Testimonials 

Barpassers played such a HUGE role in helping me pass the bar exam! As a repeater, I felt discouraged. With Bob Hull?s encouragement and engaging classes, I was able to learn concepts rather than mechanical rules, which helped me apply the law to the facts more effectively. He is a humble, no-nonsense kind of professor who gives you the tools you need to pass the exam. He really goes the extra mile for students and encourages you to submit additional essays and exams early on. Also, his writing technique maximizes points in a way that I have never seen before in other bar courses! The program is great because you have flowcharts that make outlines more manageable, and you also have a large outline book for reference. This was the most efficient method to teach us to write more effectively. The most unique thing about Barpassers was their flowcharts and learning methods for rules unlike any other bar preparation course. The course is structured so that you have MBE preparation and Performance Exam Preparation that is more thorough than ANY other bar prep class out there right now! For the performance exam, Barpassers breaks it down so that you learn to manage your time and earn maximum points. Barpassers is priced quite low considering the value you are getting- access to an excellent professor who has devoted his time solely to teaching students, MBE software plus detailed MBE practice books, and thoroughly graded essays and performance exams. The feedback will help you see where you went wrong so that you can PASS the exam! The bottom line is that Barpassers is there to help you pass with tools and resources unlike any other bar preparation course!

I am writing to inform you that after 12 years of taking the CA Bar Exam (16 actual administrations) and 2 times taking your course in 2010, I finally passed the Bar on the Feb 2011 administration.  I can not thank you enough for all of your help and I am recommending you to all of my friends taking the exam. 

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Just wanted to pass on a thanks to BarPassers - I just received my CA Bar results and found out I passed, first time taking it. BarPassers has always been more than just a bar prep course for me - you prepared me for the FYLSE ("Baby Bar") which I also passed first time, and provided invaluable assistance during my entire legal education. As a part-time student and working full-time, the CA bar (and indeed, law school) is a challenge. I have no doubt my success on this exam is as a result of the clear and concise instruction I received on the BarPassers home study program. If any 1L asks me whats the secret, I tell them hard work and "BarPassers"!

As a foreign lawyer, I immensely credit Bar Passers for my successful first attempt to clear California Bar Exam. The lectures and study materials were excellent and prepare you for even the most intricate law questions. The schedule given by Bar Passers is the key to success and can save you a ton of sweat while managing such an elaborate amount of syllabus. I took an early start program and had never studied American Law before, but this course gave me confidence  not only to appear for exam, but also to attempt every question with an immaculate precision and clarity. I highly recommend Bar Passers to people who want to nail down this exam with full confidence.

If you are a repeat taker, look no further than BarPassers Tutorial Program!  I tried other companies before but it wasn't until I experienced the unique structure of the tutorial program with its endless but very specific grader feedback that I could truly understand how to improve my writing scores.  The tutorial program is particularly great for repeat takers who know the law and really want to focus on improving their writing scores.  Instead of watching lecture videos (which I did at home), my in-class experience consisted of a small group of students taught by the AMAZING Bob Hull who gave us practical approaches for every single subject with great tips and perfect essay predictions!!!  The best part was knowing every time I left class I had just gone through several essays within a particular area of law and I wrote so many as homework that by the time the bar came, I knew there wasn't anything I couldn't handle.  Thank you BarPassers for creating a program perfectly tailored to students who need a more personalized and focused bar review course.

I wanted to let you know that I passed the February 2010 attorneys bar exam and I passed the August MPRE. I am waiting on my character and fitness determination and I will be done. Your home study course was amazing. It allowed me to pause, replay points, take additional breaks, and study at my own pace. I graduated law school in 1988 and I needed the extra time to re-learn 3 years of law school. Since I went to law school in Michigan, I had not been exposed to some of the uniquely california subjects, like community property. Many thanks.

Just to let you know I loved your program and believe in it 100%.  With Barpassers I passed the Feb 2010 bar and the August 2010 MPRE.  Thank you!

I want to inform you than my name appeared on the PASS LIST to the February 2010 California Bar Attorney's Examination. I believe I passed only due to (1) the depth of instruction and strategy within the BarPasser Tutorial Program, (2) the guidance and tutelage of Bob Hull and comments from his exam grader , and (3) your wisdom to suggest that I take the Attorney's Exam rather than the General Bar Exam. Thank you very much.

I would like to thank BarPassers for helping me pass the CA Bar. Their staff and instructors were completely approachable and were there to assist me whether I needed a simple question answered or whether it was day 2 of the exam and I needed talking out of a panic attack! (Seriously.) The BarPassers program was just as rigorous as BarBri, but with the added benefit of having the individual attention that I needed. Thanks again, BarPassers!

I passed the CA Bar Exam the first time because Barpassers is amazing. If you do their program, and do it diligently, you have all of the tools necessary to pass the bar exam the first time. I did the Early Bird Comprehensive Program, which allowed me to start studying in late January. I have no regrets in my choice whatsoever. I did every assignment, every MBE, went to every class, and the hard work payed off. The quality of the materials, lectures, and professors is a cut above the rest. The California Bar is should be a once in a lifetime experience, and if you choose Barpassers it will be.

