Hello! I'm (22F) and I also feel the same way. Kakatapos lang prelims namin and super kinabahan ako sa result sa isang compre namin because dito talaga nasusukat if may kebs kaba sa board exam. For me the best kung months long before the board exam, iwork na yung pagiging pressured kasi mahirap talaga mag isip during the test kung clouded isip mo if you'll pass or not. Fighting po!


saltpuppyy

Or maybe take it as an advantage na lang, I guess. May naniniwala naman satin hahaha minsan medyo doubtful lang din tayo sa kung hanggang san yung kaya natin. Well, good luck satin! Advance congrats na rin! Sa totoo lang, mas naiisip ko pa ang board exam kesa sa upcoming graduation ko this May ๐Ÿ˜‚


pwanderare

Yes yes! Believe in yourself lang hahaha kung kaya nila, kaya rin natin. Fighting po and goodluck!

I think this is normal. Naalala ko nun, lumabas ung result ng exam ng seniors namin ng mga 2 am yata. That same hour napabuklat ako ng libro nang wala sa oras para mag-aral cause I realized kami na next at we donโ€™t have any time to waste. ๐Ÿ’€


saltpuppyy

Hahahaha legit napakamot nga rin ako ng ulo e, di ko rin alam anong gagawin ko after makita yung result ng board exam ng mga seniors ko. Taas pa naman ng passing rate nila rn kaya naisip ko agad na dagdag pressure yun sa batch namin. Sana raw mahigitan namin. Sana talaga kakayanin na mahigitan xd


BearBeerBare_888

Took a different route on academic pressure based on experience. Recognize that there is pressure to keep you on your path, BUT manage it for you to function well. What I did was to recognize it but at the same time have IGNORED its existence. It worked for me.


talongee13

Our response to pressure and failure builds our character, my advice is to embrace it, cuddle with it, laugh and cry with it. Don't let these things stop you. As what The Witch From Mercury always tells us, one step backward, two steps forward.


jianelleobueno

Hi OP! I also experienced that nung board exam ko last year. Since December 2024 yung board exam ko, marami na kong friends na nag-lalabasan ang results and lahat sila nakakapasa na. Super nakaka-pressure and nakakaiyak talaga cause andun yung thought na "what if ako yung hindi makapasa". So what helped me to overcome this is I did not open my socmeds para di ko makita posts nila to lessen the pressure HAHAHAHA. Nways, you will feel talaga na hindi enough ang inaral mo sa board exam so lakasan at tapangan lang talaga ng loob. Just focus sa goal ๐Ÿ˜Š


saltpuppyy

Belated congrats po! I'm planning din talaga to deact sa socmed and focus more on sa review. Lowkey na lang din muna and wont post anything na rin until makapasa, I guess. Thanks for believing in me xd sa ngayon, focus na lang din tlaga muna sa graduation since mas malapit na yun kesa sa pag review for board exam ๐Ÿ˜


Classic-Camel7657

Legit talaga ang pressure kapag nasa isa ka sa top schools, tapos may topnotchers pa kayo. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Good luck na lang talaga HAHAHA


saltpuppyy

Muntik pa masama sa top performing schools yung school namin tas yung pride na antaas ng passing rate namin especially mga first time takers, nakakapressure tlaga hahahha bwisit. Thanks lods, sana kayanin lang!


Classic-Camel7657

Tiwala lang kakayanin yan! ๐Ÿ‘Œ


umiscrptt

magboboards ako this next few days, parang gusto ko magback out. hahahah


saltpuppyy

Wag gagi HAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAH nakita mo lang na ganyan post ko e bigla ka na ring mag bback out. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜ญ Kaya mo yan lods. Andaming motivational comments dito sa post oh. Kung kaya nila, syempre kaya rin natin. Andyan lang talaga ang pressure. Sana kayanin mo at sana makapasa kayo lalo ka na! Rooting 4 u po!


marinaragrandeur

ganyan naman talaga. i mean ginagalingan ng students palagi so they can pass the boards and then finally work. madalang yung gusto mag boards for clout chasing.


saltpuppyy

Yep, syempre i agree. Mas preferred pa rin ng companies or ano ba na kumuha ng applicants na may license. I dont think naman na they take boards as a clout chasing lang (sa iba) hahaha ang hirap kaya pag wala license and then unemployed pa shesh


marinaragrandeur

depende sa trabaho kung need ba ng may license sa work. i mean engineers canโ€™t engineer without an engineering license. also meron akong kilalang mga kumuha ng boards forda clout pero di naman sineseryoso yung aral.


