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.

Most TACHS prep starts with drilling. That is the fastest way to waste the time you have, because you cannot study everything at once and you do not yet know what is weak. This app starts with a 28-question diagnostic, about half an hour. It is not a score. It tells you where to begin, and builds a study plan around your test date. BUILT FOR THE TEST AS IT IS NOW The TACHS runs on screen in six timed subtests, one after another: Reading, Written Expression, Mathematics, and three short Ability subtests of figure puzzles. About 2 hours 10 minutes of testing, with a short break between subtests. Inside a subtest you can skip, mark and come back; once you submit a subtest you cannot return to it. There is no penalty for a wrong answer. Practice here runs by those same rules: six subtests, each on its own clock, answer choices lettered the way the test letters them, a cross-out tool for choices you have ruled out, a highlighter on the reading passages, and a basic calculator in the math subtest, the way the test platform now provides one. The format itself is a lesson, so the shape of the day is already familiar. THE ABILITY SECTION, DRAWN Figure matrices, paper folding, figure classification: puzzles most students have never seen before test day. Here they are drawn on screen, hundreds of them, with a worked explanation of the rule behind each one and short lessons on how to read them. WORKED ANSWERS, NOT ANSWER KEYS Every question shows the method, step by step, and then checks the answer against it. Get one wrong and you find out why, not just which letter you missed. MADE FOR iPad, INCLUDING APPLE PENCIL On iPad the question sits beside a scratch pad you can write on with Apple Pencil or a finger, and your working stays next to the worked explanation afterwards so you can compare them line by line. Reading passages open side by side with their questions. WHAT IS INSIDE - 1,734 practice questions across the four sections - 90 lessons, each with worked examples - 86 reading and Written Expression passage sets - Full practice tests in the six-subtest format, about 176 questions each, drawn fresh to the same blueprint every time so a test is worth sitting more than once - Adaptive Practice, a shorter mode that picks what to ask next from how you are doing and tells you the difficulty level you were working at in each section - A one-page report your child can send you when they want to show how it is going The pass unlocks all of it. What stays free is next. FREE, PERMANENTLY - The 28-question diagnostic and the study plan it builds - Your error journal and your progress, always - 10 new questions a day, up to 150 in total - Unlimited redo of anything you have already answered Your progress stays on this device and in your own iCloud, and is never locked: with or without the pass, and after it expires. THE PASS: ONE PAYMENT, NO AUTO-RENEWAL It lasts 365 days from the day you buy it, it does not renew itself, and you will not be charged again. No subscription to remember to cancel. It unlocks every full practice test, the whole lesson library, and the whole question bank with no daily limit. NO DATA COLLECTED No account. No sign-up. No analytics, no advertising, no tracking, and nothing sold to anyone. Your work syncs privately between your own devices through your iCloud account and goes nowhere else.
