Podcast Episode 29: Taking the Bar Exam as a Foreign-Trained Attorney

Welcome back to the Bar Exam Toolbox Podcast. Today, we’re talking about how the bar exam poses unique challenges to foreign-trained attorneys.

In this episode we discuss:

• When and how you should start learning substantive law
• Why it’s important to only take the bar exam when you are ready
• Why traditional bar exam preparation courses may not be enough for foreign-trained attorneys
• What resources you can use to supplement traditional bar exam preparation and simplify your approach
• The extra challenge of reading and writing in a foreign language, and how to handle it
• Why you must learn to write in the style the bar graders expect
• How to approach multiple-choice questions (hint: with TONS of strategic practice!)
• Why you can’t ignore the performance tests, and how best to approach them
