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.

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.

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.

GBSQE prep Barbri provide short but engaging lectures on the materials covered in SQE 1. My learning coach was so helpful and I could book an appointment with her at any time she was available however many times you need. You get physical as well as online books which is great and you can search and highlight in the online books. They have lots of multiple choice questions and a few mocks that you can practice before the exams. The PSP guided you with how much time you need to study each week to stay on top and the progress reports tell you which subjects you need to work on. I did feel after sitting the exams the questions were a little easier than the actual exams and I think the fact patterns in Barbris sample questions could be more detailed and longer. The updates document was helpful but I did feel like updates came a little late and the document was unorganised. I would recommend students to study with Barbri based on my experience.

ESWell designed Well designed. Covers the whole thing and gives the right advice to pass the exam. I never did law before, other than an LLM in 2020. I am an engineer and following Barbri I passed SQE1. Having said that I dedicated at least triple the recommended time. But I knew nothing before.
