Welcome back to the Bar Exam Toolbox podcast! Today, we're talking about how to know who or what you can trust when preparing for the bar exam, and why it's important to go all in with an approach once you've decided to trust it.  In this episode, we discuss: Evaluating what works best for your learning style and life situation Where to get practice materials and feedback Can you test a course before you purchase it? Assessing how you're spending your study time and if it’s working Focusing on one topic at a time Trusting the process and sticking with it through tougher days How other people can help if you've hit a roadblock Resources: Practice of the Week (POW) MBE Workshop (https://barexamtoolbox.com/practice-of-the-week-pow-mbe-workshop) Writing of the Week (WOW) Bar Essay Workshop (https://barexamtoolbox.com/writing-of-the-week-wow-bar-essay-workshop/) Private Bar Exam Tutoring (https://barexamtoolbox.com/private-bar-exam-tutoring/) AdaptiBar (https://www.adaptibar.com/) Lean Sheets (http://www.leansheets.com/) SmartBarPrep (https://smartbarprep.com/) Themis Bar Review (https://www.themisbar.com/) BARBRI (https://www.barbri.com/) Critical Pass (https://criticalpass.com/) Kaplan (https://kaplan.com/) Podcast Episode 9: Mastering the Performance Test (w/Doretta McGinnis) (https://barexamtoolbox.com/podcast-episode-9-mastering-the-performance-test-w-doretta-mcginnis/) Download the Transcript (https://barexamtoolbox.com/episode-77-who-and-what-to-trust-for-bar-exam-prep/) If you enjoy the podcast, we'd love a nice review and/or rating on Apple Podcasts (https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/bar-exam-toolbox-podcast-pass-bar-exam-less-stress/id1370651486) or your favorite listening app. And feel free to reach out to us directly.
