Feb 2008 Exam Topics:
Jackson ACCURATELY PREDICTED ALL 5 ESSAY SUBJECTS!

MPT:

For the 2nd exam in a row, we accurately predicted the 5 essays topics (including the Crossover Topics) and the form of the MPT! Isn't that the kind of insight you want from your bar review course?

And here's what some of our students told us after the exam...

"Your predictions of ALL subjects were true....You NAILED IT AGAIN!"
"I answered the essay questions using your tips..."
"The NY multiple choice questions were very specific, as you warned..."
"The exam went well...Thanks!"
"I'm glad I had your mentoring!"

New updates and revisions!

We've recently recorded and updated our audio lectures for the NY Exam. Jackson's NEW lectures include all the recent changes to NY law that is tested on the exam PLUS an updated essay writing approach that takes advantage of our revolutionary teaching and writing methods. This is the same approach we've used with our mentored students for the last few years and now we've expanded it to our audio series so that every Celebration Bar Exam Review student can access this incredibly successful method of writing!

 2007 Results
Over 85% of our July 2007 NY Bar Students Passed!!!

"I passed! I am so happy and I cannot believe it. I cannot say anything but thanks to you and your program. As you know, I failed two times before I met your program.  I took barbri and pmbr, but it was not enough to prepare for the exam.
Your lectures and study materials were very effective even for a foreign educated person like me.  In addition, I could find that my essay skills were developing under your mentoring everyday.   Especially, your predictions were accurate and I felt well prepared when I took the essay exam. Lastly, your emails were very helpful for me to recover my faith towards God.  I could rely on God when I was preparing for the exam. How I can write all thanks to you in this email!

2006 Results: Over 85% of Our Students PASS!

"I passed the July New York exam.  I can't extol the virtues of Celebration Bar Review enough.  As a working professional studying for the bar exam for the first time, I needed an efficient and intuitive guide to digest the essentials of multistate and New York principles in short order.  After thorough research of available courses, I chose Celebration, and I was not disappointed.  Jackson's lectures were essential to my success.  They drilled down to the absolute necessities yet remained eminently interesting, no small feat given some of the material.  Thank you Jackson." Stephen Chamberlain,  PASSED July 2006 NY Bar Exam
 

"I passed on the NY Bar exam!!!! Thank you for all! It's very exciting as I had failed twice before [with another course]" Z.G. PASSED July 2006 NY Bar Exam

"I just learned I passed the exam, and I'm writing to say thanks for all your help. Your materials are really good, and I've already recommended the course to a couple of my colleagues who are also thinking of taking the NY exam." Salvador Panga PASSED NY Feb 2006

2005 Results: Over 85% of Our Students PASS!

I got the results online today and I passed!!!  Thanks so much for all your help and your great course.  Your course combined with of course hours upon hours of studying was a winning combination.  I'm especially grateful because I knew very little New York law before I started your course, having gone to law school in South Carolina.  It was a great learning and studying tool and I'd recommend it to anyone!

Chester Edwards PASSED NY July 2005

At 55 and almost 30 years out of law school this has been by no means easy, but I do believe in the course.  I took the practice Feb 91 Multistate and my scaled score was 163; when I took the Multistate almost 30 years ago my score was 159; I am amazed, impressed and grateful for the preparation.  I do believe that this is, after all, a "confidence" game; you've helped me to secure my confidence, and if my dad, who was a physician in NY, could, at the age I am now, take the FL medical boards and pass, then I can do this, too.  And I did!

Thomas Steenburg, PASSED NY Feb 2005

"WELL, YOU WERE RIGHT, I PASSED THE NY BAR.  OK, THIS IS REALLY CORNY, BUT....IT'S TIME TO CELEBRATE!"

"Thank you, members of Celebration Bar Review.  Your thoughtful, well rounded and concise method was
definitely a prominent factor in helping me to pass the NY bar on my first attempt, and has given me a
very good reason to CELEBRATE!  Thank you for all your efforts in putting together such a great course. "

Passing Score Remains at 665

The new required passing score has been held at 665 rather than the increase previously announced...

On January 10, 2007 the Board of Law Examiners issued the following notice:

The State Board of Law Examiners announced today that the passing score for the February and July 2007 bar examinations will remain at 665 out of 1000 points. This is the same score that has been required to pass the examination since July 2005. Prior to July 2005, the passing score was 660.

The Board will continue to analyze the impact of the prior increase in the passing score. The National Conference of Bar Examiners has conducted a study of that impact based on the results of the July 2005 bar examination. Further study is underway regarding the 2006 examinations.

The Board recently met with representatives of the New York law schools and the New York State Bar Association Committee on Legal Education and Admission to the Bar to discuss the study. The Board also recently met with the State Bar Association Special Committee to Study the Bar Examination and Other Means of Measuring Lawyer Competency to discuss issues related to the assessment of law graduates’ readiness for practice.

The format of the NY Bar Exam remains steady since 2001

The 2001 changes included the addition of the Multistate Performance Test (MPT), a reduction in essays from 6 to 5 and a reduction in issues per question from 4 to 3. The time allocation to answer essay questions is 40 minutes per question. The grading allocation continue to be 10% NY Multiple Choice Questions; 10% MPT; 40% NY Essays; 40% MBE.
