Plan the Strategy on how you

will study Each topicRecall 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 orreviewer books as your guide?

Memorize formulas?


21/37

A FRIENDLY ADVICEThe test questions are multiple choice type.

Solve the problems carefully and intelligently.

The board examination is not right minus wrong.(ibigsabihin 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.


22/37

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.


23/37

STUDYING TECHNIQUESSelect an ideal place of your choice whereyou can concentrate in studying.

Dont overload your brain with too manyformulas.(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 beforestarting the review.


24/37

If you are not in the mood for studying, relax byreading, or playing a musical instrument, or listeningto your favorite music, then go back to seriousbusiness, 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. (Glaresand shadows may distract your concentration)

AFTER THE EXAMINATION

Once the test is over, put it out ofyour mind.Thank the Lord about it and leaveyour fate in HIM. Start thinkingmore interesting things about yourfuture.


33/37

USING CALCULATOR1. Use a calculator that you are very familiar with. Be

sure you know how to use the functions andspecial features of the model.

2. Remember that you need a scientific calculator. Anon-programmable calculator is required.

NOTE:- Not all problems are easier to solve using

calculator. Sometimes manual calculation is moreprecise and easier

- Remembering common mathematical values(e.g.cos 600 = 0.5, cos 00 =1, = 3.1416, etc) enablesyou to check instantly whether your calculatormalfunctioned or youve pressed the wrong key


34/37

OTHER STRATEGIES IN DEALING

WITH BOARD PROBLEMS1. Read the question first before looking at the answer

choices

2. Use the backdoor strategy if the answer doesntcome to you3. 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.


35/37

Good preparation will give you a better chance topass and will boost your confidence too. YourDepartment, the EBEST office & the whole TIP are

one with your parents dream, for you to become alicensed ECE. Please Dont take the RISK. DONTTAKE THE BOARD EXAM IF YOU ARE NOT READY.
