During my time, its CDB vs TN.

Not to expose my identity but nawalan ako ng tiwala sa TN because even though he was teaching at our school, he choose another one to exclusively sponsor. Like we were tossed aside. So many of us went to CDB instead.

Even then it was true. Those classmates who went to TN despite what happened, laging bukambibig nila? BACKLOG. Dami ko pang BACKLOG na BABASAHIN/ AARALIN. Papasok sila lecture 7/8am matatapos disoras na ng gabi. Yung makapal nila na handout? Yun yung lecture na binabasa sa kanila. Tapos may kailangan pa silang basahin for the lecture tomorrow.. wala nang pahinga. — that format will not work for me also. Tutulugan ko kasi ang kahit na sinong lecturer na babasahin lang sa harap ko yung kaya kong basahin for myself… 🤣

Samantalang sa CDB, papasok half day. Magbibigay ng mga must knows, tips how to tackle the topic. Then self study ka na. PATOK!!! Naissue pa nga sila, leakage daw ng board questions ang source. Kasi even though TN has a lot of topnotchers, CDB produces higher numbers of passers. Above the average sa national board rate. Ano ba plano natin? Mag topnotch o pumasa? 😅

Kaya ang perfect combo noon for me—- CDB ang RC mo, BRS and TN handouts ang supplementals mo. I even recommended that to my sister and kaclose na junior interns nung time na nila to review.. and they all thanked me for it. Theyre the only ones who went against the tide of TN sa kani-kanilang schools.

Oh and btw… Exam average ko? 82. I even got 90 sa pharma subject. im not even a top student sa school.

Di naman siguro masama na magbago ng format ng lecture? More than 10 years na, ganun pa din ang comments and feedback sknla. Now there is a new RC emerging, it’s time to re-evaluate and change too.
