What is Bear the Bar (the CA edition)?

It's an adaptive bar prep product built specifically for the new California Bar exam. It's AI-native and constantly assesses your performance to then tailor and create questions that intelligently focus on your gaps.

i.e. it's a really, really clever question bank for the California Bar that morphs and adapts to your performance

How is it different to all the other prep tools?

It's built directly on the new California Bar Exam syllabus, which is similar but not the same as the NCBE one.
It incorporates guidelines and principles from the new Kaplan study guide for California (released in Nov 2024) AND incorporates principles in style, format, tricks and nuances used by Kaplan when administering a similar 'bar' exam in the UK (read why this is important here)
It's AI-native and continually adapts to student performance, providing a personalised stream of practice questions to turbo-charge learning.
