[Graduation Year: All]

They do not release rankings for the first semester only after the second. I do know that the curve falls around a 2.86 and I finished with around a 3.3 GPA. I think learning how classes were going to be and knowing what to do helped a lot.

I am not ranked because I have yet to meet the credit hour threshold for being ranked (I am a part-time student). However, in 3 classes, I've managed to secure an A- in legal research and writing, an A- in civil procedure, and a B+ in contracts, amounting to a 3.556 GPA. The most important aspect I could say that I learned from Law Preview is how to brief and to ALWAYS brief your cases. . . . [T]he general discussions about law school (studying strategies, time management, success strategies, etc.) were invaluable.

Law Preview mentally prepared me for the workload of the first year. Beyond that, it offered valuable strategy tips for studying and exam-taking, as well as information regarding fall interviews and internships after the second year. Overall, the best advice given was, "Brief all of your cases!",

I attended the Law Preview session last summer in Atlanta. I remember you saying follow the Law Preview plan, work hard, and you will succeed. I did well first semester so I knew something was working. I continued to follow your blue print second semester and I could not be happier. I finished my first year at Chicago-Kent with a 3.92 GPA, which puts me # 1 in my class of 315. Law Preview really helped me hit the ground running on day one and keep the momentum throughout the year. Thanks for your help.

This may not make the best testimonial, but Law Preview instilled a necessary fear in my mind. The sample doctrinal classes certainly didn't hurt, but the real benefit was the fear of not excelling in my first year. As it should, Law Preview stressed the immense importance of first year grades. So, as a result, I believed that if I did not do great my first year, then I would have difficulty finding post-graduate employment. That fear, combined with the ambition most law students already have, fueled my first year. I made the Chicago-Kent Law Review, as well as the Chicago-Kent Moot Court Honor Society. Now, I have to figure out how to handle both!

Law Preview helped me come to school "ready to play." I already had knowledge of what was going to be covered, and HOW it was to be covered. The heads-up on how to do case briefs was invaluable.

Law Preview allowed me to 'hit the ground running' at law school. I did not have to spend valuable time at the beginning of each semester figuring out what the context of each subject matter was; I already knew it because of what Law Preview had covered.

Law Preview provides a phenomenal service to entering law students. I was thoroughly impressed with all aspects of the program: the preparation and study skills, substantive preview, as well as your professional and approachable demeanor and personal dedication to students. . . . I admire your personal initiative and feel good about having chosen a company that is genuinely committed to students rather than only its profits. . . . Arriving at law school I felt more peace of mind and confidence with regards to the task ahead. This sense of peace is not insignificant -- I believe it is making my learning experience more enjoyable and fulfilling and I feel very prepared as I finish my fifth week of classes.

My school believes in maintaining a non-competitive environment and does not rank, however I will say that Law Preview was very helpful. Although I was not ranked in my class, I received 3 A-'s for the semester and I am among the top 25 students in my year.

I felt as best prepared as I possibly could have been for my first year. I knew what I needed to do to be successful and feel proud of my performance and efforts. It was helpful starting law school with an idea of how to read cases and knowing I needed to outline my courses well before exams. My school does not have rankings, but I know I am towards the top of my class.

I attended Law Preview at Texas Weslayan in Fort Worth last summer.I just got my grades from the second semester. My cumulative GPA is 3.63. . . . My grades for the the two semesters included SIX As and TWO B+s!!!! At Cleveland Marshall College of Law, they use a forced curve grading system where a maximum of up to 10% of students in any course can get an A. 3.63 means an invite to join Law Review b/c I am in the top 10% of my class.More than anything else, Law Preview got me fired up and ready for the competitive arena of law school. After a week with you all, there was nothing else I needed to know to get prepared for my first year.Thanks again.

Law preview took all of the stress out of my law school experience. I never had a late night. I was always prepared. This itself is very valuable when you are in one of the most challenging of academic experiences.

I cannot thank the staff of Law Preview enough for all of their help. After my first semester of law school, I got a 4.0 GPA and am #1 in my class out of 217 students. I am the only person from my class to have attended Law Preview, and I attribute my success to the program. When I started law school, I had already been exposed to each subject, had already read several cases and briefed them, and most importantly, had already taken a law school exam. I was way ahead of the learning curve. The most important thing in law school is knowing how to take an exam and how to prepare for it. Law Preview breaks down your study schedule by the week--I followed it to a tee. I knew when my outlines should be done, I knew what study aids to use, and I knew the format for writing an A exam. The experience and knowledge I gained through the program was invaluable. I highly recommend Law Preview for anyone going to law school!

I attended Law Preview at the University of Pennsylvania Law School last summer. At the end of my first year I am ranked 3rd in my class, a member of both the Law Review and Moot Court team, have a summer job for a federal judge, and a job this fall for my legal writing teacher as a student instructor. Law Preview did an excellent job of providing me with all the tools I needed to survive -- and excel -- in my first year. They helped provide a ground basis for all my core classes, taught me how to take a law school exam and most importantly helped me develop a study schedule that allowed me to study efficiently, without having to pull one all-nighter. I would highly recommend Law Preview to anyone because the information they provide cannot be found anywhere else and it will help prepare you so you can actually enjoy your first year of law school.

I cannot overstate what a tremendous difference Law Preview made in shaping my first year at Columbia Law School! Attending the NY session really helped to calm my pre-law-school nerves! The professors were truly wonderful, explaining the concepts and the processes of law school in such a way that there were absolutely no surprises my first year. I could anticipate and was prepared for everything they threw my way! And I just can't say enough good things about how attentive Law Preview's founders are to the needs of their students--they really care how well you enjoy Law Preview and how well you do in law school.The best of it is... I just made the Columbia Law Review! Thanks Law Preview!

The first part of law school was definitely more predictable--I was comfortable from the beginning with the overall process of law school, including how to study, what kinds of work to expect, what some of the general concepts were, and what life as a 1L would be like.

Law Preview was a great experience that certainly helped me excel in my first semester. My law school does not rank students but I am thrilled (and surprised!) to report I got an A in two out of my three classes - an honor that only goes to the top 5-10% of the class. Law Preview helped me achieve such success by introducing me to the core, fundamental doctrines and important cases that frequently appeared on my final exams.
—Anonymous, Columbia University School of Law, Class of 2011

I felt more prepared because I knew what to expect. I think the class made me feel more confident in my ability to meet the challenges of law school. I would definitely recommend the class to any incoming law student!

I attended your Law Preview course in San Francisco over the summer. I just wanted to write you to thank you for helping me so much my first semester. I am convinced that if it had not been for your program, I would not have done so well on my finals (3.93 here at Cornell). And your tip about bringing in little things that excited the professor helped me to net an A+ in Torts, which additionally helped me to get a summer job researching for that professor . . . If you ever needed a testimonial or someone to speak volumes of your program, I'm your man.

I guess now's the time of year when you hear good news. I want to add mine to the crowd...I attended the July session in D.C., and it gave me a great introduction as to what to expect during my first semester. When I got to school, I was ready to go! I worked hard, and it paid off...much more than I expected. I got straight A's, and an A+ in civil procedure (known to be one of the hardest exams)! I would definitely recommend the program to others--thanks for having this kind of program in place!
