ABOUT BAR EXAMS
The Philippine Bar examination is an annual licensure exam conducted by the Supreme Court of the Philippines through the SC's Bar Exam Committee. This is the only licensure exam for professionals not regulated by the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC).
November 2022 Bar exams are the 120th licensure exams for all aspiring lawyers.
Bar exams are dubbed the most challenging professional exams in the Philippines. From 2010 tp 2019, only 27% average passing rate was recorded. The difficulty in passing is mainly attributed to the growing volume of Philippine cases and statutory laws.
Meanwhile, the highest passing rate was recorded on Batch 2020-2021, having a 72.28% passing rate.
Candidates who have failed three times in the bar exam are not permitted yo retake it unless they re-enroll, pass the regular fourth-year review classes, and attend a pre-bar review course in an approved school.
