40 Days Days Before the Board Exam This is a guide to what you can do at home. IMPORTANT: Make sure you attend all Refreshers,
19 God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill? 20 I have received a command to bless; he has blessed, and I cannot change it. - Numbers 23:19-20
Coaching, Calculator Techniques sessions and take all online exams thru Take N’ Exam. Also, feel free to make your own calendar if this doesn’t suit your strategy for the last 40 days.
Before the Big Day comes, there are a lot of things that we need to look back. Days when you struggle to even open a book just to study, moments where you chose to eat rather than to solve math problems or fell asleep while trying to memorize a formula.

I know most of you has been very tired because of the pressure and a lot of thinking that you've had. There are always questions of whether will I pass or not? Will I still fight or accept that the board exam is sweeter the second time around? I just wonder what has been our motivation that either drove us to move forward or to step back. As the days are numbered and the board exam is coming, I just want to make you reminded that we are not fighting the battle alone. The security in God's promises about the board exam should be the fuel for us to survive. With the new examiners, and competition being so tight, more materials to study and lack of time to solve problems and memorize formulas, how can we really achieve security in God's promises?
CALCUTECH BOOK (Make sure you mastered the calculator techniques. PLEASE) Answer Problems as well.

Take the Board Exam with Security in God's Promises
§ The more you have to do, the more you need to pray. The less time you think you have, the more time you need to spend with God. Hybels says if you’ll first take time to pray, you’ll actually have more time for everything else – that it’s not a matter of time, but a matter of priorities and a matter of trust: When you put God first and rely upon the strength of God’s grace to get things done, you become more effective and more efficient. Most importantly, you realize it’s not all up to you – God is up ahead, clearing the path and guiding the way. § Put all your worries to God. For God knows better than you do. § Do your task and let God do the finishing. § Never think that it is all about you. Never forget that God has prepared His promises for you before you were born. For every time that we think about our incapabilities and fears and fatigue, God has His words to always boost us until we reach the end.

Last Day before the Boards Can you bring back time? No. Can you correct all your mistakes? Not anymore. Can you study everything again at the little time left? Not as well. Then Trust. You You have given everything you can. Whether if it i s enough or not, that’s the best that you can put yourself into. Be proud of what you accomplished. You have never imagined yourself to improve that much but you did. You’ve never thought you can answer countless of questions but look, you have finished most of them. Fill yourself up with motivation. Call your family. Be with your friends. Be Still and know that HE is God. (For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. –Jeremiah 29:11) God’s way is better than your way. His plan is bigger than your plan. His dream for your life is more rewarding, more fulfilling, better than you’ve ever dreamed of. Now stay open and let God do it His way. Do your best at the boards. Do not leave the board exam room knowing you can do more. If you cannot do anything anymore... Smile. Job well done. Everyone is proud of you. Pass the paper. LET GOD do the rest. The board exam isn’t the end of the line. But it’s a beginning of a such wonderful professional life.
§ Look for better solutions to problems For example, if you don't understand the course material, don't just re-read it. Try something else! Consult with the professor, a tutor, an academic advisor, a classmate, a study group, or your school's study skills center § Look to continually challenge yourself Partially adapted from the audio cassette by Steven Covey, Covey, Seven Habits of Highly Effective Ef fective People ROADMAP FOR 40 Days “The instructions that I will list is optional and it depends on the reviewee on how how he/she will will divide his/her time. I have have evaluated the importance of each topic depending on the weight and frequency of appearance on the board exam and its weight on the board exam.”
