5 Famous tips from board passers.

• Review and review!
• Think like an architect or shall we say, put yourself in the architect’s shoes when you answer.
• Learn the take away method (omitting the less relevant answer); use this as a last sort.
• During the exam, mark your answer in the questionnaire first, review it over & over till you will satisfy. Then transfer your answers to the answer sheets once it’s final. This is to avoid erasure to the answer sheets and to give you a chance to review and change your answer when needed.
• Don’t forget to pray, including that may the examiners give the questions related to what you are reviewing.

Good Luck and all the best Architects!
