Mental Conditioning for the Bar Exam

I failed my first bar exam after going through the regular preparatory Bar Course. Words could not describe the frustration, disappointment and self-doubt that plagued me for weeks after I did not see my name on the pass list. The pressures of enormous law school loans, friends and family, and my employer forced me to try again. After extensive research, I found Dan at Peak Performance Preparation and from our first meeting I felt comfortable and confident that this time I would succeed. We used amazing visualization techniques to help my brain learn and retain rules, sub-rules and elements of law and other techniques to help me shed exam anxiety and overall fear of success. The Peak Performance Prep Bar course was a holistic, supportive and inspirational course that was key to my passing the Bar. While going through the course, I did not only learn rules of law, which I can still remember, I experienced wonderful transformations in my personal life. I was absolutely amazed at how calm and collected I felt during my second Bar exam—an enormous difference from my previous experience. I recommend PPP to anyone who is still trying to pass for the 2nd, 3rd or 4th time. Thank you for giving me ammunition to conquer the Bar exam and improve my life!

As a fresh graduate from law school, I was terrified of taking the California Bar Exam.  A friend had heard about Peak Performance Preparation’s amazing results with one of its first students, so I decided to give PPP a try.  I am so glad I did.  From the very beginning, the program’s creators showed amazing confidence in both the effectiveness of their curriculum and in my ability to master it!  Even though we had just met, they were incredibly supportive of my needs (and fears), and quickly created a program adapted to my strengths and weaknesses, and even my schedule.  As a result, I felt completely supported, encouraged, and motivated to study for the Bar.  And wouldn’t you know it, they were right – I passed!
Probably the greatest thing I gained from PPP’s program, besides learning effective memorization techniques and gaining the tools to employ them, was strategies for de-stressing – strategies which I applied frequently during the exam itself.  Without them, I would have been scattered, scared, and hopeless; with them, I felt focused, confident, and even peaceful.  PPP is definitely a one-of-a-kind test preparation agency, and I am forever grateful to them.  I heartily recommend them to anyone looking for a personal and hands-on approach to overcoming a significant hurdle.

Thanks to Dan and the Peak Performance program I passed the California Bar Exam!  As a repeat taker that had struggled with the exam, I was at a statistical disadvantage going in. However, through the techniques I learned at Peak Performance I was in the proper mental state during my preparation phase and the exam.  I felt relaxed and in control of the exam. Peak Performance provided me the tools truly maximize my performance. Thank you !!
