I passed the board exam last January 2005. But before I took the board, I enrolled in a well-known review center for Architecture Grad who wants to be an Architect. A well-known review center because 70% of their reviewees passed the board and belong to the topnatchers.
Architects Licensure Exam for June 2008 will be on the 26th, 27th & 29th. So, I'd like to share some tips on how to pass the board exam.
1. Relax. Relax. Relax. So you won’t get mental block.
2. Pray. You really have to pray and ask God’s guidance especially if you are not sure of the answer. But before you pray you have to trust God and let His will be done.
3. Eat Breakfast - Some people say that you'll gonna have upset stomach during the exam. However, I say it’s a myth coz I never had one. You need lots of energy to sustain you the whole day especially on the third day because you don’t have enough time to eat lunch. The third day is time pressure. You have to finish your design in just 10 hours and it’s hard to beat that time if you have to complete the design requirements. I didn’t eat my snack (baon) nor had lunch on the third day just to finish the design.
4. Shade Properly - A computer will check the answer key and there's really a difference between counting it manually. So you have to practice shading. Not to light and too dark or you might make a hole out of your answer key.
5. Avoid Erasures - As much as possible avoid erasures, if you do use our favorite eraser: STAEDLER.
6. Choose the best answer. Some of the questions are tricky. So, better to read it carefully.
7. Double check your drawing materials. Before you leave the house check your things. I forgot to bring my T-Square. Thank God my room mate brought 2 T-Square and I borrowed his extra T-Square.
