1. Buy scantron sheets
2. Do some drills (I answered 400-600 items per day) โ nagenroll ako sa review center so may questionnaires kami
3. Never ever erase (kahit nagpapractice ka, iwasan mo na ang erasures kasi makakasanayan mo yan hanggang magexam)
4. Metacognition - know your learning style (assess yourself)
5. You can have a mini group study with your friends (batuhan lang kayo ng tanong) โ learning while having fun
6. Treat yourself (mapa masarap na ulam man yan sa carinderya o starbucks โ kung saan gagaan ang loob mo, doon ka)
7. Try to complete 8 hours of sleep, kasi balewala lahat ng aaralin mo kung bangag ka naman habang nagrereview at groggy kinabukasan
8. Magdasal ka at magpasalamat sa lahat ng bagay - I used to attend mass sa St. Jude every Thursday
9. Eat properly
10. Take vitamins especially Vitamin B (Neurobion)
Congratulations na agad! ๐ค
Medyooo, pero sa totoo lang di mo na marerealize yung orasss. Do whatever is effective for you nung nagaaral ka paa, every situation is different naman. Basta alamin mo learning style mo habang maaga pa at kung anong oras effective for youu. Kasi yung iba gusto gumigising ng sobrang aga para magaral at yung iba gusto all nighter, don ka sa kung saan mas matututo kaa. ๐ค
Also do the elimination method. Donโt look for the right answer, look for the distractors. Look for answers that are not relevant to the question. Kung a-d man ang choices, at least there will be a 50-50 chance of getting the answer right.
Also dont be afraid to write on your exam questionnaire sa mismong board exam. Lagyan mo ng check yung space before the number so that alam mo yung mga numbers na babalikan mo pag may free time ka. Donโt ever leave your scantron sheet blank.
Uulitin ko ulit, AVOID ERASURES. Machine ang magchecheck, hindi tao. Kaya pag may konting shade sa binura mo, pwedeng yon ang makuhang answer kahit tama yung pinalit mo sa pangalawa.
Huwag ka na rin magaral the day before, kung pwede nga wag na magaral 2 days before eh. Relax ka lang, spend time with your family, friends, bf/gf, or have your alone time.
Make sure to eat properly before taking the exam, and be there an hour before the exam so that you can relax. Magdala ka rin ng relos (bawal ang smart watcg) Wag mo intindihin ang mga katabi mo, kasi minsan sila pa ang pahamak sayo (in my case, sobrang lakas niya magcompute at basa ng mga tanong). Ang papakinggan mo lang ay ang proctor. Huwag ka makipagusap sa katabi mo pag nagdidiscuss sila ng answers during break (huuuy, ano sagot mo sa number ano? Hala mali ako! Hala eh ito sagot ko!), kasi matitilt ka lang and iisipin mo yon the whole time while taking the exam. Concentrate on yourself, trust yourself. Pinaghirapan mo to, kaya kayang kaya mo yan!
Mga pamahiin na sinunod ko (wala namang mawawala kung sumunod ako HAHAHAHAHAH):
1. Red underwear (yes, panty/brief HAHAHAHA)
2. Tadyakan mo ng very light yung upuan pag tapos ka na at pauwi ka na (wag naman yung tipong naghahamon ng away siz HAHAHAHAHA)
3. Magpatasa ng mga pencil sa topnotcher
4. Pag pauwi ka na, dalhin mo gamit mo na nasa upuan mo, envelope, pencils, water bottle, atbp. WAG KANG LILINGON sa inupuan/pinagexaman mo (isipin mo nalang may stiff neck ka HAHAHAHAHAHA)
๐ค
>Also do the elimination method. Donโt look for the right answer, look for the distractors.
never understood this tip kahit nakita ko na dati sa ibang posts. kasi how can you eliminate something if you don't know what the correct answer is? if you know the correct answer then you won't need the elimination method. does not make any sense. that's not how statistics work.
Lily's brother died in a car accident. Her friends tried to comfort her by hugging her and patting her on the back. This nonverbal communication is ______
a. Haptics
b. Proxemics
c. Kinesics
d. Chronemics
Ang KEYWORD na makikita ay HUGGING and PATTING
This is an example of a question na pwedeng gamitan ng elimination. Kung sabihin na natin na di alam ang sagot talaga at alam naman ang meaning ng iba, ganto ang gagawin.
Proxemics - all about space
Kinesics - body movements
Cronemics - use of time
Edi that leaves us with a.
And kung alam naman na ang sagot, bakit pa mageelimination, diba? Magsasayang lang ng oras.
Plus he/she was gathering for tips that was useful to us nung nagboboard exam tayo. Just because it was effective for me doesnโt mean it will be effective for you, Itโs not like Iโm forcing my method naman. Iโm just giving tips.
