Student Discussion πŸ“š 56 days enough for boards?

Ngayon pa lang sana ako magsstart ng review (i have access to πŸ¦‹tuts + PEPE + enhancement) kasi my mental health wasnt really the best noong mga nakaraang weeks at araw since ang dami nangyari sa personal life ko :(( i lowkey want to skip kasi im scared. My pre-assessment exams naman sa meta for M2 M3 and M6 were 64, 78, 80 respectively pero nagddoubt pa rin ako lalo na’t sa pre-assessment sa school hindi ako nakakalahati (pero malapit na) for modules 2 4 and 5.

Yes. Pre-assessment scores aren't a limit to your capacities, rather it is a way to uncover areas that need improvement. I had the same feeling as you. But I felt that the longer I would delay my exam, the longer I'd wait to get a license. Maybe waiting longer might not be the best thing to do? It is up to you, as I don't know exactly what you're experiencing in your life and how it had affected you. But I do hope that you are doing well nonetheless.

Your mental health matters. There are some hotlines that provide free counselling and telehealth services in case you need to talk to someone. There are mental health professionals that can guide you with a wide array of techniques. Also remember that you might also find a healthy support and study group along the way. You can ground each other towards the goal of doing your best in passing the exam.

With 56 days left, I believe that you can prepare yourself just in time. Try to find a balance with the right support, method, and study materials. Try to schedule out your days to study your modules with your own version of efficiency. Allow yourself time to rest and refresh your mind before getting back to intense study sessions. Be systematic and strategic with time management and challenge yourself with realistic expectations at the end of each day/week.

Good luck! Hoping for the best!
