Purchase nowPrior to purchasing Professor Grossman’s FL videos, I took and failed the FL Bar 5 times using a Big Box prep course. I felt completely defeated and suffered from severe test taking anxiety. Exactly two weeks before the exam in February, I purchased the Complete Florida Bar Course.
First, I listened to the video titled “Essay Writing Approach”. After listening to that video and writing an outline of what I learned, I realized I had been writing the essays all wrong. I was using IRAC however, not giving enough law and not applying the law to the facts in the manner described in the video. Professor Grossman gives a no nonsense, easy to comprehend approach. Going into the exam I had the essay blueprint in my head and was able to effortlessly transfer that into writing.
I then continued with “How Florida Multiple Choice is Scored” from Professor Sandon. In this video, the components of the test are broken down so that you understand how points for a multiple choice question translated into points on an essay. He emphasizes subjects which appear on the Bar continuously and how to study smarter not harder.
Finally, I listened to all the lectures on the Florida topics. Each video highlights tested material and is presented in a condensed manner so you don’t feel overwhelmed. The first time I listened, I made an outline, however, I am an auditory learner so I listened to the videos religiously for the two weeks prior to the exam, on the way to work, the way home, while cooking, before going to sleep, literally all the time. The two weeks of repetitive listening definitely paid off
I can not thank Professors Grossman and Sandon enough. I was at work when I found out I had passed and cried tears of joy. I can say without a doubt the Florida videos are the reason I passed the exam. I am forever grateful and recommend your course to anyone taking the Bar. Thank you so much!!

To those of you about to sit for the Florida Bar Examination, I cannot stress how important it is to truly prepare yourselves for the journey ahead. Through the use of Jonathan Grossman’s video lectures, I was able to learn the black letter law that would be required of me on the bar examination. With the alarming passage rates in Florida, I feared being stuck in the pool of repeaters. Thanks to Jon, I was able to score a 151 on the MBE. I was also able and fortunate enough to attend his essay writing workshops where he taught me how to write exactly how the bar expects you to write. Thanks to these workshops and his help on my essays, I was able to score a 165 on the Florida portion of the exam. His method is straight, clear, and to the point. Do not miss out!

I highly recommend Jonathan Grossman to help you prep for the bar exam. I used to rep for a well-known bar prep company, so I was highly skeptical of deviating from the typical bar exam approach and using anything to study from other than the materials provided to me by the bar prep company. While studying the first time, I completed the majority of my course, faithfully listened to lectures, and did practice questions. I thought I did everything “right,” but when results came out, I discovered I failed the bar exam. I was devastated.
I thought if I just studied a little bit more, I’d pass the exam, so I studied just a little bit more, and I failed that bar exam too. Then, ANOTHER ONE. I went to a “good” law school. How could this happen?
I was so lost. I didn’t know what to do.
Then, I discovered Jonathan Grossman, and doing so made all of the difference in the world for me. Jonathan Grossman is truly gifted at helping unlock the material. He “cuts the fat,” and he explains concepts in clear, concise, and direct language. He uses memorable and easy-to-understand examples to teach the law. To use his words, he “dumbs” everything down. But, truth be told, Jon doesn’t dumb anything down. He’s just really good at explaining legal concepts in straightforward language. He also teaches you what you actually need to know for the bar exam (which is a lot!), but he doesn’t waste your time teaching trivial, extraneous material unlikely to ever appear on the exam. I know what you’re thinking — that learning all of that “extra” stuff must be better, but I can tell you, it’s not. There is no way you can memorize all of the material the bar prep companies cram into their outlines. It’s not possible or realistic, and you’ll waste your time trying to memorize truly unimportant concepts when you could and should be focusing on the really big ticket items that are core legal concepts and thus likely (read: going to without fail) appear on the bar exam. Jon knows which concepts these are, and he is a master at teaching them to you.
Additionally, Jon knows how to approach the questions on the bar exam. During bar prep, when you’re trying to learn and memorize legal concepts, you might be tempted to let test taking strategy and approach sit on the back burner. Don’t do that. Knowing how to approach the questions is half of the bar exam battle. Jon teaches you the techniques you need to know in order to approach the questions correctly, and if you implement his strategies - in tandem with - learning the material he presents to you, you are almost guaranteed to pass the bar exam.
Jon is also unbelievably positive and encouraging. He is personally invested in your success. Taking the exam is stressful, and you need someone in your corner who is going to lift you up and believe in you. In turn, you will begin to believe in yourself and in your ability to pass the exam. I know ....because I experienced this first-hand.
Studying for the bar exam is terrible, but Jonathan Grossman actually makes it enjoyable, fun, and manageable. I cannot recommend him highly enough. He changed my life.

After graduation I enrolled in one of the large Bar Prep programs. Although I felt ready, I was not confident and I failed the FL Bar exam.
The following February I decided to skip the Bar Prep and do it on my own. I failed the FL Bar exam AGAIN.
A few months ago, I decided to give it one more try. I had heard about Jonathan from someone who gave him a glowing review, and decided to use his services.
He not only gave me direction, but he also had a calming influence, which was much-needed after my 2 previous exam failures.
In fact, I was so confident during the MBE exam that I was yelling (in my head, of course) at the answer booklet, boldly crossing off answers that had nothing to do with
the question subject, and reminding myself to ’shut up and pick it.’
Thank you so much for your guidance, reassurance, and most of all, your system of breaking down the steps to prepare for and pass the bar exam.
I highly recommend Jonathan’s services for first-time takers as well as repeat takers like myself.

I met John during my last semester of law school. I had recently received a non-passing score on the MPRE and already had high anxiety that I was doomed to fail the bar. I had done poorly on multiple-choice exams my entire life (including the [SAT) but always did well in coursework and on essay exams. I couldn't figure out why multiple-choice exams always got the best of me. That all changed when I met John. I followed John's direction and trusted his process. I memorized the black letter law EXACTLY as he instructed and I knew the law cold. I followed his approach for each type of question to "attack" the MBE. Most importantly, I believed in and used his mantras on every single question uttering, "shut up and pick it", "they are not trying to trick you, they know you will trick yourself'and "the longer the fact pattern, the easier the answer" over and over again. Understanding John's approach to utilizing these mantras is the key to his program. I passed the MPRE, the Florida Bar, and the New Jersey Bar with John's guidance in 2012. Four years later, I took the Uniform Bar Exam. I went back to John to learn new areas of law and steadfastly used his approach once again. After studying for the bar four years out of law school while working full-time, I scored significantly higher on the MBE and obtained a passing UBE score in every UBE jurisdiction. As someone who always underperformed on multiple-choice exams, John's methods truly changed my life. I don't know where I would be had I not been lucky enough to be introduced to John and his program. After admission to the bar in 4 states (soon to be 5) and passing the MPRE twice utilizing John's strategies, I can say without a doubt that he has cracked the code to passing the Bar!

