Preparing for the board exam can be overwhelming—but it doesn’t have to be. Whether you’re taking the LET, Psychometrician, RGC, or CPA exam, these 7 study hacks will help you stay focused, retain information longer, and walk into the exam room with confidence.

1. Use Active Recall Instead of Rereading

Don’t just highlight or reread your notes—test yourself regularly. Use flashcards (or Anki decks) to recall key concepts. It strengthens memory and helps identify what you really need to review.

2. Practice with Mock Exams

Doing timed mock exams using tools like Google Forms Exam Kits will help you get used to the pressure and question formats. This also trains your pacing so you won’t panic on the actual day.

3. Follow a Study Block Schedule

Study in 25-50 minute focused intervals followed by 5-10 minute breaks. This technique (Pomodoro Method) prevents burnout and boosts concentration over long periods.

4. Mix Up Your Review Materials

Rotate between PDF reviewers, video courses, and audio reviewers to engage multiple senses. This keeps things interesting and helps reinforce knowledge from different angles.

5. Teach the Topic to Someone Else

Explaining concepts to a friend or even to yourself out loud forces you to understand the material on a deeper level. If you can teach it, you’ve mastered it.

6. Stick to 1–2 High-Quality Review Sources

Avoid overwhelming yourself with too many materials. Get a solid, updated reviewer (like those available at Sellify.ph) and master it instead of collecting dozens of random PDFs.

7. Take Care of Your Body and Mind

Eat well, sleep enough, and give yourself rest days. A sharp mind needs a healthy body. Don’t wait until burnout kicks in—study smart, not just hard.

Final Tip:
Start early. Review little by little each day and avoid the “bahala na si Batman” method a week before the exam. Consistency beats last-minute effort every time.
