I’m Worried I Failed! Can I Reserve a Spot for Tutoring/Courses?

Yes. If you are reading this pre-bar exam, you can reach out to us ASAP for tutoring. If you are reading this post-bar exam, you are still welcome to reserve a spot for one of our courses or services. We also highly recommend our On Demand course which comes with prerecorded lectures and all the same materials as our premium course! We also have private tutoring options by experienced tutors.

*Note, just because you reserve a spot (as your Plan B!) does not mean you will jinx yourself! In fact, most of our students who reserve a with us end up not needing it (even though they are convinced they failed!). Why is this? It is because feelings do not correlate with results! This is is why—even if you are absolutely convinced you failed, you may have indeed passed! Please see this post about how to deal with worrying about bar exam results before they are released!  You are also welcome to call us (248-228-5547) or email us (info@jdadvising.com) if you find you cannot stop worrying.

If you want to come up with your Plan B early, read this post: “I failed the Washington DC bar exam. What should I do?”  Having a Plan B will help relieve anxiety while you wait for results.
