The Bar Code Cheat Sheets are essay "templates" designed for the larger, more complex issues tested on the California Bar Examination. They are roadmaps or skeleton outlines that lay out in detail the organizational structure applicants should follow for a variety of selected essay topics. The Cheat Sheets offer a ready-set approach designed to minimize "thinking" and "organizing" time at the outset of each essay.

Included with each Cheat Sheet are detailed footnotes that offer tips and tricks for how to analyze each of the legal principles contained therein. The Bar Code Cheat Sheets are designed to be a supplement, not a substitute, for a complete set of substantive review materials.

The Bar Code Cheat Sheets in Action book contains a copy of each of the Cheat Sheets listed below and a sample answer that illustrates how to incorporate each Cheat Sheet into an essay for the California Bar Examination. Each answer was written by Whitney Roberts, former bar grader and founder of The Bar Code review course, and was specifically designed to show students how to write passing answers in the scoring range of 80-85 within the one-hour time limit.
