2.  Pray for it  (Before, While, and After) In His time &
will, thy will be done that you and together with other
people who will take the board will all pass the exam

 Bring always your inspiration (GOD, Family, Friends,
Loved ones) and your goal (pass or be on the top 10)

TIPS FOR LET

3.  Know the basics
Be familiar again with the basics in Math, English, & Filipino
 It will help you a lot esp. on tricky questions (might look
hard questions but the truth is, it’s not)
STUDYING FOR LET

4.  Choose and get a reasonable study table suited for
you
Set time when, where, and what time you will study.
You can do self-review or attend review classes, I think this
depends on your budget & situation  both are good but on
self-review choose a review material that is up to date, or
borrow materials to those who take the exam before or ask to
those attending review classes (if it’s okay to them  )
Willingness + Heart + Comfortable = Easier to learn, cause if
not you will just be tired and sleepy

5. When having difficulty to understand topic there are already
many ways to easily understand/ learn things like you can call
your friend, do group study, visit a library, inquire to your
teacher, ask a professional, attend seminar, and watch videos
on net or listen to podcasts 
* As for me, I study with music also sometimes in a quiet place
depending on my mood. hihi. Also when studying using
notes/books, I usually re-write what I am studying/reading with
that I can grasps more what I’m studying and another way also
to effectively learn a topic is to watch videos related to your
topic and jot down notes, with this you can also grasps what you
are studying.

6.  Get enough sleep as much as possible 
This is always on most of the tips that I have read before, and now
I’m going to say it also because sleeping is the time where your
body will recuperate from doing tiring activities for that day and
will prepare you for another day 
* As for me, I think being sleepy while studying is the most tiring
part because you have to fight 2 battles, fighting to be awake and
learn what you are studying…. But there are case also that there
will be temptation where you got a good sleep also but still sleepy,
if that happens to you my suggestion to you is pause for a while,
try to exercise, turn up your radio, listen to lively music, eat (but
just those that will not trigger your sleepiness  ) and the best is
go back or look up to the first 2 tips! 

7.  Enjoy it! 
because it is both a privilege and blessing to study and learn
these things, remember there are many people out there
wishing to do what you are doing or be in the same place as
you :) but not given a chance because of some reasons. It is
easier also to study when you are enjoying what you are doing


8.  It’s study well not study hard 
Don’t overwork yourself, it’s important also as a whole to find
time and relax  for a while do what you like watch your
favourite movie or drama (note: just 1-3 episodes for drama.
hehe) hangout with friends, or eat  depending on you, which
you prefer. Just remember, do it moderately 
Be familiar with important concepts, memorize by heart  try
not to focus on memorizing things, just be familiar and get the
essence of the topic 

9.  Don’t cram as much as possible and as much as you
can in studying and preparing the things you need for
the exam
You know what I mean  It will make your heart, mind, soul at
peace for the exam 
 Feeling tired?
Just go back to the first 2 tips  with that you will be always
be refreshed and motivated 

10.  Continue to pray for it  and to others who will take
the LET also 
BEFORE, WHILE, AFTER LET

11.  If you think your place is very far from your assigned school
where you will be taking the exam, as soon as possible look for a
place (hotel, apartment, relative/friend’s house) near to the
place where you will take the exam because like me, malayo
kami sa place kung saan ginaganap ang LET, and we don’t
secure a place way before the exam, that’s why nung a day
before the exam we find it difficult to look for place where we
will stay/where we will sleep because most of the hotels near
the schools where LET would be taking place are fully-booked
already and some are expensive na… that’s why learn from it 
so you won’t find same problem like us… still THANK GOD
because he provided us a place, the tricycle driver who drives to
us in going to hotels to look for a place, suggested that He knows
someone na meron apartment na bahay, talaga pina pa rentahan
yun sa mga nag-tatake ng board exam… and it’s not that far
away from our assigned school, GOD is indeed great provider
right? 

12.  Prepare your things needed on the day of exam like:
1. NOA (Notice of Admission) Very Important!
2. 2 sharpened pencils (Mongol 2)
3. Sharpener and eraser
4. Ballpen (ordinary, not sign pen or gel pen)
5. White polo shirt, pants, shoes
6. Food (snacks & lunch) *when drinking, avoid not to spill
water on answer sheet*
7. White and brown envelope (where you will put your things
like pencil, eraser etc.)
8. SMILE  GOD is with you! Psalm 118:24! 

