GUIDELINES
ON HOW TO AVAIL OF
THE ONLINE COACHING AND MENTORING PROGRAM

1. WHAT IS THE CHANROBLES BAR ONLINE COACHING AND MENTORING
PROGRAM?

The ChanRobles Internet Bar Review offers an online coaching and
mentoring program to all its online bar reviewees, including new enrollees, re-
enrollees, repeaters and undergraduates, for purposes of assisting, coaching and
mentoring them in answering essay-type bar examination questions.

2. HOW MUCH IS THE COST OF THIS COACHING AND MENTORING PROGRAM?

This program is being offered completely free of charge to all the 2014
enrollees. ChanRobles shoulders all costs and expenses involved in this program by
way of additional benefit to its enrollees.

3. HOW IS THIS DIFFERENT FROM THE MCQ MOCK BAR EXAMS CURRENTLY
BEING OFFERED BY CHANROBLES BAR REVIEW ONLINE?

As distinguished from the on-going MCQ Mock Bar Exams found at
http://www.chanroblesbar.com.ph/index.php/mock-bar, where all the questions
are in the nature of Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs), the questions asked in the
coaching and mentoring program are all essay-type in nature.

4. WHY ESSAY-TYPE QUESTIONS?

The questions are essay-type to enable the professional coaches and mentors
to make a constructive analysis and evaluation of the answers given by the enrollee
based on the professionally prepared GUIDELINES ON HOW TO ANSWER ESSAY
BAR QUESTIONS under the following major criteria:

1. MARGIN
2. DESIGNATING QUESTION NUMBERS AND PRESENTING ANSWERS TO
SUB-QUESTIONS
3. DECIDING ON THE NUMBER OF PARAGRAPHS
4. SPACING AND PARAGRAPH FORMATTING
5. ANSWER LAYOUT
6. HANDWRITING
7. ABBREVIATING WORDS
8. ENUMERATIONS
9. ERASURES
10. USE OF CORRECT GRAMMAR
11. USE OF HIGH-SOUNDING, HIGHFALUTIN AND FANCIFUL WORDS
12. THE NEED TO CITE PERTINENT LAWS AND APPLICABLE
JURISPRUDENCE

The details of the foregoing Guidelines are found in this link: GUIDELINES
ON HOW TO ANSWER ESSAY BAR QUESTIONS.

5. WHO PREPARED THE ESSAY-TYPE QUESTIONS?

ChanRobles has specifically chosen and commissioned the following bar
reviewers and former bar examiners who are noted experts in their respective
fields, to prepare TWENTY (20) QUESTIONS per bar subject, including the suggested
answers to each one of them:

1) POLITICAL LAW DEAN ED VINCENT ALBANO
2) LABOR LAW - PROF. JOSELITO GUIANAN CHAN
3) CIVIL LAW - PROF. TERESITA CRUZ
4) TAXATION LAW - PROF. JASON BARLIS
5) MERCANTILE LAW - PROF. MA. ZARAH VILLANUEV-CASTRO
6) CRIMINAL LAW - PROF. PHILJER INOVEJAS
7) REMEDIAL LAW - JUSTICE MAGDANGAL DE LEON
8) LEGAL ETHICS - JUSTICE HECTOR L. HOFILEA

6. DO THE ESSAY-TYPE QUESTIONS COVER THE EIGHT (8) BAR SUBJECTS?

Yes.

7. HOW MANY QUESTIONS ARE THERE PER BAR SUBJECT?

Each of the eight (8) bar subjects has twenty (20) questions to choose from.

8. IS THERE A MAXIMUM NUMBER OF QUESTIONS THAT THE ENROLLEE
SHOULD ANSWER AND SUBMIT TO THE COACHING AND MENTORING
PROGRAM?

Yes. Each enrollee is entitled to answer and submit only a maximum of
EIGHT (8) questions which he/she may choose from among the questions in the
eight (8) bar subject.

The said EIGHT (8) questions may be deliberately chosen from any of the
questions presented for any of the bar subjects.

This means that the enrollee is NOT allowed to answer and submit EIGHT (8)
questions per bar subject but rather EIGHT (8) questions WITH AT LEAST ONE (1)
QUESTION FROM EACH BAR SUBJECT.

