The short version: we're a supplement, not a replacement, built to lock in the rule statements that win essays.
Because we're not trying to be your whole bar prep. We're the supplement that fixes the part most courses gloss over: actually knowing the rule statements cold for the essays.
Rule the Bar was built by attorneys who passed two of the hardest bar exams in the country, Florida and California. The essay portion really comes down to one thing: if you can recall the governing rule on command, you've put yourself in a genuine position to pass. Memorize the rules across every subject and you've done the highest-leverage prep there is.
So keep your main course for the week-by-week program, and use Rule the Bar to drill every rule into memory and practice realistic MBE-style questions alongside it.
Not quite, and we're honest about it. The one thing we don't give you is a week-by-week program. Everything else is here: every rule statement, 1,800+ MBE-style questions, the licensed NCBE bank, the Florida MCQ bank, Essay Lab, flashcards, outlines, and lectures with MCQ and Licensed. Use your course's schedule and do the work here.
We've sat the exam, so our multiple-choice questions are written to feel like what's actually tested, not the insanely hard, sometimes irrelevant questions that leave you discouraged and don't reflect the real thing. Every question comes with a full explanation.
Every bar essay is rule → application. If the rule statement is automatic, you spend your time applying the facts and arguing, not fishing for the law or freezing. Locking in the rules across all subjects is the single highest-leverage thing you can do for the essays (and the MBE).
Active-recall drilling of the rule statements across every MBE subject, plus 1,800+ MBE-style practice questions with detailed explanations, from $99. Spaced repetition and progress tracking are built in.
Plans start at $99, and every plan begins with a free 5-day trial. Add a card to start; cancel anytime within 5 days and you won't be charged.
