Law school is not a delightful experience for many people who earn law degrees. Right after graduation, most new JD's spend the next couple of months studying for and taking the California Bar Examination. Here, a comparatively large percentage of those people fail the bar exam and have to come back for another try several months later. It's also common for people who didn't get good grades or other marks of law school success to outperform their higher-rated classmates on the single test that matters most.

What's the secret of success for the first-time applicant?  Here are some common qualities:

• Discipline - the ability to make a schedule and stick to it

• Practice - learn the law and the test-taking skills needed for success

• Balance - the ability to keep the exam in perspective

• Self-Awareness - knowing when to push it and when to quit early

Our Business and First-Time Candidates

Cal Bar Exam.Com is not a full-service bar review course. We do not offer substantive law lectures or academic outlines of the black letter law. Our work supplements a full-service course and provides personal training for the exam.

Our on-line writing course for the essay and performance sections of the California Bar Examination, Scott Pearce's Master Essay Method is a fine supplemental course for bar exam writing. On-line Essay Critiques and one-on-one Tutorial Services also can be an invaluable help to candidates who wish to make the California Bar Examination a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