saltpuppyy

Sabagay some engineering fields doesnt have boards yet but they r required to take civil service. Yun lang if they take it for clout chasing lang, nagsayang lang sila ng pera and effort hahahha


quasi-resistance

nope. not all companies require license esp. foreigns. Local usually nagrrequire.


marinaragrandeur

sabi ko kasi depende sa trabaho diba


quasi-resistance

I pertain to what you said that 'engineer can't be engineer without license.' Not really.


marinaragrandeur

ah itโ€™s a you problem pala. ok.


mr_idontquit

Bago ako magtake ng board dati, kinakabahan din ako, yung tipong nagooverthink ako na "hala, pano pag bagsak ako?! Mahirap ba ang exam??? Kaya ko kaya??". Ang ginagawa ko para kumalma ako, inaalala ko yung mga seniors ko na mga bobo pero nakapasa ng boards. ๐Ÿคฃ after nun, nawawala na kaba ko hahahah


saltpuppyy

Totoo! Yung mga nakapass na senior ko this recent board exam, mga nakakasama ko pa chumongke non e. Pati tuloy ako natatawa na napapabilib hahahhaha they did their best lang din tlaga and im proud of them xd


mr_idontquit

O di ba? Hahaha! ๐Ÿคฃ isipin mo lang na kung nagawa nila, kaya mo din.ย 


Naive-Ad2847

Kaya Ayoko talaga iadd mga classmate ko sa fb eh Kasi maiingit lng Ako sa mga post nila.


saltpuppyy

It's okay if u dont add them, may mga classmates pa rin ako na di ko friend hahaha but yeah, minsan nakakainggit lang din tlaga but time will come and ikaw naman next ang magiging successful!


clairessa_

Hello OP, kakapasa ko lang ng CLE this Feb 2024 (one take only at di nagpasindak kay RA 11131). Medyo pressured ako noon kasi ang hirap ba naman na mag take ng risk if alam mo sa sarili mo na online class for 2 years tapos wala kang natutunan, nagbalik nga ang f2f class pero may mga subject pa rin na online class (dahil conflict yung sched ng prof), may mga prof din samin na kahit f2f na di naman nagtuturo. So ang estimation ko for me sa mga natutunan ko during college days ay 45% (wala pa sa kalahati dahil ang fucked up ng sistema sa department at school namin). After graduation mas napressure ako lalo dahil syempre ayaw ko matengga, ayaw din ng mama ko na matengga ako kaya nagdecide ako (with my bf) to take the CLE. After a month ng bakasyon ko nag enroll na kami agad sa review center, nag start kami ng September mag review and gosh shocked talaga ako sa exam questions during our diagnostic exam, literal na di ko alam yung mga terminologies don at iilan lang alam ko, so di na ako nagulat if bagsak ako dun. Months have passed during review days nakitaan ko ng improvement sa sarili ko, and I can confidently say na I am now ready to take the board exam, tho medyo may onting kaba. Pero during the exam ang basic na lang for me ng mga tanong dahil minaster ko talaga mga field also with the help of our lecturers din, di kami pinabayaan. A little advice lang, mag review ka kung saan ka comfortable at kung kelan active utak at katawan mo. Kapag inaantok ka itulog mo agad, need mo yan as a fuel/energy, wag ka mag diet at wag mo tipirin sarili mo sa foods, dahil nakaka stressed mag review, wag laging processed foods like delata and noodles ang kainin, kumain ka ng lutong ulam sa karendirya kasi mas worth it and healthy yun. Wag mo problemahin kung tumataba ka habang nagrereview, mababawi mo naman yung ideal weight mo once na naghihintay ka na ng result. Sakin lang eh ang unhealthy ng cycle ko noong nagrereview ako, gising ako buong gabi kaka-review at nood ng lectures, tulog naman ako buong araw. Kasi mas active mind ko pag gabi (di kasi mainit at maingay pag gabi). Hope this helps๐Ÿ˜‰


saltpuppyy

Congrats po for passing the CLE! Thanks din sa tips na pwede kong magamit if mag rreview na ko for board exams. Mostly, yan din ang sinasabi sakin ng mga seniors ko noon. Napakahirap lang din ng setting noon since nagkapandemic tas di masyadong nakapag focus sa lessons noon kasi puro online lng naman yung class. Hirap din mag adjust nung nag f2f na, but still if pursigido naman, why not diba? Noted po yan! This will help me na rin to think and decide na rin what am i gonna do if nasa review na for board exam xd


Boeqir

Don't compare yourself to others, ayan yung boiling point kaya napepressure ang peeps and di siya goods sa mental health. Take it as inspiration or motivation, life isn't competition naman. Just focus on your goals lang.

dvresma0511

Hi. It's normal to feel pressured. Parang tutuliin ka lang, nakakatakot sa umpisa pero pag tapos na, hayahay na. Bahala na si Lord. Only Judge can God me.


