43. REVIEW TECHNIQUE

44. Go back to
the basics

45. Organized
your review
materials

46. Regularly attend your
review session

47. A glass of Water....
Whether a glass is half-full or half-empty, depends on the attitude of the person
looking at it.

48. Be optimistic and avoid
pessimistic people, they are
infectious.

49. •
Manage your time and
learn to prioritize.
Balance all your

balance set of
priorities leads to a
sound mind and
pleasant personality.

50. Determine the
area of
concentration in
the board exam

51. Take down notes.
Write down
important
terminology

52. Read The lesson beforehand
and sum up and review the
lecture at the end of session.

53. Study during day
time to condition
your mind in taking
exams.

54. Your foundation is one of
the important aspects in
passing the board exam.

55. Be
humble,
ask for
guidance
-Remember that
the more you
know, the more
you do not
know…

56. -Take brief breaks
to relieve mental
exhaustion

57. • Remember that efficient and effective
learning does not necessary depends on
the amount of time devoted to study.
• Your degree of concentration determines
the quality of your completed work.
• Concentration is focusing your mind, it
gives you control over yourself and
environment.

58. - Good listening demands concentration
and active mental participation.
- There is a difference between hearing
and listening.
- Read and think aloud in your mind, ask
yourself questions in the subject matter
and write down the answer. Take down
notes while reading or listening.

59. - Repetition makes memories and later mastery
- Do not try to read, do not try to understand
but try to master the subject of review
materials
- Learn the basic concepts and definitions
- Integrate the information across the subject
- Apply and teach the concepts
- Spend more time on your weak points
(subject) rather than on your strong points.

60. Importance of Planning
• Plan your work and work
your plan, for failure to
plan is just like planning
to fail.
• If the plan doesn’t work,
change the plan but not
the goal.

62. SETTING YOUR GOAL
• The first and most important tip that I would give
you is SET YOUR GOAL.
• Whether you just want to pass and get a license,
or maybe land a place among the top 10, or
probably get a grade of 90+ on the most dreaded
subject, it helps if you have direction.
• The more specific your goal is the better.
• Try to write it on paper and feel committed to it.
• Now in order for you to work on that goal, you
must have the RIGHT MOTIVATION.

64. Right Motivation
• This is the second and equally important tip.
• Your drive in achieving your goal
• When you are motivated, you feel like you can
do anything.
• The board examination, just like any other
sport or competition, is all about how you
prepare for a fight
• You are your own enemy.

65. Goal of Presentation
To provide students with strategies on how to prepare for exams
and how to strategically answer multiple choice questions.

66. Taking Multiple Choice Exams
• Studying for a multiple choice exam requires a
special method of preparation distinctly
different from an essay exam.
• Multiple choice exams ask a student to
recognize a correct answer among a set of
options that include 3 or 4 wrong answers
(called distracters ), rather than asking the
student to produce a correct answer entirely
from his/her own mind.

67. • For many reasons, students commonly consider
multiple choice exams easier than essay exams.
Perhaps the most obvious reasons are that:
• The correct answer is guaranteed to be among
the possible responses. A student can score
points with a lucky guess.
• Many multiple choice exams tend to emphasize
basic definitions or simple comparisons, rather
than asking students to analyze new information
or apply theories to new situations.
• Because multiple choice exams usually contain
many more questions than essay exams, each
question has a lower point value and thus offers
less risk.

68. • Despite these factors, however, multiple choice exams
can actually be very difficult and are in this course.
Consider that:
• Because multiple choice exams contain many
questions, they force students to be familiar with a
much broader range of material than essay exams do.
• Multiple choice exams also usually expect students to
have a greater familiarity with details such as specific
dates, names, or vocabulary than most essay exams do.
Students cannot easily "bluff" on a multiple choice
exam.
• Finally, because it is much more difficult for a teacher
to write good multiple choice questions than to design
essay questions, students often face higher risks due to
unintended ambiguity.

69. Facts About Multiple Choice Questions
(MCQs)
• Most commonly used objective test question.
• Consists of two (2) parts:
– Stem (statement or question)
– Answer Choices (known as distractors or foils)
• Multiple choice questions assess
– Memory of facts, details and/or relationships
– Ability to reason (K-Type)
• Synthesis Analysis Application
• Two rules to remember when taking multiple choice
questions.
– Budget Time Wisely
– Relax and Don’t Panic!

90. STRATEGIES/ REMINDERS
DURING THE ACTUAL
BOARD EXAMINATION:

91. Avoid eagerness, rushing
and over confidence

92. •Read first the
entire question
before your answer.
•(Concentrate first
and analyze)
-Follow the golden rule.
“read the questions
carefully, after reading the
questions, read all the
suggested answer, and then
choose your answer

94. - Avoid eagerness, cramming and over
confidence
- Read first the entire question before your
answer. (Concentrate first and analyze)
- Follow the golden rule. “read the questions
carefully, after reading the questions, read all
the suggested answer, and then choose your
answer
- Identify/differentiate the question from facts

95. - Use your allotted time wisely; you have enough time,
first in last out.
- Do not questioned the question; you are there to answer
the question.
- Look for key words in the question. The relationship of
the answer to the question.
- Do not erase your answer.
- Do not answer directly to the answer sheet. Use the
questionnaire. Be careful in transferring your answer.
- If you do not know the answer, atleast you must
know how to answer through the Process of
Elimination.
- This is just your final option if you do not know the
answer.

96. Multiple Choice Questions
• If you do not understand the directions, ask for
help.
• Read the question. Circle or underline any key
words.
• Try to answer a question before looking at the
choices. If your answer is there, that’s a good
sign!
• Mark questions that you can’t answer &
continue working. Save time and return to the
skipped questions, even if it is simply to mark a
guess.

97. Pace Yourself
• Don’t spend too much time on any one
question. Do your best and then move
on.
• If you are completely unsure, skip it, but
be sure to go back.

98. Multiple Choice Questions
• Do not change your answers unless you
are very certain that your first answer
choice is wrong.
• Try to answer every question. Make the
most intelligent guess you can.

99. The Process of Elimination
• After you have been through all of the
questions once, go back and find questions
you have some knowledge about and
eliminate choices that you know are
incorrect.
I know C isn’t
the answer!

100. The Process of Elimination
• When you are unsure of an answer, try to
eliminate as many answers as possible.
Eliminating one or more choices increases
your odds!
• If you can eliminate two wrong answers,
your chance of choosing the right answer
is greater.

101. Answering Questions
• Don't guess blindly. If you have time to
think about the best answer choice, make
it! Don’t answer “B” because it’s your
favorite letter.
• Please don’t choose “C” because it’s a cute
letter. Answer wisely.

102. SAMPLEX
• In case there is massive loss of blood between
man and woman. Who among them last
longer?
• A. Man C. Same
• B. Woman D. Any of these

103. Explanation
• Males usually have about 5.5 litres and females
usually have about 3.5 litres or so. These are just
rough averages but blood volume varies from
person to person.
• The reasons are quite straightforward: males are
generally larger than females and, so, need more
blood due to their larger mass and volume;
females menstruate which loses a small, but not
insignificant, amount of blood every month; and
teststerone is theorised to increase erythrocyte
production

104. Key Words
• Find key words or phrases in the
question that will help you choose
