Lee Burgess

Hi, I’m Lee Burgess, co-founder of the Bar Exam Toolbox.

Not everyone needs – or wants – private tutoring. Some bar takers prefer to self-direct. Some have a commercial course but want help with one specific weak area. Some want everything bundled without paying for full-service tutoring.

Our courses are built for those people. Get the same expertise as our private tutoring, packaged so you can study on your terms.

We also host the Bar Exam Toolbox podcast – over 2.5 million downloads. The strategies we teach in our courses are the same ones we share on the podcast.

What students say.

“The Brainy Bar Bank, POWs, and WOWs helped me remain in control of my bar prep – and get a handle on the anxiety that took me out of passing the first time. When friends ask what made the difference the second time, I smile and say, ‘know thy self.’ I got control over my studying instead of letting another bar prep program dictate what to do next.”

– Repeat exam passer

“I had taken the traditional bar exam courses, and while they were helpful for condensing law school knowledge, the Bar Exam Toolbox actually provides resources that prepare you for the exam itself – emphasizing practice tests, reviewing your performance, and applying what you learned. I was working full-time while studying, and the easy-to-access resources helped me plan my weekly sessions.”

– Repeat exam passer, working full-time

Courses are self-directed. If you’d rather work with a tutor – for accountability, a custom study plan, or detailed redlined feedback on your writing – that’s our private tutoring path.

Questions.

It depends on your exam and what you need help with. People who need to learn the rules well enough to apply them cold under pressure want RAMP, which comes in NextGen UBE, Legacy UBE, and MBE-Only versions (if you’re taking the NextGen UBE, RAMP for NextGen is the place to start). People who need writing help want WOW + BBB (or just one of them). People who struggle with the MBE want POW. People who want a complete bundle for self-directed prep want Self-Study. The picker section above maps situations to tools.

Yes. WOW and BBB are bundled together at a $45 discount. The Self-Study Program bundles WOW + POW + BBB + RAMP Learning plus more, at a deeper discount. If you want fewer tools, you can buy each one individually.

A full bar review course mostly delivers lectures on substantive law – material you already studied in law school – and charges you several thousand dollars for it. Our courses focus on practice, strategy, and feedback. RAMP is the exception: it does teach the substantive law, but instead of lectures it uses adaptive scaffolding and spaced repetition to drill each rule until you can apply it cold. It pairs well with a commercial course or with our other tools. Our other courses (WOW, BBB, POW, Self-Study) pair with materials like SmartBarPrep outlines for the substantive piece.

Mostly yes. RAMP comes in three versions: NextGen UBE, Legacy UBE, and MBE-Only (for California and other states that use the MBE with their own essays). Each covers exactly the subjects your exam tests. WOW, BBB, and the Self-Study Program have separate California and Legacy UBE versions with the right questions and substantive law for each. POW (the MBE workshop) works for any exam that uses MBE-style multiple-choice questions, since the MBE is the same across jurisdictions.

If you’re motivated and willing to self-direct, yes. The Self-Study Program in particular is designed to give you everything you’d need – schedule templates, weekly assignments through WOW, MBE practice through POW, rule drilling through RAMP, and a tutor-reviewed plan. If you know you need more hand-holding, our private tutoring is the right path.

Access to every course lasts 365 days from purchase.
