* Mag-suot ng PULANG PANTY or BRIEF. Kung hindi kaya, magdala ng something na Pula.
(Red is
associated sometimes with Good Luck.)
* Ipatasa sa TopNotcher ‘yung gagamitin mong lapis para makapasa ka or mag-top. (Pero ‘yung
kakilala kong Topnotcher, ayun haggard-na-haggard kasi ang daming nagpatasa sa kanya.)
* Surebol raw na papsa kapag hiniram mo ‘yung lapis na ginamit ng nag-top. (Sana pati utak nung
Topnotcher nahihiram din parang pwede na rin i-ShareIt.)
* Bago gamitin ang lapis at mga dadalhin na materials sa Board Exam, ipa-bless muna kay St. Jude
Thaddeus. Marami yatang St. Jude pero si St. Jude Thaddeus ang nilalapitan ng mga Board Takers.
(Proven and Tested. Basta lang naging mabait ka and masipag ka during review days.)
* Mag-alay ng mga itlog kay St. Claire sa Katipunan raw ito. (Hindi ko lang alam kung ilang piraso ng
itlog ang kailangan i-alay pero kung ako ang masusunod, isang tray ng itlog ang i-aalay ko.)
*NEW: Tapikin ang Blackboard, in English: “TAP THE BOARD” katunog ng “TOP THE BOARD” so
dapat before anything else na gagawin ninyo sa loob ng Testing Room, Tap the Board to Top the
Board.
* Kapag tapos nang mag-take, tadyakan ang inupuan. (Mas matinding tadyak mas masaya.)
* ‘Wag lilingon sa Testing Room or sa Testing Center, para hindi na umulit at bumalik muli. *Insert
Meme: Uulit-ulitin ko pa ba?*
* Baliin ang ginamit na lapis matapos ang Exam. (Naikwento ng Prof. namin dati na may gumawa
raw neto pero hindi siya nasali sa listahan ng nakapasa. Donate the used pencils instead.)
* Bawal mahulog ang lapis na ginagamit habang nagtetake ng exam. May hindi maganda itong
pangitain. Kung nahulog man, palitan ito ng isa pang lapis mong extra.
* Mag-lagay ng barya sa loob ng sapatos. Dapat ang plantar surface ng Pedis mo, in-contact sa
Heads ng barya. Mas malaking halaga ng barya, mas mataas raw ang chance na pumasa. (Ginawa
ko to! 5 Pesos nilagay ko para wala na finish na!)
* ‘Wag magpagupit ng buhok kapag malapit na ang board exam. (Seriously, I did this. Some believe
that our hair is an extension of nervous system at nasa buhok raw nakasama ‘yung mga nireview mo
so wala namang mawawala kung susubukan.)
* Kapag papasok sa Testing Center at sa Testing Room, kailangan i-apak raw ang KANANG PAA.
(Kasi raw you want to do things RIGHT.)
* Kapag lalabas naman ng Testing Center or Testing Room, unang i-apak ang KALIWANG PAA. (So
that you will LEFT all masalimuot na memories habang nagtetake ne exam. Doon mo maiiwan lahat-
lahat.)
* Magsindi ng PULANG KANDILA para sa RELASYONG FINISH NA. (De charot, kailangan pula na
kandila hindi Pink.)
* Isa pang pamahiin pero parang hindi: Matulog ng 8hrs. (Para hindi ka natetense kinabukasan.
Para pogi/ganda ka kapag pumunta ka ng testing center all eyes on you ang peg dapat.)
* ‘Wag uminom ng mainit na kape or mga inuming maiinit. (Ang mga maiinit na mga inumin ay
nagpapabilis ng motility sa Intestinal Tract. Matatae ka for sure. Drink ICE COLD WATER, yung
nagyeyelo na tubig. Pramis effective!)
* Halikan ang answer sheet bago ipasa sa proctor. (Bawal momol. Bawal yung bumabahang laway.
Kiss or smack for good luck.)
* Eto hindi pamahiin. Magdasal kayo with your classmates sa school or classmates mo sa review
center. Gather around have a prayer meeting, sabay-sabay kayong magpray. Doon mo
mararamdaman ang unity at presence ni God. Doon mararamdaman mo ang iisang goal ng bawat
takers: Ang makapasa ng Board.
Gagalingan natin takers! Good Luck! Fighting! Kakayanin!
GOD My Savior!
Good morning future LPTs! A few days from now you will take the exam that could change the
course of your future so here are some tips:
1. The most important thing to do BEFORE, DURING, AND AFTER THE EXAM is to PRAY! PRAY!
PRAY! Let GOD guide you all the way. He will never let you down. Trust me. I’m a living witness of
HIS power.
2. READ. READ. READ. I don’t think I could emphasize that more. Reading could really make a
difference. Read anything and everything and always read with comprehension. It will give you an
idea or two about differeng topics. Have a dictionary next to you. It would help widen your
vocabulary.
3. Relax before you review. Calm your mind and don’t stress out. It will help you focus once you start
reviewing.
4. Find at least 1 to 2 hours a day to review. Answer the review questions and don’t panic if you get
low scores at first. Review the questions that you got wrong answers and try answering again after a
few days.
5. After reviewing for months and months and months, IT’S TIME TO REST AND RELAX. This will
give your mind some time to calm down before the BIG DAY.
6. ON EXAM DAY…Listen to the proctor. Instructions are given before the exam. Make sure you will
follow everything.
7. Trust me, there is no such thing as being ready when it comes to the actual exams. There will
always be questions that you did not encounter during your review. The important thing is DO NOT
PANIC. Panicking causes mental block.
8. USE YOUR TIME WISELY. Scan all the questions first. This will give you some idea of what’s
ahead.
9. Answer all the questions that you know first. This will give you more time to answer the difficult
ones.
10. Don’t dwell on difficult questions for too long. If you’re not sure yet, leave it and then go back to it
later on. JUST DON’T FORGET TO GO BACK TO IT.
11. Practice the process of elimination.
12. You will be given break times in between the exams. Use this time to relax once again and calm
your nerves a little. I did not open my reviewers during break times since I have the tendency to get
nervous but you may review during your break if you think it would help.
13. After the exam, PRAY once again and thank GOD that you survived the big day. You’ve done
your part, let GOD do the rest.
14. There are three important words that you need to remember after the exam: POSITIVITY,
HOPE, and FAITH. Never ever lose any of those three. They will always attract positive results.
These are just some of the tips that helped me pass the exam in one take. I’m sure there are lots of
other tips that my fellow passers can also give you. GOOD LUCK, FUTURE LPTs!!!
