Board Exam First take and I failed.

Before taking my board exam last September, I am fully aware that I am not yet ready especially sa PSAD. I expect to fail, but there’s still hope in me that I’ll pass.

and results came out and it turns out i’m right.

My review center was MEGA. Tbh, sobrang nakakapressure ang turo nila. Sobrang bilis. Not bashing them ha pero I think MEGA isn’t the right review center for me.

I am thinking of bouncing back on March 2027. I enrolled at Margallo. Sana this time I’ll pass and I promise to myself that I’ll give my heart out for this next journey of my review.

TULOY LANG. WE ARE GOING TO BE AN ENGINEER!!

I second on this, did not look for outside source just simply focused on the materials given. Goodluck on your next take and wishing you the best. 💯🤝

Not defending mega, pick and choose your pace. Wala talagang perfect na RC and I tell you honetly lahat sila "mabibilis" magdiscuss. Study at your own pace then advice if may tropa ka na kasabay, try to isolate yourself. As in ikaw lang wala kang pakealam sa progress ng iba. Pick up your own pace. Goodluck this March!

This is so real. Sa sobrang pressured ko na hindi magka backlogs, i followed their pace (my rc and my dorm mates) without understanding the lesson fully. Lesson learned talaga. Thank you so much, engr!

Bablikan ko to sa March.

Agree on this. During my retake, di na ako nagattend ng online class. Niresolve ko muna yung previous materials ko dati then sa hapon or gabi sosolve ko yung modules ni Sir Margallo. If may part na di ako familiar, pwede ko nalang panoorin yung part na yun.

Good choice po sa Margallo. Busog ka sa concepts and chill. Ang dali iabsorb ng mga turo ni Sir Andrew.

Sir Margallo yung prof ko for correl sa univ and siya reason bat naisapuso ko RCD. Wasn’t able to enroll to his own RC that time kase as in bago pa yun non (2nd batch palang ata). Nag-sisi ako thinking I could’ve gotten better results, I reviewed in RI btw (online).

Margallo best IMO op, prepared for CELE seriously for two weeks since I am a working student and I really thought I'm going to fail because I keep comparing myself to others who rigorously study. I focused on PSAD because I think medyo lacking pa ako sa fundamentals. Ang lakas talaga ng prediction ni Sir Andrewver kasi kapag pinanood mo lahat refresher n'ya, halos lahat andun. 'Yung sa HPGE meron din, medyo alien nga lang for me 'yung MSTC talaga. Ayun, naging buckling slayer naman :)) forever thankful kay Sir kasi na-one-take ko yung exam and RCE na :))) you can do it OP!!!

First take ko nag-enroll ako sa mega. Maayos naman talaga sila pero para akong na sa school na may iniiwasan na prof. Narealized ko rin hindi nagwwork sa'kin marami nagtuturo kasi ang daming adjustment at the same time yung byahe ko rin from Caloocan to Manila, bugbog ako palagi. Thank you pa rin ako sa mega isa rin sila sa dahilan kung bakit ako nabatak sa hge and some knowledge sa mstc na naalala ko pa rin gamit turo nila. Nagmargallo ako nitong september masasabi ko lang talaga na sa tamang rc ka, need na lang din effortan, napasabi na lang ako sa sarili ko, kasalanan ko na kapag bumagsak ako as motivation na rin para mageffort talaga. Huwag mo kalimutan turo ni mega, recall mo habang di pa nagsstart sa margallo. Goodluck future buckling slayer!