13.  Visit the school where you will take the exam, you that you
will not cram on finding your exam. Room on the day of LET
exam (as for us, we visit the school a day before let or for sure
you can visit it 2 days before exam)
 Don’t cram/force yourself to study days before the exam it
might just confuse you, making your brain overloaded with
information, but use it to prepare yourself, Pray, relax so that
you will be ready and refresh to face the whole day of
answering the exam 

14.  Eat carefully, eat food that will not make your stomach feel
bad, so that you will not have problem on going on and off the
cr 
 Do your necessities before entering the room like going to the
CR and also double check your things so that you will not
forget the things that you need 
 Be time conscious  slowly but surely 

15.  Do elimination method  when answering the question you
don’t understand or don’t know the answer, carefully and
quickly, eliminate obvious choices that is not related to the
question and feel and focus on answers that is applicable and
nearest to the question being ask 
 There will be questions that’s not on your review material so
for this case go back to elimination method 

16.  In my case, there are few times that my answer for ex. In no. 3 I
accidentally write my answer on no. 4, check what no. you are
answering and also check the no. where you will put the answer
 as possible avoid erasures  so that your paper will be neat
and clean 
 Before passing the paper when you are finished, always check
the information needed if your answer it correctly and don’t
leave a number unanswered 
 This is between you and God  if at some situation you will be
hearing comments from other people that are not true, just keep
going, they don’t know what you have gone through, they don’t
know what they are talking about so be patient & just
understand them 

17. “Above all that I have mentioned (whether
based on experience or from other people)
whether we have done everything we could, do
and prepare everything, how much ready we
are, it’s all after all in the end on the will and
hands of all knowing, in-control, and ever
present GOD <3 on perfect time and wonderful
plan for you and for everyone” 

18. As for my story, before I took Civil Service exam (I
was encouraged by one of my relative) 2 times and I was
not able to pass, and there crying moments came and
also because of that I have fear (what others will say) ,
whatifs (doubts to myself), but little did I know that
those experiences from taking and not passing the CS
exam 2 times will be the instrument that GOD will be
using for me to learn and grow from (prepare, pray and
trust Him). Then I graduated college and at first I plan to
take the board (LET) this coming March 2018, last year
July I was thinking & kind of hesitant & pressure if I will
or not file for Sept.

19.  LET exam because some people are saying that take the board
“habang fresh pa ang mga pinag-aralan” and I was like “Di
naman yan sa kung fresh or yan, nasa sayo nalang yun, kung
pano ka mag-aral & ma absorb yung mga pinag-aralan mo” and
also at that time I’m taking my first sem. in my Master’s degree,
and I’m handling ALS in our barangay, and I don’t enroll review
classes because at first talaga, my mindset is that I will be taking
the board this March.
 Days passed and 2 or 3 days before the end of filing, I was
thinking “sayang” if I will not try/ take the chance to take the
exam last Sept. so then I started to prepare the things I need for
filling (online & all) Thank God I have my brother in Christ who
accompany me all the way, at that day thinking that I have
already the docs I need, little did I know that I don’t have pala
my NSO Birth Cert.!

20.  I am kind of scared/worried because I only have days and still I need
to go to PSA, and there are a lot of people getting docs in PSA, and
thinking that my mama would scold me for this (kaya always double
CHECK your things as soon as possible  ) so we have to be in PSA
the very early next morning to get my NSO BC asap because we are
still going to PRC in our region and it’s 3 – 4 hours until we get
there and we need to be early at PRC “kasi ang haba ng pilaaa”
because the filling is about to end, so after getting my NSO and
“deretso” going to PRC, we reached the PRC before 12 in the
afternoon and as expected “mahaba na ang pila” Thank God I have
my mama to accompany me, while waiting “nagsalitan kami ng
mama ko” to save the line and eat for lunch… time passes by, meet
and talk with other people who has the same purpose as me, and
after almost 4 or 5 hours of waiting, before 5pm I was able to file
and now qualified to take the LET, THANK GOD! Esp. there’s no
problem with my papers 

