Rating JD Advising with 5 stars because they truly deserve it!
As a repeat taker, I cannot explain the stress – both emotionally and physically that this exam places on you, but I am so thankful that with the help of JD Advising, the experience is behind me, and one I will never have to go through again. I took the exam 3 times and finally passed on my 3rd attempt. The first time, I used a different bar tutoring service, and to be honest it was information overload for a first-time taker and a foreign-trained attorney at that. And so, the second time, I used JD Advising and found their outlines to be well detailed and still very easy to understand and recollect – the outlines helped me truly learn the law.
whilst I didn’t hit the passing score for NY on my second attempt, my score went up by 13 points as their outlines and strategies helped me do even better on the written part of the UBE ( I have always been an above average writer but the essay submissions and feedback helped a lot). However, I focused a lot on the writing aspect and didn’t pay as much attention to the MBEs ( which is where the magic needed to happen for me). For my 3rd attempt, thankfully JD Advising let me use the program again at no extra cost but I did decide on my own to pay for two private tutoring sessions, and I had these sessions with Nicole. I think those few sessions unlocked something within me as pertains to the MBEs particularly. Nicole helped me view them in a way I hadn’t done previously, and shared strategies with me that were really a game changer, and this showed in my results the third time as my MBE score went up by 11 marks, giving me enough room to pass with a score high enough for pretty much all UBE jurisdictions. So grateful to Nicole and the entire JD Advising team! If you’re still on the fence about using JD Advising for your first or next & final attempt, I’m hoping you take the bet on them. You won’t regret it!

As someone who has taken the bar exam twice, I can confidently say that Meagan’s tutoring was a game-changer for me. With her help, I was able to increase my score by 16 points, which allowed me to pass all UBE jurisdictions. What I appreciated most about Meagan’s approach to tutoring was her ability to help me feel more confident in my knowledge while also identifying and filling in any gaps I had. She has an incredible grasp of the law and was able to explain even the most complex concepts in a way that was easy to understand. One of the things I loved about JD Advising was their concise outlines. They were incredibly helpful in allowing me to digest the black letter law in a clear and organized way. Additionally, the crossword puzzles and other activities to help with memorization were incredibly effective, and I truly believe they played a significant role in helping me retain core concepts.Perhaps the best thing about working with Meagan was her positive attitude and supportive nature. As an anxious tester, I always appreciated her willingness to talk through my concerns and help me stay focused on my goals. Overall, I would recommend Meagan to any bar retaker without hesitation. Her tailored approach to tutoring truly made all the difference in my bar prep, and I’m confident it could do the same for others

I took the IL Bar exam twice and improved my score by over 20 points. Caroline’s tutoring was a great add-on to the studying I did on my own. She really took the time to go through all of the random, one-off questions that I had and was great about providing examples and problems to work through. For example, Caroline helped walk me through how to do a mortgage priority problem, something that was not covered in the online course that I had previously taken. In addition, I found JD Advising’s one-page outlines, both for the MBE and MEE topics, to be invaluable. They sent me physical, laminated copies of these and I referred to them CONSTANTLY as I studied and up to exam day. Finally, I really appreciated Caroline’s words of encouragement and all around positive attitude – I really needed that after not passing the first time. Would highly recommend!

Five stars. I highly recommend JD advising for their ability to show students that anybody can pass the bar exam. I did one of the three most famous bar programs on my first try and I am able to compare how JD advising organizes and thoroughly explains each topic so that memorizing everything is a lot easier. Their one-on-one tutoring helped me understand the small nuances I could not comprehend on my own. My tutor, Caroline, would always take the time to explain even the smallest things and showed me how to connect the dots of different concepts. It felt motivating when I finally understood and memorized things. Their tutors genuinely want to help you learn and pass and are very understanding that people learn in different ways. My tutor was very encouraging early on and sessions with her were helpful because that is when I saw my improvement. If you struggled 1L like I did and feared that you would never understand certain concepts, this program will help you learn. As an immigrant who learned English when I moved to this country, I appreciated how JD advising rewrote the black letter law to a basic reading level. I passed on my second try increasing my score by 31 points. I will be recommending JD advising to test takers I encounter!

After not passing the Bar Exam, J.D. Advising helped me get through a stressful and uncertain time. Their outlines were easy to read and understand, and the one-on-one tutoring with Lisa greatly helped reinforce tricky subjects and rebuild my confidence prior to re-taking. Lisa was always encouraging and was available to answer texts about questions I had day and night. Additionally, she was very mindful of finding out what worked for me and then tailoring her tutoring around that.
My previous bar prep program had not used actual UBE questions, so the Q Bank was extremely helpful in raising my awareness of the language used by the Bar Examiners, and helped me hone in on language patterns indicative of certain subjects.
After using J.D. Advising, I passed the Bar Exam with a score of 274, raising my previous score by 22 points. I am ecstatic to be able to close that chapter and officially start my career as an Esquire. 5/5 stars. Thank you, J.D. Advising!
