Why Beat The Bar.Com?

Our founder failed the bar twice. Remembering the old saying “only a fool does the same thing and expect different results,” she began to contemplate what went wrong. She soon found her answer. The problem was not the study materials, it was the study method. For her, answering large blocks of questions then, going back to correct the answers was not effective. Over the following months she developed a new study method using the same materials. Best of all, this new study method was simple, and much easy to use.

Compare Our Study Method To Others

Let's compare other bar exam study methods to ours. "Their" bar exam study methods (bar-bri, PMBR, MicroMash etc...) have you answer large blocks of  questions at a time, then go back and correct them. This method is time consuming and not very effective in increasing your understanding of the question. You must first consider the question, study the fact pattern, cross your fingers, and take your best shot. Do this 50 times. Then, go back and correct the answers. This requires you to; reconsider the question, revisit your train of thought (which requires more valuable time), and reflect on the correct answer. When your answer is wrong (which it most likely will be) you must expend precious energy trying to reason why. In fact, they even tell you which wrong answer you most likely picked. Repeat this procedure 50 times. At the end of the day; you are mentally and emotionally drained, have studied only 50 bar exam questions, and are no closer to understanding (or remembering) the intent of most questions. They (other bar exam reviews) are in hopes that after repeating this scenario day in and day out that you will, through repetition, memorize the one correct rule as it pertains to this one particular question.

The most important objective is to obtain an understanding of the true intent of each question. Where is the bar examiners thought process leading you? How do you identify all the rabbit trails and buzz words thrown at you? Our bar exam study method takes you through one question at a time, thoroughly dissecting each question and helping you identify the intent. You will rely solely on the bar exam study tools to find the correct answer. There is a rule to be learned for each of the four choices as they pertain to the specific question. Although one or two of the choices are obviously wrong, you can still learn a valuable rule. The end result is, you have learned four rules per question rather than just one. This style also decreases your study time, increases your understanding and discernment of each question, and lowers your stress and anxiety level. Your spouse, kids, family, friends, and cat all benefit.

Our founder Kathy Lowthorp, was a working mother of 4 children. She developed this program as a more efficient way to study for the bar exam. If you are having difficulties juggling work with family and study time, there is no better method. You have spent a ton of money already. Why spend additional money for other methods that are just more of the same? Face it, you have all the bar exam materials you need. What you need now is a more effective way to study them.

More To Consider

BeatTheBar.Com bar exam study tools provide a new approach to learning and retaining the mass amount of information needed to pass the bar. Designed to be placed in front of you, they assist you in answering each bar exam question one at a time. There are six study tools, one for each topic of the multi-state bar exam. Through repetition you acquire the "Black Letter Law" and visualize the bar exam study tools in your minds eye. In effect, you take each study tool with you to the bar exam. It is common knowledge that visual aids increase your ability to retain and recall (memorize) information.

BeatTheBar.Com bar exam study tools are easy to follow, and proceed through a logical progression of thought. Room is provided for your study notes and each tool may be adapted and personalized. You will find this particularly useful if your state's bar exam essay tests on multi-state topics.

How are we different from other bar exam review companies? We do not provide you with more outlines, questions or books. Our bar exam study method shows you how to utilize these materials (bar-bri PMBR, Micro Mash etc...) you already have, in a more efficient way. We offer a bar exam study tool that will change your approach to studying! A wise old Texan once said, " it is better to avoid a mistake, than correct one."

No more learning by trial and error. Our approach assists you in learning the correct answer right from the start. After 30 days of regular use you should be getting a 75% to 85% correct answer ratio. Once this level is obtained you begin to wean yourself from the study tools while maintaining the same performance. During the weaning process you will answer a question without the use of the bar exam study tool only if you know, that you know the answer. Do not guess at it. That only reinforces bad study habits. If you're not sure, grab the appropriate bar exam study tool and look up the correct answer.

Another great benefit is time management. The use of our tools allows you more time to study your state's essay exam. By using Beat The Bar.Com bar exam study tools, you remove a lot of frustrating, unsuccessful attempts when answering multi-state bar exam questions. Therefore, less unplanned time and effort is used trying to improve your score.
