Hi guys! Especially sa mga PNLE topnotchers and passers, I just want to ask for your honest advice regarding study materials.
A little background about me. Hindi talaga ako masyadong nag-aral noong college, so I can honestly say na medyo mahina ang foundation ko sa fundamentals. The good thing, though, is mabilis akong matuto once I study a topic.
Madali kong maintindihan at ma-retain ang concepts, especially pathophysiology etc, and I’d say my critical thinking and test-taking skills are around average. Pero may one thing ako na ayaw ko sa self ko guys I over rationalize even alam kona answer over analyze kopa eventually yung pipiliian ko yung maling answer padin 😭 good thing Im aware on what I need to improve and nalaman ko agad sya.
Right now, my NP1 to NP5 pre-board scores are consistently around 80% and above. Kapag nagsasagot ako ng practice questions, I usually understand the concepts and rationales.
To be honest, sobrang anxious lang talaga ako. Hindi rin ako masyadong nag-aral ngayon dahil sa katamaran etc, especially sa NP1, and (NP5). Mas invested ako ngayon sa NP2-NP4
My question is:
Okay na bang mag-rely lang sa tinuturo at binibigay ng TopRank? As in focus lang sa lectures, handouts, workbooks, at paulit-ulit na board-style practice questions?
Or should I still read other reviewers, books, and answer different question banks from other sources?
I’m worried that if I use too many resources, baka ma-overwhelm lang ako or mawalan ng focus.
For those who passed—or even better, those who ranked—what worked for you? Did you stick mainly to your review center materials, or did you use a lot of outside resources?
I would really appreciate your advice. Thank you so much! 🙏
