Score Maximizer ProgramTM
Our Score maximizer program is our premiere, and most comprehensive, bar prep program. It is an excellent choice for first time takers and for those repeating the bar exam.
Score Maximizer Students enjoy an 80% – 90% pass rate on the California Bar Exam
As a first-time taker, you will enjoy an 80% to 90% pass rate if you follow our program and complete a majority of the assignments. These pass rates also hold true for repeat takers who graduate from California Bar Accredited or ABA Accredited law schools, who complete a majority of their assignments.
Unlike most bar prep, the Score MaximizerTM Program is Approach Driven
Most bar examinees spend a majority of their time reviewing the substantive law and working on memorization. And, sadly, few examinees spend enough time writing practice essays or developing essay approaches. Of course, reviewing the law and memorization is a necessary part of passing any bar exam. However, in order to pass the California bar exam, you need to have approaches to every subject and every topic within each subject. Ideally, you should be memorizing approaches in the final ten days before the bar exam.
With Bar None Review, you do not need to come up with essay approaches or MBE approaches because we provide all of this to you. For an example of an approach and where you want to be positioned before the bar exam, see this video of our First Amendment Speech approach. It works for both the essays and the MBEs. This short video is an example of both our teaching method and the level that you need to be at in order to pass the California bar exam. These approaches are found throughout our materials. See the list below of what is included in the Score MaximizerTM Program.
“The Score MaximizerTM Program is excellent! I was able to significantly improve on my multi-states as well as my essay performance. If you are willing to put in the work, Bar None Review will show you how to get where you need to go.” – Ben W, Esq.

Our exam writing workshops are far more than a substantive review. BNR’s exam writing workshops provide step-by-step approaches for writing the most commonly tested areas.

We teach students how to write effectively for the California Bar Examiners. Plus, as a Score Maximizer student, you will have access to all of our videos through our online campus, 24 hours a day.

What if I am a first time bar taker?
If you are a first time bar examinee, taking the Score MaximizerTM Program is one of the best ways to insure that you will only take the bar exam once. The problem with some of the options offered by competitors is that the programs are typically one size, fits all. The California bar exam is one of the hardest in the nation. Our students enjoy high pass rates because our program is tailored to the specific rigors of the California bar and to each students individual needs.
What works for one state (in terms of bar prep) simply does not generally translate to passing in California. At Bar None Review, we have specialized in preparing examinees for the California bar exam since 1999. This is why Bar None Review has been chosen by top law firms throughout the country to prepare their new hires and associates for the California bar exam.
Score Maximizer Students enjoy an 80% – 90% pass rate on the California Bar Exam
As a first-time taker, you will enjoy an 80% to 90% pass rate if you follow our program and complete a majority of the assignments. These pass rates also hold true for repeat takers who graduate from California Bar Accredited or ABA Accredited law schools, who complete a majority of their assignments.
What if I am repeating the bar exam? Access to videos to watch from home!
The Score MaximizerTM Program is ideal for repeat bar examinees because we are able to prepare a program that is specifically designed for you and your needs. If you are a repeat bar examinee, the program begins with an evaluation of your bar exam score sheet as well as a personal assessment conducted by phone or in person. After this initial assessment we put together a plan of action and you begin making improvement right away. About three to four weeks after bar results, you will receive your bar exam answers for the essays and performance tests from the California bar examiners. These are mailed to you automatically. Once you receive your past bar exam answers we will review these for you to make sure that your study plan and program are designed to remedy your problem areas as well as capitalize on your strengths.
By developing a program specifically designed for you and your needs, you are able to focus on the areas that you need to improve the most. It is especially important to master the actual technique of passing the exam. We achieve this by teaching our proven method and strategies and providing exam feedback and coaching.
