I wish I had started with Bar Max. I took the Bar in July and missed by 4 points. I started with Bar Max as soon as I knew I had to retake the test. I watched the videos and followed the basic structure of their plan. The staff was wonderful and supportive. I just got my results and I passed with a score of 284! That is almost a 30 point jump in score. I not only passed the bar for the state I was taking but also passed at a level I can be licensed in any state that accepts the UBE!. Thanks again to the folks at BarMax/TextMax

I come from Puerto Rico a civil law jurisdiction based on Spanish law and concepts. As a general rule we do not discuss common law principles in areas such as real property, contracts, family law, wills, etc. I was completely new to those areas (also Trusts) and BarMax made it very easy for me to learn and understand all the legal concepts and to focus my practice in key essays and MBE’s to maximize my time and effort. The materials, questions, schedule and the office hours made all the difference. I scored over 290 in the UBE which allows me to practice law in any of the 42 jurisdictions!

Loved BarMax
Loved BarMax! I passed the New York Bar on my first attempt while working full-time all the way up to the bar, with just having the weekend off before the bar exam to fly to New York.
BarMax definitely made that possible by not only providing concise and user friendly materials, but also very helpful office hours. I loved the fact that there was only one lecture book to refer to, which made the studying more manageable for me, especially given that I was only studying in the evenings and on the weekends, and I did not find it overwhelming like I did when I chose a competitor test prep company for the CA Bar exam that I sat a few years back.
It's also definitely more affordable than other bar prep companies and that was another reason why I chose it when I decided that I wanted to get licensed in another state.
I also liked using the app on my phone and listening to lectures as I was doing other things/running errands.
I could not stress how much I recommend BarExam!

Ravi was the absolute best
Ravi was the absolute best. He's in a league of his own. I had to retake my test with technical difficulties but still scored 160, which got me a 47k scholarship to Chapman Law School. It wouldn't of been possible without him.

I enjoyed the fact that I was able to study on the go and at my own pace. The questions were very similar to those on the actual bar exam. Once I actually completed the entire course, I passed the bar exam with flying colors.

TestMax was the difference for me…
TestMax was the difference for me passing or failing the bar exam. You need more to pass the bar than long outlines that simply state rules. You need to see those rules applied to varying factual scenarios and need the opportunity to ask questions. TestMax provided that and that is why I passed.

Incredible staff and best Bar Prep in…
The Best Bar Prep Guide in the Market!
I’m a foreign law educated and I used BarMax to take New York Bar Exam. It is very easy to use. A complete and comprehensive bar prep guide. As a parent with a full-time job, taking the bar exam 10 years after graduating law school is not easy. But thanks to BarMax, its lectures, real MBE questions, and its notes I took the New York bar with confidence and passed it with flying colors. I highly recommend it, especially for foreign lawyers.

Passed 13 years after law school! 1st try!
I sat for the bar exam for the 1st time in February 2022, after graduating from law school and working in another field since 2009. Back then, we really only had Barbri and Kaplan to choose from, so I was overwhelmed looking at test prep programs when I started thinking about sitting for the exam. Ultimately, I chose BarMax because they release all materials as soon as you purchase, only use NCBE-released MBE questions, include 10 graded essays, and their schedule/approach is more flexible for non-traditional bar takers. I studied for 5 months while working full-time, with young kids and a military husband that is often away. I also hired a tutor through BarMax to work on writing skills and more difficult MEE topics. I passed the UBE with plenty of room to spare, and didn't need to use any supplemental resources. I went through Barbri in 2009 before ultimately withdrawing from the exam, and this was a completely different experience. Although it was obviously stressful this time around, it was manageable and not nearly as miserable. In addition to only using "real" questions, I think it was also BarMax's focus on active open-book studying and reviewing past MEE essays that led me to be successful. I absolutely would recommend BarMax for the UBE!
