MANILA, Philippines. The Supreme Court has announced that the highly anticipated September 2024 Philippine Bar Exam Results are expected to be released on December 13, 2024 (Friday), nearly three months after the exams.

The September 2024 Bar Exam was the fourth time it was given digitally on-site using the Examplify software instead of having examinees write their answers in a booklet.

From 10,387 bar takers last year, 3,812 passed the said exam, which is equivalent to a 36.77% passing rate.

Meanwhile, the office of the 2024 Bar Exam Chairperson, Supreme Court Associate Justice Mario V. Lopez, has released the schedule for this year’s bar examinations. The digitalized and regionalized exams will be on September 8, 11, & 15, 2024, in different local testing centers in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.

According to Bar Chair Assoc. Justice Lopez, earlier examinations mean earlier results; successful bar examinees can begin practicing law as early as January 2025.

Here is the list of successful bar passers and exemplary passers of the 2024 Philippine Bar Exam.
