How to Pass the Board Exam

I have a question in if i passed in board exam, i’m always looking for a tips for passing board exam or even board exam tips and maybe on how to pass the board exam.

I have known students who skip to file their application form for the first schedule of licensure exam (June) and wait for the next schedule (November) because they think they haven’t got the enough time to review and the feeling that they could not make it. There are some tips I can give on how to blast away your fears and make you pass. First, is to have a reason for passing, a great motivation comes if you have a reason. Basically, you would not try harder if you don’t have a reason to pass. Why would so? Try to think about your family, your friends, your schoolmates and your future during review time, definitely it was a great motivation that can work better but some failed to do so and just gain stress in their life since they didn’t do it in a healthy way. Remember the quotes “all work and no play make Jack a dull boy”. Make sure you have time to relax after a long hours of review. All the systems in our body exhaust especially our brain. Our brain is the primary organ that gives tasks to other body parts. Try to have a break for every topic or every subject you are reviewing. This would make you store all the knowledge you’ve learned.
