Examinees
Every one has a different tip and technique so I've decided to share how
much we vary and see what works for you.

Group Philippines FB group ) - self review method
1. Get your RedBook2016. Read it along with 2017syllabi AND codal.
Cross out each item listed in the syllabus. (Read them per subject)
Why not 2017 materials? Time is the essence. Also, if you check the 2016
and 2017 syllabi and the materials issued by any review schools
there were no significant changes. The contents are almost the same.
There is no formula in passing the bar exam, but I can share 3 tips for
passing the Bar exam:
Always remember that “It is not what you do once in a while; it’s what you
do day in day out that makes the difference"- Jenny Craig
2. Pray harder
Let me share to you these are the two bible passages that I hold on to
during the bar exam:
a. Phil. 4:13: “we can do all things through Christ who strengthens me,”
b. Proverbs 3:5-6: “trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your
own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and He will make your
paths straight.”
Remember the saying: Sa tao ang gawa, nasa Diyos ang awa. All our hard
work will be fruitful if we surrender all to God. Our studies and the bar
exams will be successful as well as our dreams of becoming a lawyer will
be fulfilled if we lay it as our offering to God. Full surrender to Him and He
shall make you a lawyer. But don’t forget to give all the glory and praises
back to Him once you pass the bar exam. Also, don’t forget to pray while
studying and pray before and after the exam and again, surrender your
answers to the Lord for surely He will check your booklets for you. Pray for
the Bar Chairman and the examiners that they will be enlighten by your
answers and give the full credit you deserve. Whatever you do, just trust in
the Lord!
3. Claim it
Every time you submit your booklet, claim it that you will become a lawyer.
Do not doubt and hesitate. Do not entertain negative thoughts of failing
the bar exam. Think positive and invite positivity in your life. Claim that you
will pass the bar and claim that you are now a lawyer! Ang Diyos, at hindi si
batman, ang bahala sayo!
1. Know Thyself.
I knew that I the traffic during my travel to my review school would cause
me more stress than good so I opted to enroll to two review schools:
Albano for offline review which was a 5-minute ride from home and Chan
Robles for online review on days that I am lazy.
Knowing that I read and understand slower than my peers, I only read a
textbook and Beda Red Book once. I didn't even finish the first reading on
some subjects but I still proceeded to take the exam.
I also knew that reading all day will bore me so I still went out with the
family during weekends. During the time we are travelling, I listened to old
recorded audio lectures (2011 lectures of Riano, Uribe and Sandoval) on
my Ipod.
I also use the audio lectures whenever I prepare, cook and eat my meals
as well as washing my dishes. Every night, I also watched a TV series with
my mom. While watching, I also took that as a time to summarize,
organize and evaluate myself on what I studied for the day.
b. Know which subjects are your strongest and weakest so you can
schedule and alot the duration for them accordingly.
I only studied Taxation, a day before the exam. I found the lectures more
confusing so I used my own notes.
I only studied legal ethics using pre-week materials during the break time
before the exam.
2. Be resourceful.
On the last week of the exam, I found out where to get copies of pre-week
of different universities. I wish I knew that earlier. Though be wary of
traps. I found some intentional mistakes. Odd enough my friend who
shared me the source does not notice it and he also passed the bar so
they may not be significant.
I also regret not reading past bar exam questions and lex pareto notes
which were proven to be useful.
For the first two exam days, I couldn't sleep because I was so nervous. I
could literally hear my heart pounding all night. I wished I could have
gotten more sleep so I didn't feel like a zombie during the bar exam.