I have no idea if you will ever read this We you are likely flooded w/ messages, but thank you for making these videos. BII you and my tutor. you are both why I passed the Virginia bar exam. I took it several years mat Of law school, and your videos are so good, and they make me laugh. There is no bar prep company out there or Other resource that provides such concise. direct. and understandable break down Of the subjects. YOU are the only resource that's been able to get all this information in my head and to approach the questions. Last summer, when I took the exam. I kept saying, "What are they asking you, Julie? What is the one single issue here?" You change lives, Jon. You really do. I'm taking my second bar exam in July. and I am retaking the MBE for a portable UBE score. so I'm rewatching the videos, which I'm pretty sure you've redone here or there, so I'm on the defensive use Of collateral estoppel, and as soon as I I wonder why," you literally said, "Don't ask why! I'm Jon, I like the Jets. I like whatever....l don't know why. Don't email me questions," and I just LOLed. You literally know EXACTLY which part Of the materials people will ask "why." You ' ve done this in numerous Other places in the content, and you are always spot on, and I am always laughing b/c you KNOW. I'm a former teacher, so I really appreciate your approach. and I wish law school was taught this way. I think it would be better to have the basics down like this and then delve into the case law wc it's so disorienting otherwise. You are a true renegade. in my opinion, in the legal word b/c you make the material accessible and learnable. You don't hide the ball. and you don't figure the students will just make sense of it. You know they won't. and you clear up any confusion. And, you actually make the test beatable w/ all of your test taking strategies. From the bottom of my heart, thank you, thank you, thank you.

After failing the bar exam, I approached Jonathan Grossman for his help. Mr. Grossman makes each student his top priority and me makes every student feel deserving and worthy of passing the bar. He breaks down the various complicated and wordy-explained laws into a very simplistic yet understandable manner without cutting out key information. Mr. Grossman does not just jump topic to topic and move on quickly. When I was struwling with certain topics or questions, you better believe that we did not move forward until I had that topic or a good understanding of that question in the bag. W€d even go back to a topic just to make Sure I had a solid understanding of the concepts. Mr. Grossman made himself available to answer any and all questions and explain the process of how the bar exam works. Communication was efficient and easy at all times. If you need to reach Mr. Grossman. it is never a problem. I had contact with him via email, text messages, and phone calls at all hours (l truly mean it when I say Mr. Grossman makes his students top priority). Prior to leaving Miami for the Florida Bar Exam, Mr. Grossman assures me that he would be arriving in Tampa before exam day and let me know that he was happy to meet with me if I needed to go over anything last minute or had any questions for him. Hearing those words was very relaxing and not many people would make themselves so available especially so close to exam day. On BOTH exam days, Mr. Grossman was at the convention center. I approached him very stressed and nervous and he talked me through my stress and nerves. He is always just so positive and reassuring. One example of how Mr. Grossman helped me when I felt stressed and nervous is a pep talk he gave me. Mr. Grossman told me it is imperative I take the day off and I told him in tears that it was not possible SO close to the exam. Mr. Grossman told me about three different stories where other individuals in the past had been feeling the same as myself and that they needed to take the day off and even possibly the next day after that and that it was not only to effect my studying in a much better way but it will give me the extra boost and power down the road. The following day, Mr. Grossman called me and asked what I did for fun to relax and I told him I saw a movie and had a bagel nova. He said, "you will see, that extra relaxation eased your mind and calmed you down and he said it will work in your favor come time for the bar exam." (Mr. Grossman was right again—he KNOWS what he is talked about. His experience here is endless). Mr Grossman is patient and he wants his students to succeed. It is unbelievably clear how passionate Mr. Grossman is, he is determined, he means business, and HE KNOWS WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT. I could not be happier with my bar exam results and give so many thanks to Jonathan Grossman. I recommend Mr. Jonathan Grossman 1000% for a successful chance at the bar exam. In addition to working individually with Professor Grossman. I purchased his multistate videos. Hands down the best purchase I COUld have possibly made. Each video is catered towards a specific MBE subject. It is very clear that Mr. Grossman planned each video out, thought of proper examples to match concepts, and just gave each idea his all. Every single concept Mr. Grossman discusses has a relatable example whether it's sports. geography. etc. While watching all of Mr. Grossman's multistate videos, I took extensive and detailed notes and further. after watching all of the videos, I then was able to go back to my notes and review the concepts that Mr. Grossman does such a good job at breaking down into understandable simplistic concepts, while at the same time reviewing his relatable examples related to each topic. Mr. Grossman's "What's the Issue" website and "Shut Up and Pick It" slogan are accurate. Thank you so much, I am the most thankful for the opportunity to have worked with you!

