There are some very good text books out there which cover the essential exam topics. A highly recommended one is Burnham's "Introduction to the Law and Legal System of the United States". Another great reference is Richardson & Regan's "Civil Litigation for Paralegals (2 ed)". The problem is that these masterpieces were not written for CLA exam preparation in mind. It would be difficult to tell whether you are sufficiently ready even after hours and hours of studying.
To help you focus on the relevant exam contents, we develop the CLA ExamFOCUS Study Notes and the special CLA ExamREADINESS practice module to accompany your reading efforts.
As an effective learning aid implemented in the format of study notes, the ExamFOCUS CLA Study Notes package is designed to present information in an easy-to-understand, conversational format. Notes are well-written, technically accurate and completely representative of the key information covered by the exam.

HOW TO USE THIS PRODUCT |
|
The goal of the practice module is NOT to test your memorization skill. We are not providing you with "real questions" for memorization and cheating. We are giving you practice questions for assessing your knowledge on the different (and difficult) exam topics. One frequent question encountered when studying for a major exam like this one is whether you have read enough. It is an unfortunate fact that no single text on earth would be sufficient for guaranteed passing with a margin. The more you read, the more you are prepared. The thing is, with limited time and energy, you just can’t read everything. You need to be selective in choosing what to read and what to focus on. If you place the wrong focus, you risk failing the exam. We develop this review questions module by performing extensive research on a wide array of reference texts. The goal is to provide coverage that is as completed and comprehensive as possible. If you fail to answer a question, the module will point you to the right source so you may research into the topic accordingly. By going through this process you will know whether you have done enough reading or not, and where you should put further efforts on. |
Our ExamREADINESS CLA 260 practice review questions are designed to drill you through the CLA study material topic by topic. They are well-written, technically accurate and completely representative of the information covered by the officially suggested reading material where the real exam questions come from. If you can handle the ExamREADINESS questions, you will have no problem with the real exam.
