BAR 2016 (TIPS)

Hi Guys! I hope this post will open different communications between law students/lawyers on this year's bar examination (2016) ex. rumored examiners, bar materials/ bar lectures/ good study places etc. God bless! Let us help each other!

If you want to pass the bar, u need not know all these things. All you need is to know the law. There is no better way in passing the bar than this 5-letter word, "STUDY". Knowing what the examiner's favorite topic will not give you an advantage rather make you take for granted other topics that may come out because every single topic in the syllabus is a possibility.

What you should do:
1. Stick to one reading material. If there's a topic in the syllabus that's not found in your material that's the time u consult another material. Also, make notes.

2. Never skip review classes.
N.B. During the pre-week, attend the pre-week classes and stop reading.

3. Before you decide to take the bar, you should have known what study habit best fits you.
(Me, I can't study without music or TV).

4. Stay healthy. Eat healthy food. Get enough sleep and rest.

(A review/study buddy also helps, during off days.)

Thank you for the tip! what materials do you recommend? the books I used during my lawschool are outdated already hehehehe!

Your foundation will make you a lawyer. U can just use your own notes as they refreshes pictures, comments, topics, etc told by ur profs. Do not read voluminous notes during pre-bar review. Just read a memory aid, ur notes during law skul, ur notes during review, and updated notes given by the review centers.

Let someone ask you things. If u don't know the answer, find them. They might come out in the exam. And if ur learning new things, share it not just to be as good as possible (religious) for God to have mercy on you but for internalization purposes also. This also makes legal topics coming.

During pre-week, do not be disappointed if you don't know what others know. If you have read the topics in the syllabus, believe that ur knowledge is enough.
