Aurora State College of Technology Law Dean Rocky Dujunco advised Bar exam takers to master three key skills to help them succeed.

Dujunco said these skills are issue spotting, legal knowledge, and following the ALAC (answer-legal basis-application-conclusion) or CLA (conclusion-legal basis-application) in answering questions.

In a post on X, she noted that many aspiring lawyers focus on legal knowledge, spending much of their time studying law and doctrines.

But she said aspiring lawyers should also master issue spotting and answering in the proper format.

3 essential skills for bar exam success:

1. issue spotting
2. legal knowledge
3. answer format using the ALAC/CLA method

Most students focus on the 2nd skill. Aral at memorize ng law at doctrines ang focus. Remember, the 1st and 3rd skills need practice also. #AweSAMbar2026
