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. 9. PRAY