Example: One question may be chosen from Political Law, another question
from Labor Law, another question from Criminal Law, and so on, for a maximum of
EIGHT (8) QUESTIONS.

9. WHY CANT THE ENROLLEE CHOOSE MORE THAN EIGHT (8) QUESTIONS TO
ANSWER?

The maximum limit is set at EIGHT (8) questions only because the real
purpose for the coaching and mentoring is to enable the professional coaches and
mentors to analyze and assess compliance of the answers of the enrollee with the
Guidelines mentioned above.

It is not the correctness of the answer that is vital; it is compliance with
the Guidelines that is sought to be determined by this coaching and mentoring
program.

10. CAN THE ENROLLEE TAKE THE EXAMINATION AND SUBMIT HIS/HER
ANSWERS MORE THAN ONCE?

NO. The enrollee can only participate in this program and submit his/her
answers for evaluation by the coaches and mentors only ONCE.

11. CAN THE ENROLLEE CHOOSE ONLY THE QUESTIONS HE/SHE IS FAMILIAR
WITH?

YES. In fact it is encouraged that the enrollee should choose the EIGHT (8)
questions that he/she feels he/she could give the best answers to.

It would also be advisable to answer different types of questions, that is,
definition-type, enumeration-type, comparative-type or case-type questions, so
that his/her ability/inability in answering said varied essay-type questions may be
reviewed and assessed by the coaches and mentors.

12. WILL THE COACHES AND MENTORS CRITICIZE THE CORRECTNESS OF THE
ANSWER?

NO. The coaches and mentors are professionals trained to determine possible
flaws in the manner and method of answering the questions but will never criticize
the substance of the answers.

In other words, the comments and suggestions of the coaches and mentors
will only be confined to the criteria mentioned in the Guidelines above.

13. WILL THE CORRECT ANSWERS TO THE EIGHT (8) QUESTIONS BE GIVEN?

YES. For purposes of informing the enrollee of the correct answers to the
EIGHT (8) questions, the coaches and mentors will attach to their Evaluation Form
that will be returned to the enrollee the correct answers as prepared and suggested
by the bar reviewers who crafted the questions. The only purpose for doing this is
solely informational but never corrective.

The enrollee, therefore, need not be discouraged nor disheartened should
his/her answer differ from that of the bar reviewers since this is never the thrust of
this coaching and mentoring program.

NO SCORES WILL BE GIVEN AS TO THE CORRECTNESS OF THE ANSWERS.

14. IS CONFIDENTIALITY BEING OBSERVED IN THIS PROGRAM?

YES. Observance of EXTREME CONFIDENTIALITY is the hallmark policy
which ChanRobles guarantees to all its enrollees. This is not the first time that this
EXTREME CONFIDENTIALITY has been observed by ChanRobles. In its MCQ Mock
Bar Exams which runs alongside this coaching and mentoring program and has been
part of the bar review for the last 4 years, EXTREME CONFIDENTIALITY has been
followed and implemented to the letter.

To warrant and guarantee the strict observance of this policy, all our coaches
and mentors have signed and executed a NON-DISCLOSURE COMMITMENT
AGREEMENT with ChanRobles.

15. WILL THERE BE A FACE-TO-FACE INTERACTION WITH THE COACHES AND
MENTORS?

NONE. All aspects of the coaching and mentoring program will NOT require a
face-to-face interaction with the coaches and mentors. This will free the enrollees of
any inhibitions, self-consciousness, hang-ups and reservations that may discourage
him/her from presenting his answers, no matter what.

In like manner, the coaches and mentors will have the freedom to present
their comments and suggestions unhampered and unencumbered by any biases and
partiality, whether perceived or otherwise.

16. WHEN WILL THE CHANROBLES BAR ONLINE COACHING AND MENTORING
START AND END?

The coaching and mentoring program shall start on 15 JULY 2014 and end
on 20 SEPTEMBER 2014, a week before the first day of the bar exams.

This means that at any time between said dates, the enrollee has the
prerogative to participate in this program.
