ang board exam … bow

tuwing naririnig ko sa radyo o tv ang tungkol sa Nursing board exam leakage e palagi kong tinatanong ang sarili ko … ‘anong gagawin ko kung kasama ko sa examinees?’

i took the ECE board exam 6 months after i graduated from college. alam ko ang pakiramdam ng pinipilit mong irecall at kung maaari, e kabisaduhin lahat ng dapat na natutunan mo habang nag-aaral ka pa, sa loob ng anim na buwan. dumaan din ako sa punto na mistulang wallpaper ng kuwarto ko ang mga manila paper na ang nakasulat e formula ng calculus, geometry at kung ano-ano pang dapat daw ay alam ko. totoo ang sinasabi nila, mapapanaginipan mo lahat ang mga yun. at sa totoo lang, the night before the exam e gusto ko ng magbackout sa pag-take ng exam. ginising ko pa ang nanay ko para mag-iiyak at sabihin na ayoko na. buti na lang pinakalma ako ng nanay ko. :)

habang nageexam, nandun pa rin ang pressure …. makikita mo yung mga katabi mo na parang ang dali-dali ng exam kasi panay ang compute nila (yun pala nagpapanggap din sila katulad ko). at dahil 2 days ang ECE exam at maghapon pa, di rin namin naiwasan na magkakabarkada na magkatanungan kung ano ang sagot at paano sinolve yung mga questions. kahit anong swear and cross my heart pa ang sinabi namin before the exam na walang magtatanungan, nung magkakaharap na kami at kumakain e yun at yoon pa rin ang pinag-uusapan namin. matunawan ka ba? at parang habang kumakain kayo e ayaw mo na kunin yung next set kasi baka naman bagsak ka na sa una e bakit ka pa magsasayang ng oras. hehe.

pagkatapos ng exam, torture pa rin … di tulad ngayon na after one week e alam na ang results. noong araw e six months pa bago mo malalaman kung successful ka o hindi. meron kang 180 days para isipin ang mga katangahan na pinaggagawa mo habang nagrereview at kung bakit di mo nasagot ang mga questions. 6 months … hanep sa suspense di ba? no wonder meron mga napapraning kakahintay sa results ng board exams (lalo na sa bar exam!).

ngayon… kung kayo ang dumaan sa ganyan, willing ba kayo magretake ng exams, lalo na at alam mong pumasa ka ng totoo at di ka nakinabang sa leakage na yun? kahit ba sabihin nila na portion lang naman ng exam e. madaling sabihin ang mag-retake, pero sa totoo lang, mahirap gawin yun.

Naku, napakahirap mag review at mag-exam. Lahat yata ng dasal, pabuenas at kung ano ano pa ay gagawin mo para lang maging confident ka sa examination time.

Unless genius ako, papayag siguro ako sa re-take pero hindi yon eh. Ang problem, ipinapasa sa mga estudyante ang kapalpakan ng mga opisyales na dapat ay nangangalaga at nagpapatupad ng tama. Tanong ko nga lagi, bakit sa Pinas, kung sino ang walang kasalanan, siya ang nagbabayad at pinaparusahan.

Ang isa pang problema, maraming mga taong may vision. Isipin mo alam na nila na di daw tatanggapin ang mga nurses na pumasa lalo na sa USA.

Di ba nila alam na bago ka makapasok sa U.S. ay kailangan mo munang pumasa sa exam ng mga kano.

Senya na, napahaba.

hay naku sana ang matataas na opisyales sa school maging alerto sa mga issue na toh! tungkol sa mga teacher na puro nalang ang iniisip ay ang kapakanan nila wala silang pakialam anong mangyayari sa kanilang students…

parepareho lng talaga ng mga experiences yung mga nagtatake ng board exams, kaya sa lahat ng mga hindi na nakakagrad at may balak magtake, start reviewing as early as possible, and ask ng mga advice dun sa mga nakareview na, whether they passed or hindi, yung experiences nila and importante, how they triumph or fail., don’t rely heavily sa review centers, kasi it’s all up to you talaga, sure they can help, but what makes a difference is how you prepare yourself, hanapin mo yung way na makakalamang ka sa ibang magtatake.,

and also, be consistent sa prayers, usually kasi, pag nagrereview na at malapit na ang Exams dun pa lang pumupunta ng church., hehehe.,

\gudluck\sa\lahat\

im 29 now, supposedly 2000 ako gagradweyt pero dahil sa BARKADA, eh 2002 ako grumadweyt. At first wala akong balak mag take nang Board exam kasi BOBO ako sa MATH. As years went on, landed different Jobs, i’ve decided to take the exam which was on Nov. 2005. I quit working from CITY ENGINEERS OFFICE at Planning Division as a Computer & CADD Operator. But as soon i realize that my boardmates were worst than my Barkadas..for the First time i Flank the board exam.(Actually 83% COmm, 81 Elec & Holy Sh*t 24% Math!.only 3 sure answers from 50 questions..can you imagine?)..i HATE MATH!!!! then again i took the April 2006 Board exam without reviewing…FLANK pa rin! Gen. Average 62.3%. But i didn’t let my self down when applying …i gained more knowledge and experience when it comes to Engineering works such as electronics, computers, pheriperals, etc…than those newly successful ECE’s. Current JOb is from a CALL CENTER, as a “Senior IT Technical Support”. BUT AGAIN HOW I WISH TO BECOME A FULL PLEDGE EC Engineer…huhuhu, hanggang lang ba sa panaginip ang lahat?…please help.

im 30 now, graduated way back 9 years ago, took ece board exam nov 1999 but unfortunately failed. Being bread winner in our family I took my chance in applying for a telecom company and fortunately I was hired, i believe my willingness to help my family was the key to achieve what I am now. I was the first student in our batch to have a job related to ECE. During my review days, it was sat and sundays, these day are my rest day when im not in the office. All my batch mate who passed take the review seriously. On my part, i need to find a job to help my family, in short, I did not take the review seriuosly because of my Job. 2 years had passed and I realized that its time for me to look for better oppurtunity. I apply for another telcommunication company ( now rated as No1 or No2, i guess you Know it). Now im turning 7 years in this company and taking a position of senior engineer and handling one of the critical role in expanding network capacity. Just want share something to all you guys. I may not pass the board exam but i’m proud that I already raised my own family , of cource with good position in the company, high salary, with my own car and house and lot. All of these are result of my hardwork and dedication to my Job. I do have people under my supervison, they were all board passer coming out from very good schools. I also cunduct seminars and even board panelist for defense of graduating ece students. With my 9 years of solid foundation & actual ece professional experienced, i hope this will help me in this coming October, i will take my chance again, i hope this time i can make it. Good luck to all of us, God Bless!!!