John deconstructs the MBEs for his students in a simple manner. He helps you understand how the questions and answer choices are written, emphasizing where the bar examiners confuse you.
Also noteworthy is John's ability to teach the material in a fun and lighthearted way. You can actually look forward to studying for the MBEs because his videos are filled with great examples that are not only effective but funny. He takes the fear and anxiety students face and organically converts that into confidence through his clear explanations and motivational words of encouragement.
After I watched his videos and began implementing his methods and advice, it wasn't long before I started to consistently score 75% on my practice sets (and sometimes even 80%). I was in sincere disbelief how he took something that was seemingly impossible to figure out on my own and explained it in such a straightforward way. Suddenly, the MBEs were the least worrisome part of the exam for me.
Watch his videos and you'll see John's genuine enthusiasm for giving you the tools to do well. Systematically use his approach and trust that in a matter of time you will be able to intelligently take apart the dense and convoluted fact patterns, refrain from reading nonexistent facts into them and finally answer them correctly!
There are no words to describe what John brings to the table as a teacher. I failed the first time and enlisted John’s services. John’s insight into the bar and his approach of assisting students get to the crux of the issue with precision, should be modeled in every bar prep course in the country. His compassion and willingness to make each subject in the MBE easily understandable is a gift that is second to none. His approach to the Florida Essays are so down to earth and easily learnable, you’d almost wish you had this insight as a 1L. I am an attorney because of your guidance, and commitment, and because of that I say thank you. Any student prepping for the bar needs to have your insight and knowledge. Big bar prep companies that make all these guarantees, can’t compete with what you bring to table. Please let me know if there are any students preparing for the upcoming bar that you need me to speak to going forward. They all need to know “what’s the issue”!
Before finally passing in the fall of 2008, I had taken the MBE three times. I had "the BarBri experience" upon graduating law school and I also had used MicroMash and PMBR, at different times, both in a group setting and on my own. I felt prepared every time, my practice rests indicated that I would pass with flying colors, but, somehow I just kept failing. On my third try, I failed by one point. At a complete loss, and knowing that I would again be working full-time while studying and that this was likely the last chance my employer could give me, I knew I needed a different approach. I contacted my law school dean, who recommended Jonathan Grossman.
My experience with Jon was entirely unlike anything I had done in the past. I can only describe the process as having internalized the fundamentals of the MBE subject to the point that the elements of each topic were second nature, and I did not have to think about what was built into the distinct points of law; I just knew it and was able to attack the questions without having to spend time going through everything in my head every time. In essence, Jon taught me to simplify the bar.
In retrospect, I probably spent less than half the total hours studying as at anytime in the past. Jon taught me to stop over analyzing every question and trying to handle it as guessing myself, but it was not a blind, hopeful trust; rather (and for the first time ever), it was confident reliance on a solid understanding of the law, consciously directed to appropriately address each individual question. His approach was flexible, patient, encouraging, and innovative. If I was unable to grasp a point, he found a way to get through to me... or found a way to convince me to let it go - a fine accomplishment considering my tendency to hopelessly latch on to minute, inconsequential details.
The thousands of practice questions I had done over the course of two years indicated that I knew the law. Clearly, the law was not my problem. The test was the problem. Simply put, Jon taught me to beat the test.
I am infinitely grateful to Jon for guiding me to a point that allowed me to pass the MBE and, finally, after two years of the same exhausting and fruitless cycle, move on with my life. As a self-pronounced "veteran of the bar," having attempted the MBE a total of four times, I can say with absolute conviction that I finally passed only because I had Jon's help.

Because of you I am a lawyer. I owe you a life time of gratitude. Words can not describe how much you mean to people like me. We never gave up, and we acomplished our goal. Please never stop tutoring students for the bar. We need people like you who truly believe in us and believe that we deserve to practice law. People like me who have taken the exam 3 or 4 times, truly appreciate what it means to be a lawyer. I know that we look at our bar cards and remember all the hard work and determination it took to earn that bar card.
Please call me if you need me to speak on your behalf with any potential students or any law schools that may want your assistance in helping their students pass the bar. Any student who is debating on whether to hire your to help them study, please have them call me and I will not only vouch for you, but I will also be helping them make the right decision in order for them to be best prepared for the exam.

The quote above is one of the reasons why I passed the exam. I typed it out on a piece of paper and everyday before I started to study for the exam I read it out loud to myself. Pleaseeeeeee, make your students type it out and tell them that whenever they feel tired, or discouraged, they should read it to themselves. Reading this quote is worth at least 5 points on the MBE, I promise this to any student.
Thank you again for everything. Today is the greatest day of my life, and I owe all of it to you.

To take and pass the MBE the second time around, I needed help! With your help, coaching and personalized study plan, I was able to raise my MBE score from 120 to 158!! Needless to say, I passed with flying colors. Thank You So Much!

Professor Grossman's approach to the Bar exam is by far the most effective I have ever seen. His no-nonsense strategy eliminates the myriad of extraneous details that overwhelm most students, condenses the massive universe of information into something manageable, and fortifies one's knowledge and understanding of the key rules that one needs to pass the Bar with confidence. Whereas most teachers tend to have an aimless 'kitchen sink approach' that attempts to cram as many random rules as possible into students' heads, Professor Grossman identifies clearly for students the core concepts that actually appear on the test. Grossman's targeted techniques keep students from wandering off onto law school-like debates, and trains them with the clear purpose of passing the Bar exam. Professor Grossman's strategic, efficient and highly effective methods ar e only made more impactful by his terrific sense of humor and his warm personality. I honestly cannot recommend Professor Grossman highly enough.

I passed the Connecticut 2008 July Bar. This would not have been possible without Jonathan Grossman. After being a repeated failure, I was discouraged but Jonathan's enthusian and brain helped me pass! At the beginning of my studying I sent Jonathan the past 4 Connecticut Bar Exams for us to review together. We spoke 2-3 times a week for 10 weeks over the phone for tutoring. I would prepare answers to essay questions as well as any questions I had about the black letter law. He was extremely helpful in the MBE, which was my downfall. He told me to buy a book called "Strategies and Tactics," and I read, answered and understood each and every question with his help. That book and his explantations were the key to my success. I would recommend Jonathan Grossman to every student. He is brilliant, reliable and dedicated.

Hi Jon! The best thing about having Jonathan as a mentor and bar prep coach is the fact that he makes sure you know that you can actually get through this exam successfully!! On those days that I felt overwhelmed and questioned my abilities----Jonathan would look at me with a firm, but friendly smile and say something like---"You are going in and taking control of the bar, they don't have control of you." When he tells you that you are ready and that you've got this----he means it. No bull, no sugar-coating---you can take his word to the bank! I scored a 154 on both parts of the February 2009 Florida Bar without feel overwhelmed by the whole experience. I attribute my success in great part to Jonathan's calm, assured and at appropriate times, stress relieving, comedic tutelage. Holly, JD 2009, Barry University Dwayne O. Andreas School of Law.

Jon helped me create an individualized study plan and keep me on track. We went over the problems I got incorrect. He would break them down clearly and help me learn 'the why' behind why I missed the question instead of moving at a speed pace through the questions. It was a quality over quantity approach which proved highly successful. After I started to realize why I was missing the same style of questions over and over, I was able to pick up the pace. Then, I had done enough repetition of the questions they got easier and easier. He helped me pay attention to minor details (which the questions turn on) and learn the intricacies which trip up most test takers. From studying with Jon, I went from a 134 to a 149 on the MBE! The MBE is where it's at! When you get up to that score you will pretty much pass any state portion. And, Jon is hilarious...it makes the experience as fun as it can be.

