"Your course is awesome!"
"It's a perfect course :-) "
"I think the iPad was great as a resource tool!"
"I was more than satisfied with the course. The interaction was outstanding. When you do commercial courses, it's like you are just a number. With Celebration, you felt attention being given to you. That's the kind of feedback you do not get from the other courses."
"The course is very well rounded, as-is!"
"All the written materials were well organized; the subject matter was thorough and extremely detail-oriented."
"The lectures, incidentally, flat-out rocked! It was great that you provided occasional levity to some very mundane, dry subject matter. Don't change your style!!"
"It feels like this course gives an unfair advantage over fellow big bar review bar takers."
"I really like the course. I feel it's multi-disciplinary (I used the STAR
system) and covers the high points, while keeping it all in proper
perspective."
"I like your system a lot. And I think everyone should purchase your course,
just the advice that you give on essay writing alone is invaluable..."
"Yes, definitely recommend!! I've never had such a positive & uplifting
experience studying for the bar exam. My only regret would be not taking this
course sooner."
"I have a very good feeling for the quality of the course overall. I thought
the materials were very good, I loved being able to access the lectures
whenever I wanted, and I thought the MBE prep was particularly effective..."
"Thought the course was well done. Already have recommended you to friends..."
"Writing techniques and strategy are great."
"The Celebration Bar Review course is without peer. I would recommend it to everyone without hesitation."

"Great news Jackson, I passed! Thanks very much for the help. Overall I
really enjoyed my experience with Celebration Bar Review.
After going through and using commercial courses, I feel as if the Questions and
Answers materials were very similar (there are only so many ways you can ask the
same questions). But I feel as if your lectures, and most importantly your
outlines were much better. There was more analysis, which is much more helpful
to understanding material than the Commercial black letter outlines with no
analysis. Just a couple of cases makes a concept for much clearer. Also, the
mental psyching up you provided weekly, then daily, was extremely helpful. The
bar is a tough time, however, those last 30 days of you-can-do-it emails were
very helpful. Lastly, having you on call/email was well worth the price of
admission. Thanks a lot for everything. 3rd time was the charm for the MBE." CR,
Passed July 2010
"I was able to improve my multistate score 10 scaled points to receive a passing 138 on the exam. I was very pleased with this and I felt that the Celebration Bar Review course was definitely the reason for my improvement. I followed the course outline and felt really great about this improvement in my score!" Feb 2010 Bar Taker
"After having unsuccessfully tried my hand at a Bar Exam with what you would refer to as one of the 'Mega Bar Review' companies, I decided to try something new and go with a company that could take a more personalized approach. I'm glad that I did. I took and passed the MBE as well as the state portion of the Feb 2010 Bar Exam and all thanks go to Jackson and Celebration Bar Review. My thanks again and I will definitely be choosing your services for any future exams of my own as well as recommending them to all others who should ask."-Feb 2010 Bar Exam Taker
"When I first started your program, I was reading through the preliminary materials, specifically the section on the MBE. You had a sample multiple choice question regarding the use of a deadly weapons - it was basically a self defense question. Anyway, I missed that question! And then the following paragraph explained that it was an indicator question regarding the future performance on the MBE. It explained the relationship between those who could answer that question and those who could not and the correlation to success on the MBE. I was devastated because I missed it- but more importantly, I was NOT surprised. I've never done well on MC as I told you when I hired you. I won't repeat my LSAT and ACT scores - you've heard them from me enough (ok a 144 and 17), but I'm sure you remember they were horrible. But after I followed your instructions I managed to muster a scaled 145 on the practice exam. I was ecstatic!! So, I was expecting a similar result on this exam. Jackson, by God's grace I earned a scaled 154 on the Feb 2010 Multistate Bar Exam. Wow - that's all I can say. Thank you so much for your help."
"Just wanted to let you know that
I didn't just pass the bar this time... I increased my my MBE scores by 34
POINTS. WOW! It didn't matter, just passing would have been good enough, but
my scores are surely a reflection of what Celebration Bar Exam Review did for
me. I will recommend your services to anyone I know who is facing the bar, but
I will especially encourage repeaters to take your course. You have a
gift...thank you for sharing it."

"I passed the July 2008 MBE! I truly believe your course made all the difference. ...I plan on recommending you to all my friends..."
"Late last week,
I received results of the MBE, my state (Vermont) essay exam and MPRE. I passed all three. MBE: 152 raw, 157 scaled;
essay: 38 raw, 148 converted; MPRE: 43 raw, 128 scaled. I should be
officially admitted to the Vermont Bar by the summer. Thank you very much. Your course made all the difference. As
one of the older people taking the full slate of exams in February (I
turn 45 in two months), what felt the best on the exam days was knowing that
I felt prepared. Even though the exam seemed far more difficult than
the two practice ones, I got to the break each day knowing I could
finish and pass and did not have the sense of panic that I could see in the
faces and hear in the conversation of some of my fellow exam takers. I
appreciated not only the pedagogy of the course but even more
so your encouragement and good humor which certainly helped maintain focus on
the real goal (and as importantly, helped maintain perspective, for
which I think my family thanks you). Feel free to use me as a reference for any of Celebration's
promotional materials. I do think the course is ideal for anyone who is
not fresh out of law school and must balance real life responsibilities with
the bar exam."

"I am writing to let you know how beneficial your
course was to my bar exam preparation. Three days ago I received notification that I passed the Massachusetts Bar Exam. This
was my second time taking the Massachusetts Bar. The first time around I took the BarBri course,
and needless to say, it didn't work. The time I spent watching the videotaped lectures and
participating in the "Essay Advantage" workshops was a complete waste of
valuable study time. BarBri encourages you to read (and re-read) their outlines and memorize your notes, none of this helps to
prepare you for the real exam. Although your course did not offer materials for the Massachusetts essay
portion, I went ahead and used the Multistate materials, and that was enough to help me
pass the exam. The tapes that were provided were extremely easy to concentrate on and made
the subjects un-well, almost. The Multistate practice questions were the most real-to-life I've
seen ....I recognized many of them on the actual exam.However, the best part of the course was the personal attention, whenever I had a
question, or just needed motivation, I knew someone was
available. Knowing that I was not alone during this most difficult process was, to me, the
greatest motivator of all.I want to thank you for providing me with the tools and the method that I needed to be
successful on the bar exam. As far as I'm concerned, your course is the best bar exam
course out there! Keep up the good work!"

"Thank you for your superb MBE course. I know that the reason I passed the MBE is that I
followed the study plan outlined by you and heeded your test-taking advice. Before contacting your company, I had used BarBri. I found your materials to be
more manageable than theirs. I also found your practice questions were a better reflection
of the questions on the actual MBE than the questions in BarBri's materials. Moreover, your course had the personal touch that BarBri lacked. Knowing that guidance
was just a phone call away made a world of difference. The personalized study plan you
prepared helped me with the areas of exam preparation which were most difficult for me. If there is anything I can do to help spread the word about your superior
bar review
course, please let me know.
