Board Exam Tips – Criminologists Licensure Exam (CLE) – Success Stories
Featured Story 1: From “Delayed Taker” to Topnotcher
“December talaga gusto ko na magtake ng exam. Hindi na po kakayanin ng oras at kakaunti pa lang ang credentials namin so hindi na siya natuloy.”

Dela Torre shared that the opportunity to have taken the NAPOLCOM exam has revealed some of his improper attitudes on taking the criminology licensure exam sooner.
“Dati inaaway ko yung questions kasi meron talagang questions doon sa mga sample [exams] na grammatically incorrect sa pagkaka-construct ng mga sentences,” he said.
Not only being keen on some grammar issues, but several aspects of his life transformed too, such was his drive to ace the boards with new perspectives.
“Yung nadelay po yung pagtake ko ng exam, ay nabago rin po yung style ko sa pag-answer ng questions and my study habits, yung motivation and mindset sa review. Lahat po yun nag-improve and I am very thankful to God na para siyang nag-iwan ng message sa akin: ‘Wag ka na muna magtake, idelay muna natin yung lisensya para meron kang bonus after.’”
Ranking first out of 13,000 examinees could make one at the top of the moon but Dela Torre did graciously. He kept low his profile, but his determinations, higher.
But what contributed to his achievement was mainly his study habits that were derived from a certain book entitled, “Outsmart the Board Exam” by Rucel Britanico Virata – not a usual book bought at a bookstore, it was given by his girlfriend who is also an engineering board exam passer.
Inspired, he developed a study habit of allotting at least one to two hours of study with at most 15 minutes of rest interval, then back to religious reading and lectures reviewing. Each day, he added more hours until he carried on nonstop review.
“Yung body clock ko parang nasa ibang time zone dahil sa pagrereview. Yung oras ng paggising ko ibang iba na. Yung pagtulog ko parang nasa ibang bansa ako kasi yung oras is masyado ng late,” Dela Torre shared.
He added that he did not focus on one source of review material only. He utilized the internet to check on official websites of law enforcement agencies to have himself familiar with basic principles and concepts. He said all of these greatly helped.
After attending to lectures, he answered sample questions himself and kept incessantly reading of notes.
“Ok naman magmemorize, pero mas mabuti kapag naiintindihan mo kung ano talaga yung ibig sabihin nung mga terms. [Ang] ginawa ko noon is nirelate ko yung mga terms sa mga bagay na interesting sa akin, tapos ginagawan ko ng acronyms, tapos minsan dinodrawing ko yung iba,” he wrote on a Facebook post.
Even though he has solid study habits, Dela Torre believed no one is a hundred percent ready for the exams.
He shard, “Any board exam is unpredictable and no certainty or guarantee na lalabas sa exam ang mga binasa mong kasi nauutakan din po tayo ng mga matatalino nating board of examiners.”
He added that “exams are made that way in order to put a thrill to future professional criminologists, and to select the best of the best examinees who will carry on the work for the next generations.

“Registered Criminologist na po ako 
Nakita ko po itong libro nyo one time dito sa Facebook at nakita ko din po na ginamit ito noon ng isang naging topnotcher din po sa Criminologist Licensure Exam at napabili po ako.
Ang ganda po ng laman nya nung una akala ko po pang engineering na kurso lang po. Nung nabasa ko, natuwa po ako kasi talagang binubuksan nito ang isip mo kung papano mo haharapin ang board exam! #otbe #passtheboardexam #crim
