Re: BarBri or Rigos Bar Review
Posted by Julian Wheeler on 2/24/06

    Hi Melissa,

    You may not remember me, but i think we met through the Hispanic SEAFAIR
    Organization. I heard you were asking for advice on 2/3/2006 about which
    prep program to take for studying for the WSBA Exam.
    I chose the Rigos Prep Program, because they have a 2nd chance option,
    where if you fail the first time, you can take their course again for
    free. This is probably not unique to Rigos. But I felt i had little
    chance of passing the bar on the first try, so I took Rigos (for winter
    bar 2005). But they have a rigorous program, and it's heavily centered on
    memorizing how to answer a bar question based once you determine what
    subject the question covers. And there's more to it than that, of course.
    I passed, thankfully. And i cannot imagine passing the bar without Rigos,
    and I'm not sure if barbri would have been right for me.
    Here's how I see it, to put it delicately - the more human you are, the
    more you need Rigos.
    Sorry to fill up your in box. Take care and good luck.
    - Julian Wheeler.