Coming from an out of state law school and taking the Maryland Bar Exam was a challenge that the majority of my classmates did not have to face. Unlike the other test takers who went to in state schools, I missed out on the years of picking up the rules and details that could mean the difference between passing and failing the state portion of the exam. I did everything that BarBri and the other big prep companies told me to do. I listened and took notes in every one of their lectures, did their practice problems and studied their "outlines" until I couldn't keep my eyes open. After all that time and effort, it turned out to be for nothing as I failed the exam.
I went to Jon for help and he was there for me in a way that the big companies never could be. He used his experience and knowledge to help me figure out what would work for me and create a plan to get over this hurdle. Jon helped me in both strategy and inspiration for the months of hard work ahead and always made himself available when I needed. More than anyone else, I have to thank him because the second time I took the Maryland Bar Exam, I passed. Thanks Jon.
In terms of jobs, it's really rough out there in the market but I've got some things in the pipeline right now. In actuality, now that I passed this ridiculous test, the last thing I'm worried about is going out and living my life in the real world!

These phrases rung through my head not only as I practiced for the Florida Bar Exam and the Texas Bar Exam, but even during the examinations. These tiny gems of genius were provided by Jon Grossman who I can only sum up his methods of bar exam preparation as purely awesome. Even if you are the most horrible multiple choice test taker, after taking Jon's class you will find that you can figure out the exam and pass. Jon has the guidance and key tools that will make you be a successful bar examination taker and pass the bar exam. Throughout Jon's class I came to learn that I was capable of passing the exam if I slowed down, paid attention to the questions, and practiced. With Jon's assistance I am proud to say that I have passed two of the hardest examinations in the country. Because there was no reciprocity between Florida and Texas, I had to take the MBE twice. Needless to say, Jon was there and showed me how to approach each type of question step by step so that I could answer quickly and effectively. I stand by his teachings and I know that anyone who uses him as a tutor and mentor will pass if they follow his method.

Mr. Jonathan Grossman.....
Everyone struggling to pass the Bar should be fortunate enough to find you. A "thank-you" doesn't seem sufficient for the mountain you helped me conquer. Your patience, kindness, professionalism, and genuine concern to understand each student is unmatched. The first time I heard you present was during the the MBE 5-day course and at the end of the day I said to myself - "how did he make that seem so easy - this guy makes sense to me".... Regrettably, it was two bars later before I was fortunate enough to find you again. If I hadn't started tutoring with you, I probably would still be trying to pass or, I would have given up by now. Your true knowledge for how to attack bar questions is unmatched. It's not just how well you know the Bar and how you know exactly what to look for and expect every time, it is your gift for getting through to students such as myself, who struggle to get over that last hump. A lot of people can tell me that 'it's all about the call of the question', but it's your method, your personality and your understanding of each individuals needs that make you an invaluable tool for anyone taking the Bar. I walked out of each session feeling more confident and equipped with the tools to enhance my preparation in less than 60 minutes with you a week. Your approach WORKS and your ability to convey it to others is something really special. I recommend you to anyone I meet who has failed the bar. I strongly recommend anyone preparing for the bar - for the 1st, 3rd, or 10th time, take advantage of such a special talent that is you. So while your choice in football Gods leaves something to be desired, I want you to know you one million "thank-you's" could not convey how grateful and appreciative I am for meeting you.
So, with all my sincerity, thank you.
Good luck Sunday.
Go Packers.

To Mr. Grossman ~
I wanted to pass the bar exam with one try - in my mind I referred to my potential success as the one hitter quitter. I needed a strategy with a guarantee. I searched and compared and "interviewed" perspective tutors and tutorial programs and then I found you. Mr. Grossman, you are a quiet storm with a core of perfection. The most imperative aspect of my time with you was that you found MY issue quickly and focused on "junking" the portion of my thinking that you saw as problematic in order to allow me to adequately prepare to sit for and pass the California bar exam.
You know this material and you know it well is what you would tell me, my answer would be "I know Mr. Grossman - so what's my issue?" I was doing too much thinking too much looking around to make sure that I covered all aspects of all issues and essentially overexerting my efforts, misdirecting my focus and essentially stressing myself out. I knew this and I had heard this before but until I discovered Mr. Grossman and his program I never knew exactly how to channel that excessive behavior into a more effective study tool. You helped me realized that being smart is only a portion of being successful on the bar exam, more importantly is conveying that wealth of knowledge in a calm confident manner. And for that I thank you.
Preparing for the Bar is a daunting task for anyone...
For a repeat-taker, working full-time, it felt nearly impossible. I knew I couldn't rely on the bloated bar courses traditionally used, so I turned to Jonathan. His program does two things that are integral to success on the bar (and different from traditional courses): (1) it focuses on absorbing fundamental concepts and (2) it requires constant repetition of those concepts until they are instinctive. Jonathan's style of teaching is direct; he doesn't waste time and his assignments are geared toward effectiveness. Over the course of six months of studying, passing the Bar went from impossible to achievable. If you follow his advice and put in the focused work his program requires, you'll pass with confidence. Thanks, Jonathan!
Jon,
You are an incredible BAR Coach and motivator. Words will never suffice to express the amount of gratitude and respect that I have for you! It is truly amazing the way in which you simplify the BAR and develop a working strategy that’s individualized and streamlined for success. As a wife, mother of 3 children under the age of six and a business owner, studying for the FL Bar was especially challenging and for that reason I opted out of the commercial courses the first time around. I knew I had limited time and could learn the law on my own. Nevertheless, I failed the FL Bar and felt as though my world was crumbling before me. You found the right words to motivate me and get me focused for the second time around. You reviewed my scores and knew exactly where I went wrong. Then you reassured me and personalized a study schedule taking into consideration my family’s needs as well as my availability to my business. Whenever I felt overwhelmed or discouraged you knew exactly what to say to make it better again. You truly have created the perfect storm for succeeding the Bar with just the right amount of law coupled with foolproof skills and techniques to tackling each portion of the Bar! I am eternally grateful to you and recommend you to anyone taking the Bar! Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart!

