"Just wanted to let you know
that I passed the July 2007 Georgia One-Day Attorney's Examination with a
score of 157. Originally, I am a Florida attorney who took and passed the
Florida Bar examination back in July of 2000, after using a competitor's
course that was recently named in a class action lawsuit. I only scored a 147
on the Florida section of the Florida Bar examination, which leads me to
conclude that your course is better or that the Georgia Bar is easier. (I
thought the Georgia bar was quite challenging). "I passed the July
Georgia bar exam. This was my second attempt and I believe the sole reason I
passed this time was my renewed emphasis on the Multistate questions. I made
a habit of practicing 10-25 questions every evening while I was studying.
This resulted in the increase I needed to pass the exam. Thank you for taking
the time to put together the exam information. It is a monumental task and I
appreciate your hard work and dedication to your students. I will be happy to
recommend your system to other bar takers."

Pursuant to my Google search, I found that you have one of the few courses
that prepare Bar applicants for the Georgia attorney's examination. After
having been a JAG prosecutor, defense attorney, or military justice instructor
for the past 5 1/2 years at Ft. Benning, Georgia, I was nervous that I would
be rusty in subjects such as Torts, Contracts, Civ Pro, and Property. However,
I felt very confident that I passed the Attorney's exam on the drive home from
Atlanta after the examination.
I ordered my course in early June, so I read along with the outline as I
listened to my iPod. I'm sure that my result would have been even better had I
read the outline prior to listening to the corresponding lecture, the way you
recommend. But, while I do not recommend disregarding your syllabus, it is
possible to cram your 3 month course into about 30 days of full-time,
8-hours-a-day studying.
Thanks for all the prayers and the excellent instruction. As a
Christian,
I knew the investment in your course was money well spent when you stated in
your orientation lecture that you would pray for us. I would highly recommend
your course to anyone taking the Georgia Attorney's examination. "

"I was extremely satisfied with the Celebration course for the Georgia bar.
Both the books and the lectures were strong--in particular, I appreciated the
lecturers' focus on presenting and explaining the law in a straightforward
fashion, without any editorializing. The practice materials were also very good,
and I felt that I had plenty to occupy myself with in preparation. And as for
personal attention, I think there's just no comparison between Celebration and
the courses that most of my friends took. Not only did the mentoring feature
help me with the nuts and bolts of the essays, it also produced confidence in
having somebody tracking my progress.
Add in the fact that I was able to study sitting out on the beach and by the
pool while most of my friends were watching a video in a classroom, and it
becomes a no-brainer :). If I ever need to prepare for another bar exam in the
future, I am sure that I will first check to see if Celebration offers a course
for that state."

"I passed the exam but, like I said right after the
exam, I felt I would pass the exam. I have never been more confident after an
exam as I was after the Georgia Bar Exam. The cassette tapes were a life
saver. As a practicing professional who reads transcripts all day, the last
thing I want to do at night is read outlines. This course was exactly what I
needed. If I were to take another bar exam, I definitely would hope that
Celebration makes materials for that state's exam."

"As you probably know by now I did pass the Georgia exam. When I did this over
twenty five years ago I told myself that I would never do it again but here I
am. The most important thing about your course was the emphasis on doing the
essays and following the method you suggested and staying within the time
limits. The second thing to remember is that it is a pass-fail system, which
makes a little easier when you are not sure about the question that you have
answered. My biggest problem at the beginning was following your suggestion of
how to outline and analyze and having to hedge on the answers, especially after
having decided thousands of cases as a judge and having written hundreds of
decisions. I would recommend the course to others. The materials were
well organized and easy to follow (even for an old guy like me!)."

Georgia exam! I appreciate your honesty, encouragement, and guidance as I
prepared for the exam. Your program of personal mentoring was exactly what I
needed! Thanks again for your thoughts and prayers for me as I got ready for
and took the exam. God bless you as you help others prepare for their exams as
well!"

"After taking the Bar Bri review
course SEVERAL times and failing the bar.....I decided
to try Celebration Bar Exam Review, because I
needed to get some feedback on what I was doing
wrong. At first, I did not like the fact that Jackson
required me to write as he "instructed". I even tried to revert to my old
writing style, but Jackson assured me that he would not critique my work
if I chose to revert back to my old writing
style....besides as Jackson stated to me " it didn't
work the other times, so try it my way". So needless to
say, I tried it Celebration's way and IT
WORKED!!!!!!!!! I passed the July '02
bar exam and I know that Jackson played and major part in my success."

"As a practicing patent attorney already licensed
in Texas, I found
Celebration Bar Exam Review's materials-only option a very efficient tool in
preparing for the Georgia Attorney's Examination. The tapes were well-organized
and the books presented the necessary information without an excess of material to wade through. Many thanks."

"Celebration
Bar Exam Review
is the most comprehensive bar review on the market. Its easy-to-read outlines, preparatory guides and individual mentoring
enables you to gauge your individual progress and trains you for success. Most importantly, because Celebration creates a study program according to
each individual's needs, you cannot fail! This was the best money I have
ever spent."

"With the help of Celebration Bar Exam
Review,
I passed both the Florida and Georgia Bar Exams in less than 7 months time.
This is truly an outstanding course for the practicing lawyer - I worked full
time while studying for each test, and I never felt overwhelmed or rushed. I
highly recommend this course, especially if you have a busy life at work and
home. Thanks Jackson!"

"I truly appreciate your organization and the professional materials provided. Eleven years ago I graduated law school and have not looked back. Actually, I felt it was my duty to forget most of the detail I was taught. Your course provided every bit of information I needed to pass in one sitting. My whole family thanks you!!! Have a great Thanksgiving - I know I will not having to think about a retest!"

