He is a well-known practicing attorney in the Los Angeles area and the founder of the Stevenson Law Office www.stevensonlawoffice.com.  He is a licensed attorney and has an MBA and MA Education from Pepperdine University.He has been tutoring students for over ten years! 

What Makes The Bar Exam Doctor Different From Other Bar Reviews?

The Bar Exam Doctor provides a high quality service at a reduced rate by forcing students to do two things – Performance Tests and Essays! We have structured our prices so that students are able to afford our service without taking away the money needed for food, lodging, and other necessities. At Bar Exam Doctor, we live, eat, and breathe Performance Tests and Essays. Our graders have been highly trained in the areas the Bar Examiners look for when grading your tests. A unique score is provided for each test which is then tabulated with other tests taken so a student can track how he or she is doing on both performance tests and essays. We even offer one-on-one tutoring with the grader who just graded your test within 72 hours!

Does The Bar Exam Doctor Offer Tutoring For All Sections Of The Bar Exam?

Of course! While our main focus is on performance tests and essays, the Bar Exam Doctor also offers tutoring services for the mbe. Often times we find that a student lacks the skills needed to pass the bar exam in several sections across the board. We find that once we help them perfect their writing, issue spotting, and outlining skills for the performance tests and essays, their skills also improve in the other sections. After a few sessions with our tutors coupled with a few Performance Tests and Essays, a student can dramatically improve their scores overall on the bar exam leading to them passing the bar exam.

Who Will Grade My Test?

The Performance Tests and Essays are graded by our highly experienced licensed attorneys in California and other states too (Oregon, Connecticut, and a few others). We like to call them our in-house physicians (keep up the hard work, Dr. Laura!) We are very open to telling our students about our service and our staff. There’s no time to keep secrets or play games. At Bar Exam Doctor, we strive to only accept applications to become a grader or tutor from the most qualified individuals. Some of the qualifications we require include: (1) the individual graduated at the top 15% of their graduating class; (2) the individual graduated from a top tier law school and; (3) the individual has prior teaching/tutoring experience for the Bar Exam - specifically the Performance Tests and Essays. In addition, to these qualifications, we put our graders through rigorous training to ensure the highest quality of grading is provided for our students. Some of our graders have even personally graded for the some Bar Exams, the attorney specialist exam, Barbri, passed the bar in several other states, and taught classes for the top LSAT programs.

Can I Submit My Handwritten Tests For Grading?

While we highly encourage our students to type their Performance Tests and Essays (we feel that students who type their tests have a much stronger advantage over others), we understand that some students are pure handwriters and prefer to keep it that way. Special accomodations can be made to ensure our services are accesible to them too. Send us an e-mail for more information.

Where Do The Performance Tests and Essays Come From?

At Bar Exam Doctor, we strive to make an individual's practice experience as real as possible! All of the Performance Tests and Essays have been provided to us directly from the Bar Examiners.

Are The Performance Test And Essay Simulators Similar To The Software Program (Examsoft) Used On The Bar Exam?

As you may know, most bar exam candidates now type their tests using a software program (Examsoft). In order to help a student have a similar experience, we at Bar Exam Doctor, along with the help of a team of highly experienced computer programmers and website designers designed and created two very special patent pending programs that allow a student do an entire Performance Test and Essay online! There is no better way for a student to focus on their weaknesses!

How Soon Will I Get My Answer Graded And Returned?

At Bar Exam Doctor, the student’s test is graded and returned to them within 72 hours (or sooner!) from the time of completion of the test. How is this possible? We have a staff (and continue to accept applications) of very qualified individuals who will grade your tests during all days and hours of the week!

I've Heard You Can't Prepare For The Performance Test, Is This True?

This is purely a myth. We feel strongly that you can and should study for the Performance Tests. We are amazed how many full bar review courses overlook this section of the test. A student must know that they should provide adequate time and effort to this section. It should not be overlooked or taken lightly. However, with the right preparation, it can be conquered!

So what are you waiting for, lets get you writing!
