BarMax Bar Exam, MBE & MPRE for Negative User Reviews

✓ Any other bar prep course would have been betterUsed BarMax because I was excited about a newer program that was flexible. Failed the UBE by 10 points and honestly I would have done better self studying and I would have saved money. Can not recommend this program less. I wish I had shelled out for Themis the first time around because it is cheaper in the long run to pass the first time. BarMax customer service was incredibly unhelpful and when I asked for my refund I was a few days too late and received absolutely nothing. PAY FOR THE BETTER PREP PROGRAM..Charlotte Anne S.Version: 3.2.2

✓ Really disappointing customer serviceI submitted my public interest application a month ago and have not heard back. I’ve made calls, sent texts, and two emails asking for updates. Still nothing. Today, I finally reached someone on the customer service line who told me she couldn’t answer my question. I also read online that from a review that you would still need to pay additional fees for the lifetime access. If that’s the case, I need to pause my account because I won’t be taking bar exam due to covid. At this point I don’t know who to go to who could answer my questions or address my concerns. I told the woman on the customer service line that I’m worried no one will get back to me once I submitted my payment. She told me to have a great day. Before I paid, people from Bar Max were calling me proactively. Now it feels like no one cares because they took my money already. I wish I could back in time and choose another bar prep company. This is extremely unprofessional..AlovingpeonyVersion: 2020.11

✓ EhI don’t love this app. Barbri has much better explanations. I also have problems with the app loading answers. It seems like they didn’t spend much money to make the app. It needs to be updated. I do like easy accessibility to MBE questions. It’s really nice to have them right on my phone since I have a toddler who makes studying difficult at times. If you have the ability to do problems with Barbri online or with a book, do that instead..ErmettieVersion: 2022.06

✓ The app is decent but doesn’t include all necessary optionsFor example, on the web you can listen in different speed varieties. On the app you can’t. Not sure why.. Also, the columns shift and become really narrow and very much not readable. Again, looks pretty simple to correct. Not sure why not done.JJ TesearVersion: 2019.16

✓ App is disappointingThey have yet to respond to concerns about the app not properly working on iPad Pro, including not showing the entire explanation of reposted due to some glitch. The response- does it work in browser on computer? Yes, but I purchased the APP - not a program for my computer browser - for the MBE questions alone. As a practicing attorney getting licensed in another state, I do not need much. But I need to practice MBE questions. I had a computer program in 2001 that was more efficient and better than this for the MBE! That program worked so that you were given 2,000 MBE questions until you got every one right. This one does not give them to you a second time or have any method in ensuring that you can continue to work on less familiar areas. Not impressed and kinda a waste..Iheart gamesVersion: 2020.09

✓ Great app but no lifetime accessGood program overall. The lectures and access to the MBE bank had the most value of the entire program. Unfortunately, lifetime access doesn’t mean lifetime access. So when I wanted to use the lectures and MBEs again when I sat for another state’s bar... my account was blocked..AldarionVersion: 3.2.5

✓ Umm...this isn't $900This is free........Cheesica cheeseVersion: 3.0.4

✓ Needs ImprovementPros: Good bank of MBE questions with analytics. Some of the lectures are helpful Far less than competitors Cons: Not all the materials are in the app, making it annoying to track things down Some lectures are nothing more than someone reading the outline aloud, which makes them useless The flash cards are a waste of time It's almost necessary to acquire supplemental materials such as more MBE questions, competent flash cards, etc. Bottom line: One could spend the same amount of money and just buy materials for self study..GrubsmackVersion: 3.1.15

✓ Doesn’t track progress unfortunatelyI work full-time as an attorney and purchased this bar prep course because of my on the go lifestyle. I really appreciated what I thought was a convenient model. Unfortunately the app does not accurately track progress. In fact, up to about 40% of the time my progress isn’t reflected! I reached out to Barmax about whether there is some thing I can do to change this or to manually log my progress to keep track, and regrettably there isn’t. This significantly undermines the alleged convenience of the app. Had I known prior to purchase I’m not sure I would’ve gone with BarMax as keeping track otherwise is time consuming. I do hope this is a glitch Barmax prioritizes fixing..Read reviews b4 purchase!Version: 2022.08

