   JD Advising is simply one of the BEST companies when it comes to Bar prep. However, in order to give credence to my claim it is necessary to provide a bit of background context.

   I am a foreign-educated attorney, who was recently admitted in the State of NY. Additionally, I completed an American LL.M. The importance of these aspects becomes apparent below.

   I first discovered JD Advising when I was busy preparing for the MPRE in 2021. Almost all of the companies offer these courses for free, so it can be overwhelming deciding which one, or ones, to pick. I went with JD Advising for very simple reasons: 1) manageable, bite-size lectures to understand the law; and 2) concise, colorful, and informative outlines. I passed the MPRE on my first attempt, and I can honestly say that JD Advising was massively important in making that happen.

   When it came time to deciding on a company for the UBE, it was a no-brainer for me – I knew what JD Advising offered in terms of outlines, and I enjoyed the platform from which their courses were delivered. Another underrated aspect is their tiered pricing points: while the more premium options offer greater, and more in-depth, package offerings, their On-Demand option is tremendous value, often selling on special, and allows you to be fully in control of your own studying. This aspect appealed to me and is the option I picked when preparing for the July 2022 exam. JD Advising also offers previews to allow you to get familiar with their content and course layout. This is a great option so that you can see whether you will enjoy learning from their outlines (sidenote: their outlines are phenomenal and are routinely illegally shared on Reddit, for what it’s worth, this should point to the demand for them).

   Foreign examinees face a litany of challenges in writing the exam, from language, to travel, and being in a foreign place. The recurrently abysmal passing rates point to this. One of the main reasons for this is the sheer content of learning unknown subjects in an unknown legal system. For example, across the entirety of my LL.M. I only studied three of the 12/14 subjects tested on the MEE, and only one of which was on the MBE. I had to learn in 11 weeks what some other examinees had covered across three years.

   Spoiler alert: I passed on my first attempt and was able to obtain a passing score in any UBE jurisdiction.

   While a lot of that comes down to personal work ethic, JD Advising was absolutely instrumental in helping me pass, and it comes down to their fine-tuning of every aspect of their Bar prep course. The core theme of JD Advising’s approach to Bar prep is deceptively simple: 1) Learn the law; 2) Memorize the law; and 3) Apply/Practice the law. Everything within any offered course is tailored with this in mind, and it really helps to give you a roadmap for your own studies. Their outlines are colorful, concise, and structured to match up with the NCBE’s subject outlines, this helps to guide your studying and to help you locate yourself within any given topic. Also, the outlines are not hundreds of pages, which instantly helps with your motivation to memorize all of the content. Additionally, the lecture videos for any subject are always split up into smaller, more manageable, sections, this really helps to ward off fatigue, and to ensure that ample time is left for memorization and practice. Study schedules are prepared and populated depending on your chosen start date; additional tips, tricks, webinars, and life advice are offered to help you along your studying journey; incentives (like free courses and notes) are offered periodically to ensure that you are on top of your practice essays and questions; and every essay, MPT and MBE question is taken from released questions. It cannot be understated how important this is, as I wrote the Bar exam, 1) not feeling rushed for time as I had been doing time-conditioned essays for weeks; and 2) that the difficulty level of the questions matched what I had been exposed to (although there will always be those outliers). For the price, the sheer-volume and value of the On-Demand course cannot be stressed enough, and it is a fantastic addition to any examinee’s toolbox.

   Lastly, JD Advising is made up of incredible humans who have a genuine and sincere passion for helping you reach your Bar goals. Heather and Meagan are engaging lecturers, who have a gift for conveying the nuances of the law, explaining the rationale for why certain principles exist, and stressing tricks and tips to help you manage your studying. Having spent hours of lectures with them, I feel like I know them, and that is truly a testament to their ability to have me locked-in and laser-focused throughout all of the videos. Rosie, who you will presumably interact with if you have any queries, is a gem of a soul who made numerous accommodations as I sought to plan and pay for my Bar prep course. She also offered me tangible and helpful advice as it related to traveling to America, and how to best situate my mindset to write the exam.

   Simply put, JD Advising was a “necessary party” to me passing the Bar exam, and while they may not carry the clout of the bigger prep companies, they are without a doubt the best choice for not only preparing for, but conquering the Bar exam.

   KES – February 2023 Premium Course Student – April 17, 2023

   I am so grateful to have taken the Premium UBE course instructed by Meagan, Lisa, and Heather. Heather truly re-shaped my strategy and approach to the MPT. (She has a free MPT seminar I highly recommend!). The amount of multiple choice practice with actual bar exam questions drastically improved my MBE score. The MEE Outlines and One-sheets were critical to improving my essay responses.

   For the July 2022 UBE, I used Barbri to study and while it gave the big picture overviews of the subjects, my exam score was only 266 (not enough to pass in NC which requires 270). I decided that I needed to really focus in and get a plan that would help me improve both multiple choice and essays. After taking the JD Advising UBE Premium Course, I passed the February 2023 exam with a UBE score of 307!!!! JD Advising helped me boost my overall score 41 points, which is absolutely incredible.

   I wanted to reach out to share my high level of satisfaction with JD Advising, specifically the On-Demand Bar Prep Course. I sat for the Michigan Bar Exam in July 2022, and am happy to say that I passed! Although it is easy to be satisfied with a bar prep company upon receiving positive exam results, I have to say I became impressed with the course very early in my study process.

   I chose JD Advising, specifically your On-Demand prep course, because it was the best option for my budget compared to all other options out there. The on-demand aspect also appealed to me greatly, because I was dealing with some serious health issues at the time that made it impossible to guarantee I could follow a set study/course schedule. I ended up very impressed with the quality of the lectures. The instruction was clear and concise, and the length and organization of the modules worked well for me. The JD Advising Outlines and one-sheets were amazing memorization tools, and the outlines were wonderful for following along with the lectures.

   I am very happy with the experience (and result) of the JD Advising On-Demand Course, and have been sure to point my friends your way!

   Thank you!!!

   I usually don’t leave reviews BUT I cannot rave enough about JD Advising. This course came highly recommended by a friend, another repeat-taker. I passed the NYS Bar for the third time with 10 points over the passing score – the tears still stream down! Having studied with Bar Prep materials from other companies, the JD ADVISING UBE Course is PHENOMENAL!!! The outlines are precise, nuanced yet not overwhelming compared to others. The 2 course instructors, Meagan and Heather are AMAZING – their lectures are engaging and just so well structured. The entire course strikes a results-driven balance between not being overwhelming yet extracting key information to understand and memorize. Also, Heather’s approach to the MPT is spot on!!! Check out her free MPT webinar. After consistently following her advice and tips, I was able to understand key strategies to gain points while delivering a cohesive finished product. The fact that this course is SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper than other companies and delivers RESULTS if you put in the work, demonstrates they are motivated by integrity and a genuine desire for their clients to achieve their goals – whether as a first-time taker or repeat-taker. The entire team goes above and beyond – Hannah was such a pleasure to deal with. She was always there to answer my questions promptly and thoroughly. THANK YOU JD ADVISING!!!

   I’m very thankful to JD advising for giving me the tools to pass the BAR exam. The materials were top notch and all the tips and tricks helped immensely. I also purchased one-on-one coaching and my instructor was Jonathan Demers. He was an amazing instructor who spent time tailoring lessons to my needs and explaining things I was confused about. If you feel as though you’d like personalized lessons and someone to bounce ideas off, the extra money for the coaching is definitely worth it. Thanks again Jonathan and JD Advising, will recommend to everyone.
