Helix Bar Success Payment – July 2024 Bar Exam

The Company is offering a $200 payment (“Bar Success Payment”), subject to the terms and conditions herein, to any bar exam taker who purchases from the Company a Helix UBESM, Helix CaliforniaSM, or Helix FloridaSM bar review course (each, a “Comprehensive Course”) and passes the applicable bar exam.

    2. Proof of July 2024 bar exam passage, such as copy of official notification or record from the relevant state authorities, by December 13, 2024.

The Company may also communicate with any claimant to obtain any other information needed to verify eligibility, or to issue a Bar Success Payment. Failure to do so will disqualify you from receipt of this award.

Upon confirmation of eligibility by the Company, a Bar Success Payment will be payable the following calendar month. Payment is expected to be made by electronic gift card (i.e., a prepaid payment card) delivered to the claimant’s validated email address; however, the Company, in its sole discretion may substitute another form of cash or cash equivalent of equal value (e.g., paper check) for any business reason.

The Company does not guarantee bar exam passage in connection with your use of Company products. Eligibility for a Bar Success Payment is not related to any exchange or services received from any bar exam taker or other person.

The Helix Guarantee

Bar Exam results, Bar Exam passage, or any other academic or professional results are not guaranteed by virtue of your purchase and/or use the Program. Notwithstanding, the Helix UBESM Guarantee and the Helix California Guarantee (either, the "Helix Guarantee") offers you one free repeat of the next administration of the bar review course for anyone using Helix for the first time and who completes at least 75% of the course (subject to the terms and conditions below). New books and other Program Materials are not included in the Helix Guarantee but can be purchased at cost, plus shipping for the then-current retail price, plus shipping and any applicable taxes.

You are entitled to a free repeat of the course purchased, if you meet all of the following criteria:

  • You are a first-time user of the Program;
  • You purchased the Program at least six (6) weeks prior to the Bar Exam date;
  • You completed 75% of the Program prior to the Bar Exam date, including full completion of the following benchmark coursework:
    • Three (out of four) MBE Practice Exams;
    • The MBE portion of the Simulated Exam; and
    • Submission of three (out of five) Graded Essays
  • Failed the Bar Exam or provide evidence of registration for the Bar Exam and valid reason(s) for failure to sit for the exam;
  • Use the free repeat for the next administration of the same jurisdiction's exam.

To claim the free course, you must notify us at Support@helixbarreview.org by providing your name and account email address. You must email a copy of your official bar exam results within 30 days of the date on the notice of failure. Failure to do so within 30 days waives your right to claim this Helix Guarantee. Once all information has been received and reviewed, the Company will determine your eligibility.

Students passing the bar after claiming the Helix Guarantee are not eligible to receive the Bar Success Payment.