Barpassers is AWESOME! Barpassers will teach you how to pass the bar the first time through practice practice practice. You CAN graduate from a CBA law school and handwrite the bar and PASS the first time if you follow Barpassers practice-based approach. The flowcharts are invaluable, and the small class size allows each applicant to get personal attention and have their questions and concerns addressed. Barpassers gave me all I needed to pass! I passed the first time, and I have Barpassers to thank for it.

Just a quick note to let you know that I DID indeed pass the February exam (my first attempt)! I do recognize and appreciate that I owe a great deal of that to your program, the structure, and the feedback that was given. You kept me on course throughout, and I always felt I was in capable hands.

Thanks again for everything.

BarPassers Early Start program gave me what I needed to pass the dreaded California Bar Exam on the first try. There's no easy way to learn all that you need to know, it takes a lot of effort. Listening to all the substantive lectures on the iPod and doing the extra MBE questions allowed me to fill out the Chartbook the way I wanted, at my own pace. And, I could replay those portions that I needed to hear more than once. When I went to the more formal video classes, I was ready to absorb the lectures and follow along by reading my already-written notes. The double exposure worked for me. Perhaps I over killed the effort, but I wanted to take the exam only once. It worked!

I thought that Bar Passers was a very thorough course that facilitated learning the nuances necessary for the CA Bar Exam through both live and video instruction. Allowing the students to ask questions to a live instruction allowed for clarification not available in other courses. I would recommend Bar Passers as the premier course in preparing for the CA Bar Exam. As long you do everything requested, and more especially in terms of multiple choice (at least 50 a day), you too will pass!

I just wanted to let you know that I passed the bar exam! I was SO SICK - literally in the ER two days before the test with the worst flu I have ever had. Nevertheless, I stuck it out - with a lot of ibuprofen - and finished the test. I have only great things to say about the BarPassers course. Before I got sick I felt well prepared. That way, even despite the illness and losing 2 crucial days of review before the test, I was still able to recall crucial information and "see" the flowcharts I had become so familiar with. The pace of the course was perfect and I loved having lectures available on Ipod so I could access them at any time.Thank you so much for everything! I recommend this course to everyone who is serious about passing the bar exam!

I just wanted to share with you the good news that I passed the bar using the Bar Passers system. I faced enormous challenges...my son was born halfway through my studies, I worked full-time, and I was plagued by the pressure of taking it for the second time. However, the progam was excellent. I am glad I spoke with [BarPassers] by telephone and decided to do Barpassers.
Best,

I finally passed!!! I couldn't have done it without BarPassers, especially to Bob Hull. I believe that the reason why I passed was due to the BarPasser Program. Specifically, instead of having a parade of different instructors come in to teach each individual subject (and only reviewing the substantive law), at BarPassers you have only have one instructor with you throughout the bar review process who not only does the substantive law review, but also teaches you the techniques to master the MBEs and the essays, going over examples in class. With only one instructor throughout the bar review process in a small class environment, he helped me identify my weaknesses which was really helpful for the essays. Moreover, during the final push towards the exam when there were no classes, Bob was accessible to students to answer questions. Another advantage of the program is that we had two weeks to do our final reviews for the bar exam so I could go over each subject a minimum of two or three times over reducing my test anxiety compared to others who only had one week to review once their bar review classes ended.

I just wanted to write you a quick note to thank you for your excellent bar review course. I just passed the Bar Exam on the second try after signing up for your course for this exam. I used the iPod as part of the early start program and I think the IPod saved me. It was a great tool. Thank you very much and I will recommend your review course to everyone I know that's taking the Bar!

I passed the CA bar at last! Without taking the BarPassers Bar Review course, I know I wouldn't have made it. My only regret is that I didn?t find out about the program sooner. Had I known about the BarPassers program sooner, I would?ve saved time and money in passing the CA bar exam. Once again, I thank you and the BarPassers for helping me pass the CA bar exam!

Thanks you Bar Passers for helping me pass the first time! Starting with the IPod early start program I began to build momentum, stamina and confidence for the bar. Moreover, it really got my mind in the right state for starting the full bar prep course. Moving on to the actual course I appreciated the well thought out schedule which kept me to task the whole time with reasonable levels of homework. I appreciated the fact that your course was comprehensive and I did not need to take anything else such as a multi-state side course. Personally I took the time to create my own flash cards from your materials which was my own personalization of how I study which augmented the flow charts. The people in my BarPassers class who did all of the homework and kept focused the whole time passed. The only people from my class who passed took Bar Passers. I would recommend you to anyone preparing for the bar and advise they start with the early start program.

Dear BarPassers,
I passed! Thanks for the help all of you gave. Before law school I went to medical school and passed two anesthesia certifying exams. The California bar exam was still the hardest thing I ever did. I've recommended you to everyone I know. I could not have done it without you!

