Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything about AccelaStudy® AI Bar — the exams, the grading, the money, and the parts we do not do.
Jurisdictions & Exam Choice
Which jurisdictions do you cover?
Both current exams, which in practice means all of them. Choose the legacy UBE track or the NextGen track to match where you are sitting and the course follows. What we do not cover is your jurisdiction’s admission process — deadlines, character and fitness, registration, and any state-specific component are set by your board of bar examiners.
How do I find out which exam my jurisdiction gives?
Your board of bar examiners publishes it, and NCBE maintains a public list of NextGen adopting jurisdictions with their first administration dates. Treat the board as the authority: it is the body that will seat you.
What is the timeline for the changeover?
Ten jurisdictions gave the NextGen bar exam for the first time in July 2026. Roughly fifty are expected to have moved by July 2028, and the final legacy UBE administration is February 2028.
My jurisdiction switches to NextGen before my exam date. Do I buy again?
No. Both tracks are in one subscription, and switching is free. What you have already proven carries across — the engine does not make you re-earn it.
Do you cover state-specific law components?
No. Some jurisdictions add a state law component or a separate state exam alongside the national one; those vary and are set locally. This course prepares you for the national exam.
Do you cover the MPRE?
Yes, and it is free — no subscription of any kind required. See the MPRE page.
Essays, Performance Tests & Grading
Is the grading fair?
You can audit it yourself on every single essay. Each graded submission comes back with the rubric visible: which issues were available, what each was worth, which ones you raised, which rules you stated correctly, and where the points went. There is no holistic black-box score to take on trust.
Is “unlimited” genuinely unlimited?
Yes. No per-essay credits, no monthly allowance, no fair-use asterisk in the terms. Write as many essays and performance tasks as you want, for as long as you subscribe.
How fast is grading?
Under a minute, every time — including at 2am the week before the exam. Speed is the point: feedback that arrives while the fact pattern is still in your head is feedback you can act on.
How can a machine grade a bar essay?
The same way a bar grader does, mechanically: against a structured issue map with weights. Each essay carries its own rubric before you ever see the prompt, and grading checks your answer against it issue by issue. What it will not do is form an impression of your prose — and prose impressions are not where bar points live.
What is it not good at?
Judgement about style, voice, and the kind of nuance an experienced grader brings after twenty years. We would rather say that plainly than pretend otherwise. What it is reliably good at is the part that improves you fastest: which issues you missed, which rules you got wrong, and doing it often enough to change how you write.
Do performance tasks get the same treatment?
Yes — a split-pane workspace with the task memo, File and Library side by side and a 90-minute clock, graded on task compliance and quality of analysis, with both scores broken down. Unlimited, like the essays.
Studying & Timeline
When should I start?
For the standard post-graduation sprint, the month you finish exams. If you are still in law school, earlier is strictly better — JD Support at $39/mo keeps the doctrine warm for a fraction of bar-season pricing, and the MPRE course is free whenever you want it.
How many hours a day does this expect?
You tell it. Autopilot takes your exam date and the minutes a day you actually have, builds the plan around that, and rebuilds it when a week disappears — rather than handing you a schedule that assumes an empty calendar.
What happens when I fall behind?
The plan is re-cut, not abandoned. Missing four days does not put you permanently in deficit against a fixed calendar; it changes what the next session works on.
Will it tell me when I’m ready?
It gives you a pass probability with a confidence band, projected forward to your exam date and recomputed after every session. It is a forecast, not a promise — but finding out you are short in April is worth a great deal more than finding out in July.
I failed a previous attempt. Is this useful for a retake?
That is the case it is built for. Retakers usually do not need more lectures; they need to find out which specific thing cost them the points. Root-cause diagnosis and unlimited graded writing are exactly the two things a repeat attempt is short of.
Do you publish pass rates?
No. The product has not launched, so any pass-rate figure would be invented — and we would rather show you the rubric than a number you cannot check.
Pricing & Billing
What does it cost?
$299/mo month to month, or $239/mo on annual billing ($2,868 a year, saving $720). JD doctrinal support is a separate lighter tier at $39/mo. The MPRE course is free.
Can I cancel any time?
Yes, in one click. Paid access runs to the end of the period you have already paid for, then stops. Bar prep is seasonal and the billing is built for that.
Is there a free trial?
A 7-day free trial, per product — sign up through AccelaStudy AI Bar and you trial AccelaStudy AI Bar. One trial per product, per account.
What if I stop and come back for a retake?
Resubscribe at the price published at that time. Your profile, proficiency and history are preserved, so you resume rather than restart.
Does this include other AccelaStudy AI products?
No. Every product in the family is an independent subscription — no bundles, no stacking. You can see the whole family at accelastudy.ai or on the Other Products page.
When can I subscribe?
At launch in December 2026 — targeting Monday, December 7, 2026. Nothing is charged before then, and the plan buttons on the pricing page are deliberately inert until it opens.
Access, Privacy & Accessibility
What do I need to run it?
A modern browser. The writing workspaces are designed for a laptop-sized screen because that is what you will sit the exam on; everything is readable on a tablet.
Is my work private?
Yes. Zero tracking cookies, zero third-party analytics, zero tracking pixels, and fonts served from our own servers rather than a third-party CDN. Your essays and your proficiency data are yours.
Is it accessible?
The platform meets WCAG 2.1 Level AA: full keyboard navigation, screen reader support, a high-contrast theme beyond dark mode, reduced-motion support, and text that scales to 200% without breaking. Details on the accessibility page.
Dark mode?
On every platform, including this website. Bar prep happens at night.
Who makes this?
Renkara Media Group, Inc. — independent and bootstrapped since 2008, with 48 patent filings and 1137 claims covering the adaptive engine. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the National Conference of Bar Examiners or any state bar admission authority.
