$999 is cheap for a bar review. Prices do vary from state to state, but BarMax, Barbri, and Kaplan all offer programs for the CA bar.

Barbri for California: $4,135 http://www.barbri.com/courseInfo/barReviewCourse/pricing.htm...

Kaplan for California $2,190 http://www.kaptest.com/Bar-Exam/Bar-Review-Courses/General-B...

Cheaper than other forms of Bar Exam prep like BarBri or Kaplan which run in the thousands.

Cheaper than the books it replaces, which I heard cost thousands of dollars.
