BarBri is the best in the industry! The lecturers and books were succinct and taught exactly what I needed to focus on. If you trust their process and do the work you will pass the Bar on the first try like I did.

BarBri absolutely covers everything that's on the exam. I especially liked the way the differences in my state's law were highlighted in the outlines.
I didn't study the "BarBri way". I worked harder using the memorization skills I used decades ago in law school, and I barely passed. I didn't get the repeat and focused lessons that might have made me stronger with less effort.

The videos are clear, engaging, and contain key topics. I like that the course adjusted based on my pacing and performance on practice. The materials you are provided are extensive and were great resources.

What made Barbri great is all the study aids I had access to. The lecturers gave their contact information if you had questions. The flash cards were great. I was working full time while studying so when co-workers came to my office they each pulled a card and quizzed me. I was glad to see a study course that was geared toward those of us who work full time. I chose the 10-month course but unfortunately, I had a medical issue and had to delay testing until the February exam so I was able to use my guarantee and continue studying through the six-month course. I took the February 2025 exam and passed! I am swearing in on May 23, 2025, here in NC. Thank you all!

Barbri helped me a lot! The course is specifically tailored to cover everything you need at your bar exam! Trust the course, spend as much time as you can and Barbri do the job!
I passed with my first attempt even though I am a foreign-trained attorney!

Thank you, Barbri!
I really enjoyed my experience with Barbri, particularly being able to work with Odessa Alm. She made my experience taking the California Bar so much less stressful. Barbri's program also was very useful, I like that it adapted to fit my needs and also that it had a variety of activity types. I felt so prepared to take the exam, even with all the challenges the February 2025 CA Bar threw at me. Thank you!

If you're an international student, I recommend choosing the Extended Program. If you're a JD graduate who didn't study much during law school, trust BARBRI—they’ve already anticipated your concerns and designed the learning process accordingly. Just follow the program like a robot: don’t ask, don’t hesitate, and you’ll get your results.

Trust the process. Believe in your abilities. You will be filled with anxiety and doubt throughout. Keep going. Do your daily assignments and stay up to date and complete the entire course. Trust that Barbri knows what it’s doing. I’ve done it four times and passed all four times.

The Barbri course is very structured and follows the rules required to pass the exam. So, by following the curriculum you are brought with every step closer to the successful finish. I also liked the Barbri warranty that if you don’t pass you will get the access again to help you prepare for the next exam date.

I graduated 13 years ago and went into another field. I retired last year and decided to try the Texas Bar. I had no expectation of passing, but I wanted to give it a shot. Barbri prepared me, and not only did I pass, but scored in the top 20%! I'd recommend Barbri to anyone.

The quality of the teaching and materials are generally good. There were a couple of topics where the lectures could have been filled with more examples in order to clarify.
The online portal is good although it's not entirely clear how you make contact with an actual person to clarify points of law or obtain feedback.
The Mock exams were good and for the most part a true reflection of the actual SQE1 exam.

I took the BARBRI SQE1 preparation course as a qualified lawyer from a civil law jurisdiction, with no prior background in the common law system and not being a native English speaker. I passed the SQE1 on my first attempt, and overall, I can say the course is well-structured and provides a solid foundation for exam preparation.
I prepared exclusively using BARBRI materials — I didn’t use any external resources or supplementary textbooks. The course was comprehensive enough to cover the necessary content, and with consistent study, it’s absolutely possible to pass relying solely on what’s provided.
The course materials cover a vast amount of content, and the overall structure is helpful. However, the BARBRI app and website interface definitely require improvement. They are not very user-friendly, and I often experienced issues with video playback, window scaling, and general issues with saving of progress. These technical issues made studying less convenient than it could have been.
The quality of content delivery also varied — while some lecturers explained the material clearly, others were less effective, making it harder to follow and understand. Additionally, there were quite a few small but important mistakes across the printed materials, test questions, and even in the video lectures. It’s essential to stay alert, cross-check information, and keep in mind that not all content is promptly updated in line with legislative changes.
One of the real highlights was the Land Law & Practice lecturer — an engaging and positive speaker who explained complex topics with clarity, humor, and enthusiasm. The Criminal Law lecturer also stood out for her detailed responses to questions and willingness to provide extra context beyond the core materials, which was incredibly helpful.
I didn’t make use of the psychological support or training coach services included in the course, as I didn’t find them necessary for myself. However, I would have appreciated the opportunity to ask legal questions directly during short one-on-one sessions, similar to those offered by the coach. The current system of submitting questions in writing can be frustrating — occasionally, the person responding didn’t fully understand the question or missed it entirely, leading to delays and the need to rewrite the same query multiple times.
Despite these shortcomings, I would definitely recommend the course and BARBRI as a provider — especially for international lawyers who are preparing for the SQE1. With discipline, critical thinking, and some extra effort to verify materials, the course offers strong support on the way to passing the exam.

I signed up for the BARBRI SQE Course and followed the guidance provided in the books. I managed to pass the SQE exam on my first attempt. I highly recommend the BARBRI SQE Course. However, I would suggest supplementing it with additional mock tests, such as QLTS mocks. If you follow the course properly and study the materials as recommended, there’s a good chance of passing the exam.
