“I passed the NY bar exam [UBE] this past February. I was working full time for an international law firm and preparing for the bar. Your work helped me a whole lot and do not know how to thank you enough for your great work. 90% of the issues I encountered at the NY bar exam were included in your document. Many thanks for the excellent work.”

“Nothing was as helpful as SmartBarPrep in my preparation for the essay section of the bar exam. I only wish I had found it earlier. While there is no magic bullet for the bar exam, this came pretty close. Thank you for your time and effort in creating such a useful tool.”

“Your outlines were crucial in me being able to study for the written portion of the California Bar. The more essays you practice you really see how your outlines nail which rules are important and which aren’t. There’s so much information on the California Bar, it’s important to focus on what matters and what doesn’t. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to ace the written portion of the Bar.”
