But the main questions remain. How to be prepared? What are the things
you need to do to be called “Licensed Professional”? What is the formula
for acing the board examinations?
Nobody knows the answers, except for those who already overcome the
sleepless nights from preparation, to reviewing, up to waiting for exam
results.
“Study hard but not too hard. You can start alloting an hour per day then
gradually increase it. Find your peak time, think of your reasons. Lastly,
pray that you’ll be granted with the blessing to pass the boards cause He
knows that you did your part as well.” – Kristhyl Mae Caneda
Passing the board exam isn’t like winning in the lotto where you just bet for
your favorite numbers without taking so much effort. Preparation is always
the key. – Anonymous
“Your brain is your primary weapon in this battle. Be sure that it is well fed.
Supply your brain with nutritious foods you eat and drink a lot of water to keep
you hydrated. Don’t forget to pray, it is very powerful indeed.” – Vindell
Singco
“We have 24 hours a day, divide it by 3, 8 hours for sleep, 8 hours for other
things and another 8 hours for reviewing/studying/solving. Use your time
wisely.” – Louie Albert Galila
Exam Proper. “Reading without moving your lips is better than reading aloud
because you read faster. This is important especially when you take speed
test like LET and Civil Service Exam.” – Abdulbasit Lain
“Review when you feel like doing it, do not force yourself. Find your most
convenient time of reviewing do not imitate others learning style, we are
individually different. Before the day of the exam just relax and worry
nothing, cast all your worries to the Lord. Be confident of what you know
and the love of God to you. Be confident but be humble, pray for your
success and your fellow takers.” – Abigale Sabado Tagala
8. Always be humble.
“How to attain success? Pray to God, never pull other people down, never
think that life is a competition, help, coordinate and cooperate, put your feet
on the ground, remember where you came from, give yourself a break,
remember that there are a lot of people behind you, cheering for you.
Believe that with God nothing is impossible and never give up.” – Randolf
Pad Re Quitevis
In answering, eliminate first, the two obviously wrong choices so you can
come up with 50% of chance of getting the correct answer. In choosing
between the two remaining answers always choose the one that is
completely related and closely related.. (This applies when you don’t know
the topic) but the bottom line is. Always know the basic concept of the
topic.
On the day of board exam, pray first. Be early in the testing site. Tone
down your anxiety by smiling or praying on your seat. Avoid unnecessary
talks with people who releases their anxiety because anxiety is contagious.
Follow instructions. Be careful with your answer sheet. Read the question
carefully as much as possible read it louder where you can hear it, so the
comprehension is more better, but not loud that it may disturb others. As
much as possible, rationalize your answer, if unsure. Don’t change your
first answer. (Especially if its a guess) Your first answer is an instinct,
answer that your brain remembers. Trust your instincts. Answer that is
closely related to the question. Encircle the clue words, and underline the
main question in the question.
If nerves attack while answering pause for a minute take a deep breath and
answer again. Focus is much needed. Avoid questioning the question. As
much as possible to avoid sleepiness, don’t lean on the back of the chair.
Seat only leaning on the arm but not on your back. Have your watch facing
you to be able to monitor the time. Lastly, pray before passing your sheet
and in all circumstances. Because in the end, only God will determine if you
will pass or not. Always answer within the concept and you can never go
wrong.” – Fam Fam
“Seek the Lord’s guidance. Pray before, during and after the exam. Believe
in God that you can do it, believe also in yourself. Stay fit. Eat healthy and
rich in protein foods, stay out of junk food and soft drinks while reviewing
and sleep early, wake up early. Focus. Put your mind in the present
situation and always remind yourself of your goal, to pass the board exam.
Laugh. Loosen up and give yourself sometime to recreate like watch a
comedy show, listen to comforting music or play small
games.Comprehend. Understand what you’re reading don’t just memorize
but find creative ways to remember easily what you already studied. like
mnemonics. As long as you put your mind into it, you can do it. What the
mind conceive the body achieves.” – Keziah Galay
“First, pray before anything else. Discipline yourself to focus on the
subjects that you are weak. Clear up your mind by not thinking stressful
events in your life. Have a balanced diet. Make friends because laughter is
the best medicine and most of all enjoy yourself reading a lot of books that
can add knowledge to your brain.” – Rachel Padron
“Ask it from our Savior. Don’t let your plans, dreams and goals be the like
instead make it happen, turn it into reality. Be optimistic and prayerful at all
times. Keep the faith, positive attitude and tenacity burning. If u really want
to pass or more than that, dont waste time. Prepare now! In the end, if it is
yours, it will always be yours.” – Qarlisle Blü
“Be physically, mentally, emotionally, and most especially spiritually ready.
