LMBP Smart Guide to Conquering the MPT

A brutally honest, slightly chaotic, and fully practical breakdown of how to survive the MPT. Written by someone who 100% did not get it at first… and now can’t unsee the patterns.

What This Is

This guide came out of popular demand (and a frankly concerning number of MPTs I’ve forced myself to read). It’s the exact resource I wish I had back when I was spiraling through those 15-page packets of fake memos, statutes, and cases with no clue what the hell I was supposed to do.

The MPT used to send me into low-grade panic attacks. I could write essays, sure, but I’d freeze as soon as I saw “To: Applicant” at the top of some memo. So I broke it all down. I figured out what the graders actually care about and how to give it to them fast, with as little overthinking as possible.

Here’s what you’ll get inside:

• A step-by-step breakdown of how to start, organize, and finish any MPT

• Tricks to stop spiraling and format like a machine

• Timing tips, structure hacks, and mental resets for when your brain completely blanks

• The MPT BATTLE CARD — a one-pager you can glance at mid-break and immediately reset your gameplan.

Why I Made This Free

Because too many smart bar takers lose steam here. It’s not that they don’t know the law. It’s that no one teaches how to follow instructions under pressure. This is for the folks who’ve done the work, but still freeze when faced with 20 pages of dense text and a vague prompt.

Suggested tip? Somewhere between the cost of a sad gas station coffee and a slightly bougie iced latte. So like $3 to $7. But hey, pay whatever feels right — even $1 says “thanks for keeping me from blacking out mid-MPT.”

Hope it saves you from the kind of meltdown I had.

Still aggressively rooting for you!
