Well, basically from what I experienced, I already pushed myself early on 2012. We started our review classes last April. I did pay a lot of my attention on that review. But around August up to November, I can feel that I'm already burning out. And the worst part is, I got a low score on the Manor preboards.
The faculty was certain not to give me my transcript of records but I asked for another chance - the final coaching.
By December 26th of 2012, I got my transcript and then filed for the board exam on the 28th - whew!



I also prayed that my room mates would also pass the board exam. I'm happy that in this room, number 7, friendships were built here.
I can always say that we're the kind of people who are 'happy-go-lucky'. Some girls on the dormitory would not like to talk to us because we're not the serious type.

• Be grateful for everything. Just say 'thank you' the first thing you wake up in the morning. This actually helps make your day right. Trust me, everything else follows... Positive vibes on the way.
• Play up-beat songs. Don't mind the people around you. If they're feeling the pressure, well let them. Remember, it's your battle against yourself, not with the people around you.
• Eat breakfast. This makes your brain stimulate even better.
• Prayer - it's the most powerful thing in the world!
• Be excited! Instead of feeling nervous, be excited. Just imagine what your life's going to be when you pass.

Those tips really helped me. Thanks to my ever supportive friends! And now I'm gladly to pass it down to my readers.
One of the songs that I always play when I was about to take the exam is Ellie Goulding's song, and just like her song - Anything could happen. So, be positive!

...finally! Now, I can go to the salon and cut my hair!