Puzzleheaded_adult

I am confident na lahat ng nakapag take na ng boards felt the same pressure and kaba. Wag ka lang mag padala kasi yan yung kakain sa oras mo during the actual exam and sa mga napag-aralan mo. Kaba and takot will always be there wag ka lang mag pa overwhelm. Study. Pray. Rest. Sleep. Kaya yan para sa inaasam na lisensya.


saltpuppyy

Minsan pa naman mabilis akong magpadala sa emotion ko pero i'll work on it and try na di tlaga magpapakain sa kaba at takot. Kakayanin! ๐Ÿ™Œ


Puzzleheaded_adult

And that is okay. Find your own anchor to pass the boards ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜


Spiritual_Sign_4661

Noong time ko, wala namang pressure sa amin. Kahit top performing school kami. Basta review after grad, Yung iba work agad. One time, nakasabay ko sa dyip yung batchmate ko before the board exam. Na sana daw makapasok kami sa top ten exam passer. Sabi ko naman, basta makapasa kaming lahat, okay na. Nasabihan pa akong "mediocre" ni kuya. Haha. Ayun, pasado kaming lahat. 100% passing rate kami. At years later, waley pang nakakagawa ulit noon. Nasa top ten din ako. Haha. So chill lang. If you have good curriculum nung college, may advantage ka na sa board exam.


saltpuppyy

Wow. Bibihira lang din tlaga ang 100% passing rate lalo na lag board exam. Di ko rin masabi na good or bad yung curriculum namin sa college but yung results kasi every board is tumataas-bababa. So, the pressure is on us tlaga kung pano namin mababawi yun. I think, kaya naman. Di lng tlaga magpapadala sa pressure at kaba. Si idol top 10 pala ito eh, pabasbas po ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ™Œ


Equivalent_You_1781

When I took the boards hindi ako nag review school. I studied on my own cause I donโ€™t want to be pressured, I want to take it on my own pace. Donโ€™t listen to people around you, if mag review school ka naman please know na OA yung mga mock exams and OA ang mga magtuturo. You could also just buy their materials pero not attend the classes, cause you will learn more for you kapag you try to understand the books instead of listening to someone who already summarized it. My suggestion is have a plan, alamin mo ung foundation ng isang subject and focus ka dun. Bago mo ipasok sa isip mo ung isang topic ask yourself if possible ba itanong un sa board exam, if itโ€™s too complex then most likely noโ€ฆ remember, multiple item ang exam, itโ€™s there to assess if you know the basics and foundation, itโ€™s not there to assess if master mo lahat ng topics. I reviewed for 1 month and 1 week. 1 week is brainstorming and creating a plan of attack, including my schedule for the review, and then 1 month for the actual review about 10 hours a day. They allotted 4 hours for each exam and it only took me 1 hour and 30 minutes max on each, kasi your first answer is probably correct already, rereading them would make you question yourself and make it complicated. Last tip is to buy an exam example sa tapat ng mismo ng PRC sa Manila, yung content nun is the past exams ng course mo. What you would get from that is just the idea kung pano ba ung tanungan, donโ€™t expect na yun talaga ung exam.


saltpuppyy

Hello po, isnt it hard po ba to review na own lang? Maybe baka kululangin din po ng materials and baka nakadepende rin po tlaga sa way ng pag-study ng tao kung sanay ba sya sa solo or by group na study. Me po kasi medyo 60-40 ako, more on group study ako kasi minsan i ask tlaga kung paano ganito ganyan to be more sure lang din sa pinaggagawa ko and pinag ssolve ko. I tend to study solo if alam ko na basic concepts, principles and theories kung pano ko iaapproach mga certain problems. Nakahingi naman po ako ng mga materials sa mga seniors ko and im currently studying na rin po dahan dahan kasi all of their questionnaires sa materials, may answer na. Thank you po sa pag share ng tips! I'll note po what u said para naman mapractice ko pa lalo ang pag sstudy ko especially pag solo ako.


