Welcome back to the Bar Exam Toolbox podcast! In this second part of a two-part episode, we are going through drafting an answer for the July 2018 California Performance Test. We recommend listening to last week's episode first, where we focused on reviewing the task memo, file, and library.

In this episode, we discuss:

The timing aspect of the performance test
A quick review of the IRAC, CRAC, and CREAC methods for legal analysis
Tips for drafting a structured outline
Highlighting the specific rules you'll use and which case the rule comes from
Writing your analysis in a way that argues a position
Drawing a strong conclusion which tells the reader why an issue should be resolved in a certain manner
