So you have to have a life that can do that, you know, which indicates a certain amount of at least either privilege or maybe hard work and saving if that's how you did it, which is great.

And then almost assuredly, you have paid several thousand dollars, maybe as much as six thousand dollars to take preparatory courses.

About 60 percent of the market share in the United States is a company called B.A.R.B.R.I.

Barbary can be up to six thousand, maybe as low as eighteen hundred bucks.

And they have been around since the 1950s.

And I was I was like, what does Barbary stand for?

And I had a

weirdly hard time finding out uh what it stood for until i sadly wikipedia just turned it up i should have gone to the most obvious place but i think when they merged in 2021 uh or no no they merged in the 70s i think uh and it was just the the names of two companies i think bay area review was bar and the bar review inc was bri and so they just squashed those together so

Kind of a boring story.

I had seen that it was a merger of Barbizon Modeling School and Brie, meaning the makers of Brie cheese around the world.

Wow.

That's a mashup I could enjoy.

Right.

And the $6,000 one that you can pay for, like the premium test prep, they actually have somebody take the test for you, and they even provide the person with a wig that matches your hair.

So it looks a lot like you, too.

I did see, though, they have a guarantee.

If you do not, if you pay that money to them and you don't pass the bar, you, I think you get to take the course again for free one more time if you're taking the exam again.

Okay.

So you don't get your money back, but you get to retake the course at no charge.

No.
