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).

GBGot me across the finish line Got me across the finish line. Got me prepared with the lectures I needed and pretty good practice questions. Essays for Virginia were good, and appreciated the use of old essays, although I still used a supplemental course specific for Va essays. Mbe questions were good although they were different than the ones I got on test day (not sure why this was). Overall a good experience.

TWTHANK YOU BARBRI! With the 40-week prep course, I was able to pass the exam on my first attempt. Coming from a non-legal background, SQE is my first legal exam. All the knowledge required was new to me. I like BARBRI's approach to answering the question and the learning materials. I submitted many substantive questions and I appreciate BARBRI answering all of them in detail. AGAIN, THANK YOU!

GBDisappointing Experience While I appreciate that the laws change, the books should be updated more regularly. I started the course Aug 2023, while my book was published in 2022 (No month published). There were 11 pages of supplementary notes with 25 days of updates and more than 50 amendments across different subjects. I am aware of at least one law change (9 months ago) that is not present in the supplementary information. While tests were helpful, some of the questions and answers were incorrect due to the above information. Questions and answers need to be updated in real-time. Response time to questions was good. The system did not always work. Sometimes, being locked out of course entirely and constant errors in loading tests. Lectures were sometimes very difficult to hear; the volume was too low. I will be looking elsewhere for SQE2 which is disappointing as BARBRI is supposed to be a 'Global leader in legal education'.

GBI passed! I solely used Barbri to prepare for the July 2023 bar exam. The best feature is the planner. I am not good at planning a study schedule, but Barbri prepared a daily schedule of lectures and routine practices. I loved the lecturers and the constant MBE drilling, as well as the solid essay model answers. If you just stick to Barbri’s daily schedule, you’ll pass.
