Practice Makes Perfect

Time flies so fast, it’s already August! Have you guys prepared your requirements for PRC? More or less at this time you should completed your requirements in preparation for the exam application; deadline of application will be on September 13, 2015.

Next month will be the mock exam schedule for the review center. Are you ready? I know that mostly would say “NO”, but here is the thing...  no one is actually fully ready for any exam ever. When I scheduled my mock exam last year, E and I chose the 1^st week. At that time, we know that we’re not really that ready for the mock exam.

We chose the earliest schedule because we want to test what we know up to that time frame. After the exam we’ll just review and access the things that we missed in the mock exam. One of the advantage of taking the mock exam earlier is that you can get the chance to check your papers on your own and even review your mistakes. The review center allows the takers to manually check their papers if they want to.

Talking about the mock exam, the most difficult part for anyone is the Design subject. I know that some of you would tell us that you haven’t even finished a single plate from floor plan to rendered perspective in any deign subject class. Well here is the thing, even in my time I haven’t completed any design plates during the review. But the important thing is that you must strive to finish what you can during the design subject session and the mock exam.

The mock exam is the perfect opportunity to practice and know what you need to prepare for the board exam itself. For example, what food would you be preparing for the exam itself. I experimented tuna sandwich and spam sandwich, these are foods that can be easily freshly prepared or cook every morning before the exam starts. It is also the most convenient to carry and to eat during the exam.

My point is every small details like my example is really a big thing in the most crucial time. Believe me when I say that you must attend all the possible mock exam not just from the review center but also like from your university (some universities prepare mock exams for their graduates for assessment). I attended and finished both exam though my grades at that mock exams were not that good, I’m still glad that I took the opportunity to be able to practice more and get more helpful information and tips out of my mock exam experience.

Think about it, there is nothing you can lose in trying and practicing more.

Until next time,
