If you’re taking the February bar exam, now’s the time to lock in a study plan that will actually hold you accountable and guide you through every step. BarMD’s Core Bar Prep program kicks off with live sessions on November 15, and it’s designed to give you the structure and support that other bar prep courses typically miss.
What’s Included in the Core Bar Prep Program
The course combines live teaching, accountability, and targeted skill-building across all parts of the exam — the MBE, essays, and the Performance Test. Here’s what’s inside:
- 25 live MBE sessions, where Maureen MacManus walks students through MBE questions, explains traps to avoid, and dives deeper into the law than most programs do.
- 12 live essay workshops, covering two essays in each subject. You’ll see model answers, learn analysis and organization strategies, and get access to additional on-demand videos.
- 6 Performance Test (PT) bootcamp classes, where you’ll write each task live from start to finish, learning exactly how to manage time and structure your response under pressure.
- Guidance on frequently tested issues and common organizational frameworks for each subject area.
You’ll also get clear breakdowns of complex topics and manageable assignments that help you stay on track throughout the study period.
How the Core Bar Prep Program Works
From now through the start of the live sessions, BarMD’s founder Maureen MacManus will guide you through a step-by-step plan for mastering the MBE, essays, and PTs. Each component is broken into smaller, focused lessons designed to build momentum and confidence.
You’ll learn how to read questions the way the examiners expect, identify traps, and apply the law precisely — all while keeping pace with a structured, realistic study schedule.
What Sets This Program Apart
This is the kind of program Maureen wishes she’d had when studying for the bar: one that not only shows you what to study and how to approach each task, but also keeps you accountable along the way.
By starting by November 15, you’ll be ready to join the live classes beginning on November 17 and stay in rhythm with the rest of the cohort.