21.  After the filing, months came where there is really a need na to study, the
“studying for LET slides” are based on my experiences while studying for
LET at that time  and Sept. 23 when we arrived on the city where our
assigned school is, we are 3 classmates with my mama and my other
classmates mama  we first look where is our assigned school after that
we start looking for a place we will stay to sleep (story slide 11 ) and
after reaching the apartment, take some rest, me and my classmates stroll
in a mall there, and now while strolling I told my classmates, I don’t have
a white polo short, only white blouse (bc I don’t mind na to buy a new polo
shirt, medyo kuripot me strikes! hihi. But it’s not good learn from it ) I
thought it’s okay lang naman, but my other classmate told me “baka strict
ang maging proctor ko”, and I was like “Oo nga, baka that will be the only
reason na I can’t take the exam because I’m not waering the proper attire,
and with that we start looking for a polo shirt, I was really desperate na,
na kahit alam ko na wala polo shirt doon nagta tanong pa din ako  I’m
really desperate na kasi hapon na and when asking sa mga stores, it’s
either out-of-stock, maliit sakin ag size, at mahaaal lalo na sa mga mall.
huhu. But GOD is really great  after looking in diff. stores we saw this
parti. Mall across Pedestrian, and it’s kinda our las store na titingnan, and
wow, Thank GOD! Finally! I found already a polo shirt that fits to me and
okay sa budget  wooooh! Buti nalang 

22.  Sept. 24 came, tadadadaaaan… the day for the people have been
waiting for, we wake up very early, prepare prepare and all, after
that when I have my time already, I have na my quiet time, for
that day I was going to read na my Chapter for the day: John 11
 and while reading wow GOD gave me this promise, assurance,
and hope on John 11:22 “I know that whatever you ask of GOD,
GOD will give you” and I was like aw. and GOD did just spoke to
me and that verse is really special because on that day of taking
the LET and GOD will speak to you like that, that assurance, I’m
really blessed <3 my mama and my classmate’s mama send us to
our assigned school, and when they left, we still have time we go
to 711, to kill the reaming time and after that before entering
the school, we pause, take a sit on the near park and my other
classmate lead the prayer, and one thing na nagstruck sakin dun
while praying aside praying sa thanksgiving sa provision, sa will
and time ni GOD is yung pag pray nya sa “Favor ni GOD saamin”
na kahit ano pa man is kay GOD talaga ang final judgement

23.  If He will find favor saamin, and sa Will and Time nya, so after
nun we enter na the school, look for our names & respective
room, while waiting I have come to talk to other people, each
has story for taking the LET, there is even a guy, he said he is a
graduate of BS Chem. and work in I think it’s in Dubai, but he go
back here, took TCP, he said he is kinda tired of his job there
because it’s parang routine, na hindi na siguro nya n eenjoy, and
kaya siguro yun and ang natatandaan ko is yung gusto nya sbhan
is and teaching daw kasi iba, mas challenging, you’ll meet diff.
people diff. ang mga story and yan. The day of the LET has
passed, and it’s already I think 5 or past five na kami natapos
and waited for my other classmate sa labas nang school, before
going home, me and my mama take a snack and habang
kukamakain praying, tapos na ang exam, and LORD kayo na po
bahala in your time & will.

24.  Days, weeks na nagpassed after LET, I try to pray for the result
everyday, talking to GOD personally, either while during quiet
time, sitting down with Him, while in jeep, washing dishes, or
even a whisper in my mind na “Lord in your time & will sa result,
makapasa kami”, my bargain pa nga ako n kahit ano rating basta
pag lumabas ang result andun yung name ko, kahit maka kuha
ako nang 75%, para hindi na ako umulit, dahil hindi lang ako ang
ngsacrifice or struggle lalo na to study, pat na din yung mama ko
na all the way sa LET journey ko is nandyn sya… and also while
waiting, I have experienced na may times na I have disobediences
kay GOD, and I was thinking what if dahil nagawa ko yun baka
hindi ako makapasa, and my nabasa din kasi ako sa internet and
meron din verse na “kung ano tinanim mo, yun din aanihin mo”
whatif din ako mkpasa dahil not enough yung pinag aralan ko,
nagka roon din ng fear saakin, but throughout my waiting s
result, na kahit my disobediences ako still GOD is there,
speaking, giving me wonderful promises to hold on to and look
on to (slide 27 )

