■ Multistate Essay Exam Released Questions

The Multistate Essay Examination ("MEE") is administered in South Dakota. AmeriBar's MEE essay books contain the best resource for essay exam preparation - actual past MEE essay questions (over one hundred). Students are also provided with a model analysis for each question. One of the most effective ways to prepare for the MEE is to practice answering past essay questions. By reviewing past questions, students learn which issues are often tested, and how common issues should be resolved.

■ South Dakota Practice Essay Questions

In addition to the MEE, the South Dakota Bar Exam also generally administers one question testing Indian Law. The question is drafted by the South Dakota Examiners. AmeriBar's South Dakota Indian Law Supplement contains a limited number of practice essay questions testing Indian Law. Each question also contains a sample answer.

ABOUT AMERIBAR

AmeriBar constantly monitors past bar exams questions and testing trends. Our materials are focused on testable points of law. Therefore, you will not waste hours of your study time learning extraneous information. Utilize your time efficiently.

MAKE THIS TIME DIFFERENT

Are you are a retaker who enrolled in a traditional bar review course the last time you sat for the exam, but were unsuccessful? It is likely that you spent too much time reviewing your knowledge of the law, and not enough time learning how to write essay answers or adequately prepare for the MBE. It is likely that you studied inefficiently. Instead of spending dozens or even hundreds of hours listening to mind-numbing lectures of the law, learn how to spend your time efficiently learning the law you need to know in order to pass. In fact, one of our recent students who had previously taken a traditional review course (and failed his exam) let us know that the best part of AmeriBar's program was that he actually studied less and passed! Focus on the law you need to know, and spend the rest of your time learning how to apply your knowledge to the questions presented by the bar examiners.

---------

"The lectures were concise and focused on the important points, which allowed me to learn the new areas of law with the least effort, and efficiently refresh my memory on the other areas."

---------

"[The course is] more condensed and focused on the basics of the black letter law, and on helping students develop a test writing strategy."

---------

"I really liked it when the instructor did more than teach the subject as it would be taught in law school. I liked when they gave tips about the way questions on previous tests were handled and advice for choosing the right answer if the question was confusing."

---------

"I was glad to find this review to help me prepare for the exam and refresh my memory . . . at a price that did not break the bank."
