Outsmart the Board Exam’s Tips for Board Exam Retakers
- Assess your failure honestly. Where did you fail? Adjust accordingly!
- Treat Board Exam Preparation like Mountain Climbing. The more topics you study, the higher you rise.
- Failure means you need to climb a bit more.
- As a retaker, you are not starting from scratch. You are already partway up the mountain.
- You only need to win once. All your past ‘failures’ will become irrelevant.
- Rest and recover now, but don’t quit.
Tip #1: Assess your Failure
What area did you fail?
- Is it lack of practice? You didn’t solve enough questions.
- Is it study habits? You didn’t have a solid routine.
- Is it environment? You cannot focus at home or because of the dormmates.
Find the root causes. Make an honest assessment. Make adjustments!
Tip #2: Treat Board Exam Preparation like Mountain Climbing.
As discussed in Outsmart the Board Exam, you should treat your preparing for the board exam like climbing a mountain.
The more licensure exam topics you study, the higher you climb the mountain.
The higher you are up the mountain, the better your chance of passing.
You start at the bottom of the mountain when you start your review.
Tip #3: Failure means you need to climb a bit more.
It means that you are part way up the mountain. You still have way to go. You still need to sufficiently study more subjects.
This failure only meant that you haven’t reached your peak yet.
Tip #4: As a retaker, you are not starting from scratch.
The good news: You are not starting from the bottom of the mountain.
Tip #5: Rest and recharge, but don’t quit
You are on the way there if you continue on. Your board exam journey isn’t over.
Rest and recharge now. Continue on the path if you want to succeed.
Tip #6: You only need to win once. All past failures become irrelevant.
