If you do not have any, we will cover the most highly tested and difficult topics for the subject(s) you are interested in discussing.

I highly recommend working with Ambika Mehta and the JD Advising team. Their outlines are fantastic and exactly what you need to prepare for the bar exam: concise, to the point, without unnecessary explanations. I used another course in the beginning and felt overwhelmed with the volume of outlines and the unrealistic study schedule. JD Advising provides you with just one booklet of material per topic that is sufficient to prepare you both for the MBE and/or the MEE portion of the exam. For the areas that I felt I needed more help with, I worked with Ambika who’s fantastic at patiently breaking down complicated concepts until you feel confident about that topic. She’s also accessible via email and answers questions as needed. For me, Ambika was more than a tutor. Throughout the process she became a genuine friend. I was able to call her when I felt overwhelmed and she always patiently listened and genuinely tried to make me feel positive again. Working with Ambika, I saw a substantial difference in my scores after each tutorial session. Ambika also provided me with a realistic and flexible study plan tailored to my needs and weakness/strengths. She’s incredibly professional, caring, and knows the bar exam and the topics inside out. My score increased by 38 points! I can’t say enough good words about working with Ambika!! I’m very happy that I chose to work with Ambika and JD Advising and I highly recommend them to anyone preparing for the bar exam.

After failing the July 2019 NY Bar Exam, a friend recommended I use JD Advising for private tutoring sessions. After only minutes into my first tutoring session with Ambika, it was evident that she was going to be a tremendous help. Ambika not only helped me understand the substantive law but also provided me with various “tips and tricks” that were important to my success on both the essays and the MBE. She also made my studying efficient by explaining what topics within each area of the law were the more heavily tested topics. Ambika was also extremely accommodating with respect to my schedule, and always promptly responded to my email questions (of which there were many!). The results speak for themselves: the first time I sat for the bar exam, in July 2019, I scored a failing 256. The second time I sat for the bar exam, in February 2020, and after working with Ambika, I scored a 297 (an increase of 41 points!) My score is beyond passing in every UBE jurisdiction. I would highly recommend working with Ambika to both first-time and repeat bar exam takers. I couldn’t have done this without her.

I wish I knew JD Advising earlier and took their private tutor sections for the first time around. As a foreign lawyer who only took 2 years of law school in the U.S, I struggled with the standardized tests in general and the bar exam in particular. Heather helped me with MPRE and 6 sections of Michigan substantive laws. She was extremely helpful in breaking down the rules for me to understand. I think she has been working with international students for long time so she understood our weakness in knowing the rule in detail. She is knowledgable and calm, which is super helpful to comfort those who are constantly in the panic moods studying for the bar exam. I am an US licensed Attorney now all thank to Heather and JDAdvising. I will share their information with my friends who have the same struggles as mine. They are simply the only thing you need for your bar prep course.

I passed (by a lot) on my third try with Heather’s help. My course and tutor weren’t helping, and I signed up for private tutoring with Heather in the final few weeks. She helped me understand topics like I haven’t before and gave great feedback and insight when grading my essays and answering my questions. I thought the exam was a total bomb, but given the amount that my score went up from my past two attempts, I think Heather must have been the magic that helped me finally get the “success” email.

I HIGHLY recommend Heather Buck and JD Advising for bar preparation assistance. I was lucky enough to have my law school introduce me to JD Advising and assist with the cost (and I highly recommend that everyone reach out to their law school for similar assistance). I took the October 2020 bar in the midst of a worldwide pandemic and just a few months after unexpectedly losing a parent. I initially dreaded the thought of bar prep and had no interest in beginning the journey. I did not begin to enjoy studying until my sessions with Heather. She is so darn AWESOME. Working with Heather was the best part of my bar prep journey. I truly looked forward to our sessions – believe it or not, they were actually fun. Heather was thoughtful in preparing for sessions, attentive to my needs, and made really difficult concepts understandable. She helped with MBE, MEE, and MPT preparation and gave me the skills I need to succeed – not busy work. I was blown away by her knowledge and how easy it was to work with her. No question was ever too dumb and we reviewed things I had a hard time with over and over until I got it. My confidence increased and I actually felt more prepared as time went on. I passed the bar exam on my first try with a score high enough to pass in any UBE jurisdiction.
I sent Heather a personal thank you on the day that I passed the bar (before even telling my best friends and some family members) and applauded her for the incredible work that she does. The bar exam – like many other things in the field of law – is often a barrier to entry for graduates, especially graduates of color. But people like Heather go above and beyond to ensure that all students have the tools necessary to jump over that last hurdle on the first attempt. And that is priceless.
I’d like to wrap up by encouraging anyone who is on the fence to go for it! It is worth every penny. After investing tons of time and money in law school, it’d be silly not to invest fully in your bar prep. To succeed on the first try is such a wonderful feeling. There is nothing like having one-on-one help for the bar and I truly believe it is the secret to passing on the first try. Go for it and good luck!
