    Top 10, 2019 Bar Exam

    1. Please describe your learning style (e.g., visual/auditory).

    Visual. I prefer reading review materials rather than listening to audios. I do write a lot. So whenever I
    study, I do scribble important points on the syllabus or on my notebook.

    2. Please share your study techniques or best review practices which you think helped you topped the
    2019 Bar examinations.

    a. Memorization techniques

    When I read, I make sure that I understand. That's the best way to memorize. I don't use memory aids;
    it's not effective to me.

    b. Bar materials (i.e., codals, 1 reference book, chair's cases, memory aid, personal notes.)

    I'm quite unstructured so I don't follow a certain pattern in studying. But, I'm making sure that I read at
    least one review material and codal. Of course, my personal notes are my golden notes. I did bring all
    my notebooks during law school in Manila. I only brought 1 or 2 reference books.

    c. Hours of reading - No fix hours. It depends on the subject I am studying. Once I'm finished reading, I
    rest and sleep.

    d. Review Center/Coaching - Legal Edge Review Center, Chan Robles Internet Bar Review, Jurists

    I enrolled in these three review centers but I self reviewed during the months of June to August. I only
    went to Manila on August 27 where I attended some of the lectures of legal edge.

    1. Legal edge (LE) - The mock bars are exceptional because it is a simulation of the actual bar exams. I
    learned to think fast and write fast because of the mock bars of LE. I usually fly in and out during mock
    bars.

    2. Chan Robles - Labor Material pre-week is a must read. Also, there are other good review materials
    from Chan.

    3. Jurists - Riguera's REM is good.

    e. Mock bar - Enrol in the Mock Bar of LE. It will really help you to know your self and to prepare for the
    actual battle.

    f. Law school training - Most of the things that you will not learn during review, you will get it from your
    stock knowledge. Better to prepare on day 1 and develop the discipline of studying. I do write my notes
    on my notebooks that's why I didn't bother to read my reference book during review because I know
    that all important details of the books are in my notes.

    g.Scheduling - No specific schedule. It depends on the subject. I just set a number of days for each
    subject depending on the level of its difficulty based on my assessment. I don't even look at the weight
    of the subject in the BAR. I treat every subject as having the same weight. So for instance, I will set 10
    days to Political Law, I will ensure that I finish political law in 10 days.

    h. Anything you wish to focus on or strongly wanted to share to law students and reviewees (E.g. Text-
    to-speech app so you can listen to review materials even while eating or before sleeping)

    Always review based on your syllabus. So, I select materials that is syllabus based.

    UST Golden Notes or Bedan Red Notes are syllabus-based so you may use these notes.

    3. Please share your tips on how to answer Bar exam questions. (Both in form--- how you write print
    or cursive, pen used, blocking, margins, and content etc. )

    The manner to answer the BAR depends on the question:

    1. Definition - answer directly in one par.

    2. Enumeration - direct answer, no need to repeat the question. Use numbers or letters to enumerate
    your answers.

    3. Case based - Four Par rule but make sure that it is short and concise. One sentence per par will do.
    Only one page per case. Start with the direct answer (yes or no). Then, legal basis. Then, connect the
    facts to the legal basis. Lastly, conclude.

    I write in print. I use energel pen, blue color, .7. I'm not particular with margins but I make sure that my
    answers are in the center.

    4. What was your lowest moment during the Bar season, if there is any? And how did you overcome it?

    3rd week, number 5 of Mercantile law, because I can no longer move my hands. My penmanship is
    becoming smaller and smaller and I find it hard to control the movement of my right hand.

    I just prayed hard to the Lord. I calmed down and pray; pray for help and sustenance.

    I finished Merc and I prayed during lunch break that I can make it through in Crim Law because my right
    hand is really painful.

    After BAR, at night, when I consulted my doctor classmate, I found out that I had carpal tunnel
    syndrome.

    He gave me series of pain killers and meds. I was in a hand splint for a week before the 4th bar sun.

    5. What words of encouragement can you share to the law students and bar reviewees, or to the
    public in general, amidst our battle against Covid-19?

    Law students and reviewees: Make this an opportunity to study and make up for your weak subjects.
    Invest your time in value adding activities. Unceasingly pray for guidance, help, fortitude, and strength.

    You can do it, future lawyers!


    Public: Let's do our part to protect ourselves and others. Always keep clean. Stay at home except for
    work or necessities. Finally, pray for God's intervention. Only God can heal us.

    Please share an instance which you think is your embarassing moment during the Bar month.
    (Anything "funny"/humiliating that will inform many that we dont need to be "perfect" in order to
    top or pass the bar, i.e. I spelled 15th as fiftinth)

    Maybe still in the 3rd week because I don't know if my penmanship is good or bad but I know that I have
    lots of erasures because of my trembling and painful hands.
