October 2012 Bar Examination

The mechanics for the October 2012 Bar Examinations have been changed and for the first time, barristers will be subjected to both Multiple Choice and Essay questions per subject.

I've heard some complaints after the first Sunday, mostly about how lengthy the examinations were and the lack of time to finish the two sets of questions. There were 100 multiple choice questions per subject. There were 10 sets of essay questions with at least 2 sub-questions for each set. I wonder if I'd be able to finish all of those in 4 hours.

Barristers were allowed to take home their questionnaires for this year's bar examination. I think that it would be a bad idea to read those questions again. I'd say, just throw it away. Anyway, you can download the questionnaires later from the Supreme Court website.

Questionnaires from the first three Sundays are already posted at the SC website.