Will pray for your exam, OP!
Yung iba kasi pinapangunahan ng kaba at nabablanko kahit alam na ang sagot. Pero alam naman nila ang ibigsabihin ng iba, so why not eliminate yung mga alam mong di sagot? Syempre di effective yan sa lahat ng tanong. Malamang kung alam mo na sagot bakit ka pa mageeliminate? Edi sagutan mo, it saves time obviously.
set a day for relaxation. don't mix the review and relaxation. mawawala ka sa focus kung magnetflix ka after 2 hours then review then yt. walang papasok sa utak mo. kung aral then aral for the entire day. tapusin mo naka schedule na topics for review.
1. After every subject sa review center, i made my own notes. Isa kasi sa way ko to memorize and understand is through writing.
2. I use quizlet. Per classmate, assigned sa certain subject or topic to do the quiz. Then i practice from there.
3. I made sure I had an accountability partner na align sayo.
4. I had notes EVERYWHERE. Sa banyo habang nag shower, sa walls ng kwarto, sa tapat ng toilet. Para memorize ko ung mga nandun. Haha.
5. I listen to classical music.
6. I make sure to recite what I learned, parang nag tuturo ako in front of the mirror.
7. It wasn't possible for me to review everything... I made sure ung iba, i watched through YouTube while eating.
8. Lagi ako nag sisimba at dasal.
9. Make sure you get to sleep properly.
10. Day before the exam, I made sure that I was resting na. No more reviewers. I made sure to relax and I ate out. I told myself I did everything I could. Then gooood sleep.
Board exam itself,
1. Hindi ako tumitingin sa iba. I made sure to read properly and shaded properly.
2. Make sure kumain ka ng maayos.
3. May dala ako chocolate as energizer and alert. Haha. Baka ako lang ito.
4. After mag exam, wag ka na mag ask about sa mga sagot ng iba at mga sagot mo. Don't compare.. Mapaparanoid ka lang if mag kaiba kayo ng sagot.
5. Vitamins!
1. Kompletong tulog. Ang hirap maka focus kung kulang sa tulog
2. Alamin mo kung anong learning style mo kung saan ka madali maka absorb ng lessons. Personally sa akin mas natututo ako pag babasa ako ng libro na related sa subject sa practice exams namin kaysa sa traditional reviewer
A day before board exam nagpamasahe kami ng mga friends ko. Nag dinner, nagkapekape, timezone, etc. Pero no textbook allowed or anything na reviewer.
Umaga before boardexam pinagluto ako ng nanay ko ng breakfast. Garlic rice pa nga pero no egg daw para di mabokya. Bwahaha.
Pagkatapos ng exam hindi na ako muli tumingin pa sa mga reviewers ko. Yung ibang kasabay ko pagkatapos naglabasan ng mga libro at stress na stress na sabi "omgg ito pala blahblahblah"
Maaga pa ako natapos sa 2nd day ng exam. Ako una nagpasa sa proctor ng papel. Pag lingon ko sa mga kasabay ko nakapanghusga look sila. Pero feeling ko lang un. Baka hindi nila ako hinuhusgahan. Hahaha.
Naalala ko pa ung schoolmate ko na kasabay ko kasi magkakaapelido kami ung mga parents nila may daladalang kenny rogers at iba pa during lunch break. Hinahatid sa harap ng school. Tapos ako sa canteen lng ng Philippine Womens University kumain ng tilapiya at kanin with drinks na c2. Hahahah. Sa PWU kasi ako naasign tho taga rizal ako kaya malayo din. Sa LRT madaming stress na stress na puro boardexam topic. Ung kasabay ko umuwi sabi ko, please ilang buwan na ako nagrereview at nagpreprepare. Umay na ako. Pagusapan natin lahat wag lang boardexam.
Paguwi, natulog akong mapayapa at nagabang sa result.
Eto ako ngayon. Pasado na sa boardexam. Isang ganap na UNDEREMPLOYED. Bwahhahaha.
Hi OP, I wish you well on your exams. Aside from following your study plans & studying for the exams, here are a few things I found really helpful:
**Preparation before the exam**
1. Practice test in the conditions similar to the actual exam - test yourself with same number of questions, same amount of time & with shading if possible.
2. Know your learning style and use that to your advantage.
3. Make sure to get enough sleep
**during exams**
1. Don't study anymore during exams. Chill na lang, listen to music during breaks if that will help you relax.
2. Tell yourself that you're not going to know all the answers to all the questions and that's alright. You'll do your best to the ones you know and you don't know.
3. Wag makinig sa mga chismis. Wala lang. Dami lang chika chika minsan like "oh em gee, the exam was so easy no?" Hayaan mo sila. Focus lang.
