Use the raise the bar program and listen to what your coach tells you to do. Be honest and vulnerable about your weaknesses. Deviating from my commercial program and using the Raise the Bar materials can be helpful if you are stuck in a certain area in your commercial program and feeling like you are not improving.
It is with absolute excitement to inform you that I passed the Bar! You have no idea how much you helped me through the process. I am forever grateful for [this] amazing program. I have no doubt Raise The Bar will continue to help many students be successful. Again, thank you so much!
Thank you for everything! I truly wouldn’t have been able to do this without you and the support of St. Mary’s!
I found the Raise the Bar Program to be more beneficial than the bar prep course I paid for. I’m very grateful. The best part, in my opinion, was knowing that there were professors who really cared about my success. Just knowing that the Raise the Bar professors would be there to provide feedback, listen to me whine, and offer me suggestions made all the difference in the world. I am thankful I had the opportunity to take advantage of the services they provided.