I had the good fortune of both discovering and working with Professor Jonathan Grossman in preparation for the Florida bar exam. After initially enrolling in a general prep course, I did not feel that my individual concerns and weakness were being identified, let alone corrected. Instead, I thought I was being served a “one-size-fits-all” type of study program.
This is where I started to work with Professor Grossman. He really has a gift of being able to instantly recognize and address a student’s weaknesses like a science. Once Professor Grossman identifies your mistakes, he immediately develops a plan of what the student has to do to fix the error. Mr. Grossman’s help was the key to my success. In my opinion, working with John leads to passing the bar.

As you know, I moved to Florida in July 2013 for family reasons, and was committed to continue practicing law.
The last time I had taken a bar exam was 1976, so it was a challenge. I took the July 2013 exam and passed the MBE, but to my surprise failed the Florida part of the exam. I had taken a bar review course on-line, but it had not really prepared me for taking the Florida essays. Fortunately, I came across your web site and got in contact. After working with you, including a dozen or so practice essays, you taught me the right way to present an essay for the Florida Bar Examiners. I cannot thank you enough for getting me through the process that allowed me to pass the Florida section of Bar in February 2014. For anyone who has not taken a bar exam at all or particularly for anyone who is coming to Florida after a long career elsewhere, I think working with Jonathan is a must.
You will develop a discipline that is crucial in presenting your knowledge in an appropriate manner to the Florida Bar Examiners. I can't thank you enough.

Hi there, I know I already texted my 'thanks' to you, but I just have a few more words to say. I totally entered the Bar prep experience scared to death about the essay portion of the Florida part of the exam. In fact, I put off 'learning' how to write the essays and 'mastering' it as long as I could. I toyed with the essays during the semester with your prodding, and doing one issue at a time was doable. But, I literally was incredibly scared to death to tackle an entire essay question. I kept making excuses, didn't know the material, didn't have time, multistate was more important b/c it would carry over to Florida and help me pass Florida!!!
BUT, I have to let you know. I made myself my 2-3 page cheat sheets with all my "hot topics" like you suggested. Just making those sheets helped me learn the info without even realizing it. As I added to my sheets, I then started to face my fear. By three weeks before the exam I was scoring "above expectation" on every essay I submitted, and I seriously enjoyed the writing experience.
Long story, I know, but everything you said to us in our last semester was true, and I just want all my friends who are graduating this year (most of them have you in class this semester) to learn from you, just like I did. Keep hounding the same things you did for us, because everything you said made it possible for me to pass the Florida portion of the exam. I actually scored better for Florida (154) than multistate (148), and i thought I was better prepared for multistate, but I'm thrilled with my scores, and owe a huge 'thank-you' to you.
I'm a non-traditional graduate, have a great job now, and am now getting the opportunity to enjoy the success of my hard work. But I would be a fool to think I did it on my own, and I thank you 100x over for what you did for me.
P.S. I'm sending a CC to Kaci at Barry, because I want the school to know how important your instruction was in helping me prepare for and pass the Bar Exam. I hope you're Okay with me sending the CC to Barry./mb

I want to express my sincere gratitude for your excellent work in helping me pass the multi-state section of the bar exam. I had taken the two nationally known bar review courses on previous occasions and although I passed the Florida section I failed to make it on the multi-state portion. As you know, I am 72 years old and I have been practicing law in the State of New York for over 45 years. When I began my preparation with you, I knew that statistically, having failed the multi-state section of the bar on three previous occasions, my chances were low in making it this fourth time. However, this fourth time, I got real lucky. I retained a tutor who not only taught me the proper way to approach the exam, pointed out to me the law that I needed to know and most importantly encouraged me and made me believe that I was going to pass - all done with a fabulous and engaging sense of humor that made each session something to look forward to.
Thank you again for your services to me. You can be sure that I will encourage anyone to consult with you who inquires to me about the best review course to prepare for the Florida bar. I will also tell them that you have the unique ability to make a difference in peoples careers.

To take and pass the MBE the second time around, I needed help! With your help, coaching and personalized study plan, I was able to raise my MBE score from 120 to 158!! Needless to say, I passed with flying colors. Thank You So Much!

Jon’s approach to MBE law is practical and effective, using interactive learning and repetition to promote memorization. Jon’s outlines allowed me to easily recall the material and repeat it concisely. He began the class with an MBE question – it was Greek to me. After reviewing only two of the seven MBE subjects, I took a practice MBE and earned almost a passing score. Most importantly, Jon taught me how to take a bar exam. By explaining how the questions were designed, he took away the mystery and showed me that I could pass. What more can I say about Jon? If you want to pass the bar, look no further.
Erin Sperger, Esq., Seattle, WA
Preparing for and taking the bar exam is the most exhausting thing I've ever done. The sheer amount of information you are expected to know is very intimidating. This is where Jon comes in. While Jon is a very good teacher of the information (he always keeps his lessons funny and entertaining), I believe his most helpful traits are that he makes you believe you will pass and his ability to calm you down when you feel like you can't do it.
Jon sincerely cares about his students and wants them to succeed. There were many times when I thought that there was no way I could cram any more law into my head. A simple conversation with Jon got me back on track and refocused. Jon even went to Tampa with us on the days of the test. Just seeing him there knowing that he believes in you makes you really feel like you are going to pass this test.
For the two months leading up to the test, Jon and I spoke often and we became close. I do not think of his as just a teacher, but as a friend. I believe that Jon was the single most important person for my success on the July 2009 Florida Bar Exam. When I decided to take the February 2010 North Carolina Bar Exam as well, I again turned to Jon when I began to doubt myself. Now, because of Jon, I am proud to say that I am a licensed attorney in both Florida and North Carolina. Thanks Jon. I couldn't have done it without you!
To anyone reading this: If you want to pass your bar exam, USE JON! He is the most valuable resource I have come across!

