If you need a new batch of essays and model answers, I discovered another resource. all4jds has a repository center on the Bar Exam, and under that, a page on the California Bar Exam where they house essay exams and model answers back to the 1990's! Essay exams are also divided by subject so that you can zero in on Torts or Con Law or. . .
Now's the time to review essays, remember the rules, and wind down for the wind up on Tuesday.

A private tutor is a good idea BUT don't go with one unless you do your homework first! I went with "Bar with Bobby" in Los Angeles and paid lots of money (over $6000!)and some students paid even up to $8000! He was selling me hope and I took it hook, line and sinker.
Find a tutor that has experience, is dependable, reliable and knowledgable. The tutor gave us mini outlines that he passed off as his own. I discovered later it was his notes from BarBri's course. The essays we had to write were chosen from the BarBri essay book and he expected our answers to be a "rewritten" version of their answers. He also didn't know the law and expected us to obtain our own material for the new subjects. What did I pay him for? I expected him to know it.
A private tutor should also be available. This tutor was never available because he came in at 11 a.m. and left at 4:30 p.m. because he had to take the bus. What happened if I needed to review over my essay after 4:30 p.m.? He was suppose to stay in the office till 7 p.m. Calling was not allowed.
I should have left but it was already too late because the bar review course require payment in full. He wouldn't give me a refund either. It was 4 1/2 weeks to the bar so I continued. I regret that.
So please make sure you have actual testimonies from students WHO PASSED. Do your research! Ask questions, see what materials are being used. Hire a tutor that inspires you to pass not one that treats you as a second class student.
