There are several ways you can do the things listed above.
The first path: Unfortunately, I do not have a book that covering, in detail, each of the common bar exam test sections. However, my Bar Exam Basics book — see Step 1 for links — briefly covers essay writing, MBE, and performance test.
My How to Write Bar Exam Essays book does, however, cover essay writing in depth.
