2025 Testimonials

Hello Team Jurists, I am Edilberito B. Euraoba ll, a Jurists reviewee. I passed the 2025 Bar Exams after 4 attempts in 2002, 2012, 2019, and 2025, which translate to 23 years of waiting.

For the first three attempts, I enrolled in different review schools, until I came across Jurists Review Center during my fourth try, and through my mentor and coach, Atty. Sacel Chua-Florendo, I was trained to write concise answers using the CRAC method. 

During our first coaching session I told my coach that this will be my last try because I am already 52 years old, “last ko na po ito dahil naka-ilan na ako at may edad na.”

Little did I know that indeed it would be my last Bar exam because Jurists will make me pass and help me realize my childhood dream to become a lawyer. I was not only provided with the skills and legal knowledge, but also with moral support and guidance through my kind coach.

Because of my well grounded review, when I went to the testing center, I had a mindset that the Bar Exam was just a formality, and even if I do not know the exact answer, I could still answer any question applying the methods and techniques taught by Jurists.

Though it took so long for me to earn the title “Attorney”, the victory tasted so sweet when my daughter’s Tiktok post about my journey went viral and garnered 4.2 million views and I was given exposure in various national and local media outlets, all carrying the theme “delays are not defeat,” which inspired thousands of people. 

This wonderful experience would not have been possible, if it were not for Jurists. Thank you, Jurists!

Hi Jurists Bar Review Team,

I would like to share my heartfelt gratitude and testimonial after passing the September 2025 Bar Exam.

Reviewing with Jurists Bar Review last year truly made a difference in my journey. The guidance I received from the coaches helped me rebuild discipline, sharpen my legal analysis, and approach the Bar with more clarity and confidence. The lectures were well-structured, practical, and grounded in jurisprudence, delivered in a lively and engaging way that kept me focused and motivated throughout the review.

I especially appreciated the lively and insightful lectures of Prof. Modesto Ticman Jr., Prof. Erickson Balmes, Dean Tranquil Salvador III, Prof. Manuel Riguera, Assoc. Dean Cecilio Duka, Prof. Aliakhbar Jumrani, Prof. Timoteo Aquino, and the rest of the Jurists lecturers. Their teaching styles made even complex topics easier to understand and apply during the exam.

Jurists played a significant role in my preparation and final outcome, and I am truly grateful for the training, support, and guidance I received. I will gladly recommend Jurists Bar Review to future bar takers.

Thank you for being part of this milestone.

With sincere gratitude,

I am deeply grateful to Jurists Bar Review for their holistic support, from mentoring to coaching, which help me finally place the “dot” in my name. For so long, I thought passing the Bar Examinations is impossible but because of Jurists and with God’s blessings and Mercy, I made it.

I am very grateful to Jurists Bar Review Center for their guidance and dedication in shaping future members of the legal profession. Their comprehensive lectures and well-structured notes helped me build the strong foundation and the confidence needed to pass the Bar. More importantly, the Jurists’ method of answering taught me how to approach bar questions in a logical, concise, and direct manner—an essential skill every bar examinee must master. My success in the Bar would not have been possible without the help of Jurists.

Three (3) attempts (2018, 2019, 2025) and diagnosed with breast cancer in between.

After taking the bar examination the 2nd time in 2019, I enrolled in Jurists Bar Review Center as I was planning to take the Best Bar Ever (year 2020/2021 Bar examination). But luck didn’t find me, a lump was found in my breast. I underwent treatment/therapy and I decided to rest. After 7 years (Bar Examination 2025) while ongoing post-treatments, I decided to stand up, fight and take again. I enrolled in Jurists Bar Review Center again and started studying. There are days that I feel weak and wanting to give up, but by God’s grace, with the blessings of the Holy Family, with the intercession of all the Saints I called upon for prayer and with the help of Jurists Bar Review Center (their lectures, notes, last minute tips and their Coaching technique), I finally made it! My journey was very tough, but so is my Faith! 

Thank you, Jurists Bar Review Center, and to my coaches Atty. Dia Sanggayan, Atty. Elvin Barzuela, and Atty. Keith Madrid for your guidance and insights. All glory to God for this success and answered prayers!

To Jurist Bar Review…

If not for the scientific precision of your review and coaching program—your disciplined and deliberate way of preparing barristers for the Bar Examinations—I would not have made it. Had I relied solely on my own methods of reviewing and answering Bar questions, this victory would not have been possible. Jurist did not merely teach me how to study; it taught me how to think, analyze, and endure.

Your mock bar feedback and coaching sessions stand among the best—honest, rigorous, and transformative. The coaches were not only competent but deeply inspiring, never failing to give the right reminders and techniques needed to survive and excel in the Bar. At times, the process was painful and humbling, but as one learning principle reminds us, learning is sometimes painful. I trusted the process, endured the discomfort, and allowed growth to take place.

