I will be talking to my own point of view. To tell you frankly, hindi ako graduate ng isang exclusive and/or expensive university. I have spent 5 1/2 years in college (dahil marami din akong bagsak), and i didn't graduate with flying colors. I'm just a common student, or maybe worse. But I am surprised that I "hit the nail with one swing of the hammer." I'll tell you why.
Well hindi ako against sa mga pamahiin about sa mga board exam (babaliin ang pencil after exams, magsuot ng red, pabless ng mga envelop, lapis, calcu, etc.), pero I didn't actually clung to those beliefs. Eto lang tips ko:
1. Relax. Ang unang panlaban ng isang examinee sa isang stressful exam ay relaxation to help you concentrate.
2. Mag-aral lang kung kelan nasa mood. Don't force yourself to ingest knowledge when you don't want to. Kaya nga niluluwa ni baby yung food nya kase hinde nya gusto. Gusto mo iluwa din ng utak mo yung pinagaralan mo??
3. ...Pero pag nag-aaral na, iwas distractions na. Yan na nga yung "break" mo e, kagatin mo na. Fight any kind of distractions kung palagay mo paparating na yun...kung anuman yun.
4. Avoid cramming. Kelan pa umubra ang short term memory sa long term? You were given 4-5 years of study (kahit babagsakin ka pa during those days). Mabuti nga at nag-college ka para review na lang gagawin mo before the exam. Huwag nang mag-aral the days before exam. It will only develop stress, tension, at puyat.
5. Pray. I advice you to make at least one devotion through the whole review/preparation period, be it Baclaran, St. Jude, Quiapo, or other novena you could go to. Malaking bagay 'to, since it will help you relax na din, and have something (or someone) to confide with, spiritually. I experienced how treacherous my review days were, and this is a good way to have a stable mind. Anti-negative aura din kumbaga.
6. Have a firm mindset. Ako, during my review hindi ko na lang iniisip yung mangyayare pag bumagsak ako. Hindi ko din naman ineexpect na papasa ako. I just always think na this will be a good journey for me, pasa man o bagsak. ( and it was! I learned to be indepedent. Nice!)
Sa board exams, walang magna, suma or cum laude. Lahat pantay-pantay. Equal opportunity para sa lahat. Anyway, lisensya pa lang naman yan, ang totoong success e kapag nagamit mo na talaga yang lisensya mong yan.
To all board exam takers, good luck and remember, "velle est posse!" (literally "To be willing is to be able" that also means "If there's a will, there's a way.")
