From now on, you must be focusing on achieving these two important goals: to LEARN and to PASS the ECE Licensure Exam. Amount of Time Needed to Pass the Board Exam. You might ask, "How much time is needed to pass the board exam"? Actually, you just need 3 days to pass the exam - 1 day for the application (at PRC) and 2 days to shade the correct answers for Mathematics, Electronics and Communications exams. However, asking "How much time is needed in preparation for taking the board exam" will make it a little bit harder to answer. Asking some individuals who already passed the board will surely result to different answers. But taking into consideration an average ECE graduate and with the type of questions appearing in the board nowadays, 4 months* is an absolute minimum for someone who desires a 99.99% probability of passing. *[I will explain this 4 months review later.] Probability of Passing. To give you an idea, you need to answer correctly 35 out of 50 multiple-choice questions in Mathematics and 70 out of 100 for Electronics and Communications. I can assure you that 4 serious months of review is enough to make an average graduate capable of answering 60% of the questions with confidence. And since each questions has 4 choices, by using all the knowledge you learned plus some techniques http://micmejia.cjb.net/articles.html: “How to Pass the ECE Board Exam” 1 of 14 E should know. by l uck alone.(such as elimination method).
