Tips to Pass the Electronics Technician (ECT) Exam

Do you want some tips to help you pass the Electronics Technician exam?

Without a doubt, passing the Electronics Technician 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 Technician boards? Here’s our collection of the best insights and tips from Electronics Technician passers and topnotchers themselves!

Check out and adopt the following tips which we compiled from Electronic Spectrum.

Tip #1: Pace yourself.

If you come to a difficult question, it may be better to skip it and go on. Then come back and focus on the difficult questions one at a time.

Tip #2: Remember that test questions are not necessarily arranged by difficulty.

If you get to a question you think is too hard, that doesn’t mean the rest of the test questions will also be too hard.

Tip #3: The ones who write the test questions use “commonly made mistakes” to identify good distractors.

Thus, keep in mind that finding an answer like yours is not a guarantee that it is the correct answer.

Tip #4: If you are not sure of an answer to a question, try these tips:

  • Cross out the answers you know are not correct and choose among the rest.
  • Read through all the answers very carefully, and then go back to the question. Sometimes you can pick up clues just by thinking about the different answers you have to choose from.
  • If you get stuck on a question, skip it and come back later.
  • Your last resort is to guess on the test. Try to make your best guess, but make sure you answer all questions.

PRC Room Assignments: Electronics Technician (ECT) 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.
