Why I didn’t Follow Barbri’s Bar Prep Schedule and Neither Should You — Pass the Bar by Making Your Own Study Schedule
<p>Bar exam scores are the lowest they’ve been in <a href="http://www.usnews.com/education/best-graduate-schools/top-law-schools/articles/2015/10/20/assess-whether-bar-passage-rates-should-influence-a-law-school-decision" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">30 years</a>, which is bad news for the law school industry. The most popular reason seems to be blamed on a decline in student applicants leading to law schools accepting lower caliber students. I personally believe that there is a fundamental problem with law schools if their students can’t pass the bar exam after three grueling years of study, particularly if they’ve graduated from a decent law school.</p>
<p>I can’t speak for every school, but I personally know several extremely intelligent people who did not pass the July bar exam. I spent time studying with them over the summer and I know they put the hours in. They’ve worked in law firms and have great legal jobs but didn’t pass the bar. I also know they took Barbri or Kaplan’s courses — the two bar prep powerhouses. Costing around $3,000, these courses are a tough nut to swallow. But to most, not taking a bar prep course is a recipe for failure. And besides, after paying for three years of law school, $3K is just another drop in the bucket of student debt.</p>
