Great tutoring. Okay materials.
I took the CA attorney exam, so admittedly my task was more limited — just essays. I didn’t feel like I could navigate the app that well, although the lectures were generally helpful, as were the materials. I really appreciated the print materials I bought separately more, because I had something in my hand and they were largely good. BarMax’s materials did serve as a useful (more updated) supplement, and their lectures were nice to listen to while doing other things. Outside of BarMax, I purchased and used Mary Rasick’s red California Performance Test essay book and blue Essay Exam Writing text for much of my learning. That being said, I took the exam using those, without BarMax, and failed. My second time, a year later, 16 years removed from law school, I took three weeks off from work and got the BarMax package that included 10 private tutoring hours, and I passed. It was fantastic. I worked with Jennifer exclusively, and I feel quite indebted, because she walked me through ideas I didn’t understand, taught me practical test-taking techniques, reviewed numerous practice essays of mine and gave useful feedback, and did a host of other little helpful things. Would highly recommend the private tutoring with Jennifer.
