Law professor Galahad Pe Benito advised Bar takers not to trust their feelings or let their doubt or anxiety over their answers prevail.

In a post on X, Pe Benito said that until their answers have been checked, they don’t know how they really did in the tests.

“Too early for you to sulk,” he said.

He said that for all they know, the subject they are worried about could turn out to give them their highest score.

“Nothing wrong, however, with running scared,” he added.

The last day of the Bar exams will be on Sunday, September 13.

For bar exam takers, don’t trust your feelings. You don’t know how you really performed until your answers are checked.Too early for you to sulk.

It happens all the time that the subject you didn’t like could even be your highest score.

Nothing wrong, however, w running scared
