Quick Summary Q&A
Q: I am an education student, can I use Outsmart the Board Exam even if it seems tailored for engineering?
A: “At first, I asked myself, “Para ba talaga ito sa akin? Pwede kaya ito sa inset ko kahit hindi ako engineering?” I am not an engineering student—I am an educ student. Still, I decided to take the risk, and I am truly grateful that I did, because it helped me more than I expected.”
Q: I feel completely lost and don’t know the first step to take for board exam review. How do I start?
A: “For someone who had no one to ask about the board exam—what the first step should be, how to start reviewing, and how to properly prepare—it was such a huge help for me. During that time, I was really lost. I honestly did not know what to do anymore. You could even say that I was already desperate—to the point that every day, I searched the internet for board exam tips, techniques, how to start reviewing, and the right approach to take.”
Q: I am from Batangas and feeling extremely anxious about the upcoming review. Should I move to Manila or Lucena for review centers?
A: “My friends were encouraging me to review in Manila or Lucena, since I am from Batangas, and to enroll in a review center far from home. We were already discussing where to go. However, I hesitated and eventually decided not to push through with that plan. Looking back, I am truly thankful that I did not. When I read your book, I realized how effective it was for me. It gave me peace of mind, helped me stay calm, and guided me throughout my review process.”
Q: What is a good graduation gift for an education major who is a first-time board exam taker?
A: “Right now, I have lent the book to a friend who will be taking her board examination this March. She is also an educ graduate. She shared with me that someone told her that if I ever passed the board exam, I should message you and let you know.”
Q: I have no guidance and no one to ask for advice on the board exam. How can I pass on my first try?
A: “I honestly cannot fully explain how much your book helped me, especially during the times when I had no guidance at all and no one to ask for advice. As a first-time board exam taker, I was really just trying to figure things out on my own, and your book became a big source of direction for me.”
Q: Is Outsmart the Board Exam effective for non-engineering majors?
A: “Even though I am not an engineer, I am now a board passer, and your book played a big role in that success.”
“As a first-time board exam taker, I was really just trying to figure things out on my own, and your book became a big source of direction for me.”
Hello! Good evening po. You can call me Sam or Sammie. I am now a Licensed Professional Teacher and a board passer. I would like to say thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. Thank you po because your book truly helped me a lot. For someone who had no one to ask about the board exam—what the first step should be, how to start reviewing, and how to properly prepare—it was such a huge help for me.
During that time, I was really lost. I honestly did not know what to do anymore. You could even say that I was already desperate—to the point that every day, I searched the internet for board exam tips, techniques, how to start reviewing, and the right approach to take. This was around April, and I was extremely anxious and nervous. Then I came across a post about your book. I think I saw it somewhere online—maybe on Facebook or Reddit. I am not entirely sure—but it caught my attention. I decided to order your book around April 12, and yesterday, December 18, I officially became a board passer.
I honestly cannot fully explain how much your book helped me, especially during the times when I had no guidance at all and no one to ask for advice. As a first-time board exam taker, I was really just trying to figure things out on my own, and your book became a big source of direction for me. At that time, I had many plans. My friends were encouraging me to review in Manila or Lucena, since I am from Batangas, and to enroll in a review center far from home. We were already discussing where to go. However, I hesitated and eventually decided not to push through with that plan.
Looking back, I am truly thankful that I did not. When I read your book, I realized how effective it was for me.

Thank you so much po. Your work truly made a difference in my journey. God bless you always. Thank you so much po. 🙏
P.S. Right now, I have lent the book to a friend who will be taking her board examination this March. She is also an educ graduate. She shared with me that someone told her that if I ever passed the board exam, I should message you and let you know. But more than that, I personally wanted to reach out and thank you for the guidance you provided throughout my journey. Thank you so much po.
