Spaced repetition: reviews timed to the forgetting curve

The schedule is set by your own ratings, so your review time tends to go to the rules you are least sure of.

Forgetting curve with spaced reviews Without review, recall of a rule drops quickly and stays low. With reviews, each review restores recall, and each later drop is slower, so the gaps between reviews grow. Recall Time No review With reviews
A schematic, not measured data. Without review, recall of a rule you just studied drops quickly (dashed line). Each review (brass marks) brings it back, and the next drop is slower, so the following review can wait longer. Bengos runs this pattern for each rule statement separately. The goal is lasting recall of the rules in your library, with less of your time spent on rules you already know.

How it works

1

Pick your exam

Its rule-statement library is ready the day you sign up.

2

Learn at your pace

Learn mode shows each new rule as a Full Rule. Type it, or read it on a flashcard.

3

Review on your schedule

Rate each rule, typed or on a card. Low ratings bring it back sooner.

Bengos is a study supplement for building recall of the rules tested in the essay portion of the bar exam, and in the integrated question sets on the NextGen exam. It is not a bar prep course, and its libraries are not a complete rule set or a replacement for a full outline. It is the candidate's responsibility to procure a comprehensive exam preparation program and to set a study strategy and schedule.

Some jurisdictions have no library, because their written portion is specific to them or tests different law: today, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nevada, South Dakota, Virginia, and Puerto Rico. The FAQ gives the reason for each.

Learn the full rule. Recite the short one.

Each rule comes in two editions: a Full Rule to learn from, and a Short Rule closer to exam-day form.

Know if a rule has been tested and in which past exams

Studying past exams is part of the work, so each rule lists the released questions where it came up.

Flames show how often released UBE and California exams tested the issue.

Pills name the exam and question.

Each rule also carries a note on a common mistake.

The NextGen library shows no testing history: no questions from a past NextGen administration have been released.

Rough estimates, rounded up, for the full scope of the UBE library, starting three or more months out. Typing times are measured; card times are assumed. If you type, you can shorten your reviews by doing some of them on flashcards. The fuller picture, with other start dates and scopes: the FAQ. Aim at 50 WPM; the word-counts page shows how we got that number. Two months out is the practical minimum; starting earlier ends Learn sooner. We remind you to take breaks.
