A Message from BarBri’s Former President.

After leaving Barbri after 20+ years, I thought I would start another bar exam review course, and then I discovered BarMax.

What I planned to do, BarMax was doing. BarMax to me represents the future of bar review.

The cost savings are great, but in my opinion, the real advantage is that the BarMax course itself is simply better than the competition.

Leslie Lee Gildea

The way the MBE practice questions are laid out ensures that you understand why you got certain questions wrong and forces you to go back and tackle your weak areas.

David Glasgow

I had never studied any American law before and took the course by myself. I found out a couple of weeks ago that I passed the exam!

BarMax

BarMax is the future of bar exam preparation. Thousands of students across the United States have used it to pass their exam and gain bar admission, and we are confident it will help you as well. With features including audio lectures, checklists, outlines, a detailed review course and more, BarMax will help you overcome the last hurdle to becoming a licensed lawyer.

Why Choose BarMax?

BarMax is the best thing to having an actual bar examiner with you as you prepare. You can use it anywhere you like, and at any time of the day or night. There will be no need for you to spend your time in a cramped class surrounded by stressed-out students – you can immerse yourself in the best preparation experience available from the comfort of your own home, the beach or wherever else you like.

Complete Exam Preparation

In addition to convenience, BarMax offers unparalleled access to in-depth content. Not only will you gain access to more than 1,750 actual MBE questions, you will also see a large number of essays as well as practice questions that will get you completely prepared for your test. Our multistate bar examination tools help give you a major advantage, and have resulted in pass rates that far exceed the national average.

Actual Questions

One of the pitfalls of other bar admission preparation services is that they use made-up MBE questions rather than the real thing. In order to properly prepare for your bar exam, you need real questions that have been officially licensed. BarMax includes these questions, as well as four online practice exams. We provide officially licensed MPT and MEE questions as well.

Manageable Materials

Other bar review courses inundate students with an overwhelming number of materials. They often include MBE outlines, state-specific outlines, long and short outlines and much more. But these companies fail to take into account that test takers need to only achieve a score of 65% in order to pass. You don’t need to be an expert in any of the subjects on your bar exam, and you definitely don’t to be an expert in all of them. That’s why we minimize the amount of content in BarMax, providing you only relevant content so you don’t bog down in minutiae. After all, you won’t get any extra credit for making higher than a passing score. So why put that extra burden on your shoulders?

Real Answers from Real Examinees

It’s easy for someone writing for a bar exam prep course to give perfect answers to questions on the written part of the test. After all, they’re under no time pressure to do so. It’s simply not realistic to expect a bar examinee to be able to do the same thing. That’s whey we provide BarMax users with real answers from people who have actually taken the test, under the same time constraints that you’ll face. These answers aren’t perfect – in fact, they’re filled with inaccuracies. But all of the examinees who wrote them passed their tests. Again, the point of taking the bar exam is to pass, not to try and make a perfect score. The more you realize this, the less intimidating the exam will be.

Affordability

You’ve already spent one fortune simply getting through law school. You shouldn’t have to spend another trying to gain bar admission. That’s why you can get full access to BarMax with 0% down and payments as low as $42 a month. You can make 3, 6 or 12 monthly payments – whatever works best for your budget.

MPRE Review Course

If you are taking the MPRE, we give you everything you’ll need to prepare as thoroughly as possible – and we do it for free. You’ll get not only more than 150 multiple-choice questions, but you will also receive audio lectures that cover all of the topics covered on the exam. Plus, you’ll receive flashcards, outlines and more. If you need more questions, you can purchase 60 of them – questions that are officially licensed by the National Conference of Bar Examiners – for just $19.99.

Bar Exam Essay Grading

You will also receive two complimentary critiques from people who have real experience grading for multistate bar exams. With BarMax You not only get an accurate practice score, you also gain priceless feedback that will get you ready for your actual exam. In most cases, students will receive their critiques within 2-5 days during non-peak periods. It might take longer during the month before the exam due to a higher number of submissions.

We’ve Been There

BarMax was developed by alumni of the Harvard Law School who know all about the frustrations and inefficiencies that can be a part of preparing for the bar examination. If you are looking to self-study and looking for an effective, affordable alternative, there simply is no better choice.
