"I was a repeat bar-taker who had been let down by other supposedly "personalized" review courses but a former boss suggested I call Shari Karney and it was the best recommendation I'd received. When I enrolled in Barwinners , it was exactly what I was looking for -- the benefit of someone else's experience of having done the bar over and over, personal attention and accountability, EXACTLY WHAT TO WRITE on the Bar, simulated bar exams to practice actual testing conditions, and ACCURATE FEEDBACK. There is no doubt in my mind that the structure and flow of the Barwinners materials and class was the reason I finally passed the bar."

"I have no doubt that I would not have been nearly as confident or successful now, nor in my ability to pass the California bar had it not been for Shari. Barwinners' course materials provide the perfect template for anyone to be successful in taking the bar. If you listen to Shari and do exactly what she says, you will pass."

Mayer Brown LLP, 4th year litigation associate

"The Barwinners/Karney Course provided me the tailored-made, focused approach I needed to get me through the California Bar Exam. One of the core tenets of the course is a recognition that individuals vary in idiosyncratic ways that the cookie-cutter methods of other courses do not, and cannot, accommodate. By the end of the course, I was not just another name on a list; Shari and her staff knew me and my preparation needs. They provided me the individualized attention I needed to navigate successfully the rigors of taking the California Bar Exam. Enrolling in the Barwinners/Karney Course was among the best decisions I have ever made."

Take every practice exam as though it's the real Bar, bear down, and you'll pass. Thanks for getting me through a VERY rough time in my life!"

"I could not have passed the bar exam without Barwinners and Sheri Karney. Barwinners is truly a writing program that shows you how to write like a winner. Sheri Karney's writing approach is the most effective way to pass the bar. The best part about the program is that it motivates you to be a winner and pass the bar. Without this confidence, you cannot pass the bar."
