My son has been attending this daycare since he was just 6 months old, and as a parent, I couldn't have felt more at peace knowing he's in such capable, loving hands. Angel and Sara go above and beyond in every possible way. They don't just care for the kids--they truly nurture them. From the way they greet every child with warmth and joy to their attentive and thoughtful care throughout the day, it's clear they love what they do and take immense pride in creating a safe, healthy, nourishing, fun, and stimulating environment. The developmental activities they plan throughout the week are fantastic. My son has grown so much cognitively and emotionally, thanks to both their genuine efforts. Sara and Angel are always patient, understanding, and ready to adapt to every child's needs, which is such a rare and wonderful quality. It's also a huge relief to know that they're always on top of things, whether it's following safety protocols, keeping the parents informed though the app through out the day, or simply making the kids feel special and loved. Little Stanford Day Care has become like a second home for our family. Thank you for everything you do! You've set the bar so high, and we're forever grateful.

If you do not have very good understanding of an area of the law or poor writing skills, then this program will not help you. On the other hand, the Barbri books are great, especially Conviser.

The video tutorials explain each question and the answer to help you easily get down to two choices and pick the correct one without guessing. Contrary to what I heard, the MBE prep was good. The Amp exercises were a waste of time.

Preface: I took the…read moreBar Exam in another State and passed it on the first try back in 2008. I moved to California to take the Bar Exam, having already taken Bar Bri. In the other state, I studied for about 3 weeks - from July 6 to July 26. I passed by 16.6 points and did, maybe, 7 practice essays. In California I started preparing over a month early and did about 60-70 practice essays. PROS: Content: Bar Bri has an excellent staff of professors teaching the substantive law. If you actually pay attention during the lectures, they are superb and the professors are often funny (Rich Freer and David Epstein are two examples) and often in self-depracting ways (Paula Franzese and Erwin Chemerinsky come to mind). They have good war stories which are encouraging. You're getting top-notch bar review lectures with these guys. Format: I attended the Live lectures which took place at 9AM to 12 or 1PM. I'm the kind of person who won't get up in the morning to study for the bar unless I have to (although when I took Bar Bri last time in a different state it was at a comfortable 1-4 class). Forcing me to get up at 6AM to beat the traffic to San Francisco on the bridge did WONDERS for my study habits. I only missed one [substantive] lecture and it was a video lecture. Most of the lectures were video but the live lectures were always a nice treat. Essay Workshops: In particular Professor Sakai, who is a multiple bar exam repeater himself, offered a very honest assessment of how to prepare for the essays: do them. Do them to learn the substantive law, do them to practice for time. Don't just sit in bed and circle MBE answer choices. Force yourself to write a full 1-hour essay per subject over and over and give yourself time crunches. The Performance Test lecture by Lisnek was also very good because he made us prepare an actual PT in class. Most people don't practice PT's, period. The Website: Here's the key: the website has all of the "Early Bird Lectures" and "Law School Lectures" already up on the website long before the class starts. I watched all of them. Less than a month after that, they put the actual substantive lectures up on the website that will be done in class. I watched all of those the month before Bar Bri started. That way I had already reviewed each substantive area 1-3 times before the class even started (I think I've heard enough of Erwin Chemerinsky for a lifetime between this bar review and last). The point is if you have a short attention span like myself, you won't pay 100% attention during the class. But if you're hearing it for the 2-5th time, yeah it will finally stick. CONS: Price: Though I can't really complain because as a second bar exam taker from another state, I got a discount, the price is very steep. Expect to save up or take a loan out for the bar review process. Essay Grading: This has to be the strangest and least intellectually honest part of the class. Bar Bri seems to instruct their graders to purposely fail everyone to motivate them to work harder. This is negative for a few reasons. Option #1: People will be demotivated and stop trying. That happened to me the first time when I received a low score on a subject I knew inside and out. Option #2: People will just ignore the Bar Bri grades. That happened to me the second time. I just added 5 points to every essay Bar Bri graded. I received 3 60's, a 65 and a 55 on the Performance Test. You need an overall of 65 on all to pass the essays. And I passed the bar exam. My advice is to just ignore Bar Bri's grading and seek an extra service to help with grading essays if you need it. But if you prepare correctly the vast majority of essays you write will not be graded and you can just compare it to the model answer, which moves us on. Model Answers: These model answers in the essay books were written by very intelligent people with all of the time in the world. The Bar Bri graders seem to just compare our graded essays with the model answers. They were not done in 60 minutes with other essays done right before that. On the flip side, the model answers are very positive as well. If and when you don't finish all of the essays, start memorizing the model answers, It will do wonders when you regurgitate them on the actual exam. Bar Bri's Schedule: Bar Bri's regimented schedule is unrealistic and not geared toward people who have different strengths and weaknesses. It's not flexible. Find out what's best for you (for example I took the no-MBE Attorney's Exam and just ignored all the Bar Bri AMP and MBE lectures) based upon your strengths, weaknesses and needs and do that. Even one of the Professors told us to ignore the schedule. No one keeps up with it and if you try and follow it you'll just end up thinking you're deficient. I didn't even look at it. Why 4 Stars? Because I passed the February 2013 California Bar Exam. The overall pass rate was 41%. And if you put in the work, and have faith, it might work too.
