[blindlaw] choosing a bar review company

[Tai Tomasi]

I used Barbri prior to the settlement Scott mentioned. At that time, I was unimpressed by the accessibility of the electronic content. The web materials were largely inaccessible, as were the written materials in the app. I could access the video lectures through the app without difficulty, but I couldn't complete many of the online exercises. However, Barbri did send me all of the materials in Braille and accessible electronic format without too much fuss. Essentially, I studied the old fashioned way without any of the online content and daily online practice questions students currently benefit from.

I used Kaplan. I wasn't blown away by the content, and the accessibility of their native applications left a lot to be desired. But they sent me all of the materials in accessible format without too much fuss.
