Final review

Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can I retake a PH licensure exam?
PRC licensure exams have fixed semi-annual or annual cycles. You can retake at the next cycle — 6 months for most boards, 12 months for some specialty exams. The next-cycle dates here are PRC's published pattern; verify on prc.gov.ph.
How many subjects below 50% means I have to repeat?
PRC counts you as failing the cycle if you score below 50% on any single subject — even if your weighted average is above 75%. On retake, you only need to clear the subject(s) that pulled you down, but the strategy is to bulletproof those AND maintain the rest.
Should I take the same review centre again?
If you got within 2–3 percentage points of passing, yes — you mostly needed more reps. If you bombed by 8+ points, that review centre clearly didn't fit you. Switch to a different format (online + AI like Super Tutor, or a smaller-batch local centre).
How do I budget for the retake?
PH review centres run ₱18,000–35,000 per cycle. Super Tutor's All-Access (₱99/week, ₱2,999/year) covers the same window for under 10% of that. PRC application + exam + oath fees add ~₱4,000. Build in transport + lodging if your testing centre is in another city.
Should I work full-time during the retake review?
If you can swing 6 months on savings or family support, full-time review usually wins. If you must work, budget 2.5 hours weekday + 6 hours weekend, and protect those hours like deadlines.
Skip the second review centre payment
Super Tutor adapts to the topics that tanked your last cycle — no human review centre can do that at scale.
