Thread: Why is Barbri not starting their New York bar exam review until Jan 2, 2008???

I don't understand. Everyone here says that the best time to start preparing for your bar exam is about 2 or 3 months, but Barbri is not starting their class until Jan????

And people are paying the same amount of money for video classes in Barbri?????? Please tell me if that's really more useful than those cheaper online classes? why shouldn't I just buy videos off ebay and study on my own???

Actually, Barbri starts about 6 weeks before the bar. So, they are starting the same amount of time in advance for the February bar as they would be for the July bar. You have plenty of time to study. And, if you get your materials early, then you can start practicing essays early too! I would suggest to spend as much time practicing as you can!
