 TIPS ON HOW TO PASS THE BOARD
EXAM
1. MAKE A LIST OF YOUR WEAKEST SUBJECTS
WHEN YOU WERE IN COLLEGE.
Its important to give focus on the subjects
that you had difficulties with during your
college days. Remember, the exam comprises
of different areas and its not good to set aside
the subjects you are weak at.
2. CREATE A TIME TABLE.
You should of course, set your goal. If you
want to hit your target, you should finish
doing everything at a given time. Put in your
mind that you have a very limited time to
review the subjects you studied for four years.
So, list down each subject that you have to
review and identify how long it will take you
to study them.
3. KNOW THE FOCUS OF THE EXAM.
The Professional Regulation Commission
releases the coverage of the test months
before the date of examination. Make sure
you have the copy of it so you would know
what subject areas you are going to study and
how long you are going to spend reviewing
them.
4. SPEND AT LEAST 1 TO 4 HOURS READING
LECTURES.
Research shows that reading for at least an
hour or two can activate brain cells. It also
shows that doing so regularly could enhance
retention. So if you want to remember the all
that you studied about on the day of
examination, make sure that you get yourself
used to reading for an hour or more.
5. DONT MEMORIZE TOO MUCH.
Yes, there are some questions (especially in the
subjects, History and Math) that really require
you to memorize. But lemme tell ya that almost
75% percent of the questions are situational so
instead of memorizing, try understanding deeply
the lectures you are reading. Retention is higher
when you digest and relate what you read to
other concepts or ideas.
6. GET ENOUGH SLEEP, RELAX AND DONT
FORGET TO TAKE A REST.
Dont stress yourself for the overnight reviews
and all. If you fail to take a rest because of
studying too much, youll just make things
worse. It is proven that a sound mind and a
relaxed body can help people think and recall
better.
7. DONT TAKE GENERAL EDUCATION LIGHTLY.
The exam is divided into three areas. General
Education, Professional Education and your Major.
40% of your general average is from your major.
Another 40% from Professional Education and the
remaining 20% from General Education. Yes, Gen. Ed. Is
only 20% of your average thats why test takers often
focus on Prof. Ed and Major a lot not knowing that
General Education is the hardest part of the test. Most
questions in this area are about the topics you have
studied during elementary days and are very hard to
recall. Do not be assured that youll be able to answer
the questions easily thinking that this areas just about
the basics. Lots of test takers pass the Major and Prof.
Ed but fail in General Education that they fail the exam
as well.
8. PREPARE EVERYTHING THAT YOULL NEED
WEEKS BEFORE THE EXAMINATION.
Its always better to prepare early so I suggest
that you prepare the pencils, erasers,
calculators, STAMPED/METERED ENVELOPE,
PRC RECEIPT, Notice of Admission (NOA), ruler
and HANKY (use it when wiping the eraser dust
on your paper) 2 or 3 weeks before the exam.
You cant afford to feel stressed or worried
about the unavailability of these things days
before the exam.
