Yes, BARBRI Bar Review is designed to prepare students to pass the bar in all U.S. states and jurisdictions. If state-specific content is tested on your bar exam, it is covered in your course.

Beginning around September for the following winter and summer BARBRI Bar Review course, you can start working with BARBRI Early Start. Early Start allows you to build key bar exam skills and knowledge early through Immersion workshops such as MBE Immersion and Essay Immersion.
Plan on spending approximately 40 hours per week over 8-10 weeks studying for the bar exam. During the few weeks of bar prep, treat your studies like you would treat a new, important job.
If you are studying full-time (40-50 hours per week), you should start studying a minimum of nine weeks ahead of the exam date, according to National Jurist.
While plenty of students do very well by focusing on their BARBRI Bar Review course over 8-10 weeks, we have found that those who engage with BARBRI Early Start before the course begins are statistically more likely to pass the bar exam the first time. Even just a little work can make a big difference.

The short answer is that there is no predetermined amount of time. As each student is a unique individual, so is the length of study time. Most students can benefit from 6-8 weeks of full-time study for the exam.
DecemberWhen should I start studying for the February bar exam after failing the July bar exam? Typically, we recommend students start studying in December. This is especially the case: if you work full time or have other full-time obligations.
The typical recommendation is that you spend a total of roughly 400 hours studying for the bar exam. If you are studying for the recommended minimum of nine weeks, that means 40 to 50 hours per week.
Bottom Line. Whether Themis or BARBRI is best for you depends on your individual situation and study style. BARBRI may be best for students who: Want a robust offering of materials.
Yes, absolutely. In fact, Barbri is set up to be MORE than enough (i.e. more than you should reasonably be able to do - they even TELL you that). They say that if you are doing about 75% of what they assign, you're doing enough. Towards the end, you figure out your weak spots and focus on those anyway.
The vast majority of substantive information will be covered within the first 75% of the course, therefore, in order to be well prepared you should aim to complete at least 70-75%. Completing 75% of Barbri is a good indicator that you put in the hard work but it is not a guarantee of success on the Bar.
BARBRI is simply better, data proves it. For the same amount of effort, BARBRI students get more points on their bar exam than those who took another prep course. More points, less work.
First, let’s look at this sample data of bar scores from students at a law school. This graph shows the obvious — the more work you complete, the higher score you'll achieve. The blue dots represent BARBRI students. Slide 2. More points for the same effort.

During BARBRI Bar Review, ISAAC assigns more than 7.5 million learning activities. Don’t worry, that’s not for an individual student. That covers the tens of thousands of students studying for the bar exam with BARBRI.
BARBRI students score up to 25 more points on average compared to students who take another bar prep course. Just choosing to prepare with BARBRI provides a significant advantage.
From California to New York, Barbri is the only program that prepares students in all states for both the MBE and the state section of the exam. Many students appreciate not having to generate their own state outlines. The course emphasizes state material that may not have been covered in law school classes. Most law students have not taken every subject that is tested on the bar exam in school, so Barbri familiarizes students with the local law that is tested in their state.
Traditional learners who want guidance and the deep knowledge that comes from detailed lectures, homework, and a lot of practice will find this course meets that requirement. Those who want to attend in-class video lectures with their friends or to hold themselves accountable will also benefit.
I'm signed up to take Barbri online to prep for the 2017 TX Bar Exam. The course "officially" starts on 05/20. That seems really early. I don't even graduate until later in May. And then I have to move across the country.

I have to agree I think its crazy to wait until mid June to start. I too am moving several states away, albeit without a kid and spouse but I arranged everything months ahead of time so nothing would get in the way of my studying. Barbri for me starts on the 18th, which is the same day as my graduation so I am starting 3 days later.

Hopefully this isn't too late for anyone but I just got a call from Examsoft and they had to go in and reupload one of my answer files because my jurisdiction couldn't grade it. I had received the confirmation and everything on exam day, so I had no idea there was an issue until now. Keep everything until you have your score!!
Don't know if I passed the bar, and now I'm not even sure that I want to pass the bar. I am miserable at my job.
Is it normal to feel like you suck as a law clerk? Just started at a new firm doing complex civil litigation and I feel like I spend all day chasing the ball
Just some simple math. There were 10,000 test takers for the July 2021 bar exam which means there is 120,000 (10,000*12) hours of footage of examinees. For comparison, there are only 8,760 hours in a year.
