When you commit to the CBTR Process you help ensure that your test taking skills - including a confident, positive attitude - meet the bar preparation and performance standards necessary to pass the bar on your next attempt. We will work together to meet that challenge.

The following is a sample list of (recent) references who took the CAL BAR program to pass the bar. There is a mixture of FIRST-TIME, REPEAT, and DISTANCE LEARNING EXAMINEES. Each of these can provide different perspective regarding the “Do’s & Don’ts” of bar preparation. REPEAT applicants, for example, may help you to identify study habits to avoid – and FIRST-TIME applicants may help you to identify those skills that made the difference for them the first time in order to avoid repeating the bar.

More Success For Ali

Cal Bar is pleased to announce that Ali Hinsche continued her remarkable run of success in having just passed the Florida bar exam.

This was her 4th (count 'em: 1, 2, 3, 4) successful bar - on her 1st attempt-following California, New York and Illinois.

While Ali worked with Cal Bar for each state, she also owes her success to persistence, hard work, and in learning how to adapt and apply the Cal Bar test-taking systems to the requirements of each bar exam.