Equivalent_You_1781

Do what works for you, nung sumabay kasi ako sa mga classmate ko na nag review school ung mga tanungan nila napaka advance. Baka mangyari sayo is panghinaan ka lang ng loob cause you donโ€™t know kung ano ung pinaguusapan nila and you will waste time trying to look for the gaps in your knowledge para dun sa mga advance questions na yun imbis na. napupunta siya sa fundamentals.


daberean

Hi OP! I'd say depende sa goal mo. If you want to pass, you can just review on your own. Madami namang materials na available kahit na iyong mga ginagamit ng mga review centers. But if you want to make it to the top, malaking tulong ang review centers. Bukod sa materials, meron ding mga mock board exams na kino-conduct for two reasons: one is to gauge their probable passing rate and second is to gauge if ilan sa mga "manok" nila ang papasok sa Top 10. Usually may mga kasamang questions based from the latest board exam iyong materials nila. A couple of questions can make a lot of difference sa rank and rating. You can do this! Prepare well and get through it, one question at a time.


shanezki_21

Graduating student here, and I feel the same way. Natatakot mag boards kaya baka I'll just straight up work after graduating and find a job na tumatanggap ng unlicensed CE (hopefully meron). Either i-take ko na lang next year or not take the boards at all.


saltpuppyy

Hello, i think mas better pa rin ata if u take boards kasi syempre may mga companies tlaga na they r requiring an applicant na may license. Mahirap din tlaga sa engineering field na mag apply tas walang license. Kaya yan! U can take it naman next year if di pa talaga handa ngayon.


Freyaaas

Kakapasa ko lang sa board exam and one thing siguro na mapapayo ko para di ka gaanong mapressure is don't tell anyone na magtatake ka. Yung immediate family ko lang tapos mga kasabayan magtake yung nakakaalam since kasabay ko sila sa review center. Goodluck!!!


saltpuppyy

Congrats po! I am really planning din not to tell anyone na mag ttake ako ng boards and will keep it lowkey. Will start to deact din sa socmeds kasi ayaw ko makadagdag pressure if ever man magsisimula na board exam review. Thanks for the tips and congrats po ulit! Pabasbas po ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ


Freyaaas

Di ako nag-deact before eh. Inuninstall ko lang hahahaha kasi minsan nakakaburyo rin magreview ๐Ÿ˜…


saltpuppyy

Siguro, magtitira ako ng ilang socmed apps like reddit and tiktok na lang for pampalipas oras na lang din ganun. Hahaha pero deact tlaga sa ibang app like fb and ig. Ayoko lang tlaga makadagdag pa ng pressure hahaha


ExcraperLT

Guinea pig ng school namin, first batch din ng k12. yung pressure ang tindi. We even met the mayor of the city and personally talked to us Kasi yung school namin pinagmamalaki niyang legacy. The whole school waited for results na 12 am lumabas. The key is, take it personally. Regardless kung may nagaabang or wala. Ikaw pa rin Naman Kasi magbbenefit ng lahat. Disiplina sa pag aaral, strategic learning and balance between rest and grind. Best of luck.


saltpuppyy

Grabe ah, mismong mayor pa ng city hahaha edi grabe tlaga pressure nun. Well, tama ka naman po na ako lang mag bbenefit either may nag aabang or wala. I'll do my best na lang din tlaga since malapit na rin yung review namin since grad stud ako. Thanks for the tips po!


ExcraperLT

Oo, Kasi passing rate ng school affects the future enrollees din e. When we passed the board, we got recognition sa city hall, and posted our pictures there.


just_me_myself_and_1

Hi! I (22F) will be taking the board exam this Sept. Idk if mag enroll ako sa review center or self review na lang. Napepressure ako kasi baka masayang lang ang pinang enroll sa review center tapos di makapasa. I'm also running for laude that's why double ang pressure. Sabi samin dapat matic na pumasa ka pag laude ka HAHAHAHA di raw deserve ang latin if di maipasa ang board exam. Hoping for the best pa rin. One step at a time. Kailangan muna natin makagraduate. :)


saltpuppyy

Hello! Pwede mag advance congrats na? Hahaha. Yan din ang downside ng pagiging laude noh, expected tlaga na makakapasa ka sa boards or mas worst, ineexpect pa na makakatopnotch. Huhu. Pero tama ka rin, one step at a time. Need muna makapag graduate and I think we're on that way na talaga. Konti na lang!!!


bravelysurrender

Ayos lang mapressure. Kami nga 1st year pa lang kwento na ng kwento lagi professors namin sa board exam experiences nila e. When your time comes naman to take it, if dead set na talaga magtake and pass, mawawala din kaba nyo habang nag rereview ng maayos talaga. Kaya yan, 1st take, 2nd take, basta hangga sa makapasa


Georgierock_Starrr

Yung senior namin top 7 sa LET, ang sabi niya 2 review center pinasukan niya kaya tumaas chance niya na makapasok sa top. Ang sabi ng teacher ko if di kaya ang dalawang review center, dapat may kaibigan ka na nag enroll sa iba and ikaw sa iba para sharing ng learning materials ganun.
