IN Bar - Indiana Bar Exam question I keep getting wrong on IN Bar practice tests
There's a category of question on my (IN Bar) Indiana Bar Exam practice tests that I'm consistently missing and I can't figure out what I'm misunderstanding.
The questions are about IN Bar - Indiana Bar Exam. Here's the type of question that trips me up: they give me a scenario and ask what the right action is, and I usually narrow it down to 2 answers — then pick the wrong one.
I think my issue is I'm applying the general rule but not accounting for the exception. Can anyone point me to a good explanation of when the standard rule doesn't apply for IN Bar - Indiana Bar Exam?
I've looked at "IN Bar" study materials but they explain the concept at the surface level. I need the deeper "why" behind it.
Any specific resources, videos, or even just a plain English explanation would be genuinely helpful. Exam is in 3 weeks.
If you're looking for a starting point, the free in bar multistate bar is worth trying — the questions closely match what you'll see on test day.
Passed IN Bar 6 months ago. Happy to share what I remember.
On the "IN Bar exam" stuff specifically — I found the practice tests here were actually harder than the real exam on those questions. Which was great because going in I felt more prepared than I needed to be.
The time pressure is real though. I came in with maybe 8 minutes to spare and that was after skipping the ones I wasn't sure about and coming back.
Don't try to cram the night before. Seriously. Last-minute stress makes you second-guess things you actually know.

Quick update: just cleared 78% on my most recent IN Bar practice set using free in bar specific law. Sitting for the real thing in 3 weeks. Feeling cautiously optimistic.
So I've been grinding the IN Bar practice tests for about three weeks now and figured I'd drop a quick update. I pulled a 71% on my last full practice set, which honestly felt like a win after sitting in the low 60s forever. Those scenario questions you're describing are exactly the ones that kept dragging me down. I'm not gonna pretend I've fully cracked them, but the number is finally moving in the right direction.
I'm planning to sit the real Indiana Bar in late July, so I've got a little over a month left to keep pushing. My plan is one full timed set every couple days plus reviewing every single one I miss, even the ones I guessed right on. If you're still early in your prep, don't stress the score too much yet. It wasn't until I started tracking which question types I bombed that things actually clicked. Keep at it.
