I suggest dun sa mga sumusubok na kumuha ng superior, wag nyo na po bilangin kung ilang beses na kayo nakakuha. Kasi nakakadagdag ng stress. Charge to experience at consider it as investment na lang. Sayang ang mga nasimulan na kung panghihinaan kayo ng loob.
Thank you sa lahat ng contributor sa thread na ito. Marami akong natutunan. God bless you all

@caeley OKs ang 3pm sched. Lalo na kung night person ka. Late ka man makatulog from the night before the exam, fresh ang mind mo sa hapon. Marami na din kumukuha sa 3pm slot. Pero mas preferred ko ito. Good luck!
