Bar Exam Tips, Secrets, Techniques & Strategies

 

The Bar Exam for Dummies

by Atty. Analou Sazon

DURING THE PRE-WEEK

This is still crucial and you can’t let your guard down just yet.  The days in between will need genius planning and technique because you can’t waste a single day and lose it to an ill-prepared schedule.  Remember, every minute counts.  Smart studying is the key.

  1. Destierro. - However, Mondays should be reserved for recreation and insanity.  Off limits to books and review materials.  Go out.  You have the best excuse to have the audacity to indulge your most sinful desires and go zany.  Just make sure you stay within the limits. Go malling, eat out or do something insane as a release. Just make sure you don’t tarnish La Salle’s immaculate reputation by doing something foolhardy.  “Use sound discretion, after all, we are all of legal age.”

  2. Motion to Dismiss. - Do things that are not related to the bar.  In a word, Un-law it!

  3. ASSIGNMENT OF ERRORS: Berate yourself if you feel that you want to give in to your penchant for discussing answers.  NEVER DISCUSS ANSWERS OR TALK ABOUT THE PAST EXAM. Consider it fait accompli, moot and academic. You’ve done your part. Get over it.  It will help ease your nerves, as in “nerbiyos”.

  4. Contract of Adhesion. - Tuesday onwards, back to serious business.  Study, Study, Study but pace yourself. Prioritize subjects but rest when your body calls for it. Smart studying is the key.  Don’t just study everything randomly.  Chose more important topics to dwell on and disregard likely insignificant ones.  Trust your instincts.  “See the forest and not the trees” as one of our professors would say.

  5. Postponement. - And if you lose the passion, pause for a while and think of the reason why you are here in the first place.

  6. Subpoena. - Call someone who inspires you.
