Bar Prep Programs:

BAR/BRI

The standard in bar prep. The best there is, but also the most expensive. Click here for a full barbri review and comparison with other bar prep options.

THEMIS

A great alternative to the juggernaut Barbri. It’s comprised of former Barbri teachers and is almost 1/3 of the price, with very good pass rates. Click here for a full Themis review and comparison with other bar prep options.

BARMAX

Might be highest published pass rates amongst ALL bar takers, although, if you do your assignments, it appears Themis has a higher pass rate. Also the least expensive.
