EMOND EXAM PREP

Drawing on decades of legal expertise, Emond has cultivated exam preparation materials to help students acquire the skills, knowledge, and discipline to pass their Canadian licensing and certification exams. Each course curriculum, practice exam, and virtual flashcard package is designed in accordance with the required competencies that the licensing body indicates will be tested on the examination. With a team of lawyers, professors, and professionals in the legal education field, we regularly revise, update, and improve our materials to ensure that they are challenging, accurate, and up-to-date.

Support that helps you prepare with confidence

We have been in your position and understand what you are up against. This is why we work so hard to provide the tools, strategies, and support you need to succeed.

There are few experiences more stressful than preparing for a professional licensing or designation exam. Candidates are expected to learn hundreds of pages of dense material with little support or guidance. The investment of time, money, and energy means sacrificing evenings, weekends, time with loved ones, and other cherished experiences. The stakes are high—failing the exam can crush self-confidence, delay your career, and require repeating the entire experience over again. You don’t want that, and neither do we!

The [Emond Exam Prep] course was very helpful. I particularly found it exceptional because the instructors were so knowledgeable and communicated an overview of the courses in such an understandable manner that reassured me and I feel so confident about taking the exam.

At Emond Publishing, we’re in the business of legal education. Professor Paul Emond published the very first Emond casebook in 1978. More than 40 years later, Emond Publishing is one of the leading publishers of casebooks used in law schools across Canada, award-winning legal practice resources trusted by members of the bar and bench, and textbooks required for Canadian paralegal, immigration, and employment law programs.

Beginning in 2013 with the Barrister and Solicitor review course, formerly known as the CanBarPrep course, Emond’s exam preparation programs have since expanded to serve candidates writing the Paralegal licensing exam, the CICC Entry to Practice Exam, and the NCA^TM Exams. Our legal publishing team collaborates with highly qualified lawyers, professors, and legal experts—many of whom authored your college, university, and law school texts—to craft exam preparation resources that candidates can trust will be accurate, challenging, and up-to-date. These resources include practice exams, exam preparation courses, digital flashcards, and other tools that teach exam success strategies and foundational knowledge.

Today, over 10,000 candidates have passed their exams with the help of Emond's exam preparation programs. Our resources are continually updated, adapted, and refined to reflect the feedback of our customers, and to meet the needs of today’s exam candidates. If you are seeking expert guidance, quality study materials, and responsive customer support, Emond is here to help.

I’ve tried several different practice questions, and Emond's were by far the best ones. The software is very straightforward, and having the explanation for the answers helped my preparation a lot.

“The Emond [Exam Prep] course was a lifesaver for the [exam]! I passed after the first sitting and attribute this largely to the high quality of the course materials and instructors. Before I registered for the course, I was overwhelmed with the amount of material that needed to be covered in such a short time frame. Personally, I found that using Emond’s Powerpoint slides to guide my reading in the LSO materials before attending lectures was the most effective strategy for learning unfamiliar concepts and retaining information for the exam. Overall, I can’t recommend this course enough!”

Thank you very much to Emond for the fantastic practice examinations and analytics. I utilized 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.
