BARBRI Bar Review

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.

Learn from the top names in U.S. legal education

Erwin Chemerinsky, Rich Freer, Paula Franzese, Doug Moll, Steve Calandrillo, just to name a few. The most brilliant, engaging and inspiring U.S. law professors legal minds breaking down the concepts that you will most likely encounter on your bar exam.

All interactive lectures are available on-demand, online and via mobile. Lectures are divided into segments to allow you to watch an entire subject straight through and / or revisit specific subjects and subtopics.

You will also actively participate by taking quizzes and completing other learning activities during lectures. You’ll take notes directly in the lecture player with a built-in notepad. You can jump back to specific notes AND that specific point in the lecture at any time. You can also review video transcripts and enable closed captioning at any time.

So, whether you’re the ‘diligent, note-taking for the entire class’ type or the ‘20 minutes then I need a break’ type, the interactive BARBRI lecture experience will ensure you are definitely the ‘Wow, that lecture sure helped me understand that subject and pass the bar’ type.

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:

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.

One-day workshop to reinforce bar exam principles

In select BARBRI Bar Review options, you’ll receive access to the supplemental MBE Mini Review. BARBRI Mini Review is a one-day, eight-hour online workshop.

The workshop provides just a little extra reassurance right before the bar exam. It covers significant aspects of the topics most frequently tested on the Multistate Bar Exam, refines critical MBE principles and reinforces, one last time, core bar exam principles.
