General tips on reviewing and taking the bar exam


List down your materials and start gathering them before you start your
review.
Make a study schedule to follow, but be open to changes.
Take breaks when you feel like it.
If your study style in law school worked for you, follow the same style for your
review.
Do not forget to pray.
Recent jurisprudence is very important.
Do not forget to answer past exams.

Describe you typical study day (Did you study alone? In groups?)
I reviewed alone, but Id occasionally consult with some batchmates the
issues I cannot resolve on my own.
My typical study day looks like this:

10:00 am Wake up
11:00 am Start studying
2:00 pm Lunch break
2:30 pm Back to studying
5:00 pm Merienda break
5:15 pm Study again
7:00 pm Dinner break or movie
10:00 pm Back to studying
2:00 am Go to sleep

3.

My daily schedule includes many short washroom, phonecall, stretching, etc.


(breaks these will work if you, like me, have a short attention span)
I am not really a morning person. My peak hours would be during the
evening up to 1 or 2 am.
I did not adjust my sleep cycle, unlike what most people have done. The
earliest I was able to get up during the review was at 8 am, but I gave up
after like 2-3 days of waking up this early.
My dinner break became shorter as it neared September.
What is your review schedule on a daily and monthly basis?
I started my review on May 4, 2009.
I only finished two readings. I was able to finish my first reading in mid-July.
I do not study on Sundays, except in the month of August.

5.

When did you start to study? Did you study right after graduation?
I started my review on May 4, 2009.

6.

How many readings were you able to do?


2 readings only, but very slow and thorough. This was really my study style
even back in law school.

7.
Did you attend the review classes in Ateneo? Did it help you? If only in
certain subjects or professors, please specify.
I did enroll in the Ateneo review classes, but did not attend except for the
very first - How to study for the Bar. I felt that preparing to go to school and
travelling to school would take up so much of my time. And I am able to
absorb better the things I read rather than the things I hear. It will really
depend on what your style is. Some people, unlike me, absorb better the
things they hear.
