| Re: Bar Passer and PMBR
Here's what I found on jdjinx.com: Quote:
i too have the same dilemma, so i phoned barbri this morning. the rep actually gave an unbiased opinion, stating that both programs offer essentially the same materials and both will provide you with the law you need to pass the exam. she said that it is a matter of what your style of learning is and recommends that visual learners go with barpassers. i asked her if the lecturers are comparable. she said that while she believes barbri has the "best in the business," but then again, she thinks that a barpassers rep would say the same with regard to their own professors. ultimately, this is a personal decision. do you excel suing flowcharts to map your analysis??
if 95% of the market share belongs to barbri, then 95% of exam takers are going to know the same tricks and techniques. if 95% of test takers are going to miss the same question/issues, then it is more than likely that the majority of missed questions will be omitted anyway. i think barbri is the safe choice.

So I called BarPassers to get their take on things. They pretty much said the same thing: those who worked with Emanuel's or Gilbert's and are better with learning blackletter law by outlines, should go with BarBri. He said BarPassers is designed for visual learners. They also cater more to those who need flexibility - with the option to either attend classes, listen to lectures via an ipod, or do both. However, their tutorial options includes an early-start, meaning you start preparing now! Here's another thing to consider: they offer UNLIMITED one-on-one sessions with a tutor during the week. So, if they are essentially the same with the materials they provide... why not go with the luxury of having a more personalized approach with your very own tutor who can easily track your progress and provide personalized instruction, tips, and feedback. BarBri is the safe choice, but BarPassers is the "more bang for your buck" choice.
| Both present interesting arguments. More for your money or safety in numbers????????? |
