BARBRI has been a great resource throughout my law school experience. As I prepare to take the MPRE, I can say with confidence that the tools BARBRI provides have made my experience studying much less stressful. I look forward to using BARBRI as my bar prep course!
I used BARBRI only to prepare for the MPRE and absolutely crushed it. I feel so empowered knowing that BARBRI is able to help me learn and absorb the content I’ll need to be able to crush the bar exam too.
I was able to use BARBRI for my bar prep and I passed on my FIRST attempt. Having fulfilled a dream of becoming an attorney (a dream that I’ve had since I was 7 years old) was life-changing. The videos and all of the practice materials were amazingly helpful. I also made sure to do all of the Early Start program prior to starting the program. I also used BARBRI for my MPRE and scored 35 points higher than I needed to! Trying to study for the bar with a 1-year-old was very tough but thanks to BARBRI, I am now officially a Georgia attorney. I look forward to using BARBRI again for the Florida bar.

You don’t need formal bar prep yet, but 2L is the ideal time to build bar‑tested foundations.

Free 2L Exam Success is designed to support law school performance now while strengthening the core knowledge you’ll rely on during bar prep later.
Most law schools continue to grade on a curve, but 2L exams often test deeper analysis, judgment, and writing under pressure. Strong performance depends less on memorization and more on spotting issues, organizing answers clearly, and applying the law precisely, skills that improve with targeted practice and feedback. Using practice exams and structured exam strategies is one of the most reliable ways to stand out.
