Testimonials
"I thought Open Book Bar Prep was a well designed bar review course that caters to the student. The strategies allowed me to take on any fact pattern with confidence. The one on one sessions gave me insight as to the thoughts of a bar grader and improved my writing ability immensely. Bobby is a great instructor—the combination of me working hard and following his methods, allowed me to pass the bar with ease.”

"I took the Open Book prep course for the Baby Bar a few months ago and it was the best thing I ever decided to do. It helped me to know how to answer the questions, use the facts correctly, write my essays in a correct format and structure that the bar examiners can easily understand what my essay is about. Open Book gave me the confidence and ability to tackle any fact pattern and I am happy to say with the help of the course, I passed! Open Book also gave me the confidence, ability and understanding to apply the same methods to the finals of my law courses in law school."

“The formula for passing the California Bar Exam should include Open Book Bar Prep with Bobby. His passion and dedication for helping students pass rubs off...you become passionate about the exam and dedicated to passing it!”

"I'm so glad I signed up for Open Book Bar Prep.  Bobby's unique strategies helped me understand what I was doing wrong on past bar exams and how to improve my scores.  No other course has offered me the individual attention and no other tutor has cared so much about my success other than Bobby—I know that’s how I passed the bar!"

“At first, I signed up for Barbri.  I went through years of law school just fine, and witnessed many people pass the bar. So, I thought 'hey, I'll pass too.' Barbri has the materials, but lacks the knowledge on how to PRESENT it. Bobby knows not only how to present the information, but also works with you every step of the way ensuring your potential is maximized.”

“This course is so effective because the instructor, Bobby, is passionate about the bar exam in a supportive yet engaging environment.”

"Studying for the bar with Bobby as my tutor was actually a fun experience.  Bobby is a motivating and positive tutor who aided me during a tough time when it seemed like the studying process would never end.  The time spent studying was geared towards quality time rather than the quantity of time spent studying.  I would recommend Bar with Bobby to all future bar takers.
 
When studying for the bar exam, I had to make decisions as to where I would study on a daily basis until I enrolled in Bar with Bobby.  The course allows students to have a set place to go to every day to study.  It allowed me to leave my books at the study site rather than carrying a load back and forth.  The studying environment is great because you are never alone and others are there to share the hardships along with you.  It kept me sane during a tough 2 months of my life."

"I took the bar exam prep course offered by Open Book Bar Prep for the July 2009 CA Bar exam. Bobby - who is the driving force behind this institution - has the "magic formula" to help bar exam applicants pass this challenging exam. The "magic formula" entails: study room with 24-7 access, bar exam subject outlines, library, Bobby's own simple and easy-to-use approach to essays and PTs. His constant demands to be there on time and to stay on schedule even if it "kills" you (he never gives up--be prepared to get a phone call from Bobby if you are not at your desk, as scheduled). At Open Book you receive the daily personal attention needed to help you pass!

First, I was very sceptical about Bobby's simple and easy-to-use approach to essays and performance tests... and, more importantly, worried whether it would work or not!  You might ask, why? Well, because it was so easy that I thought it couldn't be that easy!  Needless to say, my worries turned out to be meaningless; Bobby's methods DID work! I passed the bar exam!

Therefore, I highly recommend Open Book Bar Prep to anyone who has both the desire and determination to pass the California Bar exam."

"Dear Bobby,

You really helped me get my act together.  You got me out of bed and motivated me. Your lectures were straight forward and to the point.  Your coaching was exactly what I really needed. 

Thank you Bobby."

"Open Book Bar Prep does a great job preparing students for the Bar Exam. They stress the use of all the facts on the essays and the importance of an excellent outline. These tools really helped me get through the essays with passing marks. Bobby's performance tactics are wonderful and really allow you to focus on the important things that the PT is testing. For the MBE, Bobby tells his students to highlight all the answers, and by doing so you learn the law and know why each other incorrect answer is wrong.
 
I highly recommend Open Book Bar Prep. The classroom atmosphere of studying at Open Book Bar Prep is wonderful and really allowed me to have a place to go everyday to focus and build a successful routine.
 
Thank You Bobby for a Wonderful Class. "
