If you are disciplined, then any course will be a little redundant with their notorious price. If you are not, Barbri provides a really good structure.
Each day, in addition to lectures and corresponding sections of the
CMR, you will be given 1-2 subjects to review, 50 to 70 multiple
choice questions, 2 to 4 essays to outline/simulate, and 4
PTs (including simulated exam). Barbri will schedule in a few days for you to relax, containing no MC questions or essays, etc. The CMR and MC questions
volumes are good & helpful, but BarBri answers and
feedback on written essays are, like what Regular pointed out, pertty useless.

I would just study myself

Barbri ipod course is known to have god 'flow charts' and ipod lectures (even if it's a little outdated)
Their graded essays are not so great, bad feedback, inconsistent and sometimes inaccurate depends on your luck of which grader you get and a week+ turnaround time frame. The high price and the low support make it infamous at times. Therefore, if you can get all the lectures/flowcharts/study schedule, I think you should just study it on your own.

If you don't have the lectures, then I would consider it if you had problems understanding law by simply reading them. Otherwise, Barbri Ipod really doesn't give you much.
