This guide assumes you know how to IRAC. headings and trigger words are mandatory. Remember your essay is read in 2-3 mins

Thank you! That was thorough and informative.

BM, you may do alright here. I'm not taking CA bar, but this was a very well written and informative guide.

Good post. I agree with most of the suggestions.

However, I do not believe it is wise to skip the facts in the library. The facts are what will distinguish a 60/65 from a 70+. In the second PT of Feb 2016, analogizing to and distinguishing the case facts were essential to forming strong arguments.

Don't skip facts. Learn how to navigate through them to identify the relevant ones and how to use them to bolster and form your arguments.

Skip facts if you have trouble finishing on time. Really if you have no issue, then reading the facts won't hurt you obviously. But I (and ppl who use this method) rarely use anything more than the rules from the cases. It just never comes up. Also since I passed I won't know what I got on the PT. I wish I had some data to give comparison.

Hey guys - I have CA bar prep materials I am looking to unload if you don't want to pay for the full prep course. I was a second time taker and passed this time around. Shoot me a PM if you're interested in the books!
