Steven’s program was instrumental in my success on the California Bar Exam – following his suggested agenda along with the program’s content allowed me to effectively digest the necessary materials and kept me honest in the short time I had to prepare to study. I strongly recommend the program to anyone who needs to pass the bar exam with only a short window to study — Foreign Educated Attorney, Esq., passed the February 2021 California Bar Examination

Steven Harris has an outstanding bar tutoring program that helps repeat bar takers like myself pass! I appreciated his three-pronged approach to the bar exam with the MBE’s, Essays, and PT’s. Steven provided a great approach to how to best complete essays (especially for Evidence, Civil Procedure, and Professional Responsibility). He gave me a lot of feedback on my essays and PT’s, and sometimes the feedback was longer than what I had originally written in my essay. His MBE pointers also helped me avoid traps that usually come up in MBE’s. Finally, Steven’s Essay Review Week and Memory Work programs are especially helpful in preparing for the bar, which ultimately helped me pass the bar this time! Overall, Steven is not only a great tutor who knows what he’s talking about (and can back it up too!), but also an even better person with a great personality. Plus, bonus points: he’s a big Harry Potter and California Golden Bears fan (Go Bears!). — Golden Gate alum, Esq., passed the February 2021 California Bar Examination

Professor Harris’s class and books were instrumental in my bar passage. His clear methodology for essays made me feel more confident in my ability to organize my writing. On the exam I was able to apply what I had practiced and not waste time. Additionally, Professor Harris gave incredibly thoughtful insight into the bar process as a whole such as how to stay healthy and prioritize what matters. I am incredibly grateful for Professor Harris’ help and passed the first time! — Hastings alumna, Esq., passed the February 2021 California Bar Examination

I failed the October 2020 bar and immediately sought Steven’s tutoring services to take the February 2021 bar six weeks later. His materials were great at distilling a large volume of information into smaller, easier to memorize, bite size parts. His method teaches you exactly what the bar graders are looking for when grading your exam—a key to passing! — Hastings Alumna, Esq., passed the February 2021 Cal Bar Exam

Steven Harris’ program was really made for passing the bar exam. For the essays, the program breaks down the essays into memoizable, ready-to-use rules and clear structures for essay formatting so that you can churn out passing essays without the guess work. For the multiple choice, the program breaks down each subject into topics with tables that are easy to follow and help you understand the nuance in the rules. I think Steven does the best job in teaching for the performance test. It actually really explains what the test is looking for and how to review the library properly for all the information you need. In general, I think the course is great at cutting through all the nonsense and getting at the heart of what the bar is looking for in order to pass with the least amount of stress. Although I live on the East Coast, Steven had no problem using Zoom and accommodating the time zone difference. Finally, it was not easy adapting to the idea of jumping into bar study again after getting the bad news about the October exam. Steven was patient and understood how much of studying was about the test taker’s mental state and even tailored the course to help me ease back into studying when I wasn’t too keen on it initially. — Big Law, Esq., passed the February 2021 California Bar Examination

The only regret you will have about Steven’s program is that you did not hire him sooner!

As a repeat bar taker, you must explore what strategy will be most effective to pass the exam, as your prior strategies did not work.  At the same time, you must remain engaged, mentally strong and positive during the stress of studying again for the bar exam. Repeating the bar exam can feel overwhelming.  It is challenging to remain positive about an exam you have previously failed.  Steven Harris’ use of self with his humor, honesty, directness, and knowledge will help alleviate emotional stress about studying, while at the same time, providing you with a streamlined effective approach to passing the California bar.

I struggled with time management on my previous bar attempts.  I did not effectively complete PTs and Essays within the time allotted. Steven’s program focuses on writing concisely and using streamlined rule statements.  I completed so many essays in a simulated test environment that by the time the actual bar exam occurred, I felt like it was another day of practicing at home!  Complicated topics became simplified with Steven’s WINNIN’ TIME! book that breaks the material down into “digestible” material you can easily IRAC for the bar graders.

During my bar studies, I struggled with one particular Real Property Exam and I’ll never forget that Steven said to always remember that the subject matter will not get to you as long as you approach each essay in the same methodological way.  He compared it to wine as I told him I like wine.  Steven said that you may have a merlot you don’t like (i.e., Real Property question about Equitable Servitude) but hey it is still wine, you got this!  When I took the bar and passed this time, there were certain topics within a subject, I did not particularly care for or anticipate being on the exam.  However, I remembered the Real Property essay I wrote for Steven, breathed, and stuck to Steven’s format.  I did not let the subject matter throw me off.  Further, during Essay Review Week, you will see so many essays and review them which is great preparation for the bar exam.

