Beating Board Exam Blues

Beating Board Exam Blues is really tough! I came across several blogs about failing the board exams (Link 1, Link 2, Link 3, and Link 4) but I don't have an inclination to take the least favorable view or even expecting the worst possible outcome.

I'm also reading ahead, blogs about passing the grandest and most-celebrated examination in their life! Because, we Filipinos are traditionally much concern of the licensure examination results. I wonder how do other nationalities treat or deal with these exams. How would they feel over the results if it's favorable or not?

I already started compiling some ece review materials and it gains me much confidence everyday because I'm planning to take the ECE Board Licensure Exams later this year. Also, with the help of review center like EXCEL, damn! reviewing for almost 4 hours is really tiresome. But big thanks to their respective reviewers they really know how to handle it by having fun with us like cracking green jokes while on class. Glad that I chose the right review center for me.

So how do I hold on to something that seems so unreachable? Right now, I am faced with these choices: A.) I will pass the board but still be the 'dakilang tambay' that I am now. B.) I may fail but work in a good company. C.) Or I may fail and not be employed at all. D.) I will pass the board and work with a good salary. In this scenario, I have a 25% chance of making the right choice. Quite high as it may seem. But to double check, still, the possibilities are endless. I can stop reviewing now and take the boards in October or forget about the board exams altogether. As the number of possible outcomes increase, my chance of making the right decision seem to diminish.

Ralph and my twin brother Oliver, I know we can do this with the divine help intervention. Am I just too emotional? hehe... Hope, I can still managed my tasks in updating this blog! To my mentors, colleagues, blogmates, plurkmates, offline and online friends thanks for all your words of wisdom, support and inspirations. I acted that I already passed! haha...

Normally students would act like this.

You know how pretty hard our board exam is? We must obtain a passing rate of at least 70% to each four subjects! And addition to that the controversy still surrounds the ece board exam results last March 2009.

" There is a new coverage for the ECE Board Exam. It is now divided into four Parts. Twenty Percent (20 %) General Engineering, Twenty Percent (20 %) Mathematics, Thirty Percent (30 %) Electronics, and Thirty Percent (30 %) Communication. General Engineering is comprised of all the minor engineering subjects like Chemistry. In addition to that, it is said that if we fail any of these, examiners must retake the exam even if they have scored a passing mark if all of these were to be averaged. It is stated in Section 16 of R.A. 9292, released April 17, 2004, that a candidate who obtains a passing rating in the majority of the subjects but obtains a rating in the other subject/s below seventy percent (70%) but not lower than sixty percent (60%), shall be allowed to take one removal examination on the subject/s where he/she failed to obtain the passing rating. "

But let me tell you this: I have never felt this scared in my whole life! sigh. (;-_-) but still I believe in Que Sera Sera (Whatever will be, will be). Wish us luck!
