MANILA – The list of topnotchers or excellent and exemplary passers in the November 2022 Bar exams will be available here as soon as the Supreme Court (SC) of the Philippines releases the results 3-5 months after the exams.
It is the second time that SC has localized bar exams, not dependent on penmanship as it was done digitally, has reduced coverage of exams, and has not spread out over four (4) consecutive Sundays in a month.
The exams were headed by the 2022 Bar Examinations Chairperson, Associate Justice Alfredo Benjamin S. Caguioa in partnership with selected Local Government Units (LGUs) nationwide.

Release of 2022 Bar exam results
The normal release of results is usually 5-6 months after the exams. But due to the digital conduct of the 2022 Bar exams, it is expected that the November 2022 bar exam results will be released earlier than previous bar exams as examiners can check the answers much quicker. Likewise, the results are expected 3-5 months after the exams.
Before the official posting of results, SC is conducting a special en banc session to decode the bar exam results. This is the process of opening the sealed envelopes with the names of passers.
The list of passers will also be posted at SC’s official website and will be flashed via widescreen at Supreme Court’s front yard. You may also refer to this article as we will also post the names of successful examinees.
The oath-taking of the new lawyers candidates will be announced by SC after the posting of results.
