This was my first time taking the CA bar exam and the second bar exam I have taken. I knew I needed a tutor to help me stay on track since I would be working while studying. I was particularly looking for a tutor with an outstanding essay preparation program and trusted in Steven at the recommendation of a former classmate and after hearing about his rigorous essay writing schedule, essay review week, PT program and prior experience teaching for Barbri. I am happy to say I passed the exam and I largely attribute my success to the essay skills I learned from Steven.
From early in December, he taught me how to organize essays, from including headings to the sentence structure bar graders want to see and will award points. His Essay Review Week, in his program just days before the exam, is invaluable and exposes you to how the examiners commonly test subjects and cluster issues. Using his Essay Review Week and the Trigger List were very helpful in me understanding issues that I would not normally discuss but that the bar graders were looking for me to discuss. I also felt very confident on exam day about the PT after the multiple PTs Steven's program gave me exposure to and his PT attack plan. The exam day just felt like another practice PT and I think I picked up a lot of points on the PT to offset any mistakes I may have made on other portions of the exam.
