The California First-Year Law Student's Exam (FYLSX) will consist solely of multiple-choice questions beginning with the June 2024 administration of the exam by the Committee of Bar Examiners of the State Bar of California. The exam will consist of 100 multiple-choice questions and will no longer contain any essay questions.

Success on the FYLSX requires long hours of preparation. Without a doubt, diligent time management and unbreakable resolve to pass the examination are required to make it happen. Staying positive and studying cleverly over an extended period of time is the key.

It is certainly good to take a comprehensive Baby Bar Review course as part of your preparation for the FYLSX. However, whether you take a Baby Bar Review course or not, the school strongly recommends that you ACTIVELY do all of the following to prepare well for the examination:

One: Learn the tested nuances in substantive ‘Black Letter Law’ by reading and answering hundreds and hundreds of practice multiple-choice questions.

Practice questions in multiple-choice format are available in books and on the AdpatiBar online simulator.(Click here: AdaptiBar)

Detailed explanations are provided for the answers to each question on the AdaptiBar simulator. The answer explanations will provide you with law that you need to know and give you an awareness of areas in the law that are difficult for you so that you can focus on them. You will learn by knowing which questions you missed and why you missed them so that you can avoid making the same mistakes again when you take the real exam.

Answering hundreds and hundreds of the practice multiple-choice questions is the way to go. Don’t stop when you get to a point at which you are getting more than 70, 80 or 90 percent of your answers correct. What is important is that you move on to dissect each multiple-choice practice question and answer and, in the process, master the correct concepts that are the subject of each. Your goal should be focused entirely on learning nuances in the law by reading, thinking about and then answering the questions.

Two: Study harder and longer than you ever have for anything else.

Study compulsively with constant focus on the prize. Avoid distractions and stay determined over the entire period of time by studying many long hours, day in and day out. Remember that success on the Baby Bar comes only with intense preparation. The time you spend preparing for the Baby Bar exam should be one of the most unforgettable periods of your life; a time when you worked harder than ever to achieve a worthwhile goal. Your aim must be to prepare to the point that when you answer questions on the day of the real exam you realize that it is just like another day of practice.
