Magicsheets
Go from blank page to finished essay/outline by systematically identifying relevant issues and sub-issues (even if you have no idea where to start writing)
“I really wasn’t pulling together essays until after I spent a lot of time, specifically with your Approsheets. I did that for most of the essay subjects, especially the ones that I didn’t have any contact with, and I really saw myself picking up a lot more issues that way and scoring a lot higher. After that, I think that’s when I finally, finally started to feel like there’s a chance I was gonna pull it off.”—Joe U.
“I’m a pretty good exam writer, but I want to make sure I can identify all the issues and earn the max possible points. Think like a robot, an exam crushing robot.”—Kim C.

Approsheets
Step-by-step blueprints, study schedules, cheat sheets, guides, and other tools designed to help you orient yourself and propel you toward improvement
“Big box” prep courses tell you WHAT to study, but they don’t teach you HOW to prepare for the bar. Why give a person with a full-time job and a family the exact same study schedule as a person with no other responsibilities?
You’re the dean of your own studies, not anyone else. You don’t have to follow “The Plan.” No matter what you use, bar prep at its core is still a self-learning endeavor. Let me show you how.
Don’t let your bar exam be a learning experience.
Just one insight or improvement could be the difference between putting your life in limbo for 6 more months… and putting this final hurdle behind you forever and moving on with your free life:

Passer’s Playbook 2.0
A course on dealing with the mental aspects of bar preparation and organizing your emotions to take you from overwhelmed to focused, from unmotivated to productive, from anxious to calm
Have you heard the expression, “How you do anything is how you do everything”?
I would add to that: How you think is how you do.
As you continue with your bar studies, it becomes evident that mastery over your mindset is a critical component to your performance — whether during preparation or the exam itself.
Like one of my readers, Elaine, says, “The mind is 50% of this exam. It has to be in the right frame. . . . The mind is powerful.”
Or how about this, from Olivia? “I think some of my failures were heavily based on my negative attitude and constant self-deprecation.”
Likewise, TLS user lnu1992 says, “A person’s ability to handle the anxiety and stress of the exam is also huge. Even though I was a top student, I blanked during parts of the exam.”
- If you’re quick to panicking or “freaking out”…
- If you find yourself overwhelmed and having difficulty staying on track (and staying sane)…
- If you want to stop that sinking feeling of self-doubt…
Here’s a tiny sneak peek at what you’ll discover across 8 modules, dozens of text and audio lessons, and a series of short emails to keep you on track (worth the price of admission by itself):
- How to preempt burnout while enjoying your bar studies — you can make this automatic (Module 2 Lesson 2)
- The #1 predictor of your energy and focus (Module 3 Lesson 2)
- How to practically guarantee focus without relying on constant willpower (Module 3 Lesson 3)
- The principle that allows you to figure anything out (Module 6 Lesson 4)
- What you’re probably looking for instead of “confidence” (Module 4 Lesson 7)
- A thought that can keep you stuck (and miserable) until you change it (Module 5 Lesson 2)
- How to find instant calmness instead of frazzled and frantic reactions (Module 4 Lesson 4)
- [Advanced] Want to get something done? Here’s how to make it happen (I hate this one because it works so well) (Module 7 Lesson 2)
- [Advanced] I will also destroy any and all of your excuses (Module 7 Lesson 4)
- Dealing with post-bar or post-failure anxiety (Module 8)
- Plenty more in the Vault and bonus content delivered via email to keep you on track (full details here)
These are bite-sized lessons that you can take advantage of for as little as 10 minutes a day. I made this with your busy schedule and personal challenges in mind.
You’ve seen those people in law school. They’re cool and methodical under pressure, and success seems to follow them wherever they go. Do you see them saying they’ll “figure it out later” or “just deal with it,” or do you see them taking decisive action?
“How long are you going to wait before you demand the best for yourself?”
