California Performance Test Workbook: Preparation for the Bar Exam (Bar Review)

This is a great book though now Ca PT’s are only 90 minutes long but it still serves the purpose showing showing how to set up, what to look for etc..

Very well written book with easy to follow explanations

After using this book to practice, I am very confident in the performance part of the exam.

As a person who worked in a niche field without memos or court documents through 2L and 3L, I went into bar exam season very rusty on the types of traditional legal work products the California PT seeks to simulate. This book helped me knock the rust off and come up with a plan for less familiar types of problems, and was a lot more time efficient for me than going through whatever Barbri had to offer for the PT. Ultimately, I feel that my PT performance after working with this book was key to passing the bar.

Basick and Schindler are active in helping people pass the bar exam, and they have another book specific to the California Bar Essays, this one is focused on the Performance Test.I recommend both books.

Could not recommend this workbook enough!!! As a first-time taker, I was very intimidated by the PT portion of the bar since it's nothing like any law school class or exam and I heard all of the dreaded stories of people failing the bar only because they failed the PT portion. This workbook provides a play-by-play breakdown of the best way(s) to utilize the material within the allotted time to maximize points. There is no way I would have passed the Feb. 2020 bar if I had not used this workbook on a daily basis leading up to the bar!

The authors have a long history of experience in bar preparation and the legal field which can be easily verified.

I used this book to develop a basic structure for my PT's. I reviewed the PT's in there and looked at how they were outlined and used her strategies to develop my own. Once I did, when I submitted PT's to Kaplan I didn't get anything below a 65.
