Most passes of any course
We love hearing "I passed!" from our students. And more have passed using BARBRI than with all other bar review courses combined. In fact, nearly 90% of our students who do the average amount of prep pass the bar exam.
Don’t just take our word for it, though. Ask the 1.3 million lawyers, judges and legal professionals who have passed The BARBRI Way.
Proven bar prep process
Take a deep breath and remember: you're in good hands. With BARBRI, you get the peace of mind that comes from trusting the most proven bar prep process.
We’ve spent over 50 years optimizing and investing in The BARBRI Way. And that’s why every minute you spend on BARBRI increases your chances of passing the bar exam.
The largest pool of students
More students study with BARBRI every bar exam administration than with all other bar prep courses combined. So, you’ll get see where your scores fall compared to thousands of your peers throughout bar prep. For an exam with a curved score, this means you’ll know your chances of passing. The best part? You’ll have the time, insights and knowledge to adjust before you sit for your actual exam.
Get the most points
Most people who are unsuccessful on their bar exam miss the cut line by a few points. Just 5 or 10 extra points could have pushed them over the pass line.
BARBRI Bar Review is designed to help you score the most points on your exam. In fact, studies show that BARBRI students score 25 more points, which could be precisely the final push you need to pass.
Life doesn’t stop during bar prep
You have your own learning style and schedule. Your bar prep should reflect that. ISAAC is the engine that creates your BARBRI Personal Study Plan (PSP). It’s the difference between a "one size fits all” course and a "personalized specifically for you" experience. Everything ISAAC assigns is statistically correlated to passing your bar exam. And it automatically recalibrates as it learns from you, your schedule customizations and time remaining until your exam. Whether you’re on track, working ahead or falling a bit behind, ISAAC makes sure you will get you the most points possible.

Experiences ISAAC curates throughout your course
Your online, personalized study schedule
Your Personal Study Plan or PSP is your online, personalized study schedule that adapts to you throughout your BARBRI Bar Review course. In other words, it's your personalized bar prep "to-do" list. Your PSP is where you'll see what's due, what's coming and what you've already done.
Your PSP is run by an engine called ISAAC, your Intuitive Study Assistant And Coach. ISAAC will assign lectures, practice questions, workshops, simulations, essays and more through your PSP. ISAAC uses AI, algorithms and more to first focus your study on what's most likely to be tested on your exam. As you progress, ISAAC recalibrates your PSP as it learns from you, and re-prioritizes assignments based on how much time is left between you and your exam… all while remaining focused on what's most important to passing your bar exam.
What’s really cool is that everything ISAAC assigns is statistically correlated to passing your bar exam.

Know exactly how you’re doing at every step
The Progress Center in your PSP shows you exactly where you stand at every step throughout your BARBRI Bar Review course. You’ll always know how much you’ve completed and if you’re staying on track.
You’ll also see how you’re doing, by subject, compared to the rest of the students who are studying with BARBRI for your bar exam. Since the majority of law school graduates study with BARBRI every administration, this means that you’ll know how you’re doing compared to the majority of people who will be taking your same bar exam throughout your entire bar preparation.
This is invaluable insight that will help ensure you are doing well enough, in enough areas, to ultimately pass your exam. And insight you can only get with BARBRI.

Live, interactive bar prep strategy sessions
BARBRI continues to re-imagine the bar exam prep experience with the introduction of MyBARBRI Connect. All BARBRI Bar Review students are invited to join live, interactive Strategies & Insights virtual webinars held throughout bar prep.
We use our 50+ years of experience and learning science to strategically introduce topics at the optimal time to keep you motivated, focused on mastering the right things at the right time and resilient throughout the process.
Strategies & Insights webinars cover how to best use your BARBRI resources, how to develop rule mastery, how to use your Simulated MBE results to impact real exam results, study and exam day tips and more.
In addition to Strategies & Insights webinars, most BARBRI Bar Review options also allow you to collaborate with a Strategies Group & Coach.
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. Your assigned coach remains with your same strategies group throughout your course. They provide the opportunity to ask learning and exam strategy questions in a relaxed, digital environment as you connect with fellow bar-takers.

