PLANNING FOR THE REAL


REVIEW
MAKE A CHECKLIST OF ALL THE
SUBJECTS IN ECE STARTING FROM
MATHEMATICS TO THE MAJOR SUBJECTS
PREPARE A BREAKDOWN OF SUBTOPICS
FOR EVERY SUBJECT. (you will be
overwhelmed by the enormous topics
that you will have to study. Dont worry,
it is a part of the process)
PREPARE A CHECKLIST OF ALL THE
MATERIALS NEEDED FOR THE REVIEW.

PLANNING FOR THE REAL


REVIEW
---- Your material checklist must include from
the smallest & simplest thing up to the big
ones. (example eraser, pencil, scratch
paper, binder, ballpen, calculator, books &
notebooks up to study table, computer, etc.)
COLLECT REVIEW MATERIALS AS MANY AS
POSSIBLE FROM DIFFERENT SOURCES.
( Previous notes & books, lectures notes from
review centers, board exam problem
compilations, lecture notes from other
schools, reviewer books, etc.)

Plan the Strategy on how


you will study Each topic
Recall the topics by scanning lecture notes?
Read the topics from books?
Recall the topics with the help of friends?
Solving problems using lecture notes, review
notes or reviewer books as your guide?
Memorize formulas?

A FRIENDLY ADVICE
The test questions are multiple choice type.
Solve the problems carefully and intelligently.
The board examination is not right minus
wrong.(ibig sabihin pwede hula, atin atin lang.
Wag mong ipagsabi. Ooooops, wag kang
umasa sa hula. Gamitin mo ang galing mo,
mag solve ka!)
Take extra care of your answer sheet. Dont
crumple, wet, tear off or expose to heat your
answer sheet.
Dont ever try to cheat or even think of it.

Dont let the examination proctor get


mad on you. (Wag kang papansin)
Do not announce your plan of taking
the board exam.
Be resourceful. Ask previous
examinees about problems and
solutions of past board problems.
Try to develop good handwriting. It is
never too late.
Dont forget to pray. It moves
mountain.

STUDYING TECHNIQUES
Select an ideal place of your choice where
you can concentrate in studying.
Dont overload your brain with too many
formulas.(know your kilobytes capacity.
Hehehe, joke lang, terabytes naman).
Memorizing technique using two major
senses(sight & hearing)was proven effective.
Prepare a systematic schedule for studying
Prepare all the materials needed before
starting the review.

If you are not in the mood for studying, relax


by reading, or playing a musical instrument, or
listening to your favorite music, then go back to
serious business, REVIEW.
File your used scratch paper. You might still
need it.
Resourcefulness is the key to solve difficult
problems. (ask a friend, a teacher, or scan
notes, books, etc)
Prepare a good illuminated studying table.
(Glares and shadows may distract your

STRATEGIZE YOUR WAY


TO THE POT OF GOLD, The
ECE License

THE WEEK BEFORE THE


BOARD EXAM
Review the checklist at the
beginning of each subject. If
there are major holes in your
preparation, select a few of
these areas to work on but dont
overload. You cant cram for the
board exam

TWO DAYS BEFORE THE


BOARD EXAM

Do your last studying. A few


practice solving problems, a
few definitions and other
objective type problems.
Thats enough.

THE DAY BEFORE THE


BOARD EXAM
Dont study. Prepare the following
items: (a) calculator with fresh
batteries (b) wristwatch (c)
sharpened pencil (d) good brand
ball pen (e) eraser (f) admission
slip (g) a snack and water.
Have a good sleep!
Pray before you sleep!

THE MORNING OF THE


BOARD EXAM
Eat breakfast. Make it
something substantial but not
too heavy or greasy. Dont
drink coffee if you are not
used to it. Read something.
Warm up your brain with a
newspaper or a magazine.
Dont be late!
Pray before you leave your
home.

DURING THE
EXAMINATION
Dont be shaken. If you find your confidence
slipping, remind yourself that you are well
prepared. You know the structure of the test.
You know the instructions. Youve studied for
every question type. Even if something goes
really wrong, dont panic. Try to stay calm.
Call the attention of the proctor for anything
that will be of help. Avoid going to the comfort
room. One of the PRC guidelines is to attend
to your personal needs before the start of the
exam. Remember that following you to the CR
is an additional work for the proctors

POST EXAMINATION
ATTITUDE

AFTER THE EXAMINATION

Once the test is over, put it out


of your mind.
Thank the Lord about it and
leave your fate in HIM. Start
thinking more interesting things
about your future.

USING CALCULATOR
1. Use a calculator that you are very familiar
with. Be sure you know how to use the
functions and special features of the model.
2. Remember that you need a scientific
calculator. A non-programmable calculator
is required.
NOTE:
- Not all problems are easier to solve using
calculator. Sometimes manual calculation is
more precise and easier
- Remembering common mathematical
values(e.g. cos 600 = 0.5, cos 00 =1, =
3.1416, etc) enables you to check instantly
whether your calculator malfunctioned or
youve pressed the wrong key

OTHER STRATEGIES IN DEALING


WITH BOARD PROBLEMS
1. Read the question first before looking at the
answer choices
2. Use the backdoor strategy if the answer
doesnt come to you
3. Eliminate other choice if it is not the possible
answer.
4. Pace yourself. Not too fast, not too slow.
5. Locate quick points if you are running out of
time.

POINTS TO PONDER

Good preparation will give you a better chance


to pass and will boost your confidence too.
Your Department, the EBEST office & the
whole TIP are one with your parents dream,
for you to become a licensed ECE. Please
Dont take the RISK. DONT TAKE THE BOARD
EXAM IF YOU ARE NOT READY.
So, Take the most thrilling RIDE of your life.
Plan your trip to the Board Exam and be
NUMBER ONE! Prepare,prepare,prepare.
Review, Review, Review!
Iba ang tunog ng Take One lang ako

WORDS OF WISDOM
If you fail to plan, you are
planning to fail
A sensible man watches for
Rick Warren
problems ahead and prepares to
meet them
Proverbs
27:12
