To review full-time for the board exam?

[garfield22]

or work at the same time you prepare for the board?:depressed:

[Dacs]

To give you an idea, I was working when I took my board exam. Majority of the topnotchers in my batch were also working.

It's just a matter of time management, and if you can ask for a leave in your work prior to the boards, much better :D

[garfield22]

thanks very much.

I'll be taking the August physician licensures exam and while waiting for it, I'm working. Haven't started reviewing, though.

[garfield22]

august na?hindi ba medyo late na ang review mo?

[garfield22]

give me some tips naman sa review. I mean ano dapat gawin,motivation..etc.

[la_flash]

I was working on the first month of our review... I quit my job then
concentrated on my review... I passed.

I have one batchmate who didn't enroll in any review center, but he took
a refresher course... he passed.

I have one batchmate who attended review sessions and refresher course...
he failed.

I don't know any "sensible" engineering graduate who didn't enroll in at least
a refresher course before taking the board exam.

I guess, it is a combination of many things... You just have to persevere and have that good attitude.

well since I was also working while reviewing for the board exams, I had no choice but to enroll in the weekend classes which was very tiring kasi mula umaga hanggang gabi yun. As much as possible, uma-attend ako sa lahat ng sessions kahit sobrang pagod na pagod na ako. I heard na sa mga full-time reviewers ang daming pala-absent, so this is my first tip, ang pumasok sa review class

next, mag set ng self-review schedule sa gabi. in my case mga 7 pm na ako nakakauwi from work (pag walang OT) then review ako from 9-11 pm every night. so my second tip, set an evening date with your review materials and strictly follow this schedule. I had a hard time doing this seemingly simple tip pero isipin mo na lang na ito lang naman ang aaralin mo unlike nung college na ang dami mong subjects na iniisip

Next tip, don't ever think na just because you are already working eh "low risk" na anuman ang resulta ng board exam, dahil baka mag slack-off while reviewing. Of course, medyo totoo na di mo na kailangan ng board exam pero since you decide to take the board, then I assume na gusto mo pumasa.

ano pa bang pwedeng tip? nung time namin wala pang bunabagsak sa board so dagdag pressure yun sa akin dahil ayoko namang ako yung mauna dahil tiyak malalaman ng buong bayan. Kaya yun, sineryoso ko yung review

[garfield22]

so two hours alotted time for your review before?pano gimik?wala nang time?

[Kolmogorov]

nung time na yun wala masyado, kasi karamihan naman sa mga friends ko nagre-review din

[karona]

ganto kase un eh. . .bale kung work-review ka malamang wala ka ng gimik pero kung purong review ka lang more or less e meron ka pang time for a gimik every now and then. . .pero advise ko seo kung mamimili ka ren lang sa dalawa, dun ka na sa work-review. . .hehe e d pag pumasa ka e un ang pang celebrate mo *** kinita mo while reviewing. . .o d todo gimik un hahahah. . .

luck favors the prepared mind. . .

me impact paren ang luck sa board exams kase sa field ko (EE) dalawa ang board exams (REE and RME) bale sa REE lang talaga ako nag concentrate *** RME chinambahan ko nalang. . .aun naka-chamba naman 70 pa *** ave ko hehe :)


good luck sa board exams nyo :)

[garfield22]

so have to try my luck na to work then review? I'm not going to a review center.Self-study lang.

[mac_bolan00]

was working during my review for our board and comprehensives in MBA. study while working but 1-2 weeks before the tests, go on leave so you can review at a faster pace, longer hours.

anyone!!!Anong review center ang may magandang program for refresher. ACER kasi ako sa regular review. Try ko kasing lumipat kapg refrsher na.

Bigyan nyo **** po ako ng advice?

[garfield22]

EE poko. taga mapua bako?hahahaha???anong batch??natural sikreto baka mabuking pagbumagsak ako.pagpasado sasabihin ko...hehehehehe.Malamang taga mapua ka,sipag mo mag-aral ha.Working kanaba?

If you want to learn and at the same time pass, review in Mitrc or Acer
If you want a "sure pass", go to Excel.

Yung "coaching" in Excel especially in Math is a very big help.

[garfield22]

how bout in the REE review?ano bang magandang review center?

[karona]

ewan multivector daw. . .aces den daw. . .pero sa powerline ako nag review eh :)

[garfield22]

hahahaha.sabagay mag-rerefresher lang ako......saan kaya maganda?

How can u say na sure pass sa excel? *** mga exams bang binibigay nila eh halos un na rin *** sa board exam? Is it true na my leakage sa EXCEL?

just asking po..

[garfield22]

leakage?baka may taga PRC dito,yari ka.hehehe

[Kolmogorov]

I reviewed sa excel, at mukhang wala naman akong nakitang leakage. Though the reviewers always claim (or disclaim) that some questions in the coaching sessions will probably appear in the exams.


But why would you even trust the coaching alone to pass the exam just because of these rumors? Bottomline mag-aral ka pa rin, ke may coaching o wala.

[xybert_22]

Thats what im doing right now. Nag-aaral na ko ngyon. I started reading ELECTRONICS. Then communications tapos last na siguro *** math..

[Altwegg]

garfield22, I know. It's already June and I haven't started reviewing yet. I hope I'll pass the exam.

[garfield22]

^
ano ba course mo?refresher nalang kase ako.Right now im trying to finish math pero nagstop ako ng one week kase tinamad nako sobra.hhehehehe.hindi ba obvious :)

[la_flash]

Madali lang naman ang Math eh... kaya ok lang na ihuli...

Concentrate in Electronics and Comm.

During our time, Comm more difficult than Electronics... but I got a higher
score in Comm.. :rotflmao:

I got >95% score in Math... that speaks for itself... madali ang math.

[Kolmogorov]

^true. 95 din ako sa math and pinakamababa ko ang comm as expected!!!

[la_flash]

^true. 95 din ako sa math and pinakamababa ko ang comm as expected!!!

pinakamababa mo Comm... ako pinakamababa ko ang electronics... at
hanggang ngayon ay di ko alam kung paano nangyari iyon... :rotflmao:

naaalala mo pa ba iyong mga tanong sa board exam... dati nakabisado eh.
:rotflmao: kuwentuhan kami ng mga kaklase kung ano iyong mga sagot namin.
doon ko nalaman na dapat mas mababa ang comm ko...
