2. Know your weak and strong subjects/classes
Allot a few hours each day or each week to review the lessons
for classes you did well when you were still in college. Enjoy
this review tome so you can easily remember what you are
learning.
3. Allot more time, however, on classes you were weak in.Well,
at least if you are weak in mathematics for example, make
sure you don’t miss reviewing the concepts that will be
tested in the General Math part of the licensure exam.
It will be easy to find out your areas of weaknesses. Check the
grades in your transcript or assess your self which among the
classes you took don’t remember much about.
4. Understanding the major theories, concepts and techniques
in Professional Education Subjects.
Understanding the theories and concepts by heart will allow
you to answer questions that are written to confuse you.
There are times that you have to choose which among the
situations on the choices will be logical based on theories or
concepts mentioned or implied in the question.
5. Strive HardTo ImproveYourAnalytical Skills onAnswering
After you reviewed the theories and concepts, you should test
your understanding by differentiating and explaining these in
your own words.While reviewing, rephrase ideas and think
of actual applications.
7. Prepare EverythingYou Need ForThe Exam
Make sure you have the test guidelines, which included the
things you need to bring for the exam.
Also check if the calculator you plan to bring for the exam is in
PRC’s list of allowed calculators. If not, buy or borrow a
calculator that has a model listed there. If you don’t want to
buy a new one, make sure you have a non-programmable
calculator
8. But don’t take my word on this because I wasn’t
Sure if other proctors had allowed calculators not in the list.
Although my friend said she didn’t even check the list and
just grabbed a basic calculator on the exam day. Proctors
check each calculator before the exam starts.
9. Get Enough Sleep BeforeThe Exam
Make sure you don’t feel drowsy while taking the exam so you
have enough time to answer all the test questions.You don’t
want to fail because you didn’t have enough sleep the night
before.
10. Avoid erasures, or make the erasure clean at least, and of
course, shade it properly.
Erasures could make a bad score. So before you shade it, make
sure you are shading the right answer, or at least it is your
final answer. If you need to erase it, make sure it is clean. But
still don’t think it is a good idea.
11. So, before the exam day, try the eraser you plan to bring. On
a white paper, or a semi-cardboard white paper, write
something on it with the pencil you plan to bring and erase
this writing with this eraser. If the eraser erases cleanly your
writing, then you are good.
12. Don’t shade it beyond the box. Don’t shade it heavily too.
13. Skip Questions you aren’t sure and go back to them later on.
There are some questions that no matter how well you
prepared for the exam, you will have no idea what the answer
is or it will take you a lot of time to answer it. If you can
come across to questions like these skip the questions first.
Answered questions that you know as much as you can then
go back to the questions you skipped.
14. Make a very very educated guess at this point when you
really can’t figure the right one out. Or follow your instinct.
15. Bring with you your common sense.
Most of the time, you haven’t reviewed whatever appears on
the real exam.What will help you answer the exam are your
basic understanding of the topics and your analytical skill.
Don’t overdo it through because you might miss the right
answer.
