Survived the Georgia Bar
Georgia one day attorney exam. Due to my work schedule I was not able to sit down and work through old practice exams. Instead, I listened to virtually every single one of the podcasts here. I will not know until October the outcome, but I do feel confident because I was not surprised by anything in the essays and I felt comfortable answering each question and I was not rushed. I owe it to what I learned on this podcast. Not just substantive law, but the approaches to taking the test, and the invaluable insight into how to maintain my mental health going through this process. I cannot think this podcast enough.

Thank you!
Really appreciative of yall for putting together such a comprehensive and easily digestible, free resource. I’ve listened to like a hundred of these episodes while driving or walking around my neighborhood to study while I do things. Really can’t thank yall enough.

Great
I appreciate how the listen and learn episodes go reasonably in depth on a certain topic then give several examples.
Great for passive studying, like listening running errands, working out, or driving

Really informative
Love these podcasts — especially bc I can listen while driving/exercising.

Really helpful, even before starting bar prep!
I’m using this to help me prepare for upcoming classes and get some familiarity with topics ahead of time. The listen and learn episodes with the rules and hypos are super helpful, and I’m basically going to have this podcast on repeat until my fall semester starts.

Great Supplement
I love listening to the listen and learn series while I’m on long drives. It makes it so my drive time isn’t “wasted” time during bar prep. And I love that the way they explain topics is slightly different from my bar prep materials. For me, the differences and similarities help cement the abstract concepts and identify the necessary black letter law. Plus, the way they strip past bar exam essays down to just the specific topic discussed makes digesting the analysis easier when you’re first broaching a specific topic.
Thanks for this great supplemental resource!

So Helpful!
I’ve really enjoyed listening to these so far. My bar review course is great, but the episodes I’ve heard so far help with some of the smaller things they don’t cover—like how an exam actually gets graded. I’m excited to have this extra resource-it feels like people in my corner!

Great resource
Awesome resource for working or busy individuals who need to study or review while on the go. This working mom was able to pass the bar using this supplemental resource. Thank you!

An amazing resource for nailing down concepts
So happy I found this podcast in my last month of studying this summer. It really helped me understand concepts better in a digestible way that the big study programs don’t really do. I would listen to them on walks or while cooking and they really stuck, multiple times on the exam I thought, “wow I’m so glad I just listened to that episode on this”. So thankful this podcast exists, it’s a great resource for exam content but also tips that others don’t discuss like budgeting, working and other personal aspects of taking the bar. Highly recommend!

I tried!
I have been trying to love this podcast for years, from before I started law school to now studying for the Bar. Women owned, women made, a great concept…But for my ADHD brain? It’s too boring! The speaker is SO monotone I may as well listen to a class lecture. There’s nothing clever or funny to make the information stick, no conversation, barely a change in intonation, it actually puts me to sleep.

Excellent
Excellent supplement to your commercial bar resource. Fits seamlessly into your study lifestyle, whether driving or exercising. Love the MPT approach episode(s). This podcast will improve your overall confidence, which is essential to maximizing your performance on the exam :)

Strong recommend!
I’ve listened (and relistened) to a good pile of these podcasts, and the sister podcast (Law School Toolbox). I realized I enjoy kinesthetic learning, and can recall the explanations and fact patterns with a memory of what I was doing while I listened, and get to move my body at the same time (bonus for bar prep!)
I also have used the website versions, with the substantial links and relationship building between the bite sized “listen and learn” and explanation series.
As a bonus, the life tips and study tip s are grounded and practical, and the ladies have a familiarity that makes me feel like they have my (a stranger) best interest in mind.

Fantastic way to supplement your bar prep!
I listen to a lot of podcasts and unfortunately it didn’t occur to me to look for a bar prep podcast until well into my studying. Don’t make my mistake! The podcasts are really useful to supplement whichever prep course you’re using and often the framing was a different/helpful approach to the various elements and tests. Listening to the hosts talk through hypos is another great way to see the concepts applied to a fact pattern!

So Helpful
This podcast has been immensely helpful to me as someone who is working full time while studying for the Attorney’s Exam as an out of state lawyer. I listen to these while I drive and do chores and I am very appreciative of their work!
Ttttyyyyyyy
Great study aid
I am taking the California attorney exam in July while running a solo practice, being a mom to three kids (the kind that chaperones field trips and organizes playdates), and having a ton of other stuff going on in my life, including a parent in end stage heart failure. This podcast is such an amazing addition to my limited study tools and is literally doubling my study time. It allows me to review subjects while driving, exercising, and doing chores, and it clarifies rules beyond what’s in the outlines in the review book I’m using. The podcast is fantastic for recent grads, especially those who can’t study full time, and beyond useful for those of us who have been out of law school for years and don’t remember much about the rules tested on the exam.

Very underrated
Passed the bar and can finally delete this podcast, but I feel guilty doing so, lol. This podcast was so clutch and instrumental in me passing the bar. Would listen to it on the way to study and on the way home.

Great supplement for essays
Love this podcast — I listened when I was folding laundry, going for walks, or when doing work around the house and felt the need to get more studying in. I felt that the Bar Exam Toolbox gave such a thorough discussion of individual topics and gave a great overview as to how to approach the essays on the bar, even better than my bar review course. I felt more confident on my essays because of the detailed attack plans I had in my back pocket.
I also utilized this tool for assistance in understanding certain areas of law to supplement my MBE studies.
This podcast is an amazing resource for bar studying and helped me pass my second state! Thanks, Bar Exam Toolbox!

