Contact BarMax Bar Exam MBE MPRE Support

Followed the directions on the site to apply for the public interest scholarship. 2 days later I was told that I did not qualify for it with no explanation as to why. I did exactly what was instructed which was to send a letter explaining intent to pursue career in public interest and that I would pay it back if I did not follow through. I also sent over a copy of my resume showing I worked a a clerk with the MI AG’s office as will as PD’s office in FL. After I was told I did not qualify I sent over a screenshot of what the website stated. After I sent the email I got a response from Lauren saying she was sorry but I still did not qualify with no explanation. I forwarded all of my communication with her to any email address I could find associated with BarMax. I checked the website again and the added a note to it stating that you may not be approved. I still have the screenshot to show that it was not present previously. While I’m pleased to see the subsequent remedial measures taken, I’m disgusted with the way they operate. I am also glad I found out that they do shady business before investing any of my money at all. Buyer beware.

I submitted my public interest application a month ago and have not heard back. I’ve made calls, sent texts, and two emails asking for updates. Still nothing. Today, I finally reached someone on the customer service line who told me she couldn’t answer my question. I also read online that from a review that you would still need to pay additional fees for the lifetime access. If that’s the case, I need to pause my account because I won’t be taking bar exam due to covid. At this point I don’t know who to go to who could answer my questions or address my concerns. I told the woman on the customer service line that I’m worried no one will get back to me once I submitted my payment. She told me to have a great day. Before I paid, people from Bar Max were calling me proactively. Now it feels like no one cares because they took my money already. I wish I could back in time and choose another bar prep company. This is extremely unprofessional.

I used BarMax for CA & NY. Passed both 1x. Having said that, if you’re not taking CA I’d stay far away from BarMax. The course is written for CA bar and just edits out material for other jurisdictions. It’s a real nightmare when you’re in the middle of bar prep, eg why on earth is Prop 8 being mentioned in a Evidence outline for UBE. The company shrugged off numerous complaints. I ended up just relying on a used BarBri Conviser Mini Review book and abandoning BarMax halfway through for remainder of my NY prep... which surprisingly is verbatim (yes verbatim!) the BarMax outlines read out loud by their founder, not a law professor, not sure he’s even a lawyer... I swear I wish these companies were regulated by NCBE. I really wanted to make a formal complaint.
