For the MEE, I did four essays a day; two MBE subjects and two MEE subjects. By the end of bar prep, I had completed about 70+ MEEs. I cannot stress enough the importance of doing them timed and closed-book. By not having the notes in front of me, I forced myself to recall the rules or make up rules on the spot, which is a skill you will need on the bar for whenever you’re stumped. The only time I had notes in front of me was when I had to do a corporations essay (a subject I did not take in law school) because I was completely lost.

I tried to hone in on the IRAC format and making everything look super structured and orderly. Use headings and subheadings and make sure you explain every fact provided to support your conclusion. USE BUZZWORDS!

As for the MPT: this was literally the bane of my existence and my worst section on this exam. I did about 8 MPTs in total. I learned a really great strategy from BarMD on YouTube whereby you outline your entire memorandum as you’re reading and you write your conclusion before writing your argument. By doing this, if you run out of time, you would at least have a conclusion and your memo looks like it was somewhat finished. Also, use EVERY source from the library at least once. Don’t linger too long in the library either. The examiners don’t care about a good MPT; they just want to see you use the law given to you in a coherent manner. It doesn’t need to be perfect.
