ITThorough and focused. Thorough and focused. Coverage and emphasis of the right areas of study for the Bar. Preferred this over broad dumping of info. Not a fan of the format of some of the written materials, but still good - better digital form would have helped a lot, and maybe a cross-reference structure between overlapping ideas

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'.

GBGreat experience overall Good lectures, the presenters are upbeat, funny, and clear. Good structure for instruction and review. The CMRs are awesome, though I wished there were more space to take notes on them. I think there could be greater emphasis on essays, especially providing roadmaps for how to write them -that would be more useful than self grading or barbri grading especially at the start. Overall I had a great experience. I kept up with the recommended hours, tracked my progress, and passed the bar.

GBI trusted BARBRI because attorney who I… I trusted BARBRI because attorneys who I really respected had taken BARBRI and passed. Their predictions were very accurate. BARBRI predicted I’d pass the first time and I did. My passing score was 1% above what they predicted. Their reliable teaching methods and encouragement made me confident I'd pass.

GBThank you Barbri! I’ve studied a 40-week course for SQE1 with Barbri. I passed both parts of the exam on the first attempt and I’m extremely grateful to Barbri. I really appreciated the personal study plan, unlimited access to great personal tutors, opportunities to ask questions and paper copies of the book. I will surely continue my education with them. Thank you, I’m forever grateful!
