This exam was created to help you prepare for the "Baby Bar" by exposing you to a test taking environment, time constraints and exams similar to that of the California First-Year Law School Examination.

Even if you have already passed the Baby Bar this exam will help you to review your first-year subjects and better prepare you for the General Bar.

We have re-created the whole Bar experience just for you.

When you arrive you will be asked to check in, then you will be given your assigned seat.

Bring pens and pencils. If you are typing, then you are asked to bring a blank diskette, so that you can save your work on it and turn it in when you have completed the exam.

The exam is scheduled to start promptly at 8:00 am with four essays in the morning. There will be a break and then the afternoon will be spent doing 100 multiple choice questions.

Just like the California First Year law Student’s examination this exam includes both essays and multiple-choice questions and is administered in one day. Four hours are allotted for completing the four essay question portion of the examination and three hours for 100 multiple-choice questions.

The subjects covered in this examination are Contracts, Articles 1 and 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), Torts and Criminal Law. An answer based on legal theories and principles of general applicability is sufficient. Detailed knowledge of California law is not required.

Your score on the essays will be based on the number of issues and sub-issues that are identified, the adequacy of your analysis of these issues and on style and organization of your answer. The multiple-choice score will be the number of questions answered correctly.

The questions and model answers used for grading are from the State Bar Association of California and/or a commercial provider of essay bar exam questions.
