BARBRI has innovated beyond rigid schedules for the most adaptive and flexible bar review course.
It’s true that when students historically studied for the bar exam in a physical classroom, the bar prep schedule was very rigid. But today, BARBRI designs its bar prep courses so you can personalize your study to best fit you and your learning style. Read on to discover how choosing BARBRI allows you to create a just-for-you bar prep experience.
We created ISAAC, the data-driven engine behind your bar prep course
ISAAC, your Intuitive Study Assistant and Coach, is the engine that creates your BARBRI course. It’s the difference between a “one size fits all” bar review course and a “personalized specifically for you” experience. ISAAC knows what can be tested, what you’re most likely to be tested on, and how much time remains until your exam. It also gets to know your strongest subjects and those where you need a little more work. Simply put, following ISAAC’s recommendations throughout bar prep is the best way to ensure that you know enough on exam day about enough areas of the law to land on the passing side of the bar exam curve.
When you first access your course, you will select your start date and customize your schedule. You can select days of the week you’d like to study regularly, as well as days you need to take off. Unlike other bar prep providers, BARBRI does not require you to contact a representative to customize your study plan. With BARBRI, you have the power to create an ideal bar prep schedule for you at your fingertips. Whether you’re on track, working ahead or falling a bit behind, ISAAC adapts to ensure the work you complete will get you the most points possible.
Most BARBRI students choose to study for the bar exam over 8-10 weeks. They graduate from law school, take a few days off, then begin bar prep in earnest. If this sounds like you, plan to spend an average of 40 hours per week studying. Treat bar prep like you would treat a new, important job. The time you put in will be well worth the results. Where you study, which days you choose to study during the week, and what time(s) of day you study are up to what works best for you, and ISAAC considers your schedule when making assignment recommendations. If you take a day off, spend less time studying one day or more time on another, ISAAC constantly and automatically adjusts.
Don’t have 40 hours to spend each week? Planning to take some time off during bar prep? Start studying a couple of weeks earlier and spread your study hours over a longer period. BARBRI Bar Review courses typically open 12 weeks (about 3 months) before the bar exam.
We offer bite-sized interactive lectures taught by expert professors
Whether you want to binge through several videos at a time or take notes in between lectures, BARBRI's on-demand lecture experience makes it easy to complete shorter segments and take regular breaks.
With our new 20-30 minute lecture format, you will stay engaged, focused, and on track throughout your bar review course. Shorter lectures mean more productive bar prep. Our bite-sized lessons are designed for optimal knowledge retention that allows you to squeeze in one more lecture before meeting friends for dinner. Learn from the same expert professors, but with lectures that are formatted to help you learn more and enhance your learning experience through regular feedback and interactive lectures.
We developed MyBARBRI Connect to help students study online, but not alone
Every BARBRI student gets access to MyBARBRI Connect, which helps you learn the best bar prep course tips and tricks from our community. We invite all BARBRI Bar Review students to join live interactive Strategies & Insights virtual webinars held throughout bar prep.
In addition to Strategies & Insights webinars, most BARBRI Bar Review courses allow you to collaborate virtually with a Strategies Group & Coach from anywhere in the world. Your Strategies Group is a series of small group sessions led by an expert bar prep coach that provides support and bar exam strategy advice throughout your course. They offer the opportunity to ask questions in a relaxed, digital environment as you connect with fellow bar-takers.
