Bar Exam Tips & Secrets

by Ralph A. Sarmiento

Preparation is the Key

Preparation is the key to success to success in the Bar Exam. But this is not just any kind of preparation. You must have a game plan and you should stick to it as if your entire life depends on it. The following are proven preparation tactics:

Analyze your strong and weak subjects.

Before you begin your intensive Bar Preparation and Review, you should know your strong and weak subjects. Evaluate your performance on each of the eight Bar subjects. Your transcript of law school records can give you a more or less objective evaluation of your performance. Examine your transcript of records and compute your grade average on each of the eight Bar subjects. This will give you an idea on what your strong and weak subjects are as evaluated and perceived by your law school professors. Consider this data when you allocate your review time on the Bar subjects.

Consider the Weight of Each Bar Subject.

Consider also the weight of each Bar subject as well as your own perceptions on their levels of difficulty in allocating your review time. More review time should be allocated to morning subjects, especially to Remedial Law, but make some adjustments on subjects that you perceive to be more difficult than the others.

Check your armory.

Conduct an inventory of your books and materials. Be sure you have all subjects and topics covered.
