BARBRI Extended U.S. Bar Prep reviews & testimonials

"The New York Attorney-at-Law qualification comes with a certain prestige and international mobility. Not only do many employers hold the qualification in high regard, but many also have ties with New York, a prominent global financial hub."

Yewhoan Hong, New York-licensed attorney

"I chose BARBRI as I knew it was the most established bar exam prep course. I selected the BARBRI Extended U.S. Bar Prep course and the BARBRI team helped me through the process of obtaining eligibility as a foreign lawyer to sit the bar exam – a huge hassle in itself! BARBRI lectures, materials and preparation schedule with the BARBRI Extended U.S. Bar Prep course were comprehensive and structured. Despite my late start and having to work full time, I passed with a comfortable 155 MBE scaled score. All thanks to BARBRI."

Sinyee Koh

"I knew I would take the New York Bar Exam because, in my desired field of practice, it was a go-to, especially for big law firms at which I was applying at the time."
