As law school students return to school after the holiday break, studying for the bar exam may be what third year or graduating students are looking into. Studying for the bar exam is like driving. When a person first takes off from the race track, the person may not be at high speed.
Some bar exam courses may help a law school student in studies even during law school. With the right study materials for law school and the bar exam, a student can move off of 3rd gear, and accelerate in 4th gear, with tools that stress practice and feedback. Soon a student will be scoring so high that others may have to catch up.
The bar exam resources that take someone to passing usually put a student in 5th gear with comprehensive study materials that are organized by subjects and issues, with few legal mistakes. Imagine memorizing the wrong law when a bar exam tutor trying to make the quick buck copies other people’s mistakes without knowing the difference between “appropriation” and “misappropriation.”
The following list of bar prep resources have been popular in helping law students drive ahead, that people have to look at them from behind. These resources are provided for convenience and do not constitute any endorsement:
