Why Must Read The MBE Decoded: Multistate Bar Exam (Bar Review)?
I have both the CA Essay book and the new MBE Decoded and based on working off both books I totally disagree with the person who gave MBE Decoded a poor rating and I'll tell you why: MBE DECODED VS. CA ESSAY BOOK 1. The essay book is great in providing subject outlines and black letter law/rule statements with cheat sheet and memorization sheets but does not prepare you for the tons of nuances that the MBE tests on. The content is very, very different and presented very differently too. If you get answers wrong even though you UNDERSTAND AND KNOW the rule and feel frustrated about the gap in your logic and the logic of the MBE exam-writers then you need MBE Decoded!! WHY THIS BOOK IS BETTER THAN OTHER BOOKS PREPARING FOR THE MBE? 2. MBE Decoded is a unique and an invaluable asset if you are focused on improving your MBE score because (a) the subject matter is dealt with comprehensively with an MBE focus, delving into the type of details and examples you need for the MBE but not necessarily for the essays (other content-based books like Themis and BarBri cover the material from a general MBE and essay perspective); and (b) the book is like combining BarBri and Emanuel's Strategies in one. MBE Decoded is detailed (to the extent necessary for the MBE portion of the exam) for each MBE subject and presents the material in a very digestible format - simple rules and everything broken up into easy to review/memorize bits. 2. Strategies are presented cohesively, in simple language with a flow and focus on each section. Chapters are easy to absorb and not a heavy review. Not like Emanuel with some BOOM BOOM general strategies and practice questions. Plus there are a lot more of strategies and tips compared to Emanuel and 've just stopped using Emanuel. 3. It has very few practice questions so it is not duplicative of Adaptibar and Kaplan, BarBri and Emanuel's MBE practice questions. 4. Very user-friendly (color/font-coded) in how MBE tips are given, high-tested areas are highlighted and many decoy tips. 5. Lots of examples. Some of the examples I have seen on the released MBE questions. So if you remember specific instances on what rule/strategy to use when you could potentially avoid losing many points in daily practice and exam. 6. There are visual cheat sheets and then there is a subject-based cheat sheet ti help memorize rules and test yourself. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
