I enthusiastically recommend Helix for anyone taking the bar exam. Most topics are presented in video and text forms, and individual building block quizzes help ensure you know the material before testing yourself on each subject. Subjects are broken up into digestible chunks rather than having lectures that cover entire topic areas. I appreciated the diversity of the attorneys and professors teaching each module – it was an unexpected confidence builder to occasionally have someone who looks like me (who had already passed the bar and been successful) teaching subjects. And, of course, the price can't be beat.”

Choosing Helix to study for the California Bar Exam was the best decision I could have made. Besides the fact that it’s offered at an at-cost price and not for profit, the course structure, modules, and essay/PT practice materials were simply top notch. The MBE answer explanations were very helpful. Content was accurate. The Helix Essentials book was fundamental in reinforcing, and it helped to guide my note taking and ultimately served as a master outline I went back to for memorization. My favorite part of the course were the Pass classes and live webinars – they were content-packed and filled with useful tips but were very digestible and fun to attend. I couldn’t be happier with my decision to choose Helix. I passed the California Bar Exam on my first try!”

Helix Bar Review kept me on pace and prepared for the bar exam. The videos were perfect in length and provided an additional layer of understanding. The variety of material kept me engaged and the tracking system kept me motivated. I felt prepared to sit for the exam and my passing score showed that Helix is a manageable and results-driven program. Thank you, Helix!”

Helix's bar prep gave me the tools to succeed on the California Bar Exam on my first try thanks to its personalized feedback, carefully paced study schedule, and enjoyable games to reinforce what I learned. I could not have succeeded without Helix.”

I had previously taken the bar exam with another course and missed the mark by a few points. The whole time I was studying with the other course I felt overwhelmed and unsure if my sticky points were being properly reinforced. With Helix, the video lectures were not overly long and drawn out. They explained everything well without putting you to sleep. The Game Center was my favorite part of this course because it fit my dynamic learning style and I truly felt like it helped me reinforce those sticky points to where I was confident about my ability to answer questions surrounding them. I also used the Helix coach for help understanding on of my graded MPTs. By the end of the meeting, I felt heard, I understood my grade, and I was no longer in panic mode. I truly liked this course ... the learning style is dynamic and the Game Center made it quite fun.”

Bar prep is hard, but with Helix I was able to stay "on schedule" while maintaining the flexibility to adjust what I worked on every day ... sometimes you just don't feel like answering ANOTHER 50 MULTIPLE-CHOICE QUESTIONS. I passed the California Bar Exam on my first try and saved my family thousands of dollars in the process. Sweet deal."

I think I am an outlier when I say this, but I was on my fourth time taking the MPRE and had studied with [two other MPRE courses] before. At this point [I] had passed the bar and the MPRE was the only thing keeping me from being an attorney. I did Helix’s whole program and went from getting scores in the 70s to 106. Helix gave me the tools to finally start my career. So…choose Helix!!!"

Using the Helix MPRE really boosted my confidence and I felt fully prepared when I went into the exam. After the exam, I left feeling good about the effort I put in, and when my score came back, I was very excited that I received a high enough score to practice in any jurisdiction!"

The Helix MPRE course was a great help in preparing me for the MPRE exam. While I was still nervous, I managed to score 22 points higher than the minimum score required by the state in which I plan to sit for the Bar Exam. The best part: the Helix MPRE course was free to use."

The Helix MPRE course had the perfect balance of both text and videos! The text was comprehensive and the videos were great at highlighting the important parts. The study plans provided were great for keeping me on track so that I finished my studying in plenty of time before the actual exam. Finally, the number of practice problems available to you allows you to be prepared for whatever questions the MPRE might throw at you!"

I’m excited about the care that Helix took in designing this course using input solicited from researchers, students, professors, and academic support professionals. Helix is mixing the science of learning with the best doctrinal materials to make high-quality and affordable bar exam study materials available to all.

Helix leverages insights from learning science to foster the types of exposure and retention of information that are critical to bar exam success. Helix is priced without a profit motive, lessening the immense financial strain of bar prep. In the end, it is a game-changing effort to provide high-quality bar exam prep at a fair price.

I'm excited to be a part of innovative competition in the bar review market, especially one that harnesses the advantages of new technology and provides a modular approach to studying the numerous topics tested on the bar exam. Students spend three long years (or more) studying to be lawyers, they need a cost-effective study tool to help them surmount the final hurdle of the bar exam.

We’ve known for a long time that students learn in different ways. Yet, bar materials are, for the most part, offered in limited formats. Helix directly addresses this issue by presenting bar materials in new and engaging formats to reach more students. In many ways, Helix is blazing the path where law schools and pedagogy are headed.

I have followed this project closely from its inception and have consistently been impressed by the thoughtful student-first approach AccessLex is taking to delivering a personalized and cost-effective bar prep program. I feel lucky to have contributed just a small part to this important project.

When AccessLex approached me to work with them, I couldn’t say ‘yes’ fast enough. To work with an organization that is so committed to making legal education and practice accessible to everyone is truly an honor.

In many ways, the legal profession has been historically accessible only to an established elite. There are, however, some groups that are making equity in-roads. AccessLex is one of them. By creating a superior and multi-media bar review program – and offering that program at cost – this non-profit organization is investing in a more diverse, equitable, and just legal profession. I’m honored to be a part of it.

AccessLex Institute’s commitment to improving legal education by removing barriers that block access to law school and the legal profession for students who have historically been underrepresented is what drew me to working with them. I love being involved in their project to create and deliver a bar prep program that’s more affordable to law students.