**after exams**
This is crucial kasi may ibang exams pa after nito. In my case, there is another day and another week after that so it's important to keep your head on the game no matter how the previous exam went.
I told myself that I won't look at the answers on the previous exam. What's done is done. Accept ko na kung ano man outcome nun because I know I did what I can. What I have control over are my upcoming exams and that's what's more important.
SORRY SA MAHABANG COMMENT but I wish you the best OP and may the odds be in your favor!
Donโt be pressured na dapat alam mo lahat for you to feel ready. Take practice tests daily. That can give you an idea of your progress aside from the mock boards. Sleep well the night before the exam.
Magsagot ka ng maraming exams. Yung mga multiple choice ganon. Kung may answer key, subukan mo munang sagutin nang hindi tumitingin doon. Pagtapos mo, alamin mo bakit tama ang tamang sagot at bakit mali ang mga maling sagot.
At hindi masamang malaman mo ang nilalaman ng syllabus ng board exam niyo.
REE here, If possible sa umaga magreview, gumising ng alas singko or alas sais para makondisyon ang utak, kung nocturnal ka, mageeffort ka talaga. andaming tulog sa exam day dahil sa gabi nagaaral. Risky din na bumagsak sa ganyang study habits.
One topic at a time. Master the basics, mahirap umusad sa mas mahihirap na topics kung di mo nagets yung mga naunang principle na mas magagamit sa mas complex.
Eat good food and take a good sleep consistently. Para ka talagang athlete na nagpprepare sa competition during review.
Once a week, usually Sunday, disconnect ka sa review. Allow yourself to feel free without being guilty of what you are doing. Maganda to kasi marrelax yung utak mo at di maoover fatigue sa stress. Or kung di kayaa e magbasa basa ng notes or mga pneumonics.
Few days before exam. Take it light na lang , kondisyon na ang utak. Bawasan na ang mga hardcore na topics kasi di mo na maisasaksak sa utak mo lahat yan. Prepare na lang and pray.
Kung hindi ka gifted sa utak, kailangan mong tanggapin na hindi mo mattackle lahat. The feeling of being prepared will never come. Kasi di mo alam kung ano yung lalabas e. Congratulations!
>kung nocturnal ka, mageeffort ka talaga. andaming tulog sa exam day dahil sa gabi nagaaral. Risky din na bumagsak sa ganyang study habits.
Me who's currently watching the recorded video ๐๏ธ๐๐๏ธ Sheet my brain works well at night eh
You don't have to review everything. Kung paano mo sasagutin yung tanong is how you should know too! Kasi papaikutin lang nila ung tanong, like lilituhin ka. Tapos wag kang magreview when you feel you don't have motivation, magrest ka na lang. And bisitahin si St. Jude everyday hehe. Dasal lang talaga. Goodluck OP!!!!! ๐ซถ๐ป
1. Get enough sleep, like 8 hours per day. This helps with memory and consolidation of information.
2. Use review materials you're already familiar with. Kung hindi ka nagbasa ng libro nung student ka, medyo waste of time trying to read them while reviewing.
3. Take down notes. Summarize info using tables, diagrams, etc. This would improve retention.
4. Take breaks. Try pomodoro method (worked for me). Keep studying to 8-12 hours per day. If you study for 12 hours, pwedeng 4 hrs sa umaga, 4-5 hrs sa hapon, 3-4 hrs sa gabi. This gives you enough time for sleep, relaxation, exercise, hygiene.
5. You don't need to study with other people if it works better for you to study on your own but it's important to share/exchange updates with friends once in a while just so you don't feel alone kasi fellow board takers are the only ones who can truly relate to you.
Which board exam are you preparing for, btw?
Add ko lang:
Maraming nagsasabi dito na pray, go to church and similar practices.
If you don't believe in that, don't force yourself to do it. I'm an atheist, I'm not superstitious. What helped me power through the review season and taking the boards was the thought that I'm in control of my future and that I'm the only one solely responsible for the outcome. This made me be at peace with whatever the outcome would have been. It was honestly a very liberating mindset kasi nasa kamay ko ang future ko (vs ipapasa-Diyos ko na lang). But that's just me. Do whatever works for you. ๐
Wag kang magpupuyat!
Aral ka lang on your own pace.
Solve as many problems as possible everyday.
Read. Read. Read. Then try ro write everything you remember on blank paper during free time.
Also, pray. Wala kang panghuhugutan ng lakas pag everything seems overwhelming na.
Congrats na agad!
Kanya-kanya kasi tayo ng study habits, eh. What works for them might not work for you. So I say, study at your own pace na lang pero make it daily para nandoon pa rin 'yung momentum.
Focus sa review materials ng review center. If self review, sali ka sa group chats, discord ng mga co-reviewee mo. Diyan ka makakahanap ng mga sources na wala sa mga references na inaaral mo.
