Tips to Pass the ECE Exam
Do you want some tips to help you pass the ECE exam?
Without a doubt, passing the ECE Licensure Exam requires tons of preparation, hard work, persistence, and determination. You will surely do your part. You will study long hours, read a lot of books, and answer hundreds of pages of reviewers.
But do you want to hear useful tips, this time straight from those who already passed the Electronics Engineering boards? Here’s our collection of the best insights and tips from ECE passers and topnotchers themselves!
Check out and adopt the following tips which we compiled from FoodAndWanderlust.
Tip #1: Humanap ng MOTIVATION.
Para sakin, ang greatest motivation is your parents. Ayaw mo bang makita ang parents mo na mas lalong maging proud dahil may anak na silang Licensed Engineer?
Tip #2: Pumili ng REVIEW CENTER.
Wag magpapadala sa mga early bird promo at salestalk. Yayain mo mga kaibigan mo, at magikot sa mga RCs. I-observe mo yung environment, i-check yung schedule at tanungin ang mga materials o kung ano man na sa tingin mo eh makakaapekto sa pagaral at focus mo sa klase.
Pag naikot mo na yung iba’t ibang RC, i-evaluate at saka magdecide.
Tip #3: Prepare your MATERIALS.
Bago ka palang magstart ng review,mas maganda kung nabili mo na yung mga materials at references na gagamitin mo.
Nung time ko (Oct 2015), eto yung mga binili kong libro, mostly sa Recto para mura.
- MATH – Gillesania Vol 1 and 2 (Di ko nagalaw Vol 2 hahaha!)
- ELECS – Boylestad, Gibilisco, PERC’s Villamor (Di ko nagamit Boylestad. Gibilisco, mga unang part lang tapos puro chapter exams na, Villamor nakadalawang ulit ako)
- GEAS – EDGE’s Geas book
- EST – Tomasi, Frenzel, EXCEL’s EST Problems book (Syempre di ko rin natapos Tomasi, napakapal! Nalimutan ko title nung sa Excel, basta yung puro problems lang.)
Baka magtaka kayo bakit ang daming RC na nabanggit diyan. Hahaha isa lang dyan yung RC ko. Nakibili lang ako ng libro galing sa iba kasi sa tingin ko yun ang makakatulong sakin. Kayo ang bahala sa mga references na gusto niyo.
Tip #4: Alamin mo yung effective na STUDY HABIT para sayo.
Sa mga unang buwan ng pagrereview, magexperiment. Effective ba sayo yung magreview pagkagising na pagkagising? O sa gabi at magpuyat? Sa study table ba o kama? May background music o wala? Pag na determine mo na kung ano yung effective na style ng pagaaral para sayo, yun na yung gawin mong habit.
Wag rin makigaya ng study habit sa matatalino mong kaklase kung hindi naman yun ang effective sayo. Oo sige, itry mo rin at baka yun ang makatulong sayo. Pero kung hindi naman effective, wag nang ipilit.
Tip #5: Dapat maging MADISKARTE ka.
Kung kapareho ko kayong tamad magbasa ng academic books, magsagot ng mga MCQ o yung mga chapter exams ng mga libro. Lalong lalo na para sa ELECS at EST. Villamor, Malvino, Kennedy, Frenzel etc. Nakakatulong yan para sa mga objectives na tanong. Para sa mga formula o ibang kelangan imemorize, gumawa ng mnemonics o kwento para madali matandaan.
Syempre sa MATH at GEAS, gawin mo nang habit yung magsolve everyday. Simulan mo sa madadaling tanong, para hindi ka kaagad madiscourage magaral.
Tip #6: Find a STUDY BUDDY or a STUDY GROUP.
Promise, sobrang laking tulong nito. Hindi naman kelangan na matatalino yung hanapin mo. Ang hanapin mo, yung masipag. Para lagi kayong magkakayayaan magaral. Kung may hindi ka masagot na problem, pwede ka ring humingi ng tulong sa kanila. In this way, pareho kayong matututo at magbebenefit.
Wag na wag mahihiya magtanong sa iba, kasi ikaw lang ang talo nyan sa board exam. I-try mo isolve, magisip mabuti at kung hindi talaga kaya, saka magtanong. Wag naman yung buong libro pinasagot mo na sa kaibigan mo ha!
Pag nasuya na sa pagbabasa, mag break. Iquiz niyo ang isa’t isa. Magtanungan. Nakakatulong rin to para mas madali niyo matandaan. Nung board exam ko, may lumabas na tanong, yung laging tinatanong ng kaklase ko tuwing nag qquiz namin yung isa’t isa, ayun natawa ako habang nageexam at naalala ko sila.

PRC Room Assignments: ECE Exam (Apr 2020)
If you see a “Now Available!” note beside the exam venue, it means the PRC already released the list for that province or city and you may now view the room assignment. If it is not yet available, the PRC is still finalizing the school and classroom details. We will update this post once the official Room Assignments are released.
Here are additional useful tips we suggest you follow before the exam.
1. You’ll notice that even in just one school, several buildings and classrooms will be used as testing centers. To make sure that you proceed to the correct location, write down the exact Building, Classroom, and Seat Number assigned to you on a piece of paper and bring this with you on the exam day so you can easily find your room assignment.
2. Prior to the actual day of the board exam, research the address of the school or venue where you’ll be taking the exam. Find out the actual location using Google Maps or a guide map to determine how to get there.
3. Better yet, try visiting the venue a few days before the board exam! Doing so will help you discover the best transportation or routes to take. If you simulate going to the venue beforehand, you’ll also have an idea how long it will take you to reach the exam center from your place. This allows you to change your transportation plans, if needed.
4. On the day of the exam, don’t be late! According to the PRC, examinees who will be late will NOT BE ALLOWED to take the exam. We suggest you arrive at the venue at least one (1) hour before the start of the exam. This gives you enough time to locate the building, classroom, and seat number assigned to you.
What happens if you did not show up or weren’t able to take the boards? The answer is in this article: I registered but I did not take the board exam.

Remove my anxiety and relieve me of stress.

Please endow me your peace and warm my heart.

All for the glory of God.
Amen.”
