Everything you need to pass
"Last spring I canceled my account with [another bar review company] (who refused to refund about $500 in my pre-payments -- thanks) and switched my Bar Exam prep course to Themis. After completing the program and passing the Pennsylvania bar exam, I can happily say it was one of the best decisions I made in law school.
Themis made the process easy by providing a system that allowed me to study when convenient. Themis provided a course with knowledgeable lecturers, helpful exercises, and continuous personalized feedback. Every week your practice essays are graded and returned to you with helpful tips and encouragement. They even monitor your progress so you can track your improvement in the various practice essays and MBE questions. Best of all, as a person who asks a LOT of questions I can personally attest that Themis doesn’t farm them out to some call center in who-knows-where. My representative was always there with an answer and responded quickly to any requests. It was great having a person I could count on for those stressful weeks -- thanks Themis!"

“Thank you so much to everyone at Themis for preparing me for the PA Bar Exam. I chose Themis because it was affordable and had a flexible schedule. During my Bar prep, the personal service and attention was my life boat. The regular practice and feedback substantially increased my confidence heading into the exam. With the lectures broken down into short segments, I was able to pinpoint specific subject areas that I needed more improvement in. By exam day, I felt prepared. The work paid off and I passed!! I can't say enough good things about Themis.”

"I chose Themis because of the flexibility it offered. I did not want to go to class everyday and the Themis program worked around my schedule. I particularly liked how the program adapted and made the daily requirements manageable. In addition, the support staff was amazing and very easy to contact. Whether it was a substantive question or in depth analysis of practice essays, I got great advice and encouragement”

“I did not have the luxury of not working during bar review. With my forty hour a week work schedule, I needed a bar review course that would allow me to study on my terms and on my schedule and still learn all the material that I needed to know in order to pass. Themis was designed for this while other courses would have required me to sit in video lecture classes for hours on end. The program also takes into account that we, as law graduates, have been in school a long time and know how to study, what works and what does not work for us. The flexibility inherent in this program allowed me to study in a manner that was the most productive for me individually. It did not force me into a cookie cutter schedule!
If the flexibility and scope of the program weren’t enough, Themis also has an amazing staff. They realize this is an insane time for bar takers, and they are there to make it easier wherever possible. I had multiple people in constant contact with me making sure I was progressing through my studies, checking to see if I had any questions about the program, the exam, and giving me thorough and helpful feedback on the essays I submitted online. I was stressed, exhausted and scared and Themis staff was there at every turn to help me.
At first I was kind of wary of trying this new program, but I am so glad that I did. I didn’t break the bank, I kept my job and I passed the bar. It doesn’t get any better than that.”

“When I first told my fellow law student friends that I wasn't taking [another bar review course] to prepare for the Bar Exam, they looked at me like I was crazy. But why wouldn't I take advantage of a program that was cheaper, more convenient, and had so much more to offer? After making up my mind and following the Themis program, I can wholeheartedly say that I made the absolutely right decision - and the fact that I passed the Bar exam on the first try only reinforces it! I loved the fact that the program catered to my own pace, and I wasn't held back by anyone but myself. I could practice over and over again and quickly learned what my weakest areas were, and was able to focus on them as much as I wished. The different components of the Themis model all combined to form a manageable, efficient method of preparing for the greatest challenge I have faced in my life thus far, and to much success. I couldn't have done it without Themis and the wonderful people behind the scenes, who were always there when I needed someone to talk to, vent to, or just relate to what I was going through. Thank you Themis!”

"In the summer following my graduation from law school I was finishing a master's degree and had to watch my son. I didn't think I would have any way to prepare for the bar exam! Fortunately, I found Themis. I was able to watch video lectures and take practice quizzes at home, while watching my son, and I was able to schedule my preparation around my master's courses. I also found it very helpful that I knew how I was performing at every stage of my studies and could even tailor my preparation to concentrate on the tasks and subjects I needed the most help in. I could not have passed the bar exam without them and have already been recommending them to all of the rising 3Ls from my law school. Thank you Themis!"

“I passed the July 2009 PA bar exam with Themis and wholeheartedly recommend them. I was very impressed with the quality of their course and materials. The Themis Professors were excellent teachers who made complex principles seem easy. Moreover, the shorter chapters in each lecture and assessment questions helped me learn more information faster. I also enjoyed the ability to review lectures multiple times – this was a major benefit to me. In addition, I loved the access to hundreds of practice MBE questions, essays with model answers, the one-on-one essay grading and personalized feedback. I even got a Personal Bar Exam Adviser who reviewed my essay assignments throughout the entire course. Themis offered a truly personalized bar review experience – thanks again Themis!”

“For my bar prep needs, flexibility was paramount, and Themis really delivered. When I started studying for the Pennsylvania bar exam, I had a part time job and a four-month-old daughter at home, so the traditional bar prep method of sitting in a lecture hall for hours at a time just wasn't feasible.
Themis gave me the option to structure my study schedule to fit my free time. The online video lectures allowed me to make full use of every chance I got to study, no matter what time of day (or night).
And the Flex Scheduling option allowed me to tackle the whole range of material from every subject, while really focusing my limited time on the areas that I needed to review the most. Thanks to Themis, my hectic schedule didn't keep me from passing.”

“After researching many different bar preparation programs and options, I chose the Themis program because it was a much better fit for both my wallet and my lifestyle. I did not want to sacrifice quality, but also could not afford to pay more than absolutely necessary. I found that Themis was the best of both worlds. Also, as a night student all through law school, I held down a job. I could not just drop everything to study for the bar examination. Because of Themis’ web-based nature, I found I could tailor my study-time to fit in with my work schedule.
I found the Themis interface very easy to use and also flexible. The feedback from my Personal Bar Exam Adviser was not only invaluable but also very encouraging. As with any test that requires so much preparation, you always start to doubt your ability to get through it and having someone else encourage you and give constructive criticism was so incredibly helpful. The milestone exams and numerous chances to practice written essays were great to help to gauge how I was progressing.
Finally, the ongoing contact from Themis representatives was an unexpected bonus. Themis is really with you every step of the way and the representatives want you to succeed and to reach out to them for help if you need it. I never felt like I was all on my own with this program.
Themis was the only program I used to prepare for the Pennsylvania bar examination and I passed!”

“Themis is the best bar review product on the market. The lectures are concise, the outlines are thorough, and the practice essays are quickly and thoughtfully graded. Based on feedback from my classmates who took another course, I am confident that Themis is highly effective and yet is half the cost. Further, the Themis program offers ultimate study flexibility with on-demand lectures and practice questions, while providing the structure and pacing necessary for an effective study platform.
Themis’s strength is optimizing cost and study time – if you value both, choose Themis. Good luck! And good luck to Themis too. I really did appreciate having an alternative to the traditional bar review course. I wish the Themis team well going forward.”
