Our Stats

Targeted at the Test

Too many bar prep courses teach a blizzard of rules that are almost never tested. You can’t possibly memorize all of them—and you don’t need to.

We created our curriculum by analyzing the exam and figuring out what you really need to know. After we identified the most tested and testable principles, we asked our amazing professors to break it down, always focusing on how the rules are actually applied on the MBE.

It’s less than everything and more than enough, so you can make the most of your study time.

Bar Prep for the Digital Age

Traditional bar prep courses are full of talking heads. They take a series of classroom lectures, plop them on a webpage, and hope for the best.

We took a different approach. Our audio lessons are short and easily absorbed, so you can brush up on contract law while you walk the dog.
