    1. As long as meron record sa PRC na nagpapatunay na ikaw ay na-condi noong 2010, kahit kelan mo gusto e-retake ay pwede.. hanggat hindi nababago ang RA9292 at Implementing Rules and Regulations - Resolution No. 02 Series of 2007 - Section 16 Ratings

    4. @Unknown, sa board exam ng ECE sa ngayon ay meron 4 subjects. "Conditional" kapag yong tatlong subjects ay may rating na hindi bababa sa 70% at ang isang subject ay may rating na below 70% but not lower than 60%.

    1. kapag ECE board exam, mas maganda mag enroll sa review center. Dito sa site, for ECE board exam ay tiyak marami pang kulang. Swerte nalang kung yong mga tanong dito sa online quizzes ay syang lalabas sa board exam. Importante kasi ay meron kang understanding sa mga topics na ecocover ng exam.

    Day 1
    Math - AM
    Elex - PM
    Day 2
    GEAS - AM
    EST - PM

    na condi po ksi ako last april, so ireretake ko po ung subject na di ko po naipasa.

    Ask ko na rin po kung may re take limit ung conditional, example po ung score na nkuha ko sa oct exams eh, pang condi pa din, considered failed na po ba yun or conditional pa din??

  12. @Jandee ask ko lang. Retaker ako and last exam ko was 2016 pa.

    Required ba na mag enrol ulit sa review center? Pwede ba magself study nalang and review nung mga inaral o dati? Kasi nag enrol nako sa PERCDC dati so gusto ko sana di nako mag enrol for review ulit tutal 3 years naman na ako nagrereview paonti onti bago ulit ako mag exam sa October, so meaning mejo naghanda ako.

    Required ba na mag enrol pa sa review center? Inaalam ba yan ng PRC before letting me take the exam again? Baka hanapin nila enrollment form or proof na nagreview center ako tas di sila papayag..

    Ill be waiting for your answer/advice po. Thanks in advance!

    1. Wala pa akong nabasang memo o resolution from PRB ECE na required ang magreview center. So, kung mag self-study ka lang ay wala naman problem. Kung gusto mo makasigurado, you may contact PRC. Visit https://www.prc.gov.ph.

      Delete
    2. Pwede ka nmn mag self study as long as naiintindihan mo nmn ung theory ng mga subjects dahil kung hindi.. Better go review center again.. lower math tolentino book higher math dimal book..elex indiabix at bird.. Esat indiabix, forouzan at frenzel.. Geas excel book at geas top book.. Basta focus k sa basic.. Practice mo lang everyday.. Sure yan papasa ka glhf

    1. kung hindi pa nababago ang IRR ng RA 9292 (BECE Resolution No. 02 Series of 2007), most likely ay ito parin ang coverage for the ECE Exam.

  18. Sir Jandee,

    Good afternoon.
    I am planning to take the ECE board exam again. Eh mejo matagal na yung last exam ko, so request sana ako ng mga effective reviewer books (lists sana) para mabili ko at mabasa. Self review lang para ma-familiarize po ulit about the covered subjects. Looking forward for your assistance. Salamat po.

    ReplyDelete
  27. An examination was done and the specialists tracked down that the decay was not because of lower scores on the different decision part of the exam (known as the MBE). Not really set in stone that the lower bar pass rates were because of a higher disappointment rate on the paper questions.

  29. Hello po, Conditional po ako from oct 2019 ece board exam then nagapply po ako for apr 2020 boards ngunit nacancel po ito dahil po sa covid.

    I am planning to withdraw my application for oct 2021 board exam due to covid threat po. Maaapektuhan po ba nito ang “Conditional” status ko? If not, pwede ko ba itake ang exam anytime? Most probably pag mababa na ang covid threat sa bansa. Thank you

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Valid reason naman at kung mawiwidro mo ang application sa PRC, you can directly ask them kung maforfeit ba ang conditional status mo... pero sa aking opinyon, kapag nawidro mo bago dumating ang araw ng exam, tingin ko ay d ma forfiet.. but better ask PRC para sure.

      Ang pagkuha ng exam as condi ay pede kunin kahit kelan mo gusto hanggat ang batas natin RA 9292 ay walang amendment tungkol dito.

      Delete
    2. Sir, nakapag apply na po kasi for boards April 2020 sana kaso na cancel ng na cancel. now, if ever hindi pa approve ang pag cancel ko ng application sir, at hindi ako makapag exam on the boards this year what will happen po kaya on the conditional status po?

      Delete
    3. kung officially cancelled ang iyong exam application, most likely ay retain parin ang conditional status mo. To make sure, call PRC for inquiry.

    1. mag-enroll sa review center,, i think nag ooffer na ang mga review centers ng online ngayon. Saka anumang review materials or tools na makukuha mo, online man o hard copies, laging basahin ang mga ito at pag-aralan. Pag may maencounter ka na di maintindihan, google search lang yan,,

Possible pa rin po ba ako na makapasa sa board exam kahit ang alam ko pa lang ay Ohm's Law. As in wala na po pagdating sa ibang subject, kahit sa mga math man wala po talaga. :((( Maraming salamat po sa sagot and tips nyo po.

    1. Posible naman basta pagtyatyagaan mo na magstart pag-aralan ang mga review materials. Kelangan determinado ka pumasa para ganahan ka mag-aral. Mag-enroll sa review centers. May mga online classes narin yata sa ang mga review centers ngayon. Malaking tulong pag naka enroll ka sa review center. Kung pag may topics na di mo maintidihan, google search lang,, halos lahat naman ngayon na pede mo aralin ay asa internet na.. Even sa youtube ay may mga lessons.

And saan po ba malalaman ang announcement if mgchange po?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Base sa existing Law, the RA 9292, malabong mangyaring erequire ka na pabalikin ng School to take subjects kapag nagbago ang Syllabi kapag Graduate ka ng BS ECE. Once graduate ka ng BS ECE at kahit anong taon ka pa nag graduate, makakapag board exam ka ng ECE. Pag may mga new PRB ECE resolutions, ang announcement normally pinopost sa website ng PRC, IECEP or sa Official Gazzete.