Their podcast is more helpful than their tutoring services
Negative feedback for Bar Exam toolbox:
Hi all, just wanted to post on here that I had a pretty bad experience with BET despite their seemingly helpful podcast. I hired a tutor for last July and failed. Granted, I am well aware it wasn’t a guarantee to pass with a tutor, however, I felt absolutely no investment in my success whatsoever from them. When I failed, I didn’t as so much as receive an email from them. It was as if I had disappeared as soon as my sessions had run out with the tutor.
I’m posting on here in case anyone was looking to hire them, I’d reconsider if I were you. It’s seriously such an awful feeling to have spent all that money and start at zero again but I am determined to do this on my own now more than ever. I am posting this review here because I tried to leave an honest testimonial but their website wouldn’t let me at all.

Top Notch
Their Podcasts were an extra tool in my study toolbox, and I have to say they were instrumental in helping me pass the California Attorney’s Exam July 2022. I’ll be forever grateful and will encourage anyone looking to take the Bar Exam any jurisdiction to listen to as many of their Podcasts as possible and re-listen as often as can as they are packed with information but presented in an easy to understand succinct manner.

Passed the July 2022 Bar
I passed the July 2022 bar exam on my first try and I have to thank the bar school tool box for their podcasts. I listened to their podcasts throughout law school and during bar prep. They make things so much easier to understand. I recommended it to all of my friends.

Fantastic Prep Tool
I’m studying for the bar after 13 years out of practice and six kids, and this podcast is perfect for substantive review on-the-go as well as giving great guidance on how to approach the bar. Thanks so much for this amazing resource!

Efficient, informative & strategic
I cannot give enough praise to Bar Exam toolbox for all the work that Lee, Allison & all the tech team have done to offer this resource for bar prep. I found the California essay series especially helpful. The rules were stated clearly & efficiently phrased so I found they stuck with me. There are tips throughout the essay explanations too. I also listened to listen & learn series topics throughout law school & reviewed selected topics for the bar. Thank you thank you!

Thank you!
This podcast has been amazing while studying for the Georgia Bar. Especially because everything is applicable to the topics for the MBE portion. I’m super thankful to listen to these in the car/on a walk/etc. and the hosts do such an amazing job explaining all of the rules in concise clear statements! I listened to every single episode!

So helpful!
Succinct, very helpful, and a creative way to learn for bar-takers. Thank y’all so much for what you do!

Great Bonus Studying
Really helpful to have short and sweet refreshers on the majority of topics when taking a “break” throughout bar prep studying. I wish you all included trusts, wills, secured transactions, etc. for more MEE topic coverage! Still a great addition, though.

Great!
I found the civ pro episodes to be especially helpful. Thank you!
madchand
Thank you!
This podcast helped me pass the bar exam. Like other reviewers, I listened to this podcast while commuting, walking, and doing daily chores. Listening helped ease anxiety I had about not studying 24 hrs a day. It was a fantastic supplement to my bar prep.

Perfect
I love this podcast. It’s great if you’re an anxious test taker. They speak calmly and are positive and reassuring while delivering easy to follow essay analyses. Thank you!!

Great learning tool
I use any break during the day and before I go to sleep to listen.THANKS!!!

This podcast makes me feel sane when overwhelmed with the bar prep.
I listen to this podcast during lunch and dinner, sometimes even in the shower. I noticed that while I am listening to it, I don't have that constant anxiety and feeling that I am always missing something as I do when listening to my bar prep course lectures. I think the subjects are clearly explained, and the substance is easily memorized/understood by how it is given in the podcast. I am very happy to have this ancillary source during my bar prep!
I recommend it to all my fellows taking the bar :)

Love This Podcast!
These ladies know what they are talking about. What a wonderful resource.

A great resource
I can’t believe this podcast is free. I am getting licensed in a second state and not paying for a full commercial bar prep program this time. This is such a helpful and great supplement to my other studying. Thank you!

Thank you thank you!
I passed the Jul CA bar exam and would like to thank you for your help! I was listening to your podcast for 2 months while walking, cooking, eating, brushing teeth, and in between studying. I found your structure extremely helpful - theory and then immediately applying theory. Supplementing studying with listening to your podcast helped me understand many topics I struggled with. And your tips on PT we're great too.

Wonderful and concise resource!
So grateful to have access to these podcasts. It’s rare to be able to hear such poignant analysis on these topics. Great hypotheticals. Great nuanced explanations. Really enjoyed both speakers and their presentations.

Bar Exam Success
Your Listen and Learn Series is an excellent bar exam study tool. I listened to every one of them while driving and working out and they were invaluable tools in helping me pass the July 2021 exam!! Thank you thank you thank you.
Joepaxton15
Great bar study tool
Will I ever listen to this after the bar? NO haha. Was it extremely helpful in studying for the bar. ABSOLUTELY YES!! It is great that the podcasts are broken up into small chunks. You can choose exactly what you want to hear. A great reviewing tool for when your are driving, eating lunch, or going on a walk so you don’t have to stare at your computer screen anymore. Great work here.

Listen now!
Bar exam anxiety has officially set in for me so I decided to search for a bar prep podcast. I found the one and have already shared with my friends/classmates and posted on Reddit. I HIGHLY recommend. Finally learned what easements are in 10 minutes!

Great supplement and reinforcement to Bar studies
These well-planned and thorough podcasts are such a great supplement to regular bar studies. The Listen and Learn series really helps with particular legal issues, and I also find the podcasts on things like panic, stress, tips for taking an online exam extremely helpful in my prep. Thanks for the great content!
