Re: ca bar exam tutor: paul pfau, Vivian Dempsey, and Steve from Bar Perfect

I vote for Paul Pfau

Reasons:

Paul Pfau:
Just about everything that you need to know about how to pass the bar can be conveyed in about three hours of lectures. After that it's really just practice and feedback from the tutor to keep your eye on the ball.

My experience is that most people who fail the bar again, don't resolve themselves to practice sufficiently, once they are advised on what to do. Then, they blame the failure on the tutor. And, to some extent that's justified, because part of what a tutor should do is motivate you to practice.

Ultimately, however, it's up to the student to do the work. If you don't, then someone else will, and they will pass and you will not.

Steve from Bar Perfect:
Price is too high because you basically just practice in his office.. of course he gives you feedback and stuff, but it is not worth the money in my opinion.

Vivian Dempsey:
I heard that Vivian's essay approach is great, but her PT approach was confusing and didn't work for some people....you pretty much knew 90% of what she is going to tell you. know the law the bar tests on..

I think the $4000 price tag was not worth it....