Hi, I am writing to express my sincere gratitude and appreciation for my friend and mentor, Jonathan Grossman. I had taken the bar in Florida and was stymied by the MBE. I had hit a brick wall and had nowhere to go. I found out about Jon through one of the commercial Bar Prep companies.
We spoke and I immediately felt better because he seemed to have a genuine grasp of my situation and problem I was having. Also, with my physical disability my bar testing conditions were different than the average person. I took the bar using three days as opposed to the normal two. I had to transition from Multi State to the State portion in the same day which was difficult for me, Jon knew how I should adapt to that. Jon is always positive and uses humor to get you through the bar preparation experience. Jon knows how to drill into the questions, he teaches you how to dissect them so that during the bar when you are tense and stressed you have executed Jon’s system so many times that you just take a deep breath and do it again. Jon teaches you in such a way that you know what to do and when to do it. Jon knows how the bar exam is designed and how people react to it. He knows how to help you avoid the common mistakes and take those massive and far too comprehensive bar books and break it down to what you actually need to pass the test and do what we went to law school for in the first place, practice law.
Even when I didn’t immediately pass the bar working with Jon, he encouraged me with his words, “they didn’t get you and you didn’t get yourself”, meaning we had overcome my difficulties we just needed to take another swing at it. We did and knocked it out of the park. Thanks to Jon. Now I run my own firm and this would not have been possible without the help and support of Jon Grossman. I am lucky to call him my friend.

Hi Professor Grossman,
Please see my testimonial below. If you need me to do anything else please let me know!
"Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn." - Benjamin Franklin
I think this describes Professor Grossman's philosophy perfectly.
I can honestly say I successfully passed the FL bar exam the first time because of Professor Grossman. I am truly grateful to have been taught by such a dedicated and inspiring person. He made me believe I could tackle this dreaded exam by knowing the basics and using a common sense approach (who knew??) - despite the mountain of books/notes we have for bar prep.
When I felt overwhelmed and thought to myself, "how am I going to remember all of this?" I went back to Professor Grossman's lessons and tips and I felt confident again. I will always remember Professor Grossman saying to trust your gut (and not just when answering multiple choice questions). He made me realize you really do trick yourself when you think too much - so "shut up and pick it!!"
Many many thanks and appreciation for what you do.

Adaptibar and John Grossman are the reason I breezed through the MBE portion of the Bar Exam. Grossman’s approach is completely different than any other approach and twice as effective. His approach focuses on speed and precision as opposed to trying to teach you every detail of every law, which is an impossible task. Using Grossman’s approach I completed the MBE sections in only 1 hour and 20 minutes each, that’s less than half the allotted 3 hours per section. This program is not a compliment to other bar preparation programs, it is a MUST if you want to breeze through the MBE like I did.

Prior to contacting Whats the Issue, I had tried so hard to pass the bar exam, and unsuccessfully used about 4 other courses out there. However, when I finally came across Whats the Issue, I was able to meet weekly with Jonathan Grossman, and utilized his study strategies which helped me understand and conquer the bar exam. I worked full time, am a wife and a mother, so the quality not the quantity was key for me. By meeting weekly with him and listening over and over "dumb down the questions, and just take time and read each question," made me really look at the subjects that were being tested and eliminate the incorrect answers. He also broke down the subjects in a way I have never seen before I would recommend to everyone that they contact Whats the issue and Jonathan Grossman. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR FINALLY HELPING ME REACH MY GOAL.

Dear Bar Exam Candidates:
If the LSAT is basically a test of how bad you want to go to law school, then the Bar Exam, especially the MBE, is really a much tougher standardized test of how bad you want to be a lawyer. And, with plummeting bar passage rates in Florida, New Jersey, etc. (just Google them) I just couldn’t take the risk in not passing, which is why I sought the expert help of Jon Grossman—before I ever failed. This may seem somewhat counter-intuitive to smart, competitive, law students, but a first-time bar exam failure is forever (just Google that too), and a low MBE score is the main reason candidates fail.
Now, you may hear from some former law students, faculty, and practicing attorneys that if you do most of a “Big Box” company’s bar review course that “you will be fine.” Well, that may have been true in Florida before they added Civil Procedure to the MBE, and 5 new subjects to the Florida essays (where knowing MBE topics “cold” will help you in writing essays—trust me), but I would not really count on that now.
Jon Grossman’s Adaptibar Videos (I did them all) and our personal sessions showed me the way through the MBE with techniques to “keep things separate” in Torts and “it’s just a definition” in Real Property. With that, I am happy to say that I am now a first-time bar exam passer for both the Florida and New Jersey bar exams. Bottom Line: Turn the tables on you bar exam “competition,” which in reality is whoever else is taking the bar exam that season (as it’s curved), and work with Jon Grossman and do what he says before you ever fail---not after.
Best of Luck!

Jonathan has a very straightforward, no frills approach to studying for the bar. If you follow his well developed study plan – you cannot fail.
There’s no magic to passing the Bar – and Jonathan reminds you of this throughout the preparation process. Jonathon sticks to the fundamentals of law as it applies to the Bar exam. He guides you through the tedious preparation process using foolproof study techniques that build your confidence – as well has your knowledge – so that you will be 100% ready on Bar exam day — and he does so with a sense of wit and humor that actually makes the process seem fun.

AdaptiBar is the best preparation for the MBE portion of the Bar exam. They use real questions from past Bar exams and I found this to be very helpful in my preparation. The video lectures are another great feature of AdaptiBar. Jonathan Grossman explains the material in a way that is very easy to understand and memorize. He is straight to the point and gives many examples. After watching the videos I finally understood some of the concepts that I struggled with while I was in law school. The videos are also much shorter than the videos in some of the other commercial courses. They cover every important segment of the MBE topics but without going into unnecessary details. I didn't feel overwhelmed with the material like I did when I watched other videos. Jonathan also talks about techniques on how to approach the MBE questions. This helped me tremendously because I learned how to read the MBE questions, find the issue and pick the right answer. I HIGHLY recommend Jonathan's lectures and classes to everyone who is preparing for the Bar exam. It is so worth it!!! I am forever grateful for Jonathan's help.
Thank you, Jonathan!

After having failed the Florida bar exam 4 times in a row, between 2013 to 2014, I knew I needed help. I had lost complete confidence in myself and didn't know how to get it all back. Through word of mouth, a number of reputable persons within the bar-prep industry recommended that I team up with Jonathan Grossman.
Jonathan is an absolute MASTER at coaching/tutoring students to pass the bar. The combination of Jonathan's program and the AdaptiBAR videos, were the real reasons I finally passed the FL Bar exam on my 5th and final attempt. In essence, the AdaptiBAR videos SAVED MY LIFE.
The AdaptiBar video lectures proved to be 2000% more effective and concise than the boring & overwhelming videos from those "large commercial courses". The videos will equip you with all the information you need to pass each subject ( in 3 hours or less).
If you do everything that Jonathan asks of you, YOU WILL PASS THE BAR EXAM. Trust me, I failed 4 times and had plenty of reasons to be discouraged.
Jonathan, THANK YOU for all of your coaching, guidance, and mentoring. I will forever be indebted to you.