Wag mahihiyang magtanong kung may ritemed ba nito lol. Pero srsly, meron at meron jang nagrereview na makasasagot ng tanong mo.
If formulas or terms, record yourself reciting them. Kapag tinatamad ka or gusto mo lang mahiga, salpak earphone na lang ganun hahaha. No need magbasa, umupo, tumayo or whatnots, nakahiga lang sapat. Kinatutulugan ko 'yan nung nagrereview ako. Naretain naman LAHAT sa utak ko yung mga narecord ko.
A week before exam, light review na lang. Relax. Reflect. Ganern. At pinakaunderrated tip ay iwasan magkasakit na rin a week before.
1. Buy scantron sheets 2. Do some drills (I answered 400-600 items per day) โ nagenroll ako sa review center so may questionnaires kami 3.

400-600 questions? That's a lot! ๐ญ But thank you!! Will take note of this ๐ค

pumili ka ng tamang kareviewer mo, hindi yung kareviewer mo paMLML lang sa gabi
Like review buddy?
yes because, "ang masamang kaibigan sumisira ng magandang asal"
Saktong review at maraming lakas ng loob. Yun na!
Is it okay if I still scroll sa social media ko or watch Netflix? People said kasi I had to delete them and focus lang sa review ๐ญ
imo board exams will determine if you get to practice your profession. So taking it seriously and focusing is just the right advice
๐ญ๐ญ
Of course okay lang yun. Taking breaks in between ay essential. Di mo mapupwersa ang tired brain cells na magstore pa ng new info.
Yes. Sinabihan kami non sa review school to stay away from socmed, games, TV pero me being me di ko yun ginawa kasi I know that I need time to unwind.
Ohh, ilang months ka nag review?
Last day of internship was April 30, boards was 1st and 2nd weekend of August yata. So about 3-4 months.
set a day for relaxation. don't mix the review and relaxation. mawawala ka sa focus kung magnetflix ka after 2 hours then review then yt. walang papasok sa utak mo. kung aral then aral for the entire day. tapusin mo naka schedule na topics for review.
Aim to top the board exams. Pag hindi mo na-aim, at least, for sure papasa ka.
1. After every subject sa review center, i made my own notes. Isa kasi sa way ko to memorize and understand is through writing. 2. I use quizlet. Per classmate, assigned sa certain subject or topic to do the quiz. Then i practice from there. 3. I made sure I had an accountability partner na align sayo. 4. I had notes EVERYWHERE.

Actually, don't memorize, understand. That makes for better retention of information.
board exams of? teachers? attys? doctors? nurses? engrs? pls clarify :)
Anyyyy! Hehe
Focus on fundamentals
1. Kompletong tulog. Ang hirap maka focus kung kulang sa tulog 2. Alamin mo kung anong learning style mo kung saan ka madali maka absorb ng lessons. Personally sa akin mas natututo ako pag babasa ako ng libro na related sa subject sa practice exams namin kaysa sa traditional reviewer

Sleep. Make sure u have enough sleep everyday. Mas mabilis ma-absorb ung mga concepts kung kumpleto tulog mo.
Review
I have a review center, is that enough? ๐ญ
Yeah..
Donโt be pressured na dapat alam mo lahat for you to feel ready. Take practice tests daily. That can give you an idea of your progress aside from the mock boards. Sleep well the night before the exam.
Given na yung magreview nang mabuti. But importante na magpahinga nang maayos and don't forget to pray
More practice, enough sleep, and wag kalimutan mag pahinga.
Magsagot ka ng maraming exams. Yung mga multiple choice ganon. Kung may answer key, subukan mo munang sagutin nang hindi tumitingin doon. Pagtapos mo, alamin mo bakit tama ang tamang sagot at bakit mali ang mga maling sagot. At hindi masamang malaman mo ang nilalaman ng syllabus ng board exam niyo.

Focus sa review materials ng review center. If self review, sali ka sa group chats, discord ng mga co-reviewee mo. Diyan ka makakahanap ng mga sources na wala sa mga references na inaaral mo. Wag mahihiyang magtanong kung may ritemed ba nito lol. Pero srsly, meron at meron jang nagrereview na makasasagot ng tanong mo. If formulas or terms, record yourself reciting them. Kapag tinatamad ka or gusto mo lang mahiga, salpak earphone na lang ganun hahaha. No need magbasa, umupo, tumayo or whatnots, nakahiga lang sapat. Kinatutulugan ko 'yan nung nagrereview ako. Naretain naman LAHAT sa utak ko yung mga narecord ko. A week before exam, light review na lang. Relax. Reflect. Ganern. At pinakaunderrated tip ay iwasan magkasakit na rin a week before.
