Is this a full bar review course?

We are a high-yield intervention tool designed for the 50% of the bar exam that matters most: The MBE. While standard courses offer passive breadth, we provide surgical depth. Most students use Sigma to supplement their passive video courses with active application.

How does the flashcard conversion work?

Cognitive science dictates that the best time to learn is immediately after making a high-confidence error. Our algorithm tracks these errors and utilizes spaced repetition systems to force you into active recall rather than passive review.

What is 'Distractor Analysis'?

Standard prep courses simply give you a score. We perform a diagnostic assessment of the distractor you chose. If you select incorrect answers that have similar logical tags or subject identifier tags in our database, our system tags that specific bias so you can recalibrate your learning.

Why don't you have long video lectures?

Because of the testing effect. Research consistently shows that passive encoding (watching videos) yields significantly lower retention rates than retrieval practice (testing). We eliminate the illusion of competence that comes from watching lectures and replace it with active cognitive engagement.

Can I use this on my phone?

Absolutely. We utilize micro-learning principles to reduce friction and cognitive load. You can engage in a 5-minute, high-intensity level on the subway or a 2-hour marathon session at the library.

When is the Essay Grader coming?

We are currently beta-testing our Essay Grader. It utilizes natural language processing to identify rule application and analysis depth. For now, we remain laser-focused on maximizing your MBE score through algorithmic adaptability.

Cognitive Science Meets Law

Bar Prep engineered for retention.

A personalized curriculum based on your unique logic traps and cognitive calibration.

Precision MBE Engine

We apply Pareto efficiency to your study time. We focus exclusively on the 50% of the bar exam that yields the highest score return: The MBE.

Flashcard Conversion

Utilizes the hypercorrection protocol. We instantly convert errors into active retrieval tasks, capitalizing on the brain's surprise to permanently cement the rule.

Logic Trap Analysis

We don't just grade you. We analyze the specific distractor answers you choose, identifying and correcting the hidden cognitive biases in your legal reasoning.

Performance Telemetry

Visualize your cognitive endurance with our Pacing Tachometer and track your Recovery Rate on weak legal sub-topics.

Micro-Learning Modules

Designed for cognitive load management. Engage in high-intensity, 5-minute levels to maximize retention without burnout.

The Science of Passing

Standard bar review frequently traps students in the Illusion of Competence, a cognitive gap where lecture fluency is mistaken for substantive knowledge.

Sigma BarPrep is engineered around the testing effect, interleaved practice, and distributive practice. Cognitive science proves that the struggle to retrieve an answer is what actually builds memory. It is not enough to memorize a rule; you must build a semantic network to connect the rules and apply them.
