In-person classes and tutors

Study groups

Ask classmates or your school's alumni office. A small group that meets on a schedule and works on questions can help. Keep it structured.

Quiet places to study

Public libraries, university libraries, law libraries and coworking spaces can provide quiet. Ask whether alumni or the public may use a law library, what its hours are and whether there is a guest policy. Test the location for a few days before relying on it.

Choosing a testing site

Some boards let you choose among sites, and popular ones fill early. Consider travel time, cost and familiarity. Book lodging early if you must travel, especially in cities with events on exam dates.

Hotels, transportation and parking

Look for lodging within a short, reliable trip of the site. Check parking rules and costs, public transit schedules, and a backup plan. Do a trial trip at the same time of day if you can.

Candidates commonly test in and around New York City, Albany, Buffalo, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Sacramento, San Diego, Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Atlanta, Miami, Tampa, Dallas, Houston, Austin, Seattle, Portland, Denver, Phoenix and Las Vegas.
