The Bar Exam for Dummies

by Atty. Analou Sazon

THE FIRST SUNDAY

THE first Sunday is the height of the pendulum.  In the rollercoaster play of emotions that Bar takers would surely experience this whole month, the first Sunday will be the peak.

1. Ab Initio. - You should have set your alarm clocks the night before to make sure you don’t over sleep.  Literally jump out of bed and do some physical movements and stretching.  Read tips if you have, to rouse your sleepy brain.  Just read, don’t study them.  More importantly, welcome the day like a meeting with an old lost dear friend.  The Bar is not something to conquer.  Befriend it.

2. Pace yourself.  Give enough time and provide for personal necessities. Re check things to bring and make sure you don’t forget your permit and pens.  Survival kit is essential. Wear comfortable clothes and shoes.  (it’s advisable to make and keep a list according to your individual needs)

3. Damages. - Instead of “tagip-TIPS”, rely on your personal preparation.  Yes, you cynics! YOU CAN PASS THE BAR WITHOUT THOSE TIPS. Need testimonials?  You won’t need to look very far.

4. Subpoena. - Call someone who inspires you.

5. Summons.  - Call your family.

6. Nuisance. -  Dress for success and enjoy the La Salle cheering squad awaiting you along Taft Ave.  Don’t skip the “parade”. Your “Bar experience” would not be complete without it.