" I passed the GA bar exam (attorney's exam). I'm glad your program was out there - it certainly worked for me. I was as nervous going on line tonight as I was 11 years ago opening up the envelope from the Maine bar examiners. Its a great feeling and I couldn't have done it without your excellent materials and your encouragement. Thanks."

"I just wanted to let you know that I passed the Feb. GA Bar Exam. The review course that you provide is excellent! The practice exams were quite beneficial. It really helped adjusting to the time limitations, especially since I have been out of law school and practicing for 20+ years. Thanks again."

"I just got the word that I passed the Georgia Bar. Thank you for your assistance and your instruction. Particularly having been out of law school for 20 years and having taken my last Bar exam 15 years ago, I found your approach and instructional methods a perfect fit for my bar preparation. I would highly recommend your program to anyone similarly situated to me and wholeheartedly would endorse your program."

"I passed the Georgia Bar! Thank you for your help and advice. ...Your course gave me the structure and direction I needed to be successful. Now I can look forward to Thanksgiving and Christmas without studying."

I passed the July Georgia bar because your course was so effective. You made it easy to use...the essay practice was effective. I could just follow your directions and didn't have to waste energy on worrying what I should do."
F.S. McManus
Thank you for all your help and advice. I do not think I would have
passed without your help. I've already recommended your course to my
friends.
Nina Martin, July 2000 Student
I felt great about my essays. I wrote just like you told me to.
I did
a mini outline and my answer was VERY organized and neat. Because of the
outline, I knew that I addressed every issue that needed to be addressed.
I would, and have, recommend this course for other students. I felt that I
was more prepared than others because my writing had been critiqued on
several assignments, I had 24/7 access to a mentor and I was able to study
at my own pace.

You earned your money. I received a passing score on the July 99 Georgia exam. Thanks for all the feedback.

As someone who used BarBri on several occasions to pass the Bar in several
states, I can state with complete confidence Celebration Bar Exam Review beats
them hands down. The personalized contact, the individualized mentoring,
and the quality of both the lectures and the essay review are top notch, and
heads-above the competition. I challenge anyone to find a better program for any amount of money
anywhere.

Thank you for your assistance in helping me prepare for and pass the above referenced exam. I was unfamiliar with bar review courses since I had been out of law school for 21 years. I did a search on the Web and your site was prominent.
I liked the look of the Web page. I liked your response when I called for a brochure and I liked that you were an owner of the company and subsequently became my mentor. I liked the look of the promotional literature that was sent to me. I enlisted.
The box of written outlines and audiocassette lectures overwhelmed me. Then I saw the personal study outline that recommended spending 10 to 12 hours a week on the materials! Where was I going to get that kind of time?
For over 2 months if anyone saw me in my car or during my "leisure" time, I had a head set on to listen to lectures. I did outline reviews and essay writing in the evening. The key was investing the time on a regular basis. At some point it became "fun" to engage in those exercises rather than it being a chore.
The support I received from the Bar Review far exceeded a delivery of materials. The program apparently uses the most advanced learning techniques, combining a personal study guide to manage the outlines and tapes, as well as providing a personal mentor. The use of a mentor or "coach" was invaluable, not just as a third party to monitor my progress, but as an aid to learning strategies, test taking strategies, and essay writing.
The use of E-mail enhanced the experience tremendously by facilitating the flow of information between mentor and student(s). If any of your students do not use E-mail, they should start doing so for this experience alone. The weekly, then daily support tips helped me gain perspective.
Some particularly insightful quotes, as well as other tips and the test anxiety workshop tape, helped me to focus on the appropriate learning processes, the testing process, and the difference between remembering knowledge and applying it during a test situation. All things considered, I feel your Bar Review had a holistic approach to bar exam preparation. I give it my highest recommendation!
Very truly yours,
S. R. Jacob
Despite the lowest passage rate in eight years (59.8%), 1 am happy to report that I passed the Georgia bar exam! The study program you specifically developed for me was right on target! I credit the personal attention and quality materials I received from the Bar Review as the key to my success on an exam that is currently in state of flux and which has become more difficult over the last few years.
My mentor at the Bar Review taught me how to handle essay questions that no one in their right mind would have ever expected on the Georgia Bar exam. This came in handy on the February exam when I was confronted with a mind boggling real property question that no amount of studying would have prepared me for. Instead of panicking, I kept my cool and utilized what I had learned throughout the course.
Your keen insights on what the bar examiner's were looking for in essays and a well organized study approach were most beneficial to me. As a student of yours, I quickly learned that rote memorization, practicing thousands of old MBE questions and reading past model essay questions were by no means the best way to maximize the time I had to study for this exam, While many recent law school graduates decide to follow the pack and take a traditional bar review course, I would urge all test takers to seriously consider the benefits of the your Bar Review Program at a time when this exam has become both unpredictable and more difficult to pass.
T. Grow
Wanted to let you know I passed the February Georgia Bar, although I noticed they don't release the scores.
Evidently, that Property question from Mars wasn't enough to keep me out. Thanks for all the competent help and advice... You more than earned the tuition!
G. Riley
Thanks.
I just wanted to say thank you for the daily messages you provided before the bar exam.
Having taken two previous bar exams, I did not utilize your essay critiques as you intended them. Nevertheless, I seemed to have made it through satisfactorily.
Your materials were excellent, as was your responsiveness to my questions. I also liked your individualized study guide. I found it very reasonable, even while working full time. I would recommend your program to others without hesitation. Thank you again.
