"I don‘t think I could have passed the bar exam on the first try without The Bar Code class. It was worth every penny. So thank you!"

"The Bar Code Essay and PT Workshop contributed greatly toward my preparation for the bar exam. I enrolled in [another prep course] at the advice of every attorney I‘d ever worked for, but it had limited benefit. While the large review course gave me generalized scores on my essays, they never gave me real feedback. I didn‘t know what I was doing wrong, or more importantly, what I could do to improve. At The Bar Code, I got personalized feedback on every essay and in some cases, every line! Listen to the comments you get on your essays. Absorb them and utilize them."

"The Bar Code method of exam preparation really fit me and the way I study. It was just what I needed. You were definitely a big part of my success on that exam. Thank you!!"

"Everything about the California Bar Exam is stressful. One of the hardest parts about preparing for it is the anxiety of not knowing what to expect. During those months of studying, the majority of students spend their lives in the dark - scared out of their minds about whether they are doing the right thing, studying the right way or studying enough. Living in that darkness is terrifying. I know, because I was there for a while.

I was lucky though, because I only spent a short time there. I signed up for The Bar Code Essay and Performance Test workshops. Through those, I was given a much needed "behind the scenes" look into what goes on in the mind of an essay grader. While [other programs] are great for teaching the black letter law, they don‘t necessarily teach precisely how to write essays. Learning the tricks of essay writing is CRUCIAL! It does you no good to know the law cold, but have no clue as to how to present that information. After I took The Bar Code workshops, I felt more at ease. I was no longer among those students who had no clue what was going on. I knew the secrets of taking the exam and I felt empowered by that knowledge. That feeling, in turn, gave me great confidence. That confidence helped me pass on my first try. You can‘t afford to be in the dark on something as important as the bar exam. These workshops were an investment, and a good one at that!!!"

"I took [another prep course], but found it lacking in a number of areas, the first being related to feedback on essays (for example one of mine accidentally got graded three times with three very different scores and the same "canned statements" as the reasons for the score). The Bar Code not only helped me with essays in my weak substantive areas of the law, but also assisted me with addressing my problems related to organization and timing. I got to see concrete and realistic improvement in my writing over the course of the summer and was able to walk into the exam with a calm sense of confidence. Thank you for the in-depth feedback on essays and PTs, as well as the support and encouragement I needed throughout a process that I‘m grateful I don‘t have to repeat."
