Here's a sample of what Our Students Had To Say
Right After their Exams...
(could you say this about YOUR bar review???)
100% of our Feb and July 2011 Students* would recommend Celebration Bar Review to
their friends...
"I loved everything about this course...would change nothing..."
"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."

Student Comments and other Exam News from our Twitter Feed...
"I
am sure you've heard this before, but your bar specific affirmations have
changed my entire outlook towards the bar. I feel a thousand times better about
life in general and I appreciate the fact that you brought the lecture to "life"
by explaining the hard science behind the brain. You may be interested to know
that after I failed the NY bar the first time, someone from barbri told me that
I should reconsider a law career. I took that exam, and the one in February,
believing that I was a loser. Although, I sometimes feel negative thoughts
trying to sneak in, I've been managing to beat them down. Thanks again. You've
made a huge impact."
"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."
"I just wanted to let you know that
your NY exam essay predictions were spot on. You totally nailed the topics. Just
thought I'd let you know and say thanks again."
" I wanted to say Thank YOU! For
everything your encouragement, critique, and for starting Celebration Bar
Review. I will obviously let you know when the Florida results come out, but I
just wanted to let you know how grateful I am for you.
I was calm during the exam and implemented everything I learned. ..over all I
felt much more confident and relaxed than the first time."
"...a brief note of thanks. I believe your course offered an excellent
preparation for the California Exam, and I was extremely pleased by my
investment. In particular, the "conflict pairs" approach to "dissecting" the
question and F-L-A answer format is an extremely efficient approach to the
essays, eg. "point the law ('spotlight') on the facts". I believe the essay
answering strategy alone was "worth the price of admission." Obviously, the rest
was up to me to prepare and implement - and time will tell how I did in that
regard."
"However the results come
out, I have no doubt that this exam was far less stressful for me, and the
questions actually seemed easier, thanks to your thoroughly researched materials
(which I will always keep as a California reference library), your thoughtful
lectures with invaluable practical advice, your development of the
conflict-pairs system, and the insistence on writing out essays. I learned,
studying this course, the value of applied problem-solving (writing out actual
essays and PTs) as an essential part of the learning process."
"I thought it was a great
experience. I felt real good about taking the exam.
Thank you for your great efforts helping me prepare for this exam. I can assure
you that I felt I was well prepared and was not nervous at all as some other
people around me.
Overall I feel like I gave my best. There is no essay question that makes me say
that I did not do well. I was able to finish on time all essay questions
and PTs. As a matter of fact I was able to do spell check on them which
identified several spelling errors. Your advice of not including irrelevant
facts and law helped me a lot during the test.
After taking your course I felt that my strength became essay writing. I was so
ready for each essay no matter which topic. Once I got the question in the test,
I went through it just like I did during my practice writing. It went very
smoothly."
"I must say that your predictions
were spot-on... I feel that your course really hits its goal of preparing an
individual to take the Bar. In my opinion, the Examiners picked on smaller
issues on the essays as opposed to the big ticket items and I think your program
addressed these. As you have always encouraged students, developing rule
statements/definitions helped with this past Exam. Of course, that is an
individual
responsibility. Your course was excellent, overall. I hope that I was able
to channel all you offered, and perform well."
"...thanks so much for helping me, I think I got out of the exam feeling quite
ok with the essays and I owe it to your amazing conflict pairs!"
"I just wanted to thank you
for all the encouragement and the funny words before and after the exam. I am
done with the exam, and I feel so much better than last summer, I think no
matter what happens, your course really helped me. I noticed the questions were
more specific and I feel they were more difficult than previous years, but I
felt very confident using your "pairs" technique and I was able to write well."
"Well, if you haven't
already heard, you were 5 for 6 this time in CA. It's over and, I hope, over for
good! I was able to keep with your writing format, I used conflict pairs, and I
worked from the facts such that the exam reader should see that I reasoned
through the questions. I guess I had this routine down, as I was able to do it
within the time constraints and felt that I addressed all that could be
addressed."
"Your predictions were super! Thank you very much for the great materials,
advice and encouragement."
"I really thought about the
things you had said to me during the exam and believe it or not, in a way you
were there with me. You were in my mind reminding me what to do."
"Thank you, so much for
everything you do.....taking your course has been a very rewarding experience. I
believe the exam went very well.....I am very confident that I have passed it by
His Grace. I felt very confident when I saw the questions...my heart leaped as I
screamed in my mind...I know that...I know that!!!
Once again, thank you....the emails and podcasts were a source of great
encouragement. Thank you for your prayers. I pray the Lord will continue to
strengthen you, and bless you and yours always."
"You did a good job with
your predictions for the Florida essays. They were right on point. Thanks for
the help. I also thought the course materials properly prepared me for the bar."
" wanted to thank you for
your support and guidance, as it was (and still is) very much appreciated."
"I want to thank you for all
of the help you gave me in preparing for the bar exam. I experienced first hand
the brilliance behind the writing strategy. In fact, the instructions on the
Georgia essay exams could have been taken from your essay writing workshop.
I finished answering all of the questions with time to review and I was faithful
to the writing strategy."
"..Thank you again for
having such a wonderful Bar course. It allowed me to face with a remarkable
level of confidence, the rigors of the difficult NY exam."
"felt much better about the
MBE which was my weak point last time around...was not all wild eyed and as
pressured for time and also got lots more rest which makes a big difference and
so I am looking forward to good news in May. Thanks to Joanne's guidance, I felt
much more confident about writing the MPT and more in control in terms of the
essays. So thanks to you both!"
"Thank you so much for all
your mentoring, guidance, support and prayers!"
"Your predictions of the
subject matters to be tested on the NY essays was pretty accurate for which I am
grateful as I reviewed those in particular in the final days before the exam.
I think the NY multiple choice and the MBE went rather well and the materials
had provided more than adequate preparation."
"I am very happy I took your
course because it was really helpful and the essay part made me feel better
because of you guys."
