Past Bar Exam Critiques and The Repeater
What didn’t work for Repeaters before coming to us for help:
scores,
grades,
classroom critiques,
vague critiques,
quantity over quality,
exams not returned,
critiques, no solutions.


Repeaters share their past bar exam critique experiences...

"This ex-bar grader graded the class practice exams during our break, with sandwich in hand, and while students were trying to ask her questions. She graded the whole stack in about 20 minutes, about an exam a minute. When the break was over, she returned the entire pile. It was as if she was being paid per exam. She provided a grade that held no value to me."

"It was so frustrating when he gave me "Just IRAC" "conclusionary" critiques."

"I had repeated the exam for four years when I sought help from a bar grader. What did I receive? More scores. I already had scores for 48 bar essays, and 16 Performance Exams, the last thing I needed was more scores from a bar grader."

"My practice exam answers were given to different graders. Some of my work I got back after several weeks, some I never saw again. I have no idea who lost my answers."

"When I paid him money I did not realize that my exam critiques were going to be classroom critiques. He did not know my name, much less my work."

Paulina Bandy hears your needs and meets your needs. Here is the difference she makes in exam critiques for Repeaters:

A Working Relationship with Paulina Bandy, Esq.

"Responsible Teaching Yields Effective Learning" ---Paulina Bandy, Esq.

Receive the benefits of a working relationship with the person who provides what you need from exam critiques:
(1) You want to be shown how to correct your mistakes because grades alone have not helped you improve;
(2) You want instruction arising out of your body of work, not just the missed issues or grades on a particular exam;
(3) You want someone responsible for their work, instead of anonymous graders, because you want your exam answers returned and you want to be able to ask questions.

Beyond Bar Review^SM does not use graders, issue spotters, or general classroom critiques. Paulina Bandy knows her candidate’s work, and progress, and provides pertinent instruction as a result.

Quality Practice

Before:
Writing exams in volume does not correct weaknesses in and of itself. Candidates often solidify mistakes by writing voluminous practice exams without being taught how to change what they are doing incorrectly. The constant practice of bad habits makes it more difficult for you to overcome when you receive proper instruction from Ms. Bandy.

After:
Quality work is as important as quantity. Paulina Bandy, Esq. provides lessons, beyond bar review, that you parlay into your next practice exam answer.

Limiting the amount of candidates accepted into the program each preparatory period, allows Ms. Bandy to focus on each candidate’s learning experience.

Solution-Based

Ms. Bandy calls exam critiques “Feedback and Solutions” because for each problem, she provides solutions.

Diagnostic, proactive, and sound methodology educates, not merely critiques. Each critique here, is a lesson to be learned.
