I understand that, but why do they feel that it is necessary to even publish something like this, that is what makes no sense to me at all. Everyone is required to be able to answer anything that they learned in school, not what comes out before an exam. And if the exam is not even written until close to the exam, this is also really useless.

Just another way or excuse for shoddy review centers to insist that they know all of what is going to be on an exam.

You still will not see this being done in any other country, and the Philippines is the one that is having all of the issues with exams at this time. Currently, the Physical Therapist exam that was given there has been thrown out for cheating by one of the more upstanding review centers. and I say that in jest.

Re: Board Exam Coverage for 2008?

I am not sure if the list is revise every registration period. I think the ones written there serve as a guide the students that the questions are based on the 11 core nursing competencies like safety, research, etc. It is not specific as to what diseases but merely a general guide.

nobody knows. all you have to do is study everything.dont just rest on what some review centers will tell you to focused on. how will they know what will be asked in the exams? the BON will be quarantined while making the questions. it was televised in XXX abs cbn program that after the NLE questions are made, they were encoded in a computer and will be randomly selected. i hope you were able to watch the protocols being followed by BON from the time of making the questions and delivering it on the day of exam. well, it was just last june 2006 were it was violated!

Re: Board Exam Coverage for 2008?

Actually, i really wont care so much about that test coverage that they are giving..I mean,it's no use for me..Like what one member said here,anything goes with the exam.

I took the December 2006 exam by the way.. It was rumored that after the leakage,they're gonna make "new" set of questions... BUT whoah! To my surprise,I came across some questions that were actually asked few years back...verbatim....talk about recycling....

You are correct on this. There were couple of questions being asked from previous exams last June 1 & 2, 2008 NLE. I hope photocopy of exams that are for sale in front of the PRC should be banned if they are not planning to entirely change all their exam questions.

Re: Board Exam Coverage for 2008?

Just took the June 2008 exam ..One thing I learned, everything is within the BSN program. If you want to be a competitive nurse someday, you should know study and know everything and not only what is being focused for the board exam just to pass.

Re: Board Exam Coverage for 2008?

Good luck to all that have just taken the local boards

Re: Board Exam Coverage for 2008?

do you have idea for nov.2009?
tnx

Re: Board Exam Coverage for 2008?

Nobody knows about it except the BON, other than them, people can just proclaim their own fantasy examination. Just study it all, have a concrete Nursing foundation, a good test taking strategy, and prayers.
