I PASSED THE FEBRUARY CA BAR EXAM!!! I just wanted to thank you and Leonard for everything you did to get me through this experience. I know I could not have done it without you and the PLATINUM PRIVATE TUTORING.

REPEATER: As a repeater, I knew my odds of passing were awful. On top of that, I was going through an unexpected family crises, which had left me drained, scatterbrained and unmotivated. In fact, before I met you, I had almost decided to wait and take the July exam. I’m so glad I didn’t. Your positive energy, constant encouragement and individual attention were the key to my success. You helped me focus on passing the Bar, and I DID IT!

I HAD TRIED THE “ONE-SIZE-FITS-ALL BAR REVIEW COURSES in the past, and they clearly didn’t fit me. But the BARWINNERS course did!

PRIVATE ONE-ON-ONE TUTORING --AWE-INSPIRING

The classes were great but the private tutoring sessions were incredibly helpful. I know I’m a decent writer, but I clearly wasn’t connecting with the Bar Readers. Our one-on-one sessions helped spot and fix specific problem with my writing style—not just the ‘common mistakes’ everyone makes. Then, during your Simulated Exams, I was able to put my new skills to work. Thanks to the thorough and prompt feedback I received on each practice exams, I could quickly see where I was improving, and where I still needed work.

MY MBE SCORE IMPROVED OVER 20 POINTS! After every MBE Workshop (which were incredible), I wrote out my own personalized outline, which combined my class notes and the workbook for each of the six subjects. Every day, I would review that subject’s outline before I did my practice MBEs. Afterwards, I’d add any new items I’d learned from grading the day’s MBE's directly onto that MBE outline subject. Tuesday night of the Bar Exam, I just lightly reviewed those outlines. It worked! (Thank God I never have to look at my outlines again!)

YOU TRULY HAVE FOUND THE MAGIC FORMULA—and it’s all in your Approach Book! You gave me a manageable amount of law to learn, and laid it out in an easy-to-understand manner. I wish I’d had your approach book in law school!

Thanks again, Shari, for all that you’ve done. I’m eternally grateful to you and Leonard!

I got your e-mail asking about my experience with Barwinners. I know this is a big decision so here’s my honest opinion.

I highly recommend Shari's class (Barwinners) but I want to explain why so that you can make a good decision for yourself.  I was a first time taker in February 09. I absolutely needed to pass the first time because I needed to get a job immediately after the bar for family reasons.

I took the Platinum 1-on-1 Tutorial program, which was a big financial investment for me - I put it on three different credit cards- but it was worth it because I passed.

Feb. 09 had one of the lowest passing scores in more than 50 year and I passed. I know I passed because I had Shari, Leonard and my tutor telling me exactly what to write, how to approach the questions and how to prepare.

I am the kind of person who needs specifics, tell me exactly what to do and I can do it.

Even if you can't do the 1:1 course I suggest you get at least one session of 1:1 or at the very least show up before class about 1/2 hour early and the graders will be there to answer your questions.

I liked the MBE with BARWINNERS better than the other course because the MBE Workshop and workbook uses solid bar questions. Most places just make up their own. From the Workshop and everything barwinners and the MBE Prof went over, I knew the answer to at least 6 question on the bar before I even finished reading them because they were exactly the same as the ones we had done in class.

If performance exams are a problem a professor at Whittier, Kristine Kelton teaches the PT section and she is the PT master.  

Plus, Shari guessed 5 of the 6-essay topics- 4 were nearly exact matches.

If you take the program make sure your outlines are done before the first day of class - it makes it so much easier!

What ever you decide I wish you the best. Bar prep is stressful no matter what but I really believe Shari's program worked for me and kept me as relaxed and happy as possible. It's just a different way of approaching it than barbari or any of the others.

We passed! Shari and the Bar Winners team gave each of us exactly what we needed to pass. The Tutor, Leonard, Shari, the TEAM. We got the personalized attention we needed to pass the exam. The Bar Winners Intensive Course and especially the Private Tutorials, were miraculous. Shari is the miracle.

It was a godsend finding Shari. I wanted to do whatever was necessary in order to pass because something was not working. From the moment I talked to Shari on the phone, she was diagnosing the causes of why I hadn't passed. I had taken two other courses for bar review and no one lays the written materials out, both essay and performance test, like Shari. She knows exactly what the bar graders are looking for. In addition to class time and simulated exams, Shari also offers the private tutorial program, which in my case included the extraordinary talents of Leonard Ludovico, a transpersonal hypnotherapist. It was Shari's belief that something besides knowledge was holding me back. Through Shari and Leonard's working in concert with me, we made transformational breakthroughs...and I passed the California bar. If you study Shari's materials and do exactly what she says, you will pass too.

P.S. I love you Shari and Leonard

Barwinners and the personalized tutorials with Shari Karney and her "Bar-Exam Fix-it Specialist," Leonard changed my life. As a repeater, I felt incredible anxiety and pressure to pass the exam. Living in fear of the experience, I avoided the responsibility and commitment that preparation for the exam requires. Shari and Leonard taught me that in order to confront my anxiety towards the exam I would have to address the root cause. With their guidance and support, I learned to take responsibility for my actions. As the exam date approached, I became increasingly focused and confident. What began, as a dreaded experience became one of the most personally satisfying and happy periods of my life. Armed with new coping tools, I overcame years of fear, anxiety and self-doubt and took the bar exam with determination and passed. For anyone who struggles with the pressures of the bar exam, this course really will change your life.

I went to Glendale College of Law.  I was on academic probation for a year at Glendale so I thought that my chances of passing the bar exam was not very good.  I took your PRIVATE TUTORIAL PROGRAM and I PASSED.

I've always had trust issues.  But I just trusted the bar like you told me. I also took the bar like an attorney like you told me to. 

Can you believe I passed!  I'm so excited I want to help you any way I can.  It's because of you and the tutor that I passed.  Thank you.
