your actual life, whatever that may entail.
Steven's 5 Books
Although WINNIN’ TIME! and The Trigger List are sold separately, all five of Steven’s books (including MBE Primers and Flowcharts and the Calweasel Essay Books (2 volumes)) are included in the Calweasel tutoring programs.
Introductory Lectures
Steven's introductory lectures include a focus on Essay Writing and PT Exam Writing, a comprehensive launch to your California Bar Exam tutoring program.
Grading
Grading of 15 essays, 10 PTs, and a simulated exam (3 essays and a PT), with a guarantee of minimum 200-300 words of feedback per exam, and frequently up to 1500-2000 words per exam; oral review of unlimited essays during weekly meetings.
Calweasel’s grading system includes examples of how Steven outlines each question and examples of how Steven would write the all-important application for each question that is graded.
Weekly Meetings
Weekly one-on-one meetings, one hour per session, focusing on your specific needs, including assigned essays for you to outline instead of turning in, adhering to the day-to-day calendar created at the outset of your tutoring program.
This customized approach to learning is unique in the California Bar Exam Tutoring marketplace, since Steven invented the program specifically for the students, not a cookie-cutter package that works for everyone.
PT Follow-Up Lecture
A PT follow-up lecture on how to read the Library most efficiently during the inventory of the Library stage. This will cut down your reading time by 1/3 and is the only such lecture in the Bar Review industry.
Plus, more follow-up lectures walking you through my notes on the first 90 minutes of the PT assignments to help you learn how to inventory the Library and File correctly, but also learning how to directly “put it all together,” the lectures for which are unheard of in the Bar Review industry.
60-Minute PT Exercise
Learning how to do a 60-minute “strip down a PT” exercise to help students improve issue-spotting in PTs will be easy with Steven’s Calweasel program, the only such exercise in the California Bar Review industry.
By focusing on all phases of the test, not just MBE, Essay, or PT, the Calweasel Bar Tutoring program prepares you for everything the bar exam could possibly throw your way.
Essay Review Week
Thank the Maker for Essay Review Week, an unofficial Calweasel California Bar Exam Tutoring program holiday! Leaving no stone unturned, Steven will set you up to crush the essay section of the exam.
Through the Essay Review Lecture and the week of planned review of 98 hand-picked essays, the essays will be fresh, nothing will be stale, and you’ll master the strategy behind the essays, firing on all cylinders on test day.
11-day Memorization Program
When developing the Calweasel Bar Exam Tutoring program, Steven considered far more than issue spotting and presentation on essays and taking MBE questions. He also thought about how to finish off exam prep in the best way possible.
This program will teach you memorization techniques and coping strategies that will prepare you for the California Bar Exam like no other program available through lecture and memory practice. Steven focuses on memorization techniques as well as the psychology and philosophy behind the memorization. Steven helps the student to consider the two people who matter most to her during the memorization. Steven provides invaluable and unique guidance about how to complete the exam prep process when students need help the most.
Recent Testimonials
I cannot endorse Steven Harris enough! He helped me pass the California Bar Exam on my first attempt. His style of teaching was very effective for my learning style and I appreciated his outlines. I have gone through many outlines and rule books but I have to say that Steven’s study materials were very well organized and made the most sense. The material was also organized in a way to help me easily memorize the rules prior to the exam. I remember opening up the first page of the essay portion of the exam and internally screaming “Yes! I got this!” There were moments during the tutoring process where I felt unsure and not confident that I had the ability to pass, but Steven reassured me and helped guide me on my weak points. Overall I’d say that the one-on-one guidance and attention during bar prep is unmatched and is extremely beneficial to passing the California Bar Exam on the first try!
Hi Professor. Not sure if you remember me, but I took your Critical Studies I class at UC Hastings in Fall 2021. I didn’t mention it at the time, but I was actually set to take the February 2022 exam, not the July exam like most folks in the class. Well, I just wanted to say THANK YOU because I got the results a few weeks ago and I passed. I know I don’t get the score breakdown, so it’s entirely possible that my MBE score had carried me, but I can’t help but think that taking your writing class allowed me to succeed. It definitely helped me jump into studying right away because I didn’t have to spend time learning what bar graders look for, or how to approach the PT. The Evidence Boilerplate came in handy on February’s test for sure, and I basically did all my PR rule memorization from your book. The boilerplate definitely helped for efficiency, but I also remembered the advice about time management–I was strict with my timing even on that essay, especially since the PT was in the same session. I’m so glad I decided to take your class!
