Take Your Bar Prep Further with the Right Support Tools

No two bar exam journeys look exactly alike. 

Some students feel confident with a structured study plan and a comprehensive core course. Others want additional practice questions, more writing support, expanded study resources, or extra accountability along the way. That's why BARBRI’s bar review programs offer more than just a one-size-fits-all experience. 

BARBRI's approach allows you to start with a strong foundation and then customize your preparation based on your individual goals, learning style, and schedule. We've added resources as enhancements—not necessities—to help address your specific challenges and make your preparation more effective.  

So whether you choose our Premium, Elite, or U.S. Bar Prep (International) course, you know you're building on the same foundation that has guided more than 1.43 million now practicing attorneys on their path to U.S. bar exam success.  

Start with the Course That Fits You 

Before exploring add-ons, it's helpful to understand the role each course option plays. Most students begin by selecting the BARBRI bar prep course that best matches their needs: 

• Premium Bar Review provides our comprehensive core bar prep experience, with opportunities to add supplemental resources and support. It’s intentionally flexible so you can match resources to your individual study needs. 

• Elite Bar Review includes BARBRI’s most popular supplemental study resources while still allowing you to enhance your experience with additional support options like coaching and extended access if desired.  

• U.S. Bar Prep (International) is designed for part-time and LL.M. students, international candidates, and working professionals seeking a longer preparation timeline and additional support. It includes extended access and individualized guidance as part of the program.

Bar Prep Add-On Resources Explained 

AdaptiBar MCQ Simulator 

Available to add to Premium Bar Review. Included in Elite Bar Review and U.S. Bar Prep (International). 

Multiple-choice questions are a major component of bar exam preparation. The AdaptiBar MCQ Simulator provides additional practice opportunities through a targeted question-based learning experience. 

This resource may be particularly helpful if you: 

• Learn best by answering questions 

• Want additional multiple-choice practice 

• Are focused on improving question pacing 

• Prefer identifying weaknesses through repeated testing 

Students who find themselves saying, "I need more practice questions," often gravitate toward this resource. 

AdaptiBar Writing Guide 

Available to add to Premium Bar Review. Included in Elite Bar Review and U.S. Bar Prep (International). 

Knowing the law and communicating it effectively are two different skills. The AdaptiBar Writing Guide offers enhanced support for written portions of the bar exam, helping you strengthen your organization, analysis, and exam writing techniques. 

This option may be a good fit if you: 

• Feel less confident about essays 

• Want additional writing structure 

• Need help developing consistent exam-writing habits 

• Learn best through guided examples and writing frameworks 

CriticalPass Cards 

Available to add to Premium Bar Review. Included in Elite Bar Review and U.S. Bar Prep (International). 

Some students retain information best through repetition and active recall. CriticalPass Cards provide a portable way to review highly tested rules and concepts, making them especially useful during short study sessions or final review periods. 

These may be particularly valuable if you: 

• Like flashcard-based learning 

• Frequently study on the go 

• Want quick review opportunities between larger study sessions 

• Need additional memorization support 

Flashcards can become a useful part of a daily review routine if you are accustomed to reviewing condensed rule statements. 

Quimbee SideBar Videos 

Available to add to Premium Bar Review. Included in Elite Bar Review and U.S. Bar Prep (International). 

Everyone absorbs information differently. Quimbee SideBar Videos offer an additional video-based learning format that can reinforce difficult topics and provide alternative explanations and perspectives. 

These videos may be useful if you: 

• Prefer visual learning 

• Want additional subject-matter explanations 

• Benefit from hearing concepts explained in different ways 

• Like mixing lecture content with shorter supplemental videos 

6-Month Extended Access 

Available to add to Premium Bar Review and Elite Bar Review. Included in U.S. Bar Prep (International), in addition to a 10-month access option. 

All BARBRI Bar Review courses are available four months prior to the bar exam. However, we also recognize that some students want additional time without the need for additional resources. Our Extended Access increases course availability to a total of six months, creating more flexibility to begin studying earlier, study around work or other commitments, go at a slower pace, take advantage of additional review time before exam day. 

Rather than compressing preparation into a shorter timeline, Extended Access allows you to spread your studies across a broader schedule. 

Coach-Led Strategy Sessions 

Available to add to Premium Bar Review and Elite Bar Review. Included in U.S. Bar Prep (International). 

Sometimes the most valuable resource isn't another study aid; it's expert guidance.  Coach-Led Strategy Sessions provide a point of accountability and strategic support throughout bar prep. 

You may benefit from coaching if you: 

• Need help creating effective, consistent study habits 

• Want outside accountability 

• Feel overwhelmed by the volume of material 

• Need help adjusting your study strategy 

Even students with extensive study resources may benefit from personalized guidance. 

Coach-led Strategy Sessions can help you stay accountable, remain focused, and better navigate challenges throughout your bar prep journey. Coaching often provides confidence as much as it provides direction. Think of it as support for the process, while study resources support the content. 

Specialized Support for US Bar Prep (International) 

International candidates often face unique challenges when preparing for a U.S. bar exam. That's why BARBRI U.S. Bar Prep (International) includes enhanced support designed specifically for candidates studying from outside the United States, LL.M. students, and working professionals.  

6- or 10-Month Extended Access 

Included with U.S. Bar Prep (International). 

Unlike traditional bar review timelines, U.S. Bar Prep (International) students can select either a six-month or ten-month study schedule. This added flexibility helps accommodate professional commitments, academic schedules, and the additional learning curve that may come with studying U.S. law.  

1:1 Mentorship + Coaching 

Included with U.S. Bar Prep (International). 

Candidates who enroll in this course receive one-on-one attorney mentor support and coaching resources designed to guide them throughout their preparation journey.  

This level of support can be especially valuable for students who are new to the U.S. legal system, are studying while working full-time, or are navigating bar eligibility requirements
