How the Program Works

 

After enrolling in the course, you will receive a schedule assignment calendar.  You will have several assignments that you must complete and submit to AmeriBar by each scheduled due date.  The assignments include 8 essay question submissions, 2 outlining skills assignments, 1 study calendar/plan assignment, and 2 Mini-MBE 100 question practice exams.  In order to guarantee that you will pass the exam, we require that you commit to accomplishing the following tasks:

• Create and timely submit a study calendar/plan according to your unique time constraints (AmeriBar will provide several templates)

• Listen to all AmeriBar strategy and substantive law audio lectures

• Read all outline materials and outline all substantive areas of law (AmeriBar will provide you with a framework for how to outline a subject)

• Complete and timely submit two outlining skills tests to AmeriBar

• Complete and timely submit at least eight assigned practice essay questions (AmeriBar will provide detailed written critiques for your eight essays)

• Complete two scheduled 100-Question online Mini-MBE Exams with Feedback

• Complete at least 1000 practice MBE questions

In order to complete these tasks and maximize your chance of passing the exam, you must be willing and able to study on a full-time basis (at least eight hours per day/six days per week) for a minimum of six to seven weeks. Therefore, we expect you to commit to studying for a minimum of 300 total hours.  We also require that you submit a completed Money-Back Pass Guarantee Agreement (Agreement) within (10) days of enrolling with AmeriBar.  If you cannot commit to this type of study schedule, or to the requirements set forth in the Agreement, then we cannot provide a money-back guarantee that you will pass the bar exam.  We want you to pass the bar exam, but we cannot pass the bar exam for you.  Ultimately, you are responsible for putting the time and effort into preparing.  If you are unable to make such a commitment and follow through with it, then we do not suggest that you enroll in AmeriBar's Pass the First Time Money Back Guarantee Program.  One of AmeriBar's other Complete Course options may be appropriate.   

 

What Happens After the Exam

 

Ten days after taking the bar exam, you must return AmeriBar's iPod.  If you have completed all of the required tasks and dedicated the time and effort required, you should be preparing yourself to be sworn in for admission to the bar.  In the unlikely event that you do not pass the exam, you must submit the following to AmeriBar within ten days of the date on the bar examiners notification letter:

• Affidavit (a statement made under oath) stating that you meet all eligibility requirements and have completed all assignments;

• An official transcript from your law school demonstrating your date of graduation (this may be received up to 30 days from the date of receiving notification from the examiners); and 

• All AmeriBar books.
