BARBRI Reviews 

A really well structured course with clear material. I really enjoyed the inclusion of daily tasks and ability to edit your study plan so easily. It made it really easy to just get on with studying and to follow the course, rather than feeling overwhelmed and wondering where to start.

Barbri do a really good job with giving you the information you need to pass the exam.

BARBRI has served me well each time I’ve sat for a bar or solicitor’s exam. The course is well structured, but flexible enough to adapt to the life of a working professional. The BARBRI professors are knowledgeable, practical, and strategic, so you understand the key concepts and where to focus your studies.

The advice "trust the process" was very much to the point. Following the barbri process was the safest path to success.

I liked the pace of the program and that I could skip or remove things that I had already done. It was easy to jump ahead when I needed to. The program needs to integrate better AI though, I didn't feel like it targeted my weak points enough. I also think some of the questions, especially near the end, got way too niche and made me feel worse about my understanding and ability than better. Additionally, having to pay for Adaptibar separately, which is what really got me to pass the MBE portion, feels like a rip off when Themis has UWorld integrated.

Straightforward interface and thorough curriculum. I thought the grading was sometimes a little too difficult, but my overall experience remained solid.

I enjoyed the videos, although I think it would be helpful to include more required questions. The most recent exam seemed to cover more niche topics than the general topics that were focused on.

I think Barbri is the gold standard for Bar Prep. The website works well and is easy to navigate as well as the app counterparts. I wish adaptibar was included in Barbri because frankly there would be no other reason to not go with Barbri. As a student a big selling point for Themis is the QBank being included. The lectures were decent for the most part. However, my main complaint is that the course companion is a little janky. I also would prefer longer videos if it meant covering more of the greyed out text since that content is still important, as most if not all of the essays for July 2026 had rarely tested components. If not longer videos, then more emphasis or specially set aside time in the PSP for reading/studying the greyed out portions. The feedback from an actual person on essays and MPTs were extremely helpful instead of AI feedback like other companies. The multiple choice sim was great as well as the post review videos. I wish we could have had the written sim exam graded by graders too.

I was expecting a little more from BarBri. I learned a lot but was slightly disappointed with my experience.

Get rid of the introductory videos or tell students flat out that they shouldn’t waste time taking notes on it.

Also—- NEED CRIM PRO ALFORD PLEAS covered for bar prep. Was completely lacking.

It was awesome!

You all made great updates to the system especially for ppl with learning disabilities. I like the break down of small videos for intro information and then the larger one later

I felt like the lectures prepared me decently, the essays however constantly lagged on me when typing, making it hard to simulate testing conditions and maintain flow of thought

Nerissa was supportive, clear, comprehensive and lovely (and very very patient…). It made a potentially confusing and frustrating process very manageable. Thank you!

Organized, quality materials, quality video production, effective.

I used BARBRI in 2022 and got a 247. I used BARBRI this year and jumped my score over 40 pts. I made some other study changes but the videos being in shorter increments with practice built in is VERY helpful for us adhd addled bar takers. I think in the initial tour the Multiple database and its functions should be explained better because once you understand it it’s very useful.

I thought the prep material and lectures were of high quality and mostly targeted. However, there is a lot of potential paths for studying and using supplements, and I do not feel much direction was given on how to use everything effectively together.

The PSP and the ability to tailor that to what I needed was the best part of the Barbri experience. I also appreciated the Foundation videos; however, the Deep Dive got a little overwhelming, and some of the teachers were confusing. I wish I had not spent as much time there as I did. The Final Review, however, really helped me pull everything together. I also appreciated the essay practice and the feedback from the reviewers. Finally, the ability to use the Adaptibar MCQ, I think helped me the most, since the questions there were closest to what the actual exam was like.

I had a really good experience with the BARBRI course. The materials were clear, well structured and really helpful throughout my studies. I also found the support available to be great, particularly from Joanne White, who was always so helpful, friendly and quick to respond whenever I had any questions. She really made the whole process feel much easier and was a great support throughout.

The only thing I would say is that I found the SQE1 website easier to navigate and better laid out than the SQE2 platform, but overall I was really happy with the course and the support I received. I would definitely recommend BARBRI to anyone preparing for the SQE.

The Barbri product is good, in that the on line lectures and the supporting printed materials are first class. I would say that some of the practice questions, whilst providing valuable learning, do not represent the toughness of the questions in the actual exam. The quality of the student services team I found varied, from extremely helpful on occasions, to sometimes quite patronising. As an older student I sensed an irritation with me perhaps not being as adept as younger students would be with technology issues. I also felt that some answers to my questions looked as though they were written by bots, or perhaps the agents were using too much AI to answer them. Nevertheless, it is a good product although do bear in mind that the test quizzes aren't necessarily representative of what comes in the exams. I give 4 stars, would have been 5 but for the hiccups with the student services team