No challenges are big if you let God handle your fears. Train and discipline
yourself to be devoted and motivated in passing the exam look for
something or someone that inspires you the most to do what it takes to
pass.” – Arlene Grace Castro
“Never give up. Pray to God” – Alma Cailo Egot

How an Examinee
Prepares for Board Exam?
Author: Admin Published: December 22, 2016 14 comments

“If you are not ready to go to war, don’t put on your combat clothes” (J.
Stanford). A quotation that proves that preparation, among other things,
has always been the key to winning any battle, so as with making it big in
any board exams conducted by any commission.
We ran a call from our Facebook fan page members, mostly board
passers, on how they prepare for board exam and we’re deeply
overwhelmed with below informative thoughts. If you are a current
examinee or planning to take board exam in the future, these will surely be
of big help.
PRAY
Pray for wisdom. Ask for His guidance. And when you finally see that
“vision”, that is when you will find yourself motivated to do all the things you
need to do. And the rest will follow. Trust yourself like you are entrusting
everything to the creator. – Edlyn C. Elorde
Pray! Not just during the exam. Have faith in God and believe in yourself. I
have studied 4 months for that 3 day board exam, reading 5 to 10 pages a
day in reviewer since not everything will be on the exam. Do your best! Use
your observations and comprehension. Take care of your health. Think
Positive. Pray and Pray. Enjoy the exam. – Jhon Anthony Pacarro
EAT
While reviewing, first, don’t skip meals and have at least 6 hours of sleep
because you need energy to function. Second, find your best time to read
so that you can fully understand your notes, also take some sweets while
reading (glucose is energy). Third, listen and take down notes (when you
are enrolled in review center) make sure to read notes or other review
materials everyday and lastly, don’t forget to pray, ask him for his guidance
and to give you determination. Remember, Do your best, and God will do
the rest. – Aurelle Cacayan
Drink a plenty of water. Eat regularly. And don’t forget to sleep. You can
never focus on your review if you don’t have enough sleep. Read and read
all the time because review centers cannot guarantee all the possible
answers. Believe your goal. Believe in yourself. Stay strong. And lastly,
prayers. Trust in Him. Do your best and God will do the rest! – Jerah
Peñaflor Dacillo
SLEEP
Sleep at least 8 hours before the day of the exam. It’ll help. – Felileo Ollave
Beltran
REVIEW
Avoid what ifs to the questions. Read as many as you can and understand
it by heart and by hypothalamus. And the most important of all, pray
always. – April Barandino
Read and read your handouts before you sleep . Eat healthy foods, sleep
early and just believe in your self – Mark Anthony Cueto Escalona
Suffer now, party later. Dreams are only dreams without hardwork and
perseverance. Don’t let your dreams be dreams! Work hard for it. Take
down notes, do not be absent in review days, drink more water, focus on
your goals and set aside those distracting thoughts! Study well and pray
harder. Remember when you do your best, God will do the rest. God is
good all the time. – Joyce Martha D. Celajes
First, Know the real reason why you are reviewing, focus on it. Second,
study wise not hard, we have our own limits in studying that if we exceed it
we might not understand what we are reading or solving, studying is right
but too much of it will stress you out, it’s better to study with less time but
have a quality than studying so long but didn’t comprehend it. Third, sleep
right. Fourth, Don’t compare your self with other reviewees, it might cause
pressure on you. Fifth, Be inspired by your family. Sixth and the most
important, pray to our God, Give thanks for everything, ask for forgiveness
and trust His plans with all your heart, never question Him. Remember
Jeremiah 29:11. – Renell Cristobal
I recently passed the BLEPP, thankfully taking the 10th place. There is no
substitute for hard work. We know that any board exam is difficult but we
fail to acknowledge the effort that this demands.
One thing that helped me through the entire process is focusing on what I
don’t know yet instead of counting which things I already know. There will
always be another reference text worth reading.
