As enrollments continue for February, it's wonderful to receive these heartfelt words from more of my students who passed the July 12 exam. I know where they started, and I'm proud of each one of you (Caroline, Bill, Andrew and Amanda) for making it over the top:
"Steve's methods work because he finds your
weaknesses and turns them into your strengths. There were no surprises on the
bar exam because Steve had worked with me on every subject and a variety of
essays and performance tests. The bar exam felt like another day of working
with Steve, not a scary, confusing, or frightening exam. He brought my
confidence and writing skills to the level they needed to be at to pass the bar
exam. Simply put, Steve is the reason I am able to move on with my life!”
--Caroline Bolton (University of San Diego, School of Law)
“After working with Steve Zikman
extensively, I am happy to give him a strong & unqualified
endorsement. I first enlisted Steve's
help after my unsuccessful attempt to pass the Baby Bar (FYLSX). I
easily passed the second time. While I
did not pass on my first try at the California Bar Exam, I'm confidant that
Steve's work and methodologies played an essential role in getting me to a
second read and a miss by only 30 points. I am glad that I used Steve again to
claim my spot on the pass list on this second and last attempt. Steve's approach is a straightforward, common
sense method that can be practiced for continued improvement. Steve's
knowledge, experience and in-depth, constructive feedback were essential to my
progress. Most importantly, Steve has a
wonderful, personal style. It was clear that he cared about me and my
success. He was able to gently assist me through those crises of confidence, and
over those inevitable walls.” --Bill Stewart (JFK School of Law)
“Steve Zikman's approach to the exam is
much different than other bar prep programs and that made the difference. Steve
takes the time to review each essay, then he critiques the essay,
then the student redrafts the essay, and then Steve and the student review
the essay again line-by-line to make sure the student understands how to
write a consistent, passing essay. It's a long process, but following this
approach results in a better understanding on how to write a passing
exam for both the Essays and the Performance Tests. I would
recommend Steve's bar prep program to anyone taking the bar. Thanks again
Steve!” --Andrew D. (Western State College of Law)
“After failing the bar twice I was so defeated by this
test. I am so grateful that I found Steve. Steve isn’t just another bar
prep course or cookie-cutter tutor. He gives you the language, format,
and structure required to pass the bar. He is amazingly intuitive and
perceptive and is able to quickly ascertain his student's strengths and
weaknesses to truly give you the road map to success. Thank you so much Steve;
I couldn't have done it without you.” --Amanda Millea (JFK School of Law)