Statistically increase your chances of passing
The BARBRI Simulated MBE is an opportunity you don't want to miss. The simulation, held several weeks prior to your actual exam, exposes you to the mental and physical rigors of the Multistate Bar Exam so you know what to expect on exam day.
Data scientists have found the BARBRI Simulated MBE to be one of the most powerful and significant experiences in preparing to pass the bar exam. In fact, just experiencing the simulation, regardless of your score, statistically increases your chances of passing your bar exam.
After you take the Simulated MBE, you'll get an invaluable score report that we call your Pass Predictor. Since the majority of law school graduates study with BARBRI every administration, only your Pass Predictor score report tells you where you sit on the bar exam curve, in every MBE subject AND subtopic, before the actual exam.
Getting this insight weeks before you take your actual bar exam will help you determine exactly where to focus the remainder of your study time. You can only get this level of insight with BARBRI.

Incrementally build knowledge & accelerate learning
ISAAC curates and assigns questions from a 2,500+ multiple-choice learning and practice question bank that has been nurtured and grown over 50+ years of successful bar prep.
It’s not simply the quantity of multiple-choice questions that you work that matters. The specific questions you answer, and the order in which you answer them, greatly impacts learning and retention.
That’s why ISAAC incrementally builds your skills and substantive knowledge throughout your course.
Early in your course, ISAAC uses proprietary methodology and algorithms to curate multiple-choice question sets to build a strong foundation and framework. As you get deeper into your studies, ISAAC assigns more difficult questions as well as mixed-subject question sets, layering in more difficult questions testing finer points.
ISAAC always focuses more heavily on areas of the law that you’re statistically most likely to encounter on exam day. ISAAC also uses spaced repetition and interleaves practice between subjects, two strategies that are scientifically shown to maximize learning and retention.
Additionally, all BARBRI multiple-choice questions include explanatory answers written by BARBRI subject matter experts that help you understand why answer options were correct or incorrect. Reviewing these expert explanatory answers is another key strategy to learning and building knowledge from each multiple-choice question you encounter.
This entire process is scientifically shown to boost learning and retention and, ultimately, pass the bar exam.
2500+ curated multiple-choice questions is a feature included in:
Self Pass Guided Pass Ultimate PassFirm Pass
Thousands of supplemental multiple-choice questions
While ISAAC curates thousands of multiple-choice practice questions via assignments in your PSP, sometimes you want to do a little more practice in areas in which you feel a little less confident. That’s where the MCQ Practice Bank comes in.
The MCQ Practice Bank contains 3000+ multiple-choice questions, above and beyond the questions ISAAC assigns in your PSP.
Select the specific subjects and sub-topics you’d like to study, the number of questions you’d like to answer, the type of questions you’d like to answer (MBE or black-letter), and the format you’d like to encounter (answer explanations immediately after each question or all presented at the end).

MBE Final Prep
In select BARBRI Bar Review options, ISAAC assigns an MBE Final Prep comprised of 100 MBE questions recently released by the NCBE. ISAAC has carefully selected the 100 questions that best align with the areas of the law that are most likely to be tested on your exam, so you continue to focus on the areas that matter most while being exposed to "real”, released MBE questions.
The NCBE released questions include explanatory answers. The explanatory answers, written by BARBRI subject matter experts, help you understand why answer options were correct or incorrect so you continue to learn and build knowledge from each multiple-choice question you encounter.

Supplemental access to NCBE released questions
While we don’t recommend spending too much time with MBE questions released by the National Conference of Bar Examiners (NCBE) outside of ISAAC’s recommendations, some students feel a little more confident knowing that they’ve had the opportunity to work more “real” MBE questions .
That’s why, with select BARBRI Bar Review options, we provide access to Multistate Edge. Multistate Edge is a supplemental multiple-choice question bank containing hundreds of multiple-choice MBE questions released by the National Conference of Bar Examiners (NCBE) plus exclusive final review lectures.
All multiple-choice questions in Multistate Edge include explanatory answers, which are not always provided by the bar examiners. The explanatory answers, written by BARBRI subject matter experts, help you understand why answer options were correct or incorrect. Reviewing expert explanatory answers helps you learn and build knowledge from each multiple-choice question you encounter.