After experiencing success during my academic career, including all three years of law school, I was introduced to a word I hadn't seen in all my academic ventures prior: "FAIL."
When I graduated law school, I did what the majority of my classmates did and I signed up for BarBri in order to prepare myself for the Bar exam. I did my best to follow their instructions and guidelines, which generally consisted of watching around 4 hours of video lectures per day, and what seemed like hundreds of practice problems after. The BarBri schedule had me working from sunup to sundown, and gave me a false sense of security in thinking that I was actually being productive; I wasn't.
Granted, this approach worked for many of my friends who took Barbri and passed the Bar on their first try. But for me, the approach seemed to value quantity over quality, sacrificing analysis and clarity for an arbitrary amount of problem sets. I felt as though I was learning tips and tricks for exam taking, and had little to no actual knowledge of the law in my head. Then, before I knew it, it was time to take the Bar. I felt so unbelievably prepared by this approach that, in retrospect, I should not have taken the exam. But I did, and I failed. Miserably.
This is where Adaptibar and Jonathan Grossman saved the day. Mr. Grossman was highly recommended by a mutual friend, and I jumped at the chance for a fresh start. From day 1, under Jonathan's guidance, I began re-wiring my brain and unlearning all the "tips" and "tricks" I had been told would ensure my passing the exam. The hardest thing I had to learn was that, in order to succeed on this beast of a test, I had to do something that I hadn't properly done before during my Bar prep: I had to actually read the question.
Adaptibar and Jonathan have a program that values quality over quantity, and rather than filling my head full of "tricks", have a simple, yet effective approach to each question. For each question, you are simply urged to read the question and then ask yourself, "What are they asking me here?". It sounds simple enough, but if you're like me and you did one of any number of test prep courses, you know that you are urged to jump to the call of the question/read answer choices/read the question backwards before ever figuring out what the examiners are asking.
Simply put, Jonathan made studying for the bar manageable, and he taught me how to study smart. There are no magical tricks or patterns. The most important thing I learned was to have confidence in myself and what I know, and to "shut up and pick it."
I give this program my highest recommendation.

Jon's what's the issue videos were a blessing as a repeat taker of the NY Bar Exam. Having already taken the full Barbri course the first time around, I was looking for a condensed video series that was able to teach me the fundamentals without having to spend all of my study time redoing the Barbri course. When I found Jon's videos I was really pleased. I started out with just buying one of the small videos for my weaker areas to try out and later wound up purchasing the entire set of videos. My MBE score dramatically increased and I wound up passing the NY Bar. Thanks!!!
The words ‘thank you’ doesn’t cut it. I would have never, ever felt as confident as I did walking into the February Maryland Bar Exam had I not followed your approach. The first time I took the bar exam, I used one of the traditional ‘nationally recognized’ courses to prepare for the MBE and Essay portion of the Maryland Bar Exam. Going into the July test, I knew nearly half of the amount of the rules of law I needed for the MBE portion….and it showed on results day, having scored nearly 40 points below a passing score, a 98 on the MBE, and a below average score on the essay portion.
Before continuing, I need to give a kudos to my mom, Barbara. She found you with a quick google and urged me to watch one of your MBE videos on Adaptibar. I recognized the value after just one video and told my mom to purchase the whole video package. From the first day I watched your videos and followed your methodology, I never looked back. Thanks to you, I knew the rules of law cold, as you preached in your videos, when I stepped foot into the test center that for the first day of the February exam. I was confident in my knowledge of the law to aggressively attack the test, and when I saw the answer I knew was right I told myself, “Nothing further is needed…SHUT UP AND PICK IT!”
I won’t forget Results day for the rest of my life. I went outside my office, checked my phone, saw my seat number with the PASS next to it and nearly got arrested because police officers were unsure of my loud screaming and yelling with joy and triumph in my law firm building’s parking lot. I passed the bar exam this time by nearly 40 points above a ‘passing score’ in Maryland, increased my MBE score by 30 points, and increased my overall essay score by 16 points. I do want to add your approach helped me dramatically for the MBE AND the Essay Portion. 7 out of the 10 essays tested on the Maryland Bar Exam were MBE subjects!
I can’t explain in words how much your approach helped me to attack this test---a test that I never thought I would be prepared for after the first failure. ‘Thank you’ won’t cut it either but I’ll end with this. A friend of mine who just graduated is (naturally like all law school graduates) very nervous for the MBE portion of the Bar Exam specifically. My advice to him was, “Learn the Rules of Law tested on the MBE cold and for each question, you will see the correct answer quickly and when you do SHUT UP AND PICK IT!!!!”
John Leppler
After taking (and failing) the bar exam twice a year for three years I was mentally and emotionally exhausted. I had just finished getting my 6th denial letter for the February 2015 exam and was really considering giving up and not taking the July exam because at that point it seemed to be a practice in futility.
However, a friend of mine recommended Jonathan’s program, and though I was skeptical at first because I had tried every other program under the sun I decided I truly had nothing left to lose and decided to give him a call. First, Jonathan told me that I was not alone and that he had coached many people who were multiple exam takers which immediately put me at ease. Failing and retaking the exam is such an isolating experience that you really feel as if you are alone during the whole process. It was a relief for him to tell me that I knew the material, but I simply wasn’t applying it in the right manner. More importantly, he said that somewhere along the way I had stopped believing that I could pass. Jonathan told me directly that he believed in me, but now he needed me to believe in myself. To me, this was easier said than done, but slowly as the weeks went by I started to relax more. Instead of predicting failure, I scaled my expectations back and instead focused on just understanding what the question was asking me. Telling that voice of doubt in the back of my head to SHUT UP AND PICK IT.
Though he said I knew the material, Jonathan still recommended that I view his video lecture series posted on his site. As a repeat Bar Taker, I had already seen enough lectures to last me a lifetime, but I was committed with going all in and purchased all of them. The subjects were presented in the most straight forward way possible and really stressed the importance of keeping the basics as simple as possible. Rather than having these long and laborious definitions, Jonathan forces you to strip away all the excess fat and keep the meat of what you are learning. He presented it to me this way, “Do you want to get one question on the exception to the exception correct? or do you want to get the 5 questions on basic contract formation correct?” And by adopting that philosophy, I saw a dramatic change in how I retained the information! Before Jonathan, I knew (or at least thought I knew) everything on every subject verbatim, but after Jonathan I knew what I NEEDED to know to pass.
When you fail, there is an automatic assumption that you didn’t know enough. That you need to dig deeper into the material and find all the subtle nuances of Products Liability, or all the exceptions to Hearsay, and for some that method works. But for me, I needed Jonathans videos to really prioritize the things that I needed to know. Get the simple basic black letter law down, and let the rest flow from there.
Now, July has come and gone, and I am finally a licensed member of the Florida Bar. I truly could not have gotten over this last hurdle without Jonathan coaching me and I implore all of you who are struggling with this exam to get in contact with him!
Andrew B. Courtney, Esq.
Simple, clear and motivating are just some of the words I would use to describe Jon and his videos. It was my third time studying for the MBE and I felt like I was digging myself into a deeper hole every time I failed. That is until I met Jon and started using his program and watching his videos. I was so tired and frustrated of the commercial bar prep programs, not to mention all the money I spent for those. However, I was reassured by friends that the videos were worth it and would make all the difference, and they did. I created small outlines of literally everything substantive Jon said in the videos and those became my lifeline. The videos are short and concise that it's almost scary, but like Jon says "that is all you need to know". He focuses on the big issues that are actually tested and removes all the clutter that makes studying for the bar so overwhelming.
I wish that I knew about Jon and his program sooner, I owe my success on the bar to him.
Anya
I can't say THANK YOU enough. I finally passed the bar after "several" attempts. I tried other traditional bar courses and they did not work but your VIDEOS were definitely on point!!! I watched every video 3x and when I took the bar this time the
the answers were "jumping" out at me. THANK YOU again for creating those EXCELLENT videos. I HIGHLY recommend them for anyone who needs to conquer the MBE. Your constant encouragement and test taking strategies was exactly what I needed to pass the Florida Bar!
TA-Orlando
Working with Jon on bar prep was nothing short of a wonderful learning experience that lead to my success in passing the FL bar exam. He has a streamlined, straightforward approach to bar prep that is proven and highly effective. Having been a repeat test taker, my confidence was shot and I was constantly stressed about my exam performance. Jon has a way of calming students and leading them in the right direction towards productive study habits and cutting out excess materials that other commercial bar prep courses waste your time with. His sense of humor and compassionate attitude combined with his expertise in the exam content and strategy leaves you in the best hands possible! I would recommend his services to anyone who needs extra help in passing the bar exam. Whatever your study style or methodology, Jon will find the right schedule and exercises for you to succeed and pass!

