After the news on Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ) with memorandum writing as newly-introduced style for the upcoming Philippine Bar examinations, the Supreme Court recently announced two additional developments.
According to the High Court, the 2011 entrance tests for lawyers will be moved to November instead of the usual month of September, so as to veer away from the heavy rains and typhoons that happen mostly within this month.
To recall, the SC was forced to postpone the last Sunday during the 2009 examinations because of the massive flooding in Metro Manila area at the height of typhoon Ondoy.
Another change is that the examinees are expected not to troop to De La Salle University in Taft Avenue, Manila, which had been the case for years, but would be pushing their test pens in the University of Sto. Tomas instead. Change of venue, the SC says, came about after the DLSU declined to renew its lease contract for the holding of the exams in its campus.

That’s very informative share about the Philippine Bar Exam changes. I am really very pleased to have these details here. I am also going to take this test and will start the preparations as soon as possible. I think that the mobile Bar Review Courses are quite useful so I might subscribe to one of those.
