Nathan Bartholomew's background
Between being a father of 2 young kids and setting out on a road trip with his family, Nate has his work cut out for him this summer as he prepares for the Washington, DC, bar exam. However, his time at Harvard Law School taught him the importance of discipline and hard work. Nate will be moving out of Boston and embarking on a trip to Wyoming’s Yellowstone National Park. Quimbee Bar Review+’s flexibility and user-friendly apps played important roles in his decision to trust the course to prepare for the bar exam. Nate plans on studying in the early morning and late at night, before and after family time.

Picking the right bar prep provider
Nate needed a flexible bar review course that would allow him to fit studying in with caring for his family and traveling. In addition to appreciating the affordability of Quimbee Bar Review+, Nate decided to prepare for the July bar exam with Quimbee because he’s able to access the course on his tablet through the Quimbee app.
Getting started
After 2 weeks of studying with Quimbee Bar Review+, Nate has discovered a handful of features that he’s thoroughly enjoyed. He appreciates the course’s structured approach, noting how the calendar view lays out topics to be covered each day. He also values the course’s warm-up exercises for all bar exam topics, which allow him to ease into the substantive content effectively. Lastly, Nate found the graded essay particularly beneficial; receiving constructive feedback has been instrumental in his preparation process.
Finishing strong
Nate has completed nearly 75% of Quimbee Bar Review+ heading into the last few weeks of studying before he takes the bar exam. He attributes his diligence and commitment to daily studying to the course-progress tracker. Having insight into his progress has allowed Nate to track whether he’s been keeping up with the course average or needs to adjust his pace. Although he feels confident about his multiple-choice-question performance, Nate is less certain about his essay performance. However, the frequent opportunities to write and outline essays have provided crucial practice, sharpening his skills as he approaches the bar exam.
Entering the home stretch
Nate is making every moment count as the bar exam approaches. He’s dedicated his final days to intensively reviewing quizzes. For every question he misses, he carefully reexamines the question and analyzes the answer explanation to deepen his understanding of the rules. By revisiting each missed question and taking detailed handwritten notes, Nate reinforces his knowledge and builds the confidence he needs to tackle similar questions on the exam.
Waiting to hear back
Nate vividly remembers 2 crucial moments during the bar exam where Quimbee Bar Review+ proved invaluable. The first was the Multistate Performance Test. Initially, the tasks appeared overwhelming, but thanks to the course’s workshops and practice MPTs, Nate mastered time management and developed effective strategies to tackle the material. The second key moment was the Multistate Essay Examination. Nate credits his success on the essay portion directly to the unlimited essay submissions and the critical feedback he received throughout the course.
