The bar exam is unlike any other test and it’s arguably the most important one you’ll take in your lifetime. Wouldn’t it be great to walk into the exam with the confidence that you are going to pass, the first time? BARBRI students are best equipped to perform at the highest levels on exam day.
In all of the studies conducted by our data scientists of pass rates reported by every ABA accredited law school, in every jurisdiction across the United States, it remains clear. BARBRI students achieve a higher average score on the bar exam than students using any other bar prep course*.
The numbers really speak volumes. For example, students who prepare with BARBRI Bar Review have been shown to score an average of 19 points higher on their bar exam. That’s 19 points above the passing mark based on studies of actual bar exam scores from students in UBE states.
Better Prep, Better Score
Our in-house data scientists continually analyze BARBRI student data and work closely with law schools nationwide. Among the tens of thousands of data points gathered, they’ve spotted an eye-opening pattern: Per hour of study, BARBRI students who follow our proven process scored more points on the bar exam compared to non-BARBRI students.
Other studies have shown that all activities assigned during your BARBRI Bar Review course are positively correlated to increased points on the bar exam and, ultimately, bar passage. We’ve spent 50+ years innovating and investing in our methodology so that every minute you spend on BARBRI increases your chances of passing.
This means that students who use BARBRI to prep for the bar are better prepared. It also means that they studied smarter, not harder, with the time that they put into their bar prep.
The True BARBRI Advantage
Here is a closer look at a study. First, we see that students who complete a higher percentage of assignments in their course get a higher average bar exam score. That’s what you’d generally expect.
In the chart below, all the blue dots are BARBRI students and the dotted line represents the relationship between bar review course completion and final bar exam score. The dotted line slopes upward, which means the higher percentage of BARBRI course completion, the better students do on the bar exam. Simple enough.
When we look at the group of bar takers who did not study with BARBRI, we see a similar upward trajectory.
When we combine both BARBRI and non-BARBRI student scores within the graph, it reveals the true BARBRI advantage – when students study with BARBRI, they get more points for their effort.
Confidence in the Cushion
Many who are unsuccessful on the bar exam fail by 10 or fewer points. Wouldn’t you rather go in with the confidence of knowing you’re going to get the most points possible and give yourself the best chance possible?
This is why the majority of graduating law students trust BARBRI with their bar prep every single year. We have more success stories (1.435 million passes) than all other bar companies combined. And because more students choose to prepare with us each year, we have the most accurate insight into how you’ll stack up against other bar takers. Period.
