Helix Bar Review provides 10, 12, 16 and 20-week study schedules to fit the needs of every student. Depending on the schedule selected, students can begin their bar review course during their last semester of law school or after graduation.

Mizzou Law students enrolled in Helix Bar Review also receive Helix MBE — the perfect resource for multiple-choice practice. Helix MBE includes videos, flashcards, the Helix Game Center, and more.

Helix Bar Review also offers a free online course for the Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam (MPRE), which is available to all Mizzou Law students.

Finally, Helix is already preparing for changes to the bar exam coming in July 2026 when the NextGen exam launches. The entering class of 2023 will be the first to take the redesigned NextGen bar exam, and Mizzou Law and Helix are committed to making sure our students are ready.

Alumni who graduated prior to December 2023 may participate in Helix Bar Review at a discounted price. Alumni who are interested should contact Kellie Early at earlyk@missouri.edu for additional information.
