Great Book
This book is very insightful for people who wasn’t so successful in passing the bar. It gave me courage and explained the ins and outs of how to approach the bar that made me lace my boot straps back up and get back in the game. Very, very pleased with the reading and activities.

If you are taking ANY BAR, Get This Book!
I was drawn to the title because that is how I felt about the bar at that moment. But after reading a few sample pages I was quickly hooked on the philosophy behind the title. I applied this to my final bar attempt, and well, it was my final attempt.I had previously used the BarBri method, and even though I passed all of their tests, I failed. Only through reading this book did I come to realize the simplicity in this approach. Only through application of the principles in this book did I come to realize that the Bar Exam is really mechanical, and easy. After all, you already know the law, this books gives you a practical way to practice writing what you know.Its easy to "think" you know what and how you are going to write something, but without the practice you have no experience. The experience of writing is the key to passing the bar. This book will show you how to gain that experience-- I wish I could give it 10 stars.

You can pass the bar on the first try, and this book will absolutely help you
I have now taken and passed three bar exams using this book’s methods and motivations. If you need motivation, read the first chapter. If you need a schedule, it gives you that. If you have any doubts, I passed the Delaware bar using this book and other methods but this book was a huge help. It gave me an outline and was immensely helpful.You pass the bar by taking the bar. Every. Single day. MBE questions. Essays. MPTs.If you are thinking can I swing any more money on bar materials, the answer is yes — buy this book.

Practical Approach to Pass the Bar
I saw the title and thought, "why not?" After taking the bar exam twice, my hopes were dwindling and I honestly could not pay for expensive tutoring services. I had done the expensive bar prep systems twice and I wasn't getting anywhere. In my gut I knew my essays and PT were the reason why I was feeling unprepared. Well, this book is the expensive tutor you can't afford. Jessica has a very well thought out plan to approach your studies, and it works! Within the first week I felt enlightened, I could see what I had been doing wrong all along. Get this book and give it a try, I promise you that you will walk away with new useful tips and information.

BUY THE BOOK!
This book is gold for the bar exam!! The book breaks down the system step by step all the while giving the reader encouragement and support. I have taken two bar exams in two different states. When I studied for my first bar exam, I used a commercial bar prep company. I felt constantly frazzled and frantic. This time around, I used Jessica's method. I felt much calmer, more organized, and confident in my preparation. I spent my time taking actions that actually moved the needle. Jessica's approach works. I also love her writing style. This book is what you need if you want to make the bar exam a positive, live changing experience.

Finally and thank God - this book is a must read for bar prep. Period.
I loved this book! It’s a must read for anyone looking to gain clarity on what is REALLY needed to pass the bar exam - whether a first timer or a repeater. The author writes with knowledge and authority on the subject at hand, and her delivery is not without understanding and compassionate towards the reader who is undertaking the enormous task of bar prep and testing. This book lays out bar prep in a straightforward, easy to follow manner. The author’s twist on the typical bar exam study method is golden! You’ll have lightbulbs going off, wishing you’d have known her insights sooner, but thanking your lucky stars you do now! Her down to earth humor is well placed amidst her otherwise ‘give it to you straight’ guidance - perfectly balanced to take the stress off and give the reader hope. There is definitely an end to the tunnel of <law school-bar prep-bar test> and this book lights the way! Highly recommended.

Highly Recommend This Book
I accidentally found this on Amazon and read the reviews and decided to give it a go. Look, this book along with studying smarter is the reason why I did well on my essays for the state specific. Her approach was very different than what past tutors have told me and I’m glad I followed Jessica Klein’s advice. All I have left is the MBE to conquer but I’m glad to have passed the state specific this past administration.

Must read for anyone taking the bar!
This is a fantastic book and a must-read for law school graduates! It offers a straight-forward, no non-sense approach for prepping for the bar with confidence and minimal stress. The work is hard but manageable. It makes more sense, to me at least than watching lectures that the bar companies offer and then looking over outlines.If you learn more by doing, this approach is for you. Even if you purchase a commercial bar prep program, I would still recommend this book and perhaps incorporate some of her recommendations into your prep.

Time will tell if her method works...!
I was on the fence about buying this book because it was pretty clear to me from her blog and the first 5 free chapters that she is using the book as a funnel for her Tony Robbins inspired coaching business...(which Im not against in any way! I wish I had a tony robbins inspired business... but I dont want to buy a book that is just a gateway to other stuff i have to buy.)But in the end, what convinced me was the fact that it was cheap on amazon and amazon has an excellent return policy ;) but then it arrived and I LOVE it. Her method just resonates with me and my way of learning. I am NOT a flashcard person...im kinesthetic, I learn by doing. I was really starting to worry that Im not UBE material...Plus i bought barmax and find their study schedule doesn't help me know what to do when or how much AT ALL.Her book answers all these questions and sets out an unorthodox method that seems like it would really work. I got started with her method this week and already Im feeling way more at ease about the whole thing.Yes, she does mention her course several times, but not in a pushy way and she does give all then info needed to follow her method within the book, no need to buy anything else.Ive already reread several chapters a few times. Its a short read, but really worth it.I know I sound like an infomercial, but I just really really appreciated this book...Anyways, we have a Fck the Bar facebook study group going on if anyone wants to join us.
