Thank you so much. I think BarGraders Practice Essays taught me that I have to deliver the material in a particular format... and really brought that concept home. Equally as important was the timed aspect. An essay had to be finished within the hour... no delays, no holdovers... It is a terrific program.

But again, many thanks for your support and personal attention!

BarGraders is an excellent program that provides students with outstanding feedback on each and every essay that the student prepares. With your program, I was not surprised that I passed the California Bar Exam. I appreciated the fact that your graders were tough with their grading, yet provided concrete examples of how I could improve. You have my unqualified recommendation.

I would highly recommend taking BarGraders if you are a repeat test taker or simply want to make sure you pass the bar exam on the first try. I failed the bar exam by nine points and it was solely due to my poor performance on the essay portion of the bar. However, BarGraders gave me all the preparation I needed to pass the Bar! I was given detailed feedback within 48 hours and they rated my progress. Plus, it was nice to know it was actual bar graders who were giving me the feedback. As my essay scores went up, so did my confidence. When I started out my essays were in the 55 range, but when I took my final essays I was scoring in the 75's & 80's. Also, the essays were very similar to the questions I actually saw on the bar. I wish I knew about BarGraders before I failed the bar as I know I wouldn't have had to spend the time and money to take the bar again.

I passed! I just want to say thank you to your entire staff for your hard work and dedication to those of us who have struggled to pass the California bar exam. I began using BarGraders to simply grade and review essays for me. I still continued to struggle with what a passing answer looked like to the bar examiners. It took me enrolling in your full course, reviewing my bluebooks to find my weaknesses and then writing 40 practice essays before I began seeing results on my bar scores. It is this amount of practice, along with the support of the compassionate BarGraders staff to guide my writing. That made all the difference to me. I would strongly encourage everyone who struggles to write a passing essay, to work with BarGraders because this programs works!

I was a student in your course for this Feb exam. I passed the exam on my second try. I sincerely believe that your course helped tremendously in improving my writing. I think you guys are doing a great service by providing us (law students) with knowledge of what actual bar graders are looking for.

I am convinced that the secret to passing the bar is to practice writing a ton of essays. I would not have been motivated to do this without the help of bargraders.com. Getting immediate scores and helpful feedback on my essays fired me up to do more essays and improve my performance so I could get more favorable feedback from the graders. Sick as it is, it got to the point where I'd wake up every morning excited to find my daily "bargraders.com: essay graded" email in my inbox. It was the only thing I had to look forward to during those miserable months. I got to know certain individual graders, even though I've never actually spoken to them and have no idea what they look like. Their comments were extremely helpful and sometimes even made me laugh. Most importantly, I knew their comments were trustworthy because all the graders are actual former bar exam graders. In the end, I entered the bar knowing exactly what the graders were looking for. I just found out I passed last week. I'm on cloud nine, and I owe it all to BarGraders."

I credit BarGraders for having helped me pass this time around. The graded practice essays and feedback gave me the info I needed to write a passing essay. With lots of practice, I formed the technique and organization I needed to pass on the second try. Thank you!

I PASSED!!!!

Thank you so much for your input and advice through BarGraders. Even though I was a little freaked out and a little hesitant to study as hard as you recommended during our failed exam session, you totally scared me into it. Thank you.

Also, the feedback I got from the BarGraders graders was very helpful. It allowed me to see what I was missing. It also made it easier to start the essays, which I always dreaded during my other bar review course the first time around. Oh, and of course the 5-step approach totally made a difference in how I attacked each exam. This is a little embarrassing to admit, but I'm not sure I totally got IRAC until BarGraders. When I realized just how formulaic it was, I felt like a veil had been lifted on the essay section. I think I'm a better writer in general now, so I don't regret having to do the exam twice, I learned so much more this time.

So relieved, can't believe I can move on.

I just want to say thank you for helping me with my essays. I passed the bar in February and will take my oath next Tuesday.

I don't think I would have figured out a winning formula for a passing essay and I don't believe I would have passed if it was not for you and the rest of the graders... this is the closest thing one can get to the real bar exam.

Thanks again for everything, and keep up the good work. I owe it all to you guys.

I found out about BarGraders from a friend who told me her tutor was fantastic at providing feedback on essays. I sent her my 6 essays from the July 06 bar exam and she set up a two hour tutoring session with me. In those two hours I learned more about what's expected to achieve a winning score on the bar, than any commercial prep course I took. She methodically went through each essay, pointing out the flaws and red flags in my writing that were causing me to fail. She provided me with starting points for developing my thoughts and organizing my paragraphs. I'm so happy I went with BarGraders it definitely helped me get past the hardest bar exam in the country.

The first time that I took the bar, I scored around the bottom 15% for essays. The second time, BarGraders put me over the top. Your system was professional, fast, and I am very, very satisfied. When my general bar review course reviewed my essays, feedback took weeks, and even then it was far less informative than you were. Your system is excellent and I would recommend this course to anyone thinking about taking the California bar. I strongly feel that your course is the best possible way to study for the California bar essays. This is especially true when used in conjunction with a substance review book, such as the Conviser Review.

I took my attorney's oath last week.

Satisfied Student

I passed the Cal Bar on my third try and I send major props both to BarGraders and to my personal Bar Grader. The system worked really well for me. I wish I'd used it on my earlier tries. In personally reviewing my essays on the phone, in live time, discussing them line by line, gave me the kind of specific information, warmly and encouragingly delivered, that not only gave me the insight I needed, but also the confidence that I really could make the progress I needed to make.

Thanks again for being so smart and also so human. I'm recommending BarGraders, to everyone who asks me about Bar review.

I just wanted to send a quick note to thank you and all the staff at BarGraders for helping me prepare for the July exam. I can't tell you what a difference it made in increasing my confidence level and the way I approached the questions. The real proof will come in November, of course, but I can say without a doubt that the process of taking the practice exams and immediately seeing what a model answer would look like and receiving the grader feedback helped me (finally!) to understand how the questions are supposed to be answered and what I'd previously been doing wrong. It was almost enjoyable to tackle the questions this time - whew! Can't believe I just said that.

For those who struggle on the essay portion, check out bargraders.com. You will not find a better essay program. They grade you realistically and score you on each element of IRAC separately. You will learn the style to pass the CA bar exam.

I have to laugh at the people that whine about errors in the model answers. It is all about learning the system. Right now you are a bar taker not a bar grader.

I wanted to let my Bar Grader know how grateful I am as I watch my writing slowly get better. I made it through law school without ever learning how to write an essay.

Usually I have to be married to someone before I will let them treat me as badly as she has. My ego has more bruises than a blind boxing team. But for the first time, I understand what to do with the legal knowledge in my head.

The BarGraders essays and feedback helped me sharpen my IRAC skills for the Bar Exam. The insightful comments and model essays were extremely helpful in my preparation. My tutor, was extremely helpful in her comments and was readily available for specific questions along the way. Thanks!
