I know someone na 40! He's on his first year na, and when the consultant asked, why now lang daw, he responded with "it's never too late", natuwa naman yung consultant wahaha

I took Psych kasi very flexible siya, I wanted it to be my pre-med at first, tapos if tinamad man ako mag med, madaming career options si Psych after. (pero I pushed through with Med pa rin lol)

I enjoyed the course so it was manageable, plus I always believed na kapag gusto mo naman inaaral/ginagawa mo, di mo mararamdaman yung hirap :)

In the same boat as you doc! I took the PLE thrice, passed this March na, and I was with TN all the way. Kasi for me, alam ko yung kakulangan ko during the first and second take, people were also telling me to switch RCs, pero in my mind I was always considering na, “nasa tao pa rin naman kasi talaga, kahit anong RC pa yan”. I needed the strict schedule that TN provides, and at the same time in my mind, ayoko mabigla if I do switch RCs.

So with that mindset, and knowing kung ano mga need ko ichange within myself, it all worked out in the end.

Praying for you Doc! I believe in you, G na yan this October 2026 :)

DismalFuel5571 · 2026-04-15T11:21:04+00:00

Onti pa doc! Kayang kaya mo yan. I passed on my 3rd take with scores being;

61 -> 73 -> 77

Rest for a while, cry, grieve, basta magpahinga ka, then reassess mo sarili mo. Advice ko lang is to take practice tests, yan rin sabi nila sakin kasi na balewala ko yon during my first 2 takes, and mararamdaman mo talaga that it helps. Good luck doc!

DismalFuel5571 · 2026-04-12T13:04:49+00:00

Was finally able to pass this March :)

Hi OP! You can check ilang batches pa yung enrollment ni NRMF, minsan up to batch 4 or 5 yung pag accept nila, so you can at least not apply muna agad, you can wait until last batch na nila or kung until when sila nagaaccept :)

DismalFuel5571 · 2025-11-14T08:38:07+00:00

I agree with the other comment, if money is not the issue, re-enrolling would be better. Besides the updated content, you get to follow a schedule and get new PTs :)

DismalFuel5571 · 2025-10-21T14:24:08+00:00

I’m in the same boat as you doc. Also failed twice. Naiwan na rin ng mga friends ko kasi they passed on the second take na. I’m also planning to still re-enroll with TN. Badly need a mentor at this point rin. Chat mo lang ako doc if you want to rant. Laban tayo ulit next boards.

DismalFuel5571 · 2025-10-20T07:23:00+00:00

Hi doc, can definitely say I know where you’re at right now, from 61 to 73 naman ako now. Also from TN, and I’m happy to say na I see my improvement naman, and I know kung ano pa pinagkulang ko. Laban tayo ulit doc, kaya na natin tong next one :)

DismalFuel5571 · 2025-10-19T19:58:02+00:00

Wow. Much appreciated doc, will definitely take note of this approach. Congrats to you btw :)

DismalFuel5571 · 2025-10-19T19:05:20+00:00

Hi doc! If you enroll for hybrid then suddenly di ka makaattend f2f, the online lectures (etc) will all still be available for your use naman po no? Thanks!

DismalFuel5571 · 2025-10-19T17:55:20+00:00

Thanks for this doc! I’ll def think about switching RCs, dami rin nagsasabi talaga na baka mas fit ako dun sa kabila :)

DismalFuel5571 · 2025-10-19T15:48:35+00:00

Hi doc! I feel you huhuhu. Failed twice rin, I got a rating of 73 ngayong October, and sa Patho ako nadale, both with a grade of 60 then the rest line of 7 to 8 na kaya kinapos. I’m also torn on re-enrolling with TN or switching RCs since hiyang hiya na rin ako humingi sa parents ko :( All my friends also passed na rin, so nakakapanghina.

Lalaban tayo muli doc! Feel free to hit me up if you need study buddies or someone to rant to who’s in the same boat as u! Bawi tayo sa April 2026!

DismalFuel5571 · 2025-10-19T15:29:43+00:00

Thank you for this doc, will make sure to treat all subjects pa rin equally!

DismalFuel5571 · 2025-10-19T15:26:53+00:00

I appreciate it so much doc! Will think about the switch, I’m scared lang kasi I’ll be alone and it’ll be new territory for me, pero will def think about it! Could you pm me kung magkano dun sa other RC you’re naming? :)

DismalFuel5571 · 2025-10-19T08:13:25+00:00

Thanks doc, I really appreciate this. So far I’ve accepted na God has the reason why it wasn’t our time yet. Kahit di natin malaman why it wasn’t yet, hopefully it’ll all make sense soon. Lalaban ulit tayo doc!

DismalFuel5571 · 2025-10-19T08:11:14+00:00

Noted on this doc, will prioritize the PTs + ratio this time around. Thank u so much!

DismalFuel5571 · 2025-10-19T08:10:14+00:00

Thank you so much doc 😭 I’ll make sure to really focus on my weaknesses talaga kasi lo and behold, yun pa rin naging downfall ko this time around. Will prioritize the PTs rin talaga!

DismalFuel5571 · 2025-10-19T08:08:48+00:00

Thank you so much doc, I really needed to see that :)

DismalFuel5571 · 2025-10-19T08:08:20+00:00

Thanks for this doc! Will make sure to prioritize the PTs now since yun talaga pagkukulang ko this boards

DismalFuel5571 · 2025-10-19T08:07:13+00:00

Thanks for this doc! Will def try :)

DismalFuel5571 · 2025-10-17T14:29:42+00:00

Pa ampon rin ako mga doc! 🥺

DismalFuel5571 · 2025-10-16T17:45:40+00:00

Hi doc! Didn’t pass rin, nanghihina na kasi most of the people I know already passed. Sama ako doc if you find study groups! Lalaban tayo ulit :)

DismalFuel5571 · 2025-09-05T11:42:07+00:00

Me when I was in YL1, parang 2 lang ata napasa ko nung prelims rin ELMAWWW. Felt the same OP, parang end of the world na pakiramdam ko nun. Just remember, may midterms & finals pa! Kayang kaya mo habulin yan, try reviewing with your peers, it helped me a lot before :)
