The Bar bulletin also stated that the Bar examination fee is set at PHP 12,800, which was reasonably adjusted to cover the increased cost of software licensing, venue rentals for local testing centers, and safety measures because of inflation.
According to the Supreme Court, the Bar examination fee is non-refundable.