I was a student in Mr. Grossman's bar prep class and I was in my last trimester of pregnancy. Despite that, I attended every single class and practiced with the Adaptibar program. I graduated April 2019 and I wanted to take the July bar, SO BAD! But I knew I wasn't ready. Motherhood was A LOT to handle with an infant, so I decided to postpone taking the bar to February 2020. I completed 90% of Adaptibar and low and behold, I PASSED; ON MY VERY FIRST TRY!!! I got my scores back May 22nd and I can't tell you how excited I was to see my name on that pass list [my state publishes the NAMES of people who pass]. I walked into the exam MBE day and I felt ready [still nervous, of course] but I felt prepared. I watched every single one of his videos on Adaptibar, and did ALL of the video outlines [which were a Godsend]. I literally memorized the video outlines and knew every nuance about the videos [I even memorized the jokes that he told on the videos, lol yes, I was that much of a loser], but it WORKED! I stopped overanalyzing, and I just shut the heck up and picked the answer. I was stupidly doing both Adaptibar's and my bar prep company's multiple choice questions the first 3 weeks of my studying and then I read one of the blogs on Adaptibar that mentioned NOT to do multiple choice questions from other companies since Adaptibar's multiple choice questions were actual exam questions. That was the BEST advice ever!
All in all, Mr. Grossman is A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. The way he teaches the material is straight to the point, no fluff, no case law garbage, nothing but what you need to know for the test. I understood more about the MBE topics than I did in my 3.5 years in law school [taking 15 weeks of classes for each topic]. If more professors taught like Mr. Grossman, students wouldn't be so confused, law school could be taught in about 1.5 years [including electives, etc.] and it wouldn't have to be so expensive. If I didn't have Adaptibar I'm pretttyyyy positive I would not have passed. Thank you for changing my and my family's life, Mr. Grossman!
Attorney Lashawn McQueen
I wholeheartedly recommend Prof. Jonathan Grossman’s video lecture series for the Florida Bar Exam. I graduated law school and previously passed the Florida Bar 20 years ago. My license lapse due to my no longer practicing law. I decided to sit for the July/Oct 2020 Florida Bar Exam. Like everyone else taking the Bar I purchased one of the “big box” bar prep classes and while it was great at teaching all the law I needed to know for the exam and preparing for the multiple choice section of the Florida exam, it was not as helpful with preparing me for the essays. I had little to no confidence writing the essays, I was scoring poorly on the graded essays and my Bar prep class did not really give me practicable direction on HOW to write an essay that scores points. I was resigned to the fact that I would likely not do well on the essays.
Then I heard about Prof. Grossman’s lectures and I asked the person who recommended them about it as I had never heard of him or his lectures before. Her quote sealed it for me. She said “I only passed the Florida Bar because of Prof. Grossman’s video lectures. I listened to them all the time”. That sealed the deal for me. I bought the full set and began to listen to them over and over again at home, in my office and on my commute. Prof. Grossman has a gift of teaching you the big law concepts in an entertaining way but more importantly he teaches you HOW to use that information for a bar exam essay to do one thing – get points. My confidence in my essay writing increased the more I listened and spoke out loud (yes Prof. Grossman recommends this and trust me it works!) the more I knew and retained and the more I was able to write on practice essays before even getting to the facts at hand. All this resulted in my confidence increasing tremendously! This was important as I went into the exam with the confidence to take on the essays and do well, which I did as I passed and was sworn in last December!
Professor Grossman was also very responsive to me when I reached out to him to ask him about the new format of the exam when Florida went to an online format sue to COVID-19. He also generously offered his time to grade my essays and provide me valuable feedback.
A BIG thank you to Professor Grossman for his efforts with the video lecture series! I could not have passed the Bar without them.
