Electronics Technicians (ECT) Board Examination is easy to take and to pass but many got the rating of Failed! How can it be? Let me tell you some perceptions about it.
Along with the ECT Review materials that I’ve shared through
my previous blog, this one is to encourage everybody who are about to take the
PRC’s ECT Board Examination. This would
be the first step to have a legitimate license. Most of the time, fellow ECE
students who are finished at least their 3rd Year in College required
by their school to take ECT Exam for them to be able to continue their major in
ECE. Other related courses to Electronics such as BS Electrical Engineering, BS
Computer Engineering, BS IT Major in Electronics, a graduate of vocational
course in electronics of not less than 2 years and even an ECE Graduate who are
not yet ready to take their ECE Licensure Examination or they will took both
the Examination (ECT and ECE) exams, it is a big opportunity because the
schedule of the examination is not the same. Alternately, ECT or ECE may come
first on the assigned dates. They try to take ECT Board Examination for
eligibility and to have an additional credential or valid ID. It is really good
to have an achievement though someone can have a job in Manufacturing Companies
for the position of Technician even if he/she has no license. But it can give
you a big chance to be a priority in applying for a job if you have an
achievement like having a license.
I will no longer prolong my ideas, for those who want to
take ECT Examinations; I will give you some insights about the actual ECT Board
Examination.
Only one subject is given and entitled as “Technical
Subjects and Laws and Ethics”.
See the Link of the ECE/ECT Exam Syllabus for September 2014
including the General Instructions.

The exam is composed of 50 items. All the subjects including Basic Mathematics, Electronics and expect to have a little Electronics Systems and Technology, Technical Questions about Electronic Concepts and Electronics Engineering Laws of 2004 (RA 9292).
You are given 4 hours to answer the 50 item questions so
there is no time pressure. You can think and review your answers many times.
Even if the questions are only 50 items. PRC have a
distribution of points in every question depending on the weight of the
questions. As many takers are suspicious about how PRC can rate their exams,
and make it a total of 100%, many fails having the grade of only 69 while the
passing grade is 70. It is not a x2 of each and every question, if that so, how
come to have a 69 or 71 grade? It can be 68 or 70 or in even number form.
Well, by the way, to be direct in the topic of how to pass
the ECT Board Examination, I will give just simple steps and the technique is
depending on you.
1.
Always Pray and make yourself relaxed
2.
Read and understand by heart your Review
Materials
3.
Search related topics about Electronics and its
concept
4.
Don’t worry about Math. Only Basic Mathematics is
given in this kind of exam
5.
Read and Understand RA 9292 specially the title
and contents of each and every sections in the ECE Laws
6.
For practical questions, use your common sense.
Good Luck and God bless to all the Takers of ECT
Examination!
