Three terrific reasons to enroll for "Mastering the MPT" the must-take Multistate Performance Test (MPT) course from LTS/Law Training |
We know that the Multistate Performance Test (MPT) is hard to read and hard to manage in 90 minutes. We put our 15 years of experience into MPT courses that make it easier for you, to give you confidence with this tricky component of the bar examination, in 27 jurisdictions. We teach skills for maximizing your points. Helping you pass. Giving the graders what they want. Making best use of the law and the facts. Reading the materials only once. How do we do it? With proven techniques. With unique interactive exercises. With lots of practice. With daily feed-back. Remember our guarantee: We will correct every paper in the MPT course and return it to you the day you hand it in. And you will even have fun while you learn how to raise your score on the MPT and the bar exam. Other courses give you a few MPT tips like "Read carefully." Then they just hand you the old Multistate Performance Test exams from the National Conference of Bar Examiners and a few answers, and tell you to go practice. Does that raise your scores? Our MPT course will give you carefully-designed exercises that can develop your MPT skills and give you confidence on the bar examination. Your materials are designed by Dr. Mary Campbell Gallagher, author of the highly-acclaimed book Scoring High on Bar Exam Essays, which the St. John's Law School Forum called "The best [money] you can spend on bar exam preparation." In our schools you will learn our trademarked LTS systems to outline the MPT task to raise your scores, for maximum points, on 27 bar exams. You will learn to write section headings that speak straight to the grader. You will learn to use the law. You will develop skills and gain confidence. At LTS we know our Schools are the best. So we make this money-back guarantee: Attend the first half of the first day of your LTS course for the bar examination, and if you are dissatisfied for any reason, return your materials to the Teaching Assistant and get a full refund by mail within 10 days. No arguments. No questions. Dr. Gallagher stays after the class to answer every student's questions. |
