A variety of commercial bar review courses are available, and almost every law school graduate benefits from taking such a course.  Bar review courses not only review the substantive law, but also help with test-taking strategies, writing strategies, and study schedules. Be an informed consumer!  Carefully investigate the course's claims and costs before signing the contract.  Find people who have taken the course and ask their opinions.  But don't park your critical thinking once you've laid down your money.  Even the best bar review courses contain legal errors: investigate any discrepancies between what you learned in class and what the course says.  Respect the study schedules but don't follow them slavishly if they don't make sense to you.  Finally, PRACTICE.  Don't just read the material; practice taking both multiple choice and essay questions.  This can spell the difference between success and failure.
