    PMBR

    You know PMBR is a good review, after all they got sued by the National Committee of Bar Examiners. And of course BARBRI is the biggest but may not be the best. If you are a first time taker you need to identify your problem area; low MBE score, you don't know the law; low essay score, you need to improve your writing technique. Before signing with any of the "professors, tutors, teachers, or whatever other name they come up with, make a small investment in a book on essay writing. You will find formats and guidance at a pittance of the cost. Any review course you sign up with is not going to write the exam for you. A lot of them charge a great deal of money for nothing more than for untested methods or for ideaology. They make you feel good but offer little substance.
