It’s a simple question — but the answer should be anything but.
At Helix Bar Review, we believe in transparency and accuracy. Some companies use self-reported surveys or cherry-picked data to inflate results. Others rely on name recognition and hope you'll trust them without asking.
We don’t do that.
Our pass rates include all first-time J.D. takers who complete at least 75% of the course — including 75% of what we call “benchmark coursework,” the core tasks most predictive of bar success. Even if someone passes but doesn’t meet that threshold, they’re not counted. If we can’t verify a result, it’s counted as a non-pass.
That’s accountability — and it’s central to who we are.
Still, we urge you not to choose a course based on pass rates alone. Bar prep success depends on the quality of the course and the work you put in. Aim to complete 75% or more of whatever course you choose — ideally, 85% or more.
There are no shortcuts. But there is a better way. Helix is here to help you take it.