It’s also very practical to make a timetable that specifies which subjects,
chapters and even down to the specific pages will be covered for each day
and religiously follow this schedule. Lastly, do not compare your progress
with that of others. We all have different study techniques and even more
so the rate by which we can absorb knowledge. What matters most is that
you know yourself well to identify which works best for you. Don’t be
intimidated by that one review classmate who already memorized the entire
textbook or don’t be envious of that one friend who doesn’t seem to be
pressured by the upcoming board exams. You alone will determine your
own fate. Visualize that license and believe that you can do it! Not because
you were lucky, but because you worked hard for it! – Augil Marie Quijano
Robles
We reviewed for four straight months and it was really filled with faith,
perseverance, vigor and of course, hope. We traveled to Cebu (we are
actually from Davao) for us to really focus on our review, away from our
peers and colleagues in Davao. We had our review everyday and we
summarize the “subject of the day” every night by writing it down on a piece
of paper. We also give ourselves time to relax. that’s every weekends. We
do movie marathons, food trips, but making sure that the knowledge is still
in mind. We also go to church every Sunday and light candles in church on
our spare time. On the last month of our review, every night was turned into
a group prayer night. We prayed the rosary as a group (we are a group
living in one apartment with three rooms). On the last week of review, I
used to scan all my notes. the day before the exam day, we relaxed and
did a brisk walk in parks and malls to calm our mind and to tire ourselves
so it’ll not be hard for us to sleep due to overthinking for the exam. The
night before, I read all my notes and slept. I woke up early and read again
my notes, and time after time, I pray. We did not do intense reviewing the
week before exam and now I am a registered engineer. – Wilfred John
Abracia Manatad
KEEP CALM
Do not pressure yourself, If you like to sleep then sleep don’t force yourself
because your self knows when to be active. Answer 100 item questions for
the last 20 days before board exam – Cedric Ian
Stay calm, free your mind of worries and doubts. Read when you feel
reading and a lot info will retain. Pray a lot and always aim high but do not
expect a lot. – Sophia Marianne Terano
BELIEVE IN YOURSELF
You will never pass unless you have the strong desire in your heart to
pass. Because if passing is not a “big deal” to you then it will surely
manifest in your rating. Your ultimate drive is your strong desire to see your
name on the list of passers or even the list of topnotchers. If you have that
strong desire, you will work for it with all your might and give your whole
dedication to it. Always pray, and be confident in God as you review and as
you take the exam. – Mac Lomocso Delos Arcos
Do your best, the review centers can’t spoon-feed all the topics you learned
for 4 years, that’s why make reading a habit. Believe in yourself, no one
else will. Above all, trust in Him – Gre Thel
Pray before, during and after exam and even after the result. Make reading
a habit at least two hours everyday. Enroll to a reliable review center, if
possible. They will really help a lot especially on the techniques in
answering questions. According to our lecturer, in a board exam, you
should know how to attack the questions. Do not be overconfident. Prepare
your mind, body and soul. Lastly, have faith in God and believe in yourself.
– Jay Boy Pajo Dilao
BE POSITIVE
Preparing for the board exam requires courage and a positive mind. If you
feel that you’re not ready yet, then don’t take risk just because you’re afraid
to be left behind by your batch-mates. Take the exam when you feel like
your mentally and emotionally 100% ready. Always remember, it doesn’t
mean that if you took longer than the others, you fail. I waited for another 6
months after my graduation and skipped the June nursing licensure exams
because I don’t think I’m well prepared to take it right away. your future
depends on how well you do in the actual examinations. Always put in
mind, that if others can do it, you also can. Most importantly, surrender
everything to the one who is mighty to save. If a prayer can move
mountains, then how small your problem is. The board exam is a 500 item
exam yet you have a greater God who knows no limits. Preparing for the
board exam is about 10% knowledge and 90% prayer. Faith without action
is dead. Thus consistency, patience, and perseverance, your diligence will
bear fruit with a taste of sweet success. – Mai Habulan
First you must set your goal and set your priority. Understand yourself and
undertake more than what you think you can. Check your strength and
weaknesses. Challenge yourself to do better. Enjoy what you are doing.
Strategies, strive hard and never give up. Study. Lastly, pray for His divine
guidance. – Benj Peters
PRACTICE
Practice yourself in answering questions from previous board exams to
boost your critical and analytical thinking. Don’t memorize too much rather
understand key concepts.Most importantly, pray before you review. –

“Not everything you studied in review center comes out in the actual board exams, that is why it is important that you have
idea of everything. Always go back to your foundations. Because the questions are purely basic, but too hard to
comprehend.
In answering, eliminate first, the two obviously wrong choices so you can come up with 50% of chance of getting the
correct answer. In choosing between the two remaining answers always choose the one that is completely related and
closely related.. (This applies when you don’t know the topic) but the bottom line is.. always know the basic concept of the