Bar Passers Tutorial, advertises that if you need to PASS the Bar the FIRST time, then you should utilize their services. In my experience they could not have been more right! I passed the Bar the first time and I did so with the help of Bob Hull, a professor that works for the group. The tutorial is a little more expensive then most other Bar review courses but if you enroll, do exactly as suggested (to the best of your ability) and try and write your answers to mimic the model answers you can pass as well. It worked for me and I had a tough time in law school. Thanks to the tutorial I never have to go through the grueling experience of the Bar exam again!

I had failed the bar twice when my former boss took me aside and insisted I take the bar again and use the course he had used thirty years earlier, which like barpassers, used flowcharts. I was glad I was smart enough to realize what would work for me. As a visual learner, I was able to visualize the charts while writing exams, and I believe this was one reason I passed. I think the lectures from Leifert and Hull are excellent and the essay workbook really insightful and helpful.Thanks!

THANK YOU, BARPASSERS! It was a thrill to see my name on the "PASS" list on 11/16 for the July CBX. I attribute much of it to your excellent program. I followed your early start program, while working full time. I did what you told me to do -- and it worked. Thanks for the comprehensive, thoughtful, insightful program. Thank you for helping me set realistic goals, and for determining priorities. I would highly recommend your program to anyone wanting to work hard to pass the CA Bar Exam the 1st time around. You folks know what you are doing and the entire law school world should know it! Best wishes to all at BARPASSERS.

Just wanted to drop you a quick note - I enrolled in BarPassers "baby bar review" program and took the June 07 FYLSE exam. Just got my results and found out I passed! First time! A big relief! I believe the barpassers review program was a significant factor in having passed and I look forward to continuing to use your materials through my law school studies.

I just wanted to let you know how great I thought BarPassers was. I know several people from my class who didn't pass the bar the first time using one of the other bar tutorials and now they are taking BarPassers. I would recommend the home study program to anyone. I didn't feel like I was missing out on anything by not being able to attend the live classes. The BarPassers staff was always available to answer my questions by phone or online. My biggest piece of advice for anyone taking the bar using BarPassers is to just follow the schedule exactly. You definately don't need outside material to pass and it IS possible to pass the first time (even if you have a 6 month old baby like I did).

I passed the Feb. 07 exam. BarPassers was a great course -- I'm so glad that your company offered the skills workshop option substantive upgrade home study program. It was a perfect way to study for the bar -- you get the black letter law and helpful exam essay approaches without the distraction from other students and without commuting to classes. Thank you for advising me at the July 06 review session to focus on improving my MBE score (I did about 2300 practice MBEs, most of which were from BarPassers).

On behalf of My wife Sarah and myself, we would very much like to thank you in helping us through passing the daunted exam. I passed on my second try, and Sarah on her first. Without your assistance in the lectures, I am certain that we would not have passed. Lectures were great, simple, and an easy to remember, with assistance provided by professors around the clock by email.
Most sincerely,

BarPassers Tutorial Program was instrumental in my passing the bar on the first attempt. BarPassers made available the substantive lectures and workshops on pre-loaded I-Pods months prior to [in-class] meetings so that I was able to get all of the black-letter law out of the way early. This allowed me to focus my energy later on improving my MBE scores, Essay scores and Performance scores. In addition to all of this, the Tutorial Program allowed me access to my own tutor months prior to the bar exam. My tutor, Bob Hull, spent as much time with me as I asked of him to create a bar prep program individually tailored to my situation. I could not have asked for more! The main thing I tell my friends is that if you want to pass the first time, do it right the first time by taking the BarPassers Tutorial Program.

I enrolled in Barpassers after being a repeat taker of the california bar exam. I took the home study program and was immediately impressed with the "easy approach" I learned in program. I would highly recommend the program to any person who is about to take the most difficult bar exam in the country. Thank you Barpassers.

Hi, just wanted to thank Mr. Hull and Barpassers for getting an average law student to pass the California bar exam on the first attempt. Without your lectures and flowchart system, I would have missed just enough issues to have to repeat the exam, something we all do not want to have happen. Thanks a million!

Dear Barpassers,
I was a student in your winter program from the February 2005 exam. As a first time taker, I was very hesitant in selecting the right bar program, but after completion of your program, I realized that I was very well prepared. I passed the Bar exam and I just wanted to let you know that your program helped me tremendously and I have recommended it to everyone I know.
Thanks Again!

Dear BarPassers,
I wanted to take a moment to offer you my sincerest thanks for your personal assistance throughout a very difficult ordeal. When an emergency situation came up, you immediately and graciously responded to my request for special accomodations. Your personal attention to this issue made a huge difference in my life. I also want to say after having looked at many different bar review programs for California, clearly yours is the most concise and direct. Yours is a no-nonsense approach designed with the sole intent of passing the bar. I am confident that if people adhere to your schedule and your advice, they will be able to pass the California Bar. There is no system better than yours!
Many thanks,
