Like life or health insurance, it is often advisable to purchase “bar insurance” depending on your test-taking needs. Here, it is key to assess your individual strengths and weaknesses given the need to perform at a statewide bar-passing standard for the MBE and writing section of the exam.

If you elect to take a bar review course, there are a host of strategies you can adopt: these include the usual “one-size-fits-all” or specialized MBE or writing programs.

Here, at Cal Bar, we adapt the program to fit either strategy. Applicants may take this as their exclusive program – or – adapt its MBE or writing methodologies to fit their more generic approach. Cost is therefore specific to each applicant’s test-taking needs – and additionally available to each applicant is a “pay-it-forward” discount.

Most importantly, the personalized one-to-one component of the Cal Bar program is available to all students regardless of their overall preparation strategy. In this way, the test-taking methodologies you learn serve as “insurance” in enabling you to prioritize and integrate them into your overall preparation strategy.

Unpretentiously, our nearly 40 years of experience counts in helping to guide you to success as you navigate the host of known and often unforeseeable challenges that are inevitable in preparing and working to pass the bar exam.

Whatever your testing needs, we would be delighted to help you identify and address them in working with you to put the test behind you.

Whether in-person or remotely, we look forward to helping you succeed.

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.
