BEFORE THE BAR REVIEW

1. Segregate your materials – ONE BOX PER SUBJECT.

2. Find your spot kung saan ka mag-aaral for the whole review process. As for me, I
didn’t stay in one place lang. I studied sa Baste lib and Beda lib, depende sa
atmosphere. But mas madalas ako mag-aral sa Baste. Choose your spot in either
libraries, and stick to that spot.
3. Buy Vitamin C and Vitamin B12 – consume every morning. Bawal magkasakit!

DURING THE BAR REVIEW

1. Delete all phone applications that will distract you. Instead, download NEWS
APPS like GMA News, Inquirer. If pagod ka or bored, just read news baka kasi
may lumabas sa bar.
2. If you have special requests like kailangan mo ng notes, iutos mo nalang sa bar
buddy mo. Don’t waste your time.
3. Follow your timetable! Pag ‘di mo natapos yung materials mo for one subject, don’t
adjust your timetable, jump to the next subject. Balikan mo na lang yung mga
naiwan mong topics during your “second” reading.
4. Practice your handwriting sa Grade 4 Pad (Same size kasi ung lines nito sa bar
exam booklet) – 5 to 6 words per line. I found this super helpful to make my
handwriting more legible. Feeling ko talaga pumasa ako dahil super readable ng
handwriting ko kasi pang-grade school yung laki niya. Haha!
5. You will hear a lot of rumors (Questions, examiners, etc.) Don’t listen or distract
yourself from those. Ang gawin mo, list mo lang lahat ng questions na kumakalat
per subject. Then balikan mo nalang sa pre-week if may time.
6. Meron din rumor na mag focus ka sa particular subject, wag ka makikinig!
7. Finish the WHOLE COVERAGE! You’ll never know kung ano lalabas.
8. If you have audio lectures, adjust the speed para mabilis ang pagsasalita and hindi
masayang oras mo.
9. DO NOT DEPRIVE YOURSELF (Wag greenminded). I rarely drank during my
review, but you can do that if you’re super stressed na. In your case, do something
na maeenjoy mo once in a while para di ka madali maburn out.
 PRE-WEEK OF EVERY SUBJECT
1. I chose Beda and Ateneo Pre-week (You’re free to choose your own poison ;))
2. CODAL CODAL CODAL!