Your review lectures were thoughtfully programmed—research-based, contextualized, and intelligently scheduled. Every lecture felt purposeful, aligned, and grounded in the realities of the Bar. The review materials were superbly crafted. The Bar Chair cases were written in a way that made them easy to understand and remember. I almost carried all Jurist digested cases with me during the Bar days, and with that came confidence—because I knew I had read, understood, and internalized them.

The LMTs were nothing short of amazing—true memory enhancers. They bridged gaps, clarified confusing provisions, and connected doctrines and jurisprudence seamlessly. I brought all my LMTs during the Bar days, reassured by the certainty that I had covered the most essential topics in the Bar syllabus.

The review venue itself was conducive to learning—so much so that I kept coming back, lecture after lecture. Traveling one to three hours just to attend never felt like a burden; it was something I looked forward to. Perhaps an unlimited supply of coffee in the future would make it even more perfect—but even without it, the venue already felt like home for learning.

Jurist’s review schedule was one of the strongest pillars of the program. I followed it faithfully and trusted it completely. It guided my entire Bar review journey and gave me peace of mind, knowing that I was on the right track. The constant online reminders and text messages gently—but firmly—kept me aligned and focused.

Whether on-site or online, the Jurist staff were always hands-on, responsive, and accommodating. They made sure no one was left behind. You felt seen, valued, and genuinely cared for—not just as a reviewee, but as a person chasing a lifelong dream.

As I always say, Jurist Bar Review has mastered the art of Bar preparation and truly perfected the Science of Bar Review.

Thank you, Jurist Bar Review, for guiding me through one of the most challenging and meaningful journeys of my life.

Jurists Review Center has been an invaluable part of my journey to becoming a lawyer. Their review materials are comprehensive, dense yet full of insights, not just for memorization but for true understanding and long-term retention. Their recorded audio lectures became my everyday “music,” guiding me through every day of review and making learning feel natural. The bar coaches go above and beyond: Atty. Ed Apaya gave an exceptionally detailed evaluation for my remedial law mock bar, and Atty. Herald Zamora and Atty. Magarin even guided me after the first day of the bar exam when I reached out to confirm my approach to a question. Their support made all the difference. Thank you, Jurists, for being an essential part of this journey!

I was a full time working law student and was not able avail study leave. But I was able to pass with Jurists Bar Review, the only review center I attended.

I enrolled in Jurists Online Advance Pre- Bar and in the review proper during my senior year in Lawschool. Despite the limited time left (less than 3 months from graduation), Jurists method is more than enough to pass the Bar Exam. 

The 24 hrs availability of video lectures from the best reviewers, detailed hand outs, bar chair’s cases, and effecient and effective coaching method, helped me a lot to pass the exam with 87.38% gwa.

Special thanks to my one and only coach in Jurists, Atty. Carl Vincent Quitoriano, and to ASP Rey Quilala for his LMTs (the best) in Political Law.

JURISTS LANG SAPAT NA.

Passing the 2025 Bar Exam was one of the biggest moments of my life, and I genuinely credit Jurists for helping me get there. Their updated, syllabus-based materials made me feel guided every step of the way–they never made me second-guess whether I was studying the right things. And their CRAC method just clicked for me. It taught me to answer exactly the way the Supreme Court wants: clear, logical, and direct.

Looking back, choosing Jurists was one of the best decisions I made during my bar journey. I’m grateful to have been part of their program.

I am deeply grateful to Jurists Bar Review Center for their guidance and support throughout my bar review journey. Beyond the comprehensive materials and expert lecturers, what truly helped me succeed was their focus on how to present answers clearly and effectively.

The most helpful part was learning through the mock bar discussions, which taught me how to tackle difficult questions with confidence and how to write answers that are coherent, logical, and precise. This approach made a significant difference in my performance on the exam.

Jurists taught me to present my knowledge in a way that communicates my understanding effectively. Their guidance, lectures, and materials gave me the tools to succeed and played a crucial role in helping me pass the bar exam.

 I highly recommend Jurists Bar Review Center to anyone preparing for the bar exam, as they provide the structure, strategy, and techniques needed to excel in both understanding and presenting the law.

Dear Juristsbar,

I am one of your reviewees from the recent bar examinations, and I have successfully passed. 

I wanted to let you know that I did not just pass through hard work, but also through the guidance of your lecturers and mockbar coaches. I enrolled in three of your programs: 2024 JOAP, 2025 JOAP, and 2025 Review Proper.

My primary material was a school reviewer, but I used the lectures and notes from Jurists, especially when I needed to refresh my understanding of specific topics. As a working reviewee, I am very grateful that you have audio lectures, which have really helped me. I used them as background music during my nightshift work and when I am on errands.

I hope you continue to do what you do. I would like to specifically commend and thank the lecturers who really made an impact on me:

Atty Ticman
Atty Judy Lardizabal
Atty Manuel (Labor)
Atty Manuel (Tax)
Atty Recalde
Dean Tranquil Salvador
Atty Riguera

May God continue to bless your review center.

Greetings!

I am deeply grateful for Jurists Bar Review. 

