What methods, techniques, prayers etc. did you use to pass the board exam?

[Akon]

i'm curious as to how far we can go by trying lots and lots of things just to pass the board exam. i remember one boardmate who took shabu so that he can study from 6pm to 6am  . so how bout the rest of you? ano naman ginawa ninyo?

[paranz]

no special techniques, nothing dramatic. just study hard and intelligently as frequently as possible. i dont cram, coz kawawa brain 

if i feel bored, ineffective, tired, or hungry, i just remove them out of my mind and keep on. 

[krayziebone]

during my review, i just read the books that needs to be read and when i felt like going to sleep, i slept. i didn't force myself to keep on studying. kc kung inaantok kna tlga, di mo rin naman maiintindihan yung binabasa mo at kinabukasan ay makakalimutan mo rin, masasayang lang yung oras at pagod mo.

yan lang para skin, pero yung iba.. staying up late works for them..

wag din kalimutang magdasal palagi.. lalo na on the day of the exam.. dapat hindi ka kakabahan..

Do things that will utilize more your photographic memory. Yung mga formula, notes etc. i-post mo sa kwarto mo. May nasa dingding, may nasa pader. Pag kailangan i-retrieve yung isan g info - look first for the location. Mas madali mag memorize ng ganito.

[Ate Shey]

ang tawa dun is "mnemonics" hehehehe.. dapat magaling ka diyan para madali mong ma-memorize ang resistor color codes o kaya yung family IV ng periodic table of elements.

Naka, ang dami dami.

ginawa din namin to.. napuno yung kwarto namin ng manila paper.. kahit saan sulok ka tumingin, may makikita kang formula o di kaya mnemonics.. hehehe

methods: sagutan as many as you can yong mga review books, review materials, etc.. sad to say para saming mahina ang short term memory, kelangan ulit-ulitin para mafamiliarize, so importante time management..
technique: review as group, and each should have different review center. and as much as possible dapat nasa isang haws lang kau para madali pag-share ng infos..
prayers: a lot of prayers (nagpa-novena pa ata mga kamag-anak ko sa province)
etc:forget muna about love    (well depende sa nagti-take ng review) kahit may sinagot ng iba ung love mo, and wala kang magawa kasi busy ka sa review! 

to summarize: just focus sa review!

[Google]

pinakamganda muna 1st year pa lang galingang muna hanggang five year kasi kung di mo gagalingan wala din kwenta pagrereview mo. At saka kung few months before k pa mag aaral ng matino, sasabog ang ulo mo dahil di n kaya ang mga pinapasok mo...

Ako, sinulat ko mga formula sa comms in a short size bond paper, malaki pagkasulat, tapos nilagay ko sa clear book.  Ibang clear book naman para sa mathematics, sa mga standards ng comms, sa formula ng elex, at sa geas. Mga apat na clear book yata lahat.  Dala-dala ko sa review center during our review, refresher and coaching.  Group study kami during saturdays and sundays, during working days naman, tawagan kami sa phone pag may mga problems na hindi ma solve.  Yong mga bright na mga kasama ko, meron din pala clang hindi ma solve na ako lang naka solve, at sinishare ko sa kanila.  Pero karamihan talaga sa mga difficult problems cla yong maka solve at sinishare nila sa amin na mga hindir bright pero hindi rin naman bobo.  Tapos, nag 13 churches kami, umpisa 5 in the morning at natapos kami 6 pm na on the same day.  Pag malapit na kasi board exam yong mga pinag-aralan natin hindi na makakatulong yon, kahit anong review nyo pa, prayer na lang sandata natin.  But i'm not saying na huwag mag review.  Critical part of course sa review ay yong coaching.

magtakda ng panata.

Bear in mind: "As you think, you shall become"

so kung malibog ka magisip, magiging ganun ka
at kung engineer ka magisip, yun ka talaga

hehe (dont take things too seriously ika nga)

[? Oatmeal ?]

etc:forget muna about love   (well depende sa nagti-take ng review) kahit may sinagot ng iba ung love mo, and wala kang magawa kasi busy ka sa review! 

to summarize: just focus sa review!

i strongly agree about this one.....forget everything and read, solve, and hmmm memorize.....namemorize ko nga periodic table eh..ehehhe...and about sa mnemonics madami dyan sasabihin ng mga review centers like ung 16 paper roses na pinadala ..which is very funny talaga...sa spring po ata ito ah basta nilabas ko na kasi lahat....and i suggest bringing ruler and protractor sa math and others baka kasi may graph na di mo masolve like sa geometry...so mano mano nalang makukuha rin. eto po about mano-mano.....and dapat nakacondition ang calcu...may battery etc etc.....and most of all prayers...if time is running out...just ask God and pagbibigyan karin..meron nga sa bible kumatok ka at ikaw ay pagbubuksan diba?....

malaking problema yan eh kasi stored knowledge is not enough sa board para masabing prepare ka na..

base on my observation ha, sa review center:
1. nai-encourage kayo na mag aral mabuti
2. may mga bits of info na sa center mo lang makukuha
3. etc.

anyway pag may time ako hanapin ko yung mga review materials ko na soft copy bigay ko sayo 

[graSS]

READ.. READ.. READ... lng jud na mga pare... tapos REST REST REST.. PRAY pud

[paranz]

start reading and practice solving..

repeat again and again. As you solve many problem, you will gain confidence and that is the key during the actual exam..

[akhen]

Dream, Believe, Survive.
  ...pero when you dream, you have to work for it. kc if not, magiging bangungot yun...

My style:
1. Pray, pray, pray, believe in HIM and believe in yourself.
2. Study 10 hours a day.
3. 1 subject in the table at a time para di matemp na aralin ang ibang subjects (one subject at a time para di maglabo-labo)
4. Proper time management. Schedule everything and stick with it.
5. Don't cram, relax! study 6 days a week and leave the 7th day for GOD.
6. And the last... I write my name in an index card with Engr. at the beginning and post it in my study area. Essence? Pag wala ako sa mood mag-aral, tititigan ko yung index card & tell myself, that will never happen pag di ako nag-aral. Self-motivation baga...

[AirWire]

Be resourceful. maki-join sa ibang student from different schools and learn from them. At syempre, mag-share ka rin dapat. Tapos learn some calculator tricks. Some differential and integral equations can be solved by calculators. Since di naman bawal ang calcu, maximize mo na ang gamit.

[Audric]

Pre pray ka lang then aral ng aral.. wag ka na matulog, mag aral ka na lang pag nakapasa ka na pede ka na matulog habambuhay, hehehe.. joke lang ha...
Ako nun may schedule, 1 month for mathematics(Major) Electronics (Minor) Comms(Minor) , 1 month for elctronics(Major) Math ( Minor) Comms(minor) , 1 month for comms (Major) Electronic (minor) comms (minor).

Sa Math---practice, practice, practice, lagay ka sa room mo ng mga formulas yung mahihirap, then kada madaanan mo, kelangan mong basahin. (kung sya pa rin yung examiner sa Math(2003), ireview mo yung mga past math questions, mahilig sya mag recycle. hawa ka rin ng mga index card, para pag wala ka ginagawa, halimbawa waiting for the review instructor, basa basa ka muna.
Sa Electronics - tapusin mo yung Grob Basic Electronics, tsaka yung...nakalimutan ko na eh.. then read past exams.
Sa Comms - Frenzel, Tomasi, etc (nakilumatan ko na).

Nag Top Six ako nuon..sama ng loob kasi sabi ko ang aim ko is to be number 1.
