*** 
Barbri’s co-founder and former President recommends BarMax.

“After leaving Barbri after 20 years, I thought I would start another bar review course. And then I discovered BarMax . . . The materials are first class. The lecturers are first class. The content is geared to the bar examination . . . I highly recommend BarMax." -Stan Chess

“I took the Cal Bar four times before I passed. I served as a representative for a widely popular study course. I studied for the Cal Bar using this well-known course without success. I was turned onto BarMax through a friend who used the same program and failed the Cal Bar three times. After using BarMax for the first time, my friend passed, as did I. I couldn’t recommend BarMax any higher. It’s affordable, convenient, and effective. I wouldn’t be a lawyer today without BarMax.” 
- Shannon Ripple, Humphreys College of Law

“The cost savings are great, but in my opinion, the real advantage is that the BarMax course itself is simply better than the competition.” 
- Susan Brown, University of Toronto

### 1/5 — App is faulty

*2026-06-29, version 2025.05*

Downloaded the app. Entered phone number for verification, but after three attempts I still have no code to enter. Off to another app I go.

### 5/5 — Best Bar Prep

*2026-04-16, version 2025.05*

I passed the bar on my first try using barmax. I love that I can study anywhere, anytime.

### 1/5 — No, just no

*2026-03-28, version 2025.05*

Took the February bar using this app. Felt woefully unprepared. The multiple choice questions seemed so different from those on the test. I had a glitch and couldn’t access info on the app from my phone for over a week. I plan to purchase another bar prep program next month.

### 5/5 — Lawyer in Progress

*2026-03-17, version 2025.05*

I was upset I did not pass my first time. I decided to go all out and give myself a chance to succeed. I really want this and I still have to write my essays but so far I am enjoying the lectures and multiple choice questions. I enjoy studying from my phone and really happy Mehran created an affordable program for people who want to pass. I am looking forward to putting in the work and letting others know about BarMax so we can help others who need a voice. For me, I truly do want to change the world for the better.

### 5/5 — Thank you

*2025-12-09, version 2025.05*

Thank you BarMax for this application that prepares students for passing Bar exam. I look forward to tutoring sessions in my learning plan

### 1/5 — Can’t log in

*2025-09-19, version 2025.05*

Asking me to verify through phone number and doesn’t send a text, I tried 2 different numbers and still nothing

### 5/5 — Good product for bar prep!

*2025-06-01, version 2025.03*

Easy to use and accurate content. I like the outlines and courses very much. The quiz after each chapter is very helpful for immediate check-up after the course! Highly recommend!

### 1/5 — Does not honor purchases from 2015

*2025-03-31, version 2025.02*

I purchased MBE prep in 2015. I wanted to see some materials and it does not let me access the account.

### 5/5 — BarMax rocks

*2025-01-30, version 2025.02*

I used another bar review provider twice and did not pass the CA bar. I used BarMax and passed! They focused on what is actually tested,  not the kitchen sink approach.

### 5/5 — Enjoying my Bar Preparation very much

*2025-01-28*

I was upset I did not pass my first time. I decided to go all out and give myself a chance to succeed. I really want this and I still have to write my essays but so far I am enjoying the lectures and multiple choice questions. I enjoy studying from my phone and really happy Mehran created an affordable program for people who want to pass. I am looking forward to putting in the work and letting others know about BarMax so we can help others who need a voice. For me, I truly do want to change the world for the better.

This has been years in the making but I am not giving up! I am writing this at 1:11 am to the sound of neighbors that I don’t want to be living around. I swear that failure is not an option for July 2025.

I’m going to do my MBEs nonstop right now and essays during the day nonstop.

I AM A LAWYER NOW!!!!!
