Bar exam prep: a guide for pros
What customers ask, how to win the job, and what to put on your profile.
Offering bar exam prep
You help law graduates prepare for the bar exam, with essay practice, multiple choice drills and a study schedule. Your sessions work best when you review each essay against an issue-spotting method and set weekly goals the graduate can keep.
What customers ask
- Can you guarantee I will pass?
- Do you give legal advice?
- How many practice essays will we do?
- Do you work with my bar review course?
- What should I bring?
- How long until the exam?
How to win the job
- On the first call, ask the graduate's exam date, the bar review course they use, the states they are testing in and their weakest subjects, then say what you will check first
- Run a timed essay in the first session and review it against the official model answer
- Teach issue spotting as a short method the graduate can repeat on any question
- Put the number of sessions, length, essay count, materials and cancellation terms in the quote
- Build a study schedule with weekly goals and check it at each session
- Send a short note after each session with the subject covered and the next set of questions
What to put on your profile
- Your legal background, including your bar admissions and the states where you are licensed, if you are an attorney
- The subjects and exams you prepare graduates for
- Whether you tutor in person, online or both
- Results you can share with permission, without promising a pass
- Any licensing or teaching credentials you hold
Follow-up that helps the customer
- A practice essay schedule for the next four weeks
- A multiple choice session for a subject the practice set showed
- An essay review session before the exam
- A check-in after the exam to plan the next step
Licenses and permits
Bar admission rules are set by each state. If you are an attorney, keep your admissions and good standing current in the states where you give legal advice, and do not give legal advice through a test prep role. Check with your state's bar licensing authority for the rules that apply to you.
Questions
Do I need to be a licensed attorney to tutor for the bar exam?
No, but legal advice is regulated, so do not give it without the right license. A test prep tutor can teach exam skills and say clearly that the work is not legal advice.
How do I handle a graduate who wants me to write the model answer?
Show them how the model answer is built with the issue, the rule and the application. Let them write their own answer and check it against the method.
