Bar Candidate Testimonials


 
Very methodical. The lectures are helpful, giving a quick yet to-the-point review on each subject. The greatest part is that you can replay those lectures on the go which saves a lot of time for people working or having other life commitments.
Jing Y.
I really liked Emond’s questions and found they were as challenging and at the same level as the actual bar exam. Probably the best questions out of the several I purchased.
Tolou M.
Best exam prep for Ontario Bar in the market. The practice questions which have detailed answers for review and flashcards are a must. It is money and time well spent. Thank you Emond—my exams were a one-time attempt!
Fola A.
The Emond Practice Bar Exams allowed me to experience the pressure of the Bar beforehand, test my knowledge and ensure I was ready to crush the Bar on test day! Their questions are very similar to the real test, and their explanations help you better understand areas you need more work in.
Lila M.
I have a hard time concentrating and moving forward when self studying. The Barrister course was a great way to keep me interested and on track! The professors explained the parts of the licensing material I was having a hard time understanding. They used real life examples I could compare the notes to. I honestly do not think I would have been successful in my examination if it wasn't for these courses.
Anna C.
I'm so grateful Emond Exam Prep. I had failed both the Barrister and Solicitor exams the first time I wrote them and was eager to find tools to help me pass the second time around. I purchased the courses and practice exams for both Barrister and Solicitor and they helped me immensely to pass on my second try! I really recommend the courses for visual learners and suggest taking as many practice exams as you can. Thank you Emond!
Alanis O.
The barrister exam webinar is an excellent resource that brings the LSO study materials to life. After the webinar, when you review the materials, you feel more confident and better understand them.
Sarah Z.
Emond was a great resource for me in writing the solicitor and barrister exam in Ontario. They provide well-thought-out and structured material to help any student be far more prepared when going into the exam. I specifically liked starting with the online lectures to get a basic understanding of the material before I dove into my actual reading. Additionally, the lecturers were great! This approach allowed me to appreciate and understand the material that I was reading, rather than just highlighting aimlessly. The practice exam is also very well crafted, similar to the exam, and the explanations of the answers were helpful. Thanks Emond!
Jonathan M.
Thank you very much to Emond for the fantastic practice examinations and analytics. I utilised the Emond practice tests in the last few days prior to the exams. My results in these practice tests gave me immense confidence that not only could I pass the exams but also I was able to feel confident that my time-keeping was healthy. I cannot recommend Emond highly enough to LSO Licensing students.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • The lecture outlines for our courses are based on the accreditation competencies that the LSO identifies as entry-level competencies. These competencies can be seen on the LSO website. Our courses focus on those substantive areas that tend to be most challenging for exam candidates.

Our exam preparation resources adhere to the rules set by the LSO and other licensing bodies, and do not contain licensing exam questions or content.

    Emond's Practice Exams are written to simulate the types of questions you will encounter on your licensing or designation examination so that you have a better understanding of what to expect. They offer an opportunity to improve your exam-writing techniques and hone your critical thinking skills under examination conditions.

    Practice exams will also help you identify your strongest and weakest subject areas so that you can strategically adjust your studying and make yourself equally strong across all exam topics.

  • In many cases, candidates begin preparing for their licensing and designation exams well in advance of receiving any study materials. We encourage the use of our resources as part of this preparation.
