“I passed the Virginia Bar Exam thanks to The Study Group
Bar Review Course. I have a husband and two small children who demand
a lot of my time. Your home study course provided me with the all
of the materials that I needed as well as a complete schedule which
allowed me stay focused and work at my own pace, while still spending
quality time with my family. I took BarBri while preparing for the
CA bar and I completely recommend The Study Group Bar Review over
BarBri. Thanks again. “
Paula Heard, Vienna, VA
“You really are the ‘personal bar review’ as your motto says. I felt like I could call or write anytime.”
Jennifer Olinger, Alexandria, VA
“Just wanted to let you know that I passed the February 2000 Virginia Bar. Wish I had used the Study Group for the July 1999 exam instead of Bar Bri. Thank you for all your help.”
Tammy Garvey, Reston, VA
“You have a winner with The Study Group. After taking the VA exam three times with no success, your course proved to be what I needed from the beginning.”
Lloyd Griffin, Rome, GA
“Folks, Thanks so much for helping me pass the July VA bar exam! One of the best features was the convenience – no need to attend classes – also the StudyPoints were very helpful, as was the Essay Trainer strategy.”
Jaye Tani, Vienna, VA
”I never got around to thanking you for helping me pass. I am convinced that your curriculum and emphasis on how to write an essay (and your 4 step process) made all the difference. Thanks again!”
Andrew D. Kessler, Arlington, VA
“I liked the way the syllabus was laid out very much. But my favorite thing about the course was the availability of the directors and staff. Service was exemplary.”
Patricia Dzuiba, Va. Beach, VA
“I just wanted to be at home, study and pass. With all the past test questions supplied, all the essays that Mr. Hamrick graded and all the information in general, I quickly gave up my worry about not using Barbri and became comfortable with my own routine at home. I did my part and studied according to the schedule that was sent to me. The Study Group did their part and prepared excellent tapes and text to study by. I took the time I saved by not driving up to Richmond everyday and used it to go on much needed long runs. I passed the bar exam. Thank you, Mr. Hamrick, for your part and your course's part in helping me pass. I would gladly recommend your course to anyone.”
Melinda F. Seemar, Chesterfield, VA
“The lectures were all very good and very detailed in covering the material. I found the outlines to be very good; in fact they were much better than the outlines I have seen from [other bar reviews]. I would definitely recommend The Study Group to other law students. I felt the sample essay questions were a huge benefit; in fact 3 of the topics on the written VA bar were almost identical in issue to the practice essays.”
Paul Johnson, Wise, VA
“Thanks! My friends taking bar review at the law school kept trying to make me feel guilty because I chose a home course that they felt wasn’t as high quality as their course. I fooled them! I passed a difficult Virginia Bar on the first try after a course that was more convenient and cheaper. I studied at my own pace and didn’t have the group-fear atmosphere of a law school-based course.”
Connie Kuykendall, Stuart’s Draft, VA
“I passed! Very good! I could work at home on my own time, Easy access to help on the 800 number.”
Lanis Karnes, Va. Beach, VA
“I found your cassette tape instruction and your e-mail approachability to be most useful and appreciated being able to just e-mail you my essays for critique. It was so handy, it made studying for the bar a bit less stressful! The tapes were excellent, easy to follow, and handy to use during the morning and afternoon commute.”
Susan Fall, Va. Beach, VA
“Excellent Value. I wish they had this for my law school courses!”
Ellen Clemente, Herndon, VA
“I passed! I found the integration of the state-specific VA material very interesting and ultimately very helpful. The personalized essays are also a good idea. The course contained ample content and worthwhile tips. Keeping up with all of the lectures and assignments takes a great deal of time, but the intensity of the program ultimately serves the exam taker very well in the end.”
James Campbell, Fairfax Station, VA
“I could not have passed the bar exam without your materials. I had very little knowledge of Virginia law, having graduated from law school in Florida. The review materials were comprehensive, factual, up-to-date and easy to understand. . . The sample essay, multiple choice, and short answer questions were excellent preparation for the actual bar exam . . . It was also helpful to know that you were available and provided prompt response to questions.”
Mable Smith-Pittman, Chesapeake, VA
“I am pleased to tell you that not only did Yvonne and I pass the Bar Examination this past February but the actual taking of the examination was markedly different than last July. We were calm, we knew the material and were so comfortable with each subject area that we were confident that we would be able to at least adequately address any essay that may be thrown at us. The way that Bar/Bri was set up we had ten days between our last classroom lecture and the bar exam, ten days to KNOW 26 subjects that were fair game for the bar. A daunting task and one I can tell you that did not create a very healthy state of mind...With The Study Group Yvonne and I were able to work part-time, study and still manage to have a social life. The Study Group emphasizes quality of study time while Bar/Bri kills you with quantity...“
Yvette Nageotte, Stafford, VA
“Course is organized very systematically. . . Personal assistance is never more than a phone call away. . .Given the overall quality of the course, I’m not quite sure why anyone would choose to waste time chasing to the local Bar/bri lecture.”
Gregory Discher, Great Falls, VA
“The most helpful part was being able to move through the materials at a quicker pace when necessary. . . I appreciated the prompt attention I received whenever I had a problem.”
Mark Kelly, Va. Beach, VA
“The service The Study Group provided was excellent. I highly recommend them . . . With The Study Group at-home preparation course, I never missed a lecture due to inclement weather. I controlled the lecture schedule and could listen to the tapes in the comfort of my own home, even when the snow was piled four feet high . . . ”
Alice Zent, Leesburg, VA
“Excellent. [I liked best the] Multistate Tips and Tricks and Subject Highlights (all in the same book), the practice exams and questions, and the personal attention to problems and excellent access to individual assistance.”
Vince Bonzagni, Annandale, VA
“With The Study Group’s help, I passed the Virginia bar exam the first time around while maintaining an active plaintiff’s personal injury practice with my firm. The Study Group provided me very responsive and helpful personalized service.”
Jon Katz, Washington, DC
“Very good. Obviously it was worthwhile to take the course because I ended up passing a very difficult (VA) exam. And this is coming from someone who has practiced law for five years in another state. Schedule was excellent in order to maximize studying time in most efficient manner.”
Doug Milman, Long Beach, CA
“Every question and need I had was quickly answered and taken care of.”
Tim Barrett, Virginia Beach, VA
“It prepared me very well for taking the bar . . . I liked going at my own pace and setting my own schedule while still having a guide for study . . . Support from Stan Hamrick always available and always pleasant.”
Dillina Stickley, Bridgewater, VA
“I would definitely recommend this course . . . My calls were always promptly and courteously handled; the test essays I sent in seemed to be thoughtfully and thoroughly analyzed.”
Jennifer Shirkey, Harrisonburg, VA
“It was very helpful, organized...excellent lectures. Easy access to Stan [Hamrick] for encouragement and advice.”
Shana Arnold, Quantico, VA
“I passed, I passed, I passed! The Study Group engendered a sense of confidence Barbri never did... Should I ever need a bar review course again, The Study Group will get my call!”
Guy Dezarn, Alexandria, VA
