Parent

Brenda M

Our son had taken the California Bar twice and barely missed passing the second time. He was quite disappointed and considered moving on to a career with his JD and maybe take the Bar sometime in the future. I heard about Steven from a friend who’s daughter had gone through his program after failing the first exam...
Repeater

Santa Clara Alum

While no one wants to have to take the Bar 3 times, I could not imagine doing this process without the Steven’s help. Having previously used Bar/Bri for my first two attempts, I knew that I needed a more guided and personal approach for my third attempt. Within the first week of contacting Steven and signing up with the program...
Attorney Applicant

Joel Knaack

Steven was recommended to me after I failed the California Bar Exam as an attorney applicant on my first attempt. As an attorney barred in another jurisdiction that had been practicing for 7 years, clerked for two judges at my home state’s supreme court, and had served in the USAF JAG Corps, I figured I wouldn’t have any problems passing...
First Timer

JFK Law Grad

I took the California Bar exam for the first time in July ... sorry, no, September ... wait, my bad, October 2020, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. While I probably would have been just fine studying independently with Bar/Bri materials alone, I knew that I wanted more accountability and personalized attention...

1-on-1 Meetings

ALL of our meetings are 1-on-1. No small groups, no conference calls. EVER. Other than the first two meetings (essay intro lecture, PT intro lecture), I deliberately keep the agenda flexible and open-ended so that I can ensure that I resolve any questions you might have.

Essay and Performance Test Strategy
Using Past Exams for Present Success

If you’re at this part of the web page, it’s because you already know the best California bar exam prep strategy: practicing exams always beats long-term memorization that you’re going to forget anyway. Good job!

At the three tabs below, you will find Baby Bar Essays, Cal Bar Essays, and Cal Bar PTs from 2002 – 2011. (Baby Bar and Cal Bar exams from 2012 – present are located here.)

The Cal Bar Performance Tests located here (and on the Cal Bar’s website from February 2012 – February 2017) are from the older, 3-hour exam format. They are useful to identify PT exam types, and to see how PT issues are implicated, but you should not use them for practice exams since they are twice as long as the current 90-minute format.

Since you’re here, want some help to figure out which essays to use? Which PTs to use? And how to maximize point generation?

As a California bar exam tutor, Steven’s essay approach is unique within the industry because he covers all three components of essay writing: issue spotting, rules, and presentation. And Steven invented a brilliant strategy in June to avoid Scrolling Hell in outlining essays.

Digital Scratch Pad? Who needs a stinkin’ Digital Scratch Pad? Maximizing and minimizing continually while writing an essay?

Not here!

Other California bar tutors complicate their programs with highlighters, folding sheets of scratch paper, and hundreds of paper clips. Why? You’re here to generate points, not do origami!

My tutoring techniques focus on what’s important: saving time, avoiding Scrolling Hell on the PTs, and—most importantly—passing the California bar!
