Any attorneys or law students here...need help!

Completely stressing about this right now!!! I figured I'd ask...I'm trying to get as much info as possible...ughh!!!
For Bar prep, do you recommend Barbri or Pieper?
I'm thinking Pieper is a better fit for me, but, I would love to hear your thoughts on this.....

I'm soooooo losing my mind!!!

I used Pieper and I was very very happy with the preparation I received for the bar exam. It's a much more personal service than Barbri. Most of my friends took Pieper also as well as FH and we all passed the first time

Thank you for that info. Right now I'm taking a bar type course at my school, which is being conducted by Barbri. These people are EVERYWHERE in my school!!

Anyways, I can't stand the whole fill-in the blank nonsense...completely feel like I'm not gaining anything from this! I'm happy I'm learning about these companies before the summer....

i took barbri, as did 90% of my graduating class. i felt overly prepared for the bar exam. it really doesn't make a difference, you'll be fine w/ either.

I took Pieper, and passed lol.

I liked that you have to write down everything that is said, so it stuck with me, also the mnemonics (anyone else think that it is ridiculous to spell a word for having a way to remember things easily?) have stuck with me even now, and I took the Bar in 08.

I had friends who took Bar Bri and did fine, its more about what fits your study style

It's so funny I didnt know anyone that took Pieper but they are all on LIW!

I took Barbri, passed 1st try, felt very prepared, they have great materials. I'm thinking most people take Barbri for a reason...

However, I dont know much about Pieper, but if you have done your research and feel it's a good fit then go for it. It's just important to take a course and study a LOT. good luck!
