Having read several "bar related" books, I really liked this as an easy read and I also liked the focus on what is probably one of my biggest challenges - the mental stress involved with taking the exam. I liked the author's straight forward ways to deal with stress and also practical tools to use when reviewing the essays, multiple choice and performance tests that you practice. I think the checklists she provides at the end of the book are extremely helpful - esp for the CA Bar - in reviewing your own essays. I know for myself, I have a hard time reviewing my own work in comparison to the sample answers and knowing exactly what I did wrong. The detailed questions in her checklists will help you to really see why you received the grade you did in comparison to the model answers and open your eyes on how to improve. Although most times I would get the general issues, I see that I did not elaborate with the sub-issues and became conclusory in my answers. I highly recommend this book to those of you taking the bar the first time or the "x"th time as a repeater.
