I was the only one of the three of us that passed the July 2014 exam. I felt so comfortable and prepared during the exam that it almost felt easy. Rigos was excellent preparation. Nicholas Alexander, Willamette University The feedback from Rigos mentors and quick turnaround by graders improved my writing skills to match the bar examiners’ requirements. Charles Gust, University of Washington I passed two bar exams; one with [competitor] and one with Rigos. Rigos is far superior. The material is more focused and the Magic Memory Outlines are wonderful. Kurt Rowland, Gonzaga University I’ve successfully used the Rigos method to pass both the Washington State Bar Exam and the Colorado UBE. The Rigos method is efficient and focused on the UBE information that matters. The feature I found most helpful was the organized practice test questions cross-referenced to each subject, right after the substantive outlines.
