Study smarter and crush the bar exam and other tests with Crushendo! Crushendo provides innovative, affordable, & effective exam prep and study aids to help you crush the bar exam, the MPRE, law school finals, and soon the Certified Paralegal Exam as well! Crushendo was developed and founded by Adam Balinski, a BYU Law School graduate who graduated summa cum laude and scored in the top 5% nationally on the Uniform Bar Exam. He implemented the strategies that helped him be successful into Crushendo's material, and made Crushendo way better than what he had used. Enjoy the freedom & flexibility of getting to study effectively with game-changing audio outlines while working out, commuting, cleaning, golfing, hiking . . . you get the idea. See why people love studying with Crushendo: "I 100% recommend Crushendo for bar prep or during law school... The program gives you the most important information in a way that is easy to understand & memorize... I was able to study while I went on walks, sat by the pool, or worked out... I really don’t think I would have passed if it wasn’t for this program!" — MacKenzie Potter, BYU Law School "I PASSED!!!! Crushendo is like no other bar prep!!! Over the past few years, I’ve struggled to pass the exam! I used Barbri, Themis, and even AdaptiBar, but there was something about these audios that struck a chord! I finally passed and am extremely grateful I . . . tried Crushendo!" — KeLine Ajanoh, Arizona Summit Law School "[Crushendo] was by far the MAIN reason I passed the bar exam. Taking the bar exam during a pandemic was daunting, but having outlines that interactive that I can take on a walk - is life saving. . . . I found myself quoting the outlines and the mnemonics during the bar exam. I have recommended this bar prep to all upcoming law school grads. This was a saving grace. I was able to save my mental health and pass the bar exam, which is not something competitors like Barbri allow for." — April Gregory, Georgetown University School of Law If you have any questions or experience any issues, please email Crushendo at support@crushendo.com.
