I've been compiling resources as I study for my AK Bar - Alaska Bar Exam certification and figured I'd share what I've found. All free unless noted.

Practice Tests:

  • PracticeTestGeeks — most comprehensive collection I've found, good question explanations, covers AK Bar - Alaska Bar Exam, AL Bar - Alabama Bar Exam, and AR Bar - Arkansas Bar Test. Free.
  • Official practice materials from the certifying body — usually 1 free sample exam, worth doing even though it's short

Study Materials:

  • The official AK Bar - Alaska Bar exam handbook / candidate guide (PDF, free from the certifying body's website)
  • YouTube — search for "AK Bar - Alaska Bar exam prep" — there are surprisingly good free video reviews for most legal & attorneys certifications
  • Reddit r/certifications — people post their exam experiences and tips regularly

Paid (worth it if budget allows):

  • Official study guides run $30-80 for most legal & attorneys certifications — worth it if your exam has lots of specific factual content
  • Some certifying bodies offer prep courses — check if your employer covers it (many do for required certifications)

What resources have others found useful for legal & attorneys exams? I'll add them to this list.

Great list. I'd add: LinkedIn Learning has some legal & attorneys-related courses that overlap with cert content, and if you have a library card many libraries give free access to it. Also check if your local library has access to O'Reilly or similar — tons of technical content there.

For AK Bar - Alaska Bar Exam specifically, I found the PracticeTestGeeks explanations were detailed enough that I didn't need to buy a separate study guide. The combination of doing the practice questions + reading every explanation (for both right and wrong answers) covered most of the content I needed.

The official candidate guide is something a lot of people skip but it literally tells you the topic weighting and domain breakdown. It's the roadmap for your study plan. Never skip it.

Quick update since I posted last week — I've been grinding through practice tests and just hit a 74% on my most recent timed set, which honestly felt like a huge jump from the 61% I was stuck at for like three weeks straight. Wasn't expecting it to click so fast once I started actually reviewing the explanations instead of just moving on after getting answers wrong.

Planning to sit in late July, so I've got about six weeks left. It's tight but I think it's doable if I keep up this pace. Good luck to everyone else on here prepping, you've got this.

Just passed last month so I wanted to pop back in here. Honestly the thing that actually moved the needle for me wasn't doing more questions, it was making sure I understood the free ak bar components breakdown before I started drilling. Once I knew what each section was actually testing, the practice tests started making way more sense.

PTG was my main resource for practice questions. I'd do a set, read every explanation even on the ones I got right, and that repetition really sticks. Don't skip the explanations. Good luck to everyone still in the grind, it's worth it.
