With You Every Step of the Way
While it’s true that most bar preparation review courses cover the exam-tested subjects and rules in some shape or form, only few provide their student-applicants with any helpful or practical guidance as to how to apply the rules to the actual exam. As a result, many students are left with no sense of direction or structure as to how or where to start when faced with the task of completing an essay question or doing MBEs for practice. This lack of direction and structure is a contributing factor and reason why so many applicants fail the bar exam each year.
