About this episode

Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! This episode is sponsored by Themis Bar Review, the gold standard in bar exam preparation. We're excited to have two guests on the podcast -- Jeff Allcorn from UWorld and Rebecca Petrilli from Themis Bar Prep -- discussing their programs and how they can help law school graduates find bar exam success. 

In this episode we discuss:

  • Jeff and Rebecca's background and work in the bar prep field
  • Details on the activities, study schedules, and timelines of the Themis and UWorld courses
  • How a bar prep course can help you see your strengths and weaknesses
  • How many MBE questions should you aim to do before the exam?
  • One thing our guests wish they knew while they were studying for the bar
  • Changes coming with the NextGen Bar Exam
