1. Bar Courses. Check the courses tested in the state in which you plan to take the
   Bar Exam. Take a course in every area of law tested on the Bar in your state. The
   Bar-Bri Digest lists all courses for all states. It is better to have familiarity with the
   subject matter rather than trying to learn new material during bar review.
