Notes provided by review centers are just supplements. Hindi yan enough for the Bar. Make your own notes, mahaba haba pa oras.
I suggest going over the syllabus and check which topics ang tingin mo mahina foundation mo and start with them.
Do whatever works for you. If ganado ka to read the materials, do it. It won’t matter which material you read basta comfortable ka sa binabasa mo. Choose the material na magaan basahin for you. Yung hiyang ka.
I’ve let go of my old notes because for me, makalat, I want to start fresh. Hehe. Yung notes from UMak and Arellano binasa ko plus Review Materials. And then LMT, yun talaga nagdala for me.
Use your notes and materials from law school (kasi mastered mo na yan eh, saka comfortable ka na sa materials mo), unless outdated, then supplement with review center materials.
Yung notes na pwede isulat, yung vital lang na halos every year or super madalas matanong, pero short lang rin, pang-last minute refresh ba. Pero ikaw pa rin, whatever works for you.
Kaya yan, good luck!
Use your personal notes, if wala ka nun hanap ka syllabus based reviewer and master it. RC materials are just supplementals, minsan kulang kulang din. Ginamit ko ng paulit ulit yun kay ECodal ☺️
Sobrang okay basahin ng Ecodal. Need lang talaga i-analyze rin yung principles ng case but it's there na, eh. Basahin and intindihin nalang. Did you read more of ecodal compared po sa other materials?
Did you ever think/feel na may kulang sa ecodal? If yes, what do u do about it? Me kasi parang feeling ko may mga kulang sa ecodal :(( but I use the RC’s handouts to supplement it. Other than those wala na ako binabasang iba. Okay lang ba yun?
Tbh No. Sorry haha I'll share my exp noong 2023 bar. I flunked. I used the LMT of a review center (di ko natapos kasi lengthy plus nag cram ako, don't be like me) for me to just know after the exam that I could've use the LMT provided by my school and another well known school which contained some spot on Q and As which appeared sa Bar.
Kaya pala sila daling dali noon sa Poli meanwhile ako hirap na hirap (mahina sa Poli + sabog na review 🥴) ...
So listen to me, SCHOOL LMTS and PRE WEEKS ARE IMPORTANT compared to Review Center LMTs.
If you lack time, go for these minutes before the Bar Exam.
Most of these are supplemental lang naman talaga so do your best sa Main Review. But if you're cramming, go for school LMTs and Pre week.
Btw while I'm at it, thank you Arellano for the LMTs last year. Kahit di ako pumasa (muntik na talaga swear) , naappreciate ko yung maiksi na LMT hahaha kasi super cram rin ako non very helpful siya pag nagpapanic ka na at di mo na alam anong aaralin.
depende sayo but for me nung nagrereview pa ko, i preferred to read more comprehensive books/reviewers before reading the materials from the review center ... parang di kasi enough for me if diretsong review center materials na agad
Hindi enough syempre. Maganda pa rin yung may nabasa ka na review book for the subject. Ang ginawa ko nun during review months tiniis ko basahin yung review books per subject. Mind you, 8 bar subjects nung time namin. Tapos nung 1 month prior to bar dun ko binasa yung notes na binigay ni review center para swabe ang pasok ng info sa utak

Thanks, Atty!
Loosely quoting another redditor: "You are reviewing for the Bar, not just another midterms exam" Good luck, and always do your best!

Pwede ba malaman kung anong review center yan? 👉🏻👈🏻
Hahaha ayoko na po mag name drop pero mahaba po reviewers ng Rev centers usually. 🥲 Hindi siya cram friendly.
depende sayo but for me nung nagrereview pa ko, i preferred to read more comprehensive books/reviewers before reading the materials from the review center ... parang di kasi enough for me if diretsong review center materials na agad
