Review Courses

What is your pass rate?
 

We do not publish a pass rate percentage because, due to limitations in obtaining test information, any "pass rate" would be potentially inaccurate.  If you receive information regarding a bar review program's pass rate, be skeptical.  Determine exactly how that "pass rate" is calculated.  Due to limitations on receiving information on who ultimately took and passed the exam, any pass rate percentage could potentially be inaccurate and misleading.  In a recent survey sent to our bar review students enrolled in our complete review course for the most recent exam administration, 100% of respondents indicated that they would recommend the program to a friend. We are proud of this statistic and endeavor to meet the needs of every student.

 
When do classes begin?

Our program is a home study course.  Therefore, there are no scheduled classes to attend.  Students begin and progress through the program at their own pace.

 
Can I return the materials?

Yes.  We know how important it is to be comfortable with your bar review materials.  Therefore, we provide students with a no-questions-asked inspection period.  You may inspect our materials for 4 days from the date you receive them.  If you do not wish to keep the materials for any reason, you may return them for a full refund, less shipping costs and a 12.5% restocking fee.  Any returned materials must be in unused and unmarked condition only.

 
Do you have a guarantee?

We have a retake guarantee policy for our complete review course and essay master course.  If you purchase the complete review course or the essay master course, you are eligible.  If you sit for the bar exam, and do not pass the exam, you will receive one free retake. You must inform AmeriBar that you did not pass the exam within 10 days of being notified of the results.  Within the same time limit, you must also provide AmeriBar with a copy or fax of the notification letter from the Board of Law Examiners.

 
Can I postpone my enrollment?

Yes, one time, if you notify us regarding your intent to postpone your enrollment to another exam administration.

 
Is the course state-specific?

If we offer a complete home study course for a jurisdiction, then the course will be state-specific unless the bar examiners have indicated that essay questions are to be answered according to general legal principles, not the law of the jurisdiction.  In some states, the examiners have indicated that questions testing certain enumerated subjects should be answered according to state law, while others should be answered according to general legal principles.  In these states, we follow the direction of the examiners and provide state-specific law for these subjects.

 
How does AmeriBar's course differ from other review courses?

Our course differs from other review courses in many respects.  Our outlines and lectures are focused on testability.  Therefore, you will spend your study time more efficiently.  Additionally, if you enroll in the essay or full course, you will receive lectures covering essay writing and study strategy.  They are based on our highly acclaimed tutoring program.  You will also receive access to audio reviews of essay and writing drills.  Additionally, we are the least expensive full service bar review course that we are aware of.  Here are some of the ways past students said that AmeriBar is different from other review courses:

 

"The lectures were concise and focused on the important points, which allowed me to learn the new areas of law with the least effort, and efficiently refresh my memory on the other areas."

 

"This is a good course for students who have the ability to study independently."
 

"I was glad to find this review to help me prepare for the exam and refresh my
memory . . . at a price that did not break the bank."
 

"I'm glad to have taken your program. I feel the course adequately prepared me
to take and pass the [bar exam]. It goes to show that you don't need to spend over $2,000
for a bar review course if you have the ability to focus and follow through on independent study."
 

"I love your course. I've recommended it to several other students, and I will continue to recommend it."

 
"[The course is] more condensed and focused on the basics of the black letter
law, and on helping students develop a test writing strategy."

"I really liked it when the instructor did more than teach the subject as it would be taught in law school. I liked when they gave tips about the way questions on previous tests were handled and advice for choosing the right answer if the question was confusing."

 

Can I hear a sample of an audio lecture from the Essay Master Course?

Of course you can.  Click here to launch the sample.

 

Can I hear a sample of an audio lecture or view sample pages of an outline from the MBE course?
Yes you can.
Which course option should I sign up for?

It depends.  In every state, the bar exam consists of several different components including the MBE, an essay exam, and in some states, the performance test.  You can sign up for a complete course, which covers all of the portions of the bar exam, or a partial course, which covers one or more parts of the exam.

Can I contact someone if I have any questions?

Yes you can.  If you have any questions regarding the course or the law, please contact our offices for assistance.

 
Is the course Apple/Mac compatible?

No.  None of the online components of our courses are currently compatible with Apple computers.

Can I access the online lectures with a dial-up internet connection?

No.  We recommend that you use a high-speed internet connection (at least 256 KBPS).

iPod Lectures

Please tell me more about the Apple iPod option for lectures.

AmeriBar can provide you with an Apple iPod so that you can listen to the audio lectures without being tied to your computer.  iPod lectures are available as an upgrade from standard online audio lectures.  They are available for all portions of the bar exam course (MBE, Essay, and MPT). 

 

How much does the upgrade to iPod lectures cost?

The upgrade for iPod audio lectures is $279.   You will also be charged an additional $200 refundable deposit. The deposit is refunded when you return the iPod to AmeriBar in good working order within thirty days from the date of the exam.

 

Can I keep the iPod?
 

You can keep the iPod.  However, if you keep the iPod, you will not receive your deposit.  You must also remove the lectures from the iPod.

Are there any restrictions on use of the lectures?
 

Yes, limitations exist for iPod lectures, as with all of our lectures.  The lectures are licensed to the enrolling student.  The lectures and iPod are the property of AmeriBar. The lectures cannot be shared with anyone.  The lectures cannot be played for others.  The lectures cannot be downloaded to a computer.  The lectures cannot be recorded or transcribed.  The lectures are and remain the intellectual property of AmeriBar.  By purchasing the iPod upgrade, a student receives a personal, non-transferable, license to use the lecture to prepare for the bar exam for one course administration.  If the student elects to keep the iPod after the exam, the lectures must be deleted from the iPod.

How do I return the iPod to get my deposit back?
 

Send the iPod and the charging cable in a padded envelope to AmeriBar Returns, 2809 South Shamrock Street, Tallahassee, Florida, 32309.  Be sure to include your contact information.  If the iPod is in good working condition, the deposit will be refunded to your credit card.  If the refund attempt is unsuccessful, we will send a check for the deposit amount to your address on file, unless you specify otherwise.
