Crushendo Bar Review Prep Reviews

Update: coming back to this review years later and realizing I haven't updated it since actually taking the bar. With the help of Crushendo I got a score of about 50 points higher than what I needed to pass- this program is legit.

This is a great resource for memorizing the ridiculous quantity of information required by the bar. I like the fact that I can listen to do bar prep materials while I'm driving, walking, doing dishes, whatever. I also like the fact that it is a fraction of the cost of the "big dogs" of bar prep. I used Crushendo for the MPRE and passed the first time around. I will take the bar in 2019, and as long as I put in the study time necessary I have no doubt I will pass. Thanks for bringing good bar prep down into the price range of poor law students like me!

Crushendo has been great for me so far. Love the outlines, love the audio. They keep adding new features (like pneumonic-free attack outlines). The team (including Adam and Grant) are extremely responsive. I feel that the experience I'm having is both the best quality and the best value. Big thanks to Team Crushendo.

P.S. I improved my score by over 20 points!

I passed the UBE the first time and with a cushion. I relied heavily on Crushendo for this and would recommend it to anybody who wants freedom while learning.

Terrific interface and excellent functionality; Crushendo is way ahead of its time and very useful for law school and the bar exam. Not to mention inexpensive!

This is by far, the best bar prep course available. I learn differently, and the benefits that I gained from using crushendo were unmatched in comparison to Themis. There are illustrative examples, practice tests and essays, flashcards, options for audio outlines, and materials for the MPRE exam. I would recommend this bar prep course to anyone and I think it should be highly promoted for students to use during their final year of law school.

I added Crushendo to my bar exam preparation later than I should have. I am adding a new jurisdiction after 18 years of practice. My first attempt at adding this new jurisdiction did not succeed and I amusing Crushendo once again in my current repeat attempt. The mnemonics and memory cue images are helpful and hopefully lasting. UPDATE - unfortunately I did not pass the Feb 24 examination so I will be back at it in July still using Crushendo as part of my MBE preparation. My scores are tantalizingly close to passing. I will get it this time.

I used Crushendo’s 1 on 1 tutoring program for my second attempt at the California Bar! I had 10 private tutoring sessions & if it wasn’t for Crushendo and Adam, not sure if i truly would’ve passed this time. Thanks again crushendo!!!

I can't recommend Crushendo or Adam enough. Crushendo's MBE audio reviews and visual outlines were much more memorable than the MBE materials I got with my full Virginia prep course. I also had two tutoring sessions with Adam, who as friendly and approachable and helped me put together a winning study strategy.

I definitely credit Crushendo with my passing the MBE portion of the exam. Thanks, Crushendo!

Background: 12/21 ABA law school graduate. Due to life circumstances I have had to delay my bar exam and MPRE. I have found the Crushendo suite of products to be incredibly helpful getting me back in study mode with measurable results.

Facts: I completed the Themis MPRE package, added 20% of Helix, read the ABA model rules in book form, and re-read my PR textbook. I got an 83 (3 points shy of passing in California). I realized that the hype of big box companies did not produce acceptable results for the way I process information, and I went entirely in a new direction with 100% Crushendo MPRE prep for Round Two. My August score went up 20 points to 103. What a confidence booster especially since I had been out of the game for a year and a half.

Brilliantly designed, streamlined, and efficient. The innovative yet scientifically grounded methodology uses loci , mnemonics, spaced repetition, audio and written outlines with accessible quizzes and tests that you can take repeatedly for practice and comprehension. No time limit on your access to materials. The study materials are geared to the frequency of testing with a bar graph indicating what concepts in each unit are tested most by the NCBE. This company wants you to succeed. The app has allowed me to do things like commute, cook dinner, stain a fence or clean my house while listening to the outlines. I put in the work doing each quiz 5 times and outlining what concepts I didn’t get initially. The MPRE is no joke and if you don’t want to waste your time, money, well-being, and energy I highly recommend Crushendo. I only wish I had known about this company in law school. I’ll be counting on their products to see me through MBE multiple choice study and plan to use their overall bar
prep for the Nevada bar after I take the California bar exam.

Material provided is fun an easy to absorb. Also, you can use the material as long as you need to.

Crushendo Bar Review is the best to learn law from. The review makes it easier to remember as you learn. The most fun part is that this preparation and learning the law process is very enjoyable. Crushendo is highly recommended for bar preparation. So don’t wait, just join it!!!

I passed the [State 1] bar without a prep class shortly after law school. Twelve years later I needed to take the [State 2] bar to go multi-jurisdictional. The ~$1K I spent on Crushendo was so, so worth it. I probably would have failed had it not been for Crushendo (this time I had 4 kids and ran my own firm). It's a really big deal to be able to listen to bar prep courses while you're pushing kids around in a shopping cart at Wal-Mart or any of life's other mundane activities. Even though I am proof that you don't always need a bar prep class to pass, I would hugely endorse Crushendo. Money well spent. Time saved. Less stress. So worth it.

Had to take the bar exam again due to lack of comity. It was 20 plus years since my last bar. Crushendo got me up to speed and gave good ways of remembering those elements that had fled my mind some time in the ‘90s.

Crushedo helped me pass my 2nd CA bar exam! I would have before if I had used it the first time.

So Affordable!! And for me, it presented the overwhelming amount of information required to pass the UBE BAR exam in a clear and concise way. Also, if you love mnemonics like I do this is the study prep for you!!!

Crushendo’s use of creative mnemonics paired with memorable graphics helped my retention tremendously! Hopefully, I passed, fingers crossed.

I loved this UBE bar prep course! It was very affordable. I used the course while working full-time as a prosecutor in Louisiana for taking the New Hampshire UBE! This course was so helpful and easy to follow. I worked through the outlines and practice tests in evenings and weekend for approximately 3 months and I CRUSHED the bar the 1st try in New Hampshire. I would recommend this course to new attorneys or people retaking the bar while working full-time! I haven’t had to take a bar exam in 26 years, but this course made it simple to understand. The prep tests and materials were awesome.

Crushendo is by far the most practical bar prep. I was working while studying for the bar and it was so helpful to listen to audio outlines on my commute. The app to listen to the audio outlines was really useful and made it easy to listen on the go. I also had access to Themis, but found Themis wasted my time with busy work while Crushendo focused on the meat of the bar exam and provided easy ways to memorize and retain the material using mnemonics. Themis and other bar preps enjoy using scare tactics to whip you into a perfectionist rage and terrify you into studying 24/7 (seriously, I had Themis employees calling my cell phone telling me I wasn't studying enough). Crushendo is much more positive and better for your mental health. Use Crushendo to find a balance between life and bar prep, helping you feel confident in the test without selling your soul. Passed the bar on the first try.
