Don't take NBR!!!!

I did the National Bar Review and did not pass. First, they tell you that someone will work with you one on one six to eight hours a day. They represented to me that they specialized in the MBE and that my tutor would do about 100 MBE's a day with my tutor so that he could tell me what I was doing wrong and show me an approach that would work specifically for me.

When I met my tutor I learned that he had just passed the bar after having taken it seven times. During the three months I took off of work I met with him one on one approximately 15 times for at most three hours a day. I had talked my employer into paying for this course for me which I was told could be broken down into payments so long as the final payment was made before the bar exam. By the time my last payment was due it was a week before the bar exam. Also during the week before the exam my employers brother died expectantly. causing him to go back to NY. That stupid place called me every day several times a day during the most stressful time of my life about a $1000 payment that I did not have as I had gone three months without a paycheck. They left terrible messages for me which included threats of reporting me to the bar despite the fact that it was my boss that signed the contract. This continued up and through the bar exam. The week following the bar exam my boss wrote a check for the final balance but of course the damage had already been done. In short, don't waste your money on this bar class.

They don't teach you well, then they don't call you back

I didn't pass. I am a repeat taker. Scores were never so low. He sucks you in, because you are desperate and don't know what else to do. he takes advantage of your weakness, encourages you and says : great, continue to write like this, this is great!...

When you fail, you call him. He has his admin, email you: will call
you tomorrow to discuss your scores... like that for a total week.
NEVER calls you back.
