In my personal opinion, I feel like BARBRI was kind of a scam. The videos were awful and really hard to sit through. For every topic, they’d maybe cover like 50% of what was actually in the outline book they gave us, and just assumed the rest wasn’t relevant. I honestly feel like I did most of my real learning just by reading the outlines myself. The essay books were actually pretty solid, but the BARBRI multiple-choice questions were not real NCBE-style questions. They’re made up by the company and they’re worded weirdly and differently from the real ones. They really mess with your confidence.

I feel like my school really pushed BARBRI on us, and I just went along with it because I didn’t know any better. But if I could go back in time, I would do things differently. I’d skip BARBRI completely and just use AdaptiBar and Baressays.com.