✓ Unreliable reference, poor customer serviceTheir offer of “Immediate lifetime access” is so highly conditional as to be borderline fraud. Never believe this may be a useful reference. They will gleefully take your thousand dollars only to randomly lock you out of access, refusing to re-enable it until you meet their demands for documentation from the bar. Think carefully before placing any trust in this company..AdaeonVersion: 2020.18

✓ Almost a scamI passed the bar in NY with another brand and thought I’d save some bucks by using bar max for the CA bar. Bad idea. Bar max provided me with ZERO practice essays, other than the ones CA offers for free online. The outlines they provide are similar to the quality of those you can download off the internet for free - none of the nuance you need to know. Oh, and they claim they have the highest pass rate...but how would they know? They never even asked me if I passed..Wolly WangVersion: 2020.10

✓ Lots of Content Problems for UBE Bar PrepI used BarMax for CA & NY. Passed both 1x. Having said that, if you’re not taking CA I’d stay far away from BarMax. The course is written for CA bar and just edits out material for other jurisdictions. It’s a real nightmare when you’re in the middle of bar prep, eg why on earth is Prop 8 being mentioned in a Evidence outline for UBE. The company shrugged off numerous complaints. I ended up just relying on a used BarBri Conviser Mini Review book and abandoning BarMax halfway through for remainder of my NY prep... which surprisingly is verbatim (yes verbatim!) the BarMax outlines read out loud by their founder, not a law professor, not sure he’s even a lawyer... I swear I wish these companies were regulated by NCBE. I really wanted to make a formal complaint..NeemtreeVersion: 2019.12

✓ Never received product, can’t contact customer supportI purchased the product in October 2022 for the bar next February. Waited until December to start studying because that what their study schedule showed. When I tried to answer the essay questions they wouldn’t let me load. When I tried to answer the multiple choice questions the program stated I need to pay again. I tried the in app customer support and nobody contacted me back. I tried calling the phone number and it’s just and answering machine. You can’t leave a message because the answering machine is full. This might be a scam. I have submitted a charge dispute with my credit card company so let’s hope that works..T with a coughVersion: 2023.01

✓ Needs Improvement!!Improvements needed to make it better: (1) When you listen to a lecture and stop before it ends, the lecture doesn’t pick up where you had left off. It opens up at the beginning of the lecture. Quite inefficient and you lose a lot of time that way. The lectures are helpful background; (2) The only speed for lectures are 1x and 2x. 2x is generally not usable since they talk way too fast and sounds like a foreign language. Be good to have 1.5x as well; (3) For some of the lectures it doesn’t cover the outline. The outline seems to have been more frequently updated than the lectures. Lectures are very helpful since they add background. Disappointed that they don’t update the lectures. Pretty pricey course to have these deficiencies..Sam17025Version: 2023.09

✓ Very deceivingFollowed the directions on the site to apply for the public interest scholarship. 2 days later I was told that I did not qualify for it with no explanation as to why. I did exactly what was instructed which was to send a letter explaining intent to pursue career in public interest and that I would pay it back if I did not follow through. I also sent over a copy of my resume showing I worked a a clerk with the MI AG’s office as will as PD’s office in FL. After I was told I did not qualify I sent over a screenshot of what the website stated. After I sent the email I got a response from Lauren saying she was sorry but I still did not qualify with no explanation. I forwarded all of my communication with her to any email address I could find associated with BarMax. I checked the website again and the added a note to it stating that you may not be approved. I still have the screenshot to show that it was not present previously. While I’m pleased to see the subsequent remedial measures taken, I’m disgusted with the way they operate. I am also glad I found out that they do shady business before investing any of my money at all. Buyer beware..Bullet dodgedVersion: 3.2.2
