Read what your Loyola classmates have to say about BARWINNERS and how they passed the California Bar Exam:
Before enrolling into BARWINNERS’, I had taken several bar courses, including Bar/Bri and a private tutor. BARWINNERS not only taught me the law but it taught me how to couch the law and facts the way the bar examiners want to read it. Professor Karney and the whole team at BARWINNERS gave me an approach to use in order to master the bar. In July, I used the BARWINNERS Approach not only on the essays, but the performance exam and the multistate as well. After attending the first class at BARWINNERS, I said to one of my colleagues, “If I would have knows about this course and taken it the first time, I would have passed.”
I am so proud to be an alumni of Loyola Law School and am amazed at the opportunities it has given me. Thank you very much.

Seven Secrets to Passing the Bar

I PASSED THE JULY 2010 BAR EXAM THE 1ST TIME! Whew! Especially since I wasn't able to fit into my law school schedule all the subjects tested on the CA Bar Exam. As SBA President at Loyola, I was very involved in putting on events, activities, and in organizations like PILF. I needed BARWINNERS to keep me focused, the live classes, simulated bar exam sessions, feedback and "compassionate butt- kicking". BARWINNERS is awesome. Thank you Shari. WE DID IT!
Dear Shari,
I cannot thank you enough for such a wonderful bar review course. As you know, I passed the bar and I am certain it is because of your course.
APPROACH BOOK: Specifically the course outlines (“Bar Bible”) were excellent. They gave an overview of the subject matter without getting bogged down in the details. Since the bar exam is a basic test of one’s knowledge of the law, the outlines were perfect.
The approaches were simple and straightforward. When I was taking the bar, I was able to read the questions and immediately think back to the approaches and know exactly what to write and how to lay it out. This saved me so much time that I actually finished the first essay exam early.
PERSONAL ATTENTION: Another aspect of your course that I loved was the personal attention hart you showed to each of us. The encouraging phone calls and honest assessments of my progress were such a help in keeping me motivated and on task.
GRADING FEEDBACK: Having each practice test personally graded was also helpful in measuring where were in terms of readiness for the bar. Having the detailed feedback with both positive and negative comments was a big factor in my success.
CLASSES: I did attend every single class and practice test, which I believe was critical to my success. However, I didn’t study nearly as hard as my study partner Allie, who studied double to what I did.
I guess it goes to show that everyone is different in his or her approach and it also shows how incredible and effective your course and materials are in preparing someone for the bar exam.
In short, I was extremely please with the course and would recommend it to anyone planning to take the California bar exam. Thank you again for everything.
Be Blessed.
