Unfortunately, there are always those who do not pass the exam. On our website are literally hundreds of testimonials from students who used our materials successfully. We thought, however, that you might also find these comments from students who took our course and failed their exams to be of interest. (We doubt that any of our competitors will put this kind of information on their sites.)
For obvious reasons of privacy, we've omitted the writers' names and identifying details, but left the messages otherwise intact.
Then, we have some constructive suggestions for those who failed their exams...and this FREE video about the reasons for failing the exam
"I got 544 on the NY exam so will be heading back to sit the exam this year. While not a pass mark I was overall very pleased with my results. The breakdown of my marks reflected what I had thought leaving the exam particularly on what sections let me down so I was happy enough that I had understood my own strengths & weaknesses. In hindsight had I listened to my knowledgeable lecturer and not focused on the minutia but rather focused my attention on getting the knowledge in and using the practice papers to fine tune my understanding I would have probably crossed that line."
"Although I did not pass the CA bar, I think it's
partly because I should have taken the multi state portion to enhance my
essay performance. I think your technique helped me a lot during the test,
but I did not know the CA portion and that truly hurt me. I believe when I
lost my job and you and I had phone conversations, you really helped me more
in how to handle life itself. I believe that if I was taking any other
course, I would probably be really stressed out (more so than I was when I
was taking your course) I believed in myself when I took the exam and I
thought that was a huge deal. It would have been great to pass, but either
way, I am thankful that I took your class because you were tough with me,
even though you knew I was really crashed with the lay off, which turned out
to be a great thing for our family. My husband is doing much better with his
new job after the move, and we bought the nicest house we've ever owned. So
there is a lot to be thankful for. Like you said, passing CA bar is not a
life and death situation!
So thanks for working with me along the way through my difficult path of
life. Thanks for your confidence in me that I would pass. Thanks for
critiquing my essays that were pretty horrible in the beginning. I truly
believed I write better because of your class."
"I'm sorry to report that I failed the
Florida bar again. This time I failed by ONE point (as opposed to 2 1/2 and
2 points the two previous times I took it). Maddening to say the least!
I am not taking the exam again, though, because I feel there is something
else, something bigger than me, that's going on. You were a terrific mentor
and I thank you. Given the opportunity, I will be happy to highly recommend
your course. Thank you again."
"I'm writing to let you know that I didn't pass the bar this time. It was my
first time taking the Florida Bar. Part of me thinks I should be devastated.
The truth is I'm doing rather well.
I'm happy to say that I'm quite impressed with your review course. I'm even
more impressed by your hints, tips, and constant encouragement. That speaks
volumes about the kind of human being you are.
"Although I did not pass the NY Bar Exam, I think your review course was the best fit for me."
"I also want to say in closing, that I don't believe that you should be taking full responsibility for my not passing. This was my third time taking this examination and I have never felt more confident in taking this examination. In fact, my MBE scores, which was always my failing point, was the highest it has ever been. I am just going forward with the same faith because I know that the same God is in control."
"I was a student for the NJ bar and did not pass. I came very very close
thanks to the course. I just wanted to inform you. I thank you again for the
wonderful course because without it I know I wouldn't have gotten as close to
passing as I did."
