As such, we do not believe anyone can provide practice questions that resemble the questions on the actual Bar Exams (and we do not make any such representation). Our philosophy on the practice questions is that they are solely intended to help you in becoming familiar with your study resources, the licensing material, and provide you with an opportunity to come up with a strategy for answering questions on the day of the exam (that works for you!). Our goal is simply to give you exposure to different topics in the licensing material and provide you with an opportunity to practice using your study resources.
