MANILA, Philippines — The Supreme Court (SC) has announced the schedule for the 2022 Bar examinations this coming November.

Through Bar Bulletin No.6.S.2022, released to the media on Wednesday, Associate Justice and 2022 Bar Exams chair Alfredo Benjamin Caguioa said the exams would be held on November 9 (Wednesday), 13 (Sunday), 16 (Wednesday), and 20 (Sunday).

But Caguioa clarified that “unforeseen circumstances and contingencies” may still “necessitate a rescheduling of dates.”

Also, Caguioa announced that the SC would continue to use the program “Examplify” for the digitized 2022 Bar tests.

“In light of the Supreme Court’s continuous efforts towards a regionalized and digitalized platform for the conduct of the Bar Examinations, and following the success of the 2020/21 Bar Examinations, the Supreme Court will continue to use Examplify, a secure examination delivery program, for the 2022 Bar Examinations,” Bar Bulletin No.6.S.2022 states.

“During which the examinees will use their own devices in their preferred venue, monitored by in-person proctors and closed-circuit television cameras in the exam rooms,” it added.

Approved Bar applicants for this year’s examinations will be able to access the software, the SC said, but they are strongly advised to “periodically monitor their Bar PLUS-registered email and Bar PLUS accounts for the list of conditionally or unconditionally approved applicants.”

“The instructions on how to use and navigate Examplify will be announced in a separate bulletin, which will include Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) regarding the process of registration, access, and use of the program, the recommended system requirements for the examines’ devices, as well as the list of allowable accessories and peripherals,” the SC said.

On the other hand, venues for the November 2022 Bar exams will be announced separately. Therefore, qualified examinees are advised to anticipate further announcements.
