Completing your degree was the first step in your engineering dreams, becoming a licensed engineer is the next step. Students from some of the best engineering universities in Manila and beyond now spend weeks upon weeks preparing for this big examination. Preparing for this exam requires a rigorous amount of studying and preparation, and some discipline. To help you prepare for the upcoming board exam here are some tips that can help you get ready.

1.   Taking a refresher course

Have an important lesson or topic that you need some intensive reviewing for? Or have a lesson that you have a tough time remembering? If the answer to both question is a yes, then going back to school and taking a refresher course is a good way to help you prepare for your exam. Refresher courses are a great way to familiarize yourself with some of your lessons in college again.

2.   Creating your review schedule

Reviewing for the board exam can be hectic at times, with so many topics and lessons to review, you may end up getting confused on where to start. To prevent the confusion, it is best to make your own review schedule. Having a review schedule makes sure that you are able to review all the important lessons and topics evenly, and ensures that you have the right balance of reviewing and relaxing.

3.   Find the right study place for you

Finding the right place to review is a challenge for most students. Most students look for a nice quiet place that is conducive to learning. Sometimes, nothing beats the comfort of your own home, while other students go to places like libraries and coffee shops for a nice cold place to review for the exam.

4.   Get rid of distractions

One of the most important qualities you need during your examination review period is discipline. Being disciplined means being responsible enough to follow your review schedule and routines without being bothered by the unnecessary distractions. These distractions can be activities like playing sports or video games, or even browsing social media and the internet. Removing yourself from those distractions can help clear your mind, and remain focused on your goal to pass the examination.

5.   Setting your mind

This is perhaps the most important item on this list. Setting your mind into reviewing and passing the board exam is your biggest priority. Having the right mindset would help along the way, as you have the focus, the drive, and the determination to take and pass the board exams.