25.  Then Nov. 27 came, where the result would come out, and on that day
I was having diff. emotions na din, my heartbeat is beating faster
whenever naiisip ko na lalabas ngayong araw ang result, and I was at
work at that time, and even nga nagkamali ako sa work, nalito ako
nun sa pinagawa saakin, di ako nagpahalata at that time na
nagkamali ako dahil my iniisip ako, still go pa rin, and it’s hapon na
din wala pa rin, still praying pa din ako all throughout, after ko
tingnan yung website s result, nanood muna ako ng “A love so
beautiful, ep. 12 n siguro ako nun”  (wala na naman na ginagawa s
work) while watching ng ring yung telepono, sinagot ko and sabi nung
ate ko sa dati office na pinasukan ko “(My name), Congrats!” and I
was like woah, “Talaga ate!?” priceless yung moment yun, Thank
GOD!!! Nbigla din ako dahil kk check ko lng din, hindi ko natandaan
kung ntpos ko yun ep. tpos tumawag saakin si ate and yun ng
cocongrats n sya, and dali-dali din ako tumakbo papunta sa office
nila, and habang tumakbo (mabilis na medyo mahaba na ang steps
nang takbo ko nun, na mabilis ang heartbeat) grbe really Thankful
tlaga, THANK GOD talaga!!! And nung pgpasok ko, pumunta ako kay
ate, pgkita ko sa comp. andun talaga pangalan ko and talon talon na
ako, hindi ko na malaman emotion ko, natutuwa napapaiyak ako
noon. Again, THANK GOD!!!

26.  Ngayon, nakuha ko na yung I.d ko and nakahabol din para sa ranking
(another story ulit, Thank God! )
 With this journey I have known GOD as indeed an amazing and
wonderful GOD, faithful to His promises, and his wonderful Timing
(yung story ko failing 2x CS exam) 
 And gusto ko lang po sabihin na sa mga mistakes ko po sa LET journey
ko, kaya ibinahagi ko ito journey ko para hindi nya m commit, and learn
from it, and baka at some point you may want or hindi niyo n experience
ito n experience ko lalo na yung encounter with GOD, I would like to say
okay lang yun, diba iba-iba yung story natin, maybe may iba way din si
GOD pra m encounter mo sya and I’m sure mas exciting and mas
makikilala mo sya sa journey nyo along the way, and don’t forget to
share it din sa iba, kung my n experience/ learnings din ikaw sa LET
journey mo na sa tingin mo wala dito, try to use kung ano medium and
ayon sa gusto mo para ma ishare mo din sa iba  sure GOD will use you
and definely makaka tulong sa iba  GOD bless us all!

27. These are the wonderful promises that God gave to me during my LET journey
(while praying for it), the ones I’m holding on to  and hopefully to you as well 
maybe also GOD will reveal other promises to you aside from what I am going to
mention 
Even there was no reason for hope, Abraham kept hoping. He was fully convinced
that GOD is able to do whatever He promises. Romans 4:18, NLT
“And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified
in my name. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it”. John
14:13-14, NIV
“For I know the plans I have for you”, declares the Lord, “Plans to prosper you
and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and future.” Jeremiah 29:11
I know that whatever you ask of GOD, GOD will give you. John 11:22
“See, I lay in Zion a stone that causes people to stumble and a rock that makes
them fall, and the one who believes in him will never be put to shame .” Romans
9:33 NIV
For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To HIM be the Glory
Forever. Romans 11:36
GOD WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU EMPTY 

28. Each of us has their story, different from each other
but different in way that could bless and help other
people who might be experiencing same situation as
you and para hindi na pag-daanan ng iba (esp. difficult
ang situation) ang pinag-daanan mo 
“Kung gaano ka laki ang kaba ganon din and pag-asa
sa kanya”  *quote ctto*
REMINDER: “ALWAYS PRAY (BEFORE, WHILE,
ESP. AFTER) AND BE THANKFUL, EITHER YOU
PASS OR NOT” 

29. In case you were not able to pass the exam, GOD is not yet
finished, maybe He wants you to seek Him more and learn from
what you have experienced, and like what my Sister in Christ
told me during their prayer time before LET, either you pass or
not “still di mababawasan or magbabago ang tingin or ang
pagvalue ni GOD sayo” “TRUST HIM”, it’s a matter on His time &
will  your faith, attitude, heart, and motives matters also,
before while and after let  and if you pass  remember to
Thank Him because it’s all from Him (Romans 11:36) and be
Humble and share your let journey with God to others so that
they will also know God and be blessed and inspired 

30. ABOVE ALL, TO GOD
BE ALL THE
GLORY!!!
#ROMANS11:36 

31. Thanks for reading! 
Have a nice day! 
God bless us all! 
