I can teach you how to make cocktails 22, there's no need to go to any courses. Pulling pints is easy enough too, I don't think they're even too pushed about the two-part pour in NY.

Right, the title was the only thing I understood in that post, i dnt no txt spk sry.

Bar-Bri has a do-it-yourself set. It comes with books and cd's. I am not familiar with the NY Bar, so I can't say if it is the best for that exam.

I'm taking the Micromash course right now (the same materials Griffith College give you if you sign up with them) and its a really good course, text book and software based. I've heard mixed reactions about Barbri ; its expensive and often its based around sitting in a room watching a videotaped lecture. At the end of the day though the most important thing is the amount of work you put into it. Its hard work and the multiple choice questions of the MBE are a tricky format to get used to when you're used to essay questions.

a lot of law students in america use barbri... it's about $2500 and
there's a new option to do their classes over the net, which would
mean you could do them over here.

Kaplan do one as well.

There are also a few competitors (not many) that are even cheaper
than that. (you could also prob pick up some cheap Kaplan/Barbri
sets on eBay... the stuff changes very little from year to year.)

Dunno what griffiths are charging but I reckon some of the US programs
are probably a better deal. They also claim to have about 90% pass rates.

Don't you need a 4 year degree i.e. trninty only.

No, three year course is sufficient.

Good site for resources is www.iabany.com Irish American Bar Assoc.

Many of its members arrived over fresh with a 3 year BCL.

Contemplating doing this myself on ebay, been following some bar/bri sets from the Feb course they go for about 500dolla. Still eems excessively expensive to me so im considering waiting for a friend or two to share the materials cost ith me next year.

THe course seems very intensive over a short periodof time, but say you bought it now and didnt st till next Feb (if you could push yourslef enough) if should be managable.

Anyone sit it in Feb?
