Frequently asked questions

The short version: we're a supplement, not a replacement — built to lock in the rule statements that win essays.

Why Rule the Bar? There are already a ton of bar-exam supplements.

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 (BarBri, Kaplan, Themis) for the program and lectures — and use Rule the Bar to drill every rule into memory and practice realistic MBE-style questions alongside it.

Is this a replacement for BarBri, Kaplan, or Themis?

No — and we'd never claim to be. It's a supplement. Your full course gives you the program, lectures, and outlines; Rule the Bar makes sure the rule statements actually stick and adds realistic practice. They work best together.

How are your MCQs different from BarBri or Kaplan questions?

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 the big courses throw at you that leave you discouraged and don't reflect the real thing. Every question comes with a full explanation.

How does memorizing rule statements help the essays?

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).

What exactly do I get?

Active-recall drilling of the rule statements across every MBE subject, plus 1,800+ MBE-style practice questions with detailed explanations — from $69. Spaced repetition and progress tracking are built in.

How much does it cost, and is there a free trial?

Plans start at $69, 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.

Which exam and states does it cover?

The core rule set targets the MBE subjects tested on the UBE. California and Florida rule decks are rolling out, and Florida users get a dedicated Florida question bank. Check your jurisdiction's exam scope.

Do you guarantee I'll pass the bar?

No honest prep can. What we can do is give you the essentials — the rules and realistic practice — to put yourself in the best position to pass.

What is your refund policy?

The free 5-day trial is your chance to evaluate it. After the trial, charges are final except where required by law — full details are on our Refund Policy.
