For some bachelor degrees, there are still licensure exams that a degree holder must take and pass before they’ll be called professionals. Medicine, Nursing, Law, Architecture and Engineering are just a few examples of the degrees that require a licensure exam before they can practice their professions. I’ve just graduated last March 2009 with a bachelor’s degree of Electronics Engineering from the University of Santo Tomas, Manila, Philippines. Now, I’m preparing to take my licensure exam in Electronics Engineering at the end of October, 2009.

Licensure exams aren’t that easy. They’re examinations about all the subjects you had from the first semester to the last semester of your whole career in college. All topics and lessons you acquired from years back will be asked again and they will test you to see how well you remember everything that your school has taught you over the last five years, in my case.

So what’s the best way for you to prepare for the exam? I’ve already done some preparations and future plans on how to make my review work. You may try it and see if it’ll work for you as well.

MAKE YOUR ROOM REVIEW-READY
If you’re like me who spends most of her time inside her room, then this is a must. To start with, you should first clean your room. Remove all the clutter and vacate your room from anything that can distract you from studying. Laptops, hand-held consoles (e.g. PSP, NDS), musical instruments, and the television are some of the things that can distract or tempt you. Next, make sure you have a study table. I love to study and read on my bed too, but I know the risks that it may cause – falling asleep!

FIND SOME REVIEW BUDDIES
Some may prefer to study alone, but from my experience, having a study buddy has its good points too. It works when you encounter something that you can’t understand and have to ask someone for his/her opinion. Of course, like what they always say, two heads are better than one.

FORM A STUDY HABIT
For your review to be effective, you should study on a schedule. Since this is a big examination, the procrastination-technique won’t work the way it used to. You should study regularly, and if you can, study everyday! You shouldn’t just study because you feel like it and then decide not to when you’re not in the mood. Also, don’t forget to take a few 10-minute breaks every now and then.

ASK FOR GUIDANCE
If you do believe in the higher power, I think it’s the best for you to pray and ask for guidance whether you are religious or not. Nobody can help you the way He can.

Whatever this examination may come up to – pass or fail – it is more important for me that I did my best in preparing for this. Ask yourself if you really want this and if you do, do what is necessary for yourself to achieve it.