Steven’s PT program is easily one of the best investments you can make in your studies. Steven will teach you how to cover the broad material and present it to the graders in the 90 minutes provided.  I did not let the overwhelming amount of online material get to me as I practiced over and over again using Steven’s approach and utilizing the permissible blank scratch paper.

Steven’s program helped me improve my MBE score by looking for the patterns and similar ways the Bar tests on issues.  Steven has a book for the MBE (MBE Primers and Flowcharts) that has flowcharts which are absolutely a game changer!

Steven’s program simply works.  If you want to pass the bar exam, stay focused, stay positive, stay determined, and stick to Steven’s program to generate points! — UC Irvine Law Repeater, Esq., passed the October 2020 Cal Bar Examination

I cannot thank Steven enough for helping me pass the California bar exam. It would have been difficult without him as I worked full time and was a foreign applicant. We started to work on the study plan in January and then – the lockdown began. We amended the schedule two more times, which means that Steven spent many more hours on preparing me for the exam than initially planned. He was very accommodating and adjusted the study plan to my changing personal situation, welcoming the first child in my family shortly before the exam. His teaching methods work – they require a lot of self-discipline, reading, doing the multiple-choice tests and writing essays every week, not to mention the memorization in the last two weeks before the exam. He knows what the exams test and provides this knowledge almost taking you by the hand. Thank you, Steven for all your time and effort! — Dorota, Esq., European Bar Taker, passed the October 2020 California Bar Examination

Tackling the Bar Exam seemed an impossible task. Where do you start? How do you approach studying for such a daunting exam? Luckily, I found Steven Harris.  With Steven’s tutoring program, the Bar Exam became just another exam that any law student could pass.

Steven’s carefully manicured course comes with a customized calendar that breaks down each day of the week with a task list and a time limit for each task.  It took away the burden of deciding when and how to study, and just allowed me to focus on studying.  His Evidence, Civil Procedure and Professional Responsibility boilerplates made me wish to see one of those essays on exam day.

In addition to providing substantial weekly feedback on essays, his streamlined structure for writing essays made exam day mechanical. No time was wasted on frivolous words, instead every essay was systematically written for optimal point generation.

Steven’s course really is the secret to passing the bar exam. I highly recommend you take it! – Christi Forsline, Esq., passed the October 2020 Cal Bar Exam

As I was pondering whether or not to take the bar exam again for the 6th time (last exam being two years ago), I knew I had to do something drastically different this time around.  As a result, I decided to hire a tutor for the first time and started looking for bar prep tutors online.  Out of sheer luck, I ended up on Steven’s website and requested a call back.  From my first conversation with Steven, it was evident that he genuinely cared about whether I passed this exam or not.

Steven then created a very personalized schedule for me to begin almost immediately and even was courteous enough to modify the schedule when the bar exam was moved from September to October (with only 90 minutes’ notice before our next meeting!).  Moreover, every time I talked to him in our meetings, he made sure I was doing okay and not burning myself out.  Just his tone of voice and the way he speaks to you has a calming effect that is really essential during the dark days of bar prep.

Thanks to his personalized schedule, essay/PT grading process, along with his detailed comments, I was able to drastically improve my essay/PT writing skills. Additionally, Steven’s WINNIN’ TIME! book along with the other materials he sends you helped me really simplify and understand the law.

Steven helped me generate as much points as possible and he really does an amazing job in helping you realize that passing is possible and guides you step by step.

I could not be happier with Steven’s services and I would highly recommend his services to anyone getting ready for their first bar exam or to a lost repeater like me. – Southwestern Law Grad, Esq., passed the October 2020 Cal Bar Examination

Steve was instrumental in my success on the California Bar Examination! His method proved to be an excellent strategy for making the material digestible and for giving the bar examiners exactly what they want to see. Through his two books and various handouts, he boils down the information needed to a manageable amount and teaches you how to spot issues and earn points. Steve’s method is a powerful tool that I’m glad I learned! – Alan Khalfin, Esq., passed the July 2008 California Bar Examination
