Hello Prospective May 2023 Graduates,

We are excited to share tips 16-18 below! 

In case you missed tips #1-15, they can be found on the Bar Prep Portal along with other important bar preparation information and resources.

DID YOU KNOW…

1.  BAR EXAM NEWS!  Florida made changes to the bar exam effective immediately!

  1. On March 31, 2023, the Florida Board of Bar Examiners published revised Test Specifications for Part A of the General Bar Examination. The revised Test Specifications are effective beginning with the July 2023 exam. In addition, starting in July 2023, the board primarily will use multiple-choice questions to test Trusts and UCC Articles 3 and 9 when those subjects are on Part A of the General Bar Examination. The March 2023 Study Guide contains sample multiple-choice items in those subjects.
  2. TIP #16: Review the Florida Bar Exam Part A Test Specification HERE and purchase an updated commercial bar review course. Ongoing changes to the bar exam are another reason we STRONGLY ENCOURAGE you to purchase an updated bar review course. Along with review lectures, subject matter outlines, and practice material, your bar review course provider is responsible for providing updates through exam day. These updates include changes to the exam’s structure and changes in the law that occur before and during the 10-week bar study period. Make sure you select a reputable company and ask questions before selecting. 

2.  Stetson will be hosting the July 2023 Bar Exam Kickoff Workshop on April 15, 2023.
