Needs Refinement – BarMax Bar Exam, MBE & MPRE Review

Remember when you missed a class in law school and asked for the lecture to be recorded? Then asked your smart friend for their notes? Basically, that’s what you get with this. Which means the overall content is pretty good, however for nearly $1k, I expected more refinement (i.e. responsiveness to questions, outline free of typographical and grammatical errors, better flash cards, etc). So it is significantly cheaper than most bar review courses, however because the written material is so raw, I cant quite shake the feeling that I paid a Harvard grad a ton of money for his outline. Also very true that some of the lectures are bad, since they read the outline word for word...but depending on your professor that’s also true in law school, hence my comparison above. There are several that are really good in there as well. On the plus side, it’s basically what I needed to be able to study on go and on my terms. The app itself is simple to use and the added online access makes it very convenient. Note: I have not yet taken the exam, hence my opinions are free any pass/no pass bias, however I also cannot definitively speak to effectiveness of the materials. Edit: I reached out to BarMax regarding a couple blatant issues with missing info in both the outlines and flash cards...took them 3 days to respond with “we’re working on it” and “thanks for pointing that out.” It’s been two weeks, it doesn’t look like its fixed, nor have they provided me with the correct content. It’s becoming clear that being helpful to students is not part of their business model.
