Frequently Asked Questions
Now here are some questions you won’t have to spend hours
on CanLii searching for answers to figure out!
How is Bar Exam Bootcamp different from your 1:1 coaching?
After 3 years of coaching over 200 clients solely through 1:1 sessions, I’ve learned the strategies and methods that work best for most and have developed easy modifications for those who need a slightly different approach to be successful. Bar Exam Bootcamp condenses everything I teach my 1:1 clients into a course that you can complete at your own pace.
What makes it even better? We’ll have bi-weekly group coaching calls where you can ask me anything that’s on your mind!
So what’s the deal with the group coaching calls?
Every two weeks, you’ll be invited to hop on a live coaching call with me and other Bar Exam Bootcamp members. You’ll be able to submit your questions in advance and ask questions live in real-time! The day of the week and time of the coaching calls will alternate to make sure everyone has a chance to attend live at a time that best suits their schedule.
Can’t attend live? All of the calls will be recorded and uploaded to your course portal and even if you can’t make the call, you can submit your questions in advance and I’ll be sure to answer it first on the live call!
Couldn’t I just study for the bar exams alone?
Yes, you totally could.
But Bar Exam Bootcamp will save you valuable time figuring out the how, what, and when of bar prep and you’ll come to learn that alleviating as much stress as possible during this process is truly priceless. In Bar Exam Bootcamp I’ll give you the guidance and resources I wish I’d had during my first attempt at the bar exams so that your bar exam journey is as straightforward and enjoyable as possible.
How many times do I need to read the study materials?
In Bar Exam Bootcamp you’ll learn that with effective strategies (which we’ll cover in the course!) reading the study materials just once is enough to head into the exams feeling confident and prepared.
I’m really nervous about a certain topic in the study materials! Will you teach me the content?
I want to make it abundantly clear and be very transparent with you: I am not a tutor.
Bar Exam Bootcamp will give you the specific strategies and methods needed to excel through this process, and it will get you in the mindset to approach the exams with confidence. I will not teach you the content of the exams for two reasons: first, I used to practice in a very niche area of law not tested on the exams (so me tutoring you in say, business law wouldn’t be doing you any favours!) and second, I strongly believe that nobody goes into the exams understanding all of the materials.
The strategies and methods we will employ in Bar Exam Bootcamp will help you navigate the materials in a thoughtful format which will increase your understanding of complex topics and give you the tools you need to figure things out when the materials get really confusing.
I’m not sure I can invest the money right now…
I get it – I remember it being April 2019 and crying in my bedroom while wondering how I was going to afford the bar exam registration fees. And little did I know at the time, but I’d fail and be paying the fees twice. Bar Exam Bootcamp is the curriculum and support I wish I’d had on my first attempt – think about the cost of not investing. I’ve created a program that takes all the guesswork out of bar prep and helps you establish a confident bar prep strategy from day one.
And can you really put a price on feeling calm, confident, and prepared?
Moreover, recognizing the financial challenges many licensing candidates continue to face, Bar Exam Bootcamp offers a limited number of scholarships for each cohort of the program. Learn more about scholarship application deadlines and eligibility.
When can I get started? And, how long will I have access?
Bar Exam Bootcamp runs three times each year leading up to when the bar exams are held. Exact dates of Bar Exam Bootcamp will always be posted directly on the Bar Exam Bootcamp website. Access to Bar Exam Bootcamp always concludes at midnight the day after the conclusion of the Solicitor exam in each given sitting of exams.
Once doors open for the session you are interested in and you sign up for Bar Exam Bootcamp, you will have immediate access.
Please note that in the event of a deferral, students who wish to take two rounds of Bar Exam Bootcamp will be asked to enrol with the "Coaching Extension Fee". There will be also be a small gap between when the current cohort of Bar Exam Bootcamp concludes and when the next cohort begins. This means there won't be coaching calls during this time, and there will be a small period of time where you will not have access to course material.
Do you offer refunds?
Due to the digital nature of the course and access to all course modules at once, no refunds will be offered on Bar Exam Bootcamp. If you’ve selected a payment plan, that payment will be automatically processed 30 days after your first payment.
Do you guarantee a pass on the bar exams?
Like with anything in life, the results you get on the exams will be equal to the time and effort you put into implementing the strategies from Bar Exam Bootcamp into your studying. Purchasing Bar Exam Bootcamp does not guarantee a passing grade on the Ontario lawyer licensing exams.
Still have lingering questions?
No problem!
I know that these decisions can feel scary. I am here to support you in making the decision that is best for you.
