BAR EXAM 101, a Los Angeles based California Bar Exam Tutoring Company, taught exclusively by Patrick Lin, a former grader for the California Bar Committee of Examiners (passed California in 1998, Nevada in 2005, and Arizona in 2005) will guide you on how to pass the California Bar Exam, from the unique perspective of having sat and passed three separate state’s bar exams and having seen how grades are handed down. Our tutors' unique approach isn’t just a series of gimmicks and charts, but rather, true insight into how the graders think, what the graders look for, and what is required of you to pass the bar. Whatever program you opt for, BAR EXAM 101 can help you gain insight into how to deconstruct what you are doing wrong and reconstruct the proper way of writing and attacking each question.

Bar Exam 101's series of programs suits candidates of different needs. From intense one-on-one private tutorials, to customized programs which often includes detailed essay review, to web-based classes specifically geared towards Performance Tests, we can tailor the right program to suit your needs and budget. Unfortunately, given our commitment to quality, some of our programs are very limited and candidates are screened to ensure that you can benefit from our program.

Under the “Sample Graded Answer” button below, you can find samples of previously graded essays. As you can see, we believe detailed written responses greatly enhance a candidate’s learning experience. In our grading approach, we not only comment on the deficiencies, but provide suggested responses as well.
