Passed the CA bar exam (Feb 2026) with BarMax’s assistance!
I passed the CA bar exam (February 2026) after failing the July 2025 exam. I am a licensed attorney barred in Minnesota. Prior to the 2025 test, I had signed up for BarMax bar exam test prep course, and it prepared me well for the MBE (I achieved a passing score) but I didn’t adequately prepare for the essays. When I decided to retake the exam, I signed up for a tutor who provided invaluable guidance on essay structure and advice on the subject matter areas to study (shout out to Melissa!). Having a tutor kept me accountable to do practice essays, and helped me to study in the most efficient and effective way. Celeste and Melissa provided great guidance that helped make the difference. I was able to pass while having a full-time job, 4 kids and being 20 years removed from law school. Thanks BarMax!