The program was suited to my needs in preparing for the 2025 Philippine Bar Exams.

The materials were indeed superb, the only ones I read, and no others. 

I highly appreciate the coaching sessions I experienced from the cherished lawyers who served as my mentors, most especially the Review Director, Atty. Manuel Riguera had clearly taught me how to answer the bar questions. 

Once again, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Jurists helped me pass the Bar, and I am truly thankful I enrolled in this review center. The mock bars played a huge role in easing my anxiety for the actual examinations, and they helped me understand both my strengths and my weak points.

The lectures, handouts, and mock bar examinations became my anchors throughout the review and fortunately, they brought me to the finish line. I finally made it. It is an honor to be one of Jurists’ reviewees for Bar 2025.

I will always recommend this review center to anyone I know who is preparing for the Bar. Thank you, Jurists. I will be forever be grateful.

Grit, determination and the never-say-die attitude that enabled me to survived.

I graduated from Naval State University-University of Eastern Philippines (NSU-UEP) College of Law way back in 2010.

Lesser mortals would have long abandoned the dream of becoming a lawyer – especially after fifteen years since graduating from law school. Many would have accepted defeat, relegating that ambition to the sidelines and moving on. But I chose a different path.

I am a former student from the time when Naval State University (NSU) had a consortium and partnership with the University of Eastern Philippines through NSU-UEP College of Law. I faced the Bar examinations journey with all its weight – time, responsibilities, and past setbacks pressing heavily upon me. What could have broken my spirit instead became the very source of my strength.

I found courage in remembering how close I had come in a previous attempt and drew inspiration from others who had finally triumphed. With renewed determination, I entrusted my preparation to Jurists Review Center, took a leave from work, and committed myself fully to the grueling Bar review. Day and night, I poured  my energy into a process that tested not only my intellectual rigor but also perseverance, discipline, and strength of character.

Guided by Jurists’ structured program, clear strategies, and unwavering emphasis on fundamentals and bar-focused preparation, I steadily rebuilt my confidence. More than sharpening legal knowledge, the review honed my mindset – teaching me to endure, to trust the process, and to believe once more.

And persevere I did.

Today, that long and difficult journey has reached its long-awaited triumph. I passed the Bar Examinations and will soon take my oath as a member of the Philippine Bar.

I am Atty. Vicente Q. Solteo, Jr., LPT, DM (Doctor in Management). My success is a testament to grit, resilience, and the transformative role of Jurists Review Center in helping dreams deferred become dreams fulfilled.

I am a working student who works from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. I did not stop working while I was reviewing for the Bar Exam, but Jurists helped me a lot in my preparation. I enrolled in both their Advanced Jurists Program and their Regular Jurists Bar Review Program, and both programs prepared me extensively for the Bar Exam.

The video lectures, which were divided into 20-minute segments, helped me stay focused on the discussions. I did my best to read all the materials and watch the video lectures. The materials are definitely up to date and include cases penned by the Bar Chair, which made them even more relevant.

The coaching on how to answer Bar Exam questions was another major help. The coaches taught us how to write better and structure our answers properly. Overall, the Jurists program suited my learning style, and I found the reading materials easy to understand.

Lectures are superb. All my Big 3 subjects are above 80%. Remedial is my highest grade, followed by Crim, Civil, and CommTax. I didn’t finish all the mock bars and coaching sessions, but even 2 coachings are sufficient to perform well in the Bar Exams. Special thanks to Atty. Tranquil Salvador, Atty. Manny Riguera, and all the Jurists lecturers. Salute!

I’d like to thank Jurists Review Center for helping me pass the 2025 bar exam.  The online classes, recorded videos which were accessible at any time, 1 on 1 coaching sessions, and mock bar exams using Examplify, were of tremendous help.  They were responsive too when I had questions or had issues.  Again, thank you very much Jurists Review Center.

I am proud to share that I passed the 2025 Bar Exam, and I owe a huge part of this success to Jurists Review Center. Their online review program gave me the flexibility to study effectively while still feeling fully supported. The ALAC strategy was a game changer it sharpened my analytical skills and helped me approach every subject with confidence and clarity.  

What truly set Jurists apart were their mock bar sessions through Examplify. These simulations not only prepared me for the actual exam environment but also trained me to manage time and pressure under realistic conditions. Jurists Review Center didn’t just teach me the law, they taught me how to pass the Bar.  

I highly recommend Jurists Review Center to every aspiring lawyer who wants a structured, strategic, and supportive review experience.

Maraming Salamat po, Jurists Family!

First of all, I would like to thank your institution for the review you had set-up for the 2025 Bar Examinations. Although Ateneo de Davao College of Law prepared us extensively to pass the bar, Jurists was instrumental in polishing what I’ve learned from my alma mater and taught me to approach the bar the way it was meant to be approached. 

I am writing this email in asking whether you are looking for additional help in coaching your reviewees or maybe checking their mock bar answers. I’d love to offer my help so that I may find a way to give back and hopefully impact someone who wants to conquer the next bar examinations.
