GBSuper disappointed Super disappointed. I work full time and wanted to start early so I prepaid for the entire course and only then did they tell me they would not mail the materials for almost two months. When i did receive the materials they are so riddled with errors, five sections have digital notes because the printed versions were not updated prior to printing. There are even typos in the chapter headings. The printing quality sucks you can hardly read the graphs and charts. And the answers for the essays that you use for self grading actually misquote the facts from the fact pattern. The time log is constantly inaccurate, requiring me to go back and once again mark as complete assignments I have already completed. I am unbelievably frustrated. I am so sorry I went with Barbri. It is way too expensive to have all of these errors and distractions.

GBGood Enough (Passed) But Could Improve There are only so many ways to present the material. Some people prefer flow charts, mnemonics, whatever. My principal complaint concerns the lecturers. Some of them have no business being part of a program I paid almost 3K. The good: civ pro, contracts, torts, community property, OK: corps, agency/partnership The awful: Con law, crim law/crim pro, wills, trusts, evidence. I did like the "micro" essays embedded in some of the lectures. You should expand on those. The MBE materials were fine. Everybody complained about the Feb. administration; it didn't matter if they used Adaptibar, Uworld, or other.

GBOne stop shop The format of the study materials was very helpful. I have no complaints at all and could not have passed without Barbri’s guidance. I did not use outside materials to study (such as Adaptibar); I only used Barbri and I passed the California bar on my first try. That being said, whether you utilize all Barbri has to offer is up to you and your dedication to passing on your first try.

GBEverything you need I’m about to take SQE 1 with Barbri and I feel as prepared as I can be for the exams. The content is vast and there are different ways to learn the material to suit everyone. A little slow on the legal updates and could be better organised and communicated more efficiently to students. My learning coach has been a great support. I would recommend Barbri to any student looking to take the SQE.

GBI think it was the best decision I made… I think it was the best decision I made with regard to SQE. It helped me to use my time wisely and get plenty of practice. The individual schedule of lessons they provide is essential when one is working and studing. It is great one can see own progress and plan the time. I passed from the first attempt. Very grateful to the team. (The section on the solicitors accounts requires improvement, not very clear. I had to use some additional materials to get better understanding).
