I can’t thank the Themis team enough for all of their advice and guidance when I last-minute decided to take the bar exam. After taking Themis's California Attorney Exam course, I’ve highly recommend it to my Duke law career counselor for when other alumni reach out to her with similar needs. I felt prepared and supported by your team.

Bar Exam Format
The California Bar Exam is a 2 day exam consisting of the Multistate Bar Exam (MBE), five essay questions and one California Performance Test.
California Performance Test
(PT)
The CA Performance Test is a 90 minute skills-based exam designed to test an applicant's fundamental lawyering skills by applying law in a closed-universe library to a file of specific facts, usually in the form of a memorandum or letter. Themis California Bar Review includes everything you need to master the California PT.
California Essay Exam (CEE)
California's five essay questions test on the following subjects: Business Associations (Agency, Corporations, and Partnerships), Civil Procedure (Federal Rules and California), CA Community Property, Constitutional Law, Contracts, Criminal Law and Procedure, Evidence (Federal Rules and California), CA Professional Responsibility, Real Property, Remedies, Torts, Trusts, and CA Wills and Succession.
Multistate Bar Exam (MBE)
The MBE consists of 200 multiple-choice questions that test the following areas: Civil Procedure, Constitutional Law, Contracts & Sales, Criminal Law & Procedure, Evidence, Real Property, and Torts. Of the 200 questions, 175 are scored questions and 25 are unscored pre-test questions.

My constant dialogue with the Themis staff helped me avoid feeling overwhelmed and optimized my study time. Without the personalized support, quick response time and such a flexible/adaptable program, I would've been in heaps of trouble. I still cannot fathom why anyone would pay double or triple for an inferior product. Thanks Themis!
