- 0:16you're currently working on, Excited about?
- 0:21Hi guys, I'm Jenna. I thought IDE 2023 I have been
- 0:27practicing interior design since then for almost 2 years now.
- 0:30But right now I'm at the boss. I took a break so you can say in
- 0:36a Paramus a love hate relationship with unemployment.
- 0:41Maybe with ID? They would I not with ID.
- 0:45Number. Yes, sorry, assuring.

- 1:00If you are ready to shift into your main character energy and
- 1:03design our life that feels as good as it looks, you're in the
- 1:07right place. I'm Mika Doria, your interior
- 1:10designer, your Mindset Magic news branding goddess.
- 1:13Let's dive in another thing in my own defining moment for you,
- 1:21Apna interior design. You mean in college?
- 1:28Ohh. Ohh okay you sorry go on.
- 1:34How I got into interior design in college is very interesting.
- 1:38I've been sharing this about I've been sharing this to
- 1:40everyone, especially someone high schoolers, some work mates
- 1:46for Before you interior design. It's my first choice in the UK.
- 1:52But the kicker? The catch is it was a misclick,
- 1:56yeah. Because of the misclick.
- 2:00There was eyeing for architecture with a minor in
- 2:05interior design, so I wasn't aware that interior design was
- 2:08unique on its own as a program and then engineering,
- 2:11engineering, engineering. And the reason for that is
- 2:14because when you came from a public high school, London as a
- 2:18provincial. I'm from Zimbalist for context.
- 2:21You rarely get to be exposed with horses that are not typical
- 2:28form science, technology and mathematics Ganon so you
- 2:32interior design. I wasn't aware that it was a
- 2:35program on its own but well, they life works in weird ways.
- 2:41So Long story short, when I got into the program, I tried to go
- 2:44out of it for one week after one year.
- 2:47I remember. Ohh, this fights everyone
- 2:52maraming generous feedbacks from professors if I'm doing good
- 2:56with what I do. So I took summer, less summer
- 2:59classes in UP to get into the engineering program that I got
- 3:03accepted payroll enrollment. No, second year I went back to
- 3:07the program. So that's how I continued
- 3:10studying interior design. So Ganesha, who would have
- 3:14thought? Now interview him about
- 3:17politics. Yeah, because of your board exam
- 3:20I'm learning like Diva Param Point now you also talk
- 3:28engineering classes. Ohh, no summer, yes, physics and
- 3:36mathematics and my my grades were okay.
- 3:39It's just that you don't you you unless you experience them
- 3:46something like that. So when I handle physics classes
- 3:50in mathematics classes, it's very different subjective,
- 3:54subjective side. Now ID.
- 3:56So what I'm gonna change? Ohh my interesting.
- 4:00So would you say now three years?
- 4:03I did the full back sale. Yes, definitely, definitely.
- 4:09It's very different engineering and design, even architectural,
- 4:14very different. Hmm, the engineering is snow
- 4:19background because you wanna classic stories, but better yet.
- 4:26Ohh, so when you are when you like art, science and then
- 4:30drawing you first Telangana course.
- 4:33Nah, sausages. So you it's architecture.
- 4:36That's the closest that you can get better Marami Copeland
- 4:39courses out there. I'm major heartbreak I did, but
- 4:45I wish I was more exposed to for financial economics.

- 7:00opportunities would come your way.
- 7:03So how was passing a Stop 1 influencer career lifestyle
- 7:09mindset? Um, there's a spotlight that
- 7:14comes to the title and it helped with confidence boost and
- 7:18self-image. But I would always say now your
- 7:23new achievement, it's passing, being rushed, the journey, them

- 7:50journey talaga to becoming someone who's ready to pass and
- 7:54top the boards. Ohh yeah I remember the
- 7:59afternoon exams. The third day I know.
- 8:08Was that an Oval? Was it because my feeling kinda
- 8:11Nah there sure enough pass. It was because I was confident
- 8:19in the preparation the Nona Basa forum design problem, I already
- 8:24know what to do and I was confident the Paglabas school,
- 8:27okay, you asked the school, Masaya couldn't give article, so
- 8:32Goodman Shafiya happy happy. And it also helps when you are
- 8:36in high energy even before. But take them words because
- 8:42macro roll out journey. And like what you said now when
- 8:48your energy that will set the tone for it starts with
- 8:52preparation. So in order to help young
- 8:58listeners not and get to that point too, he might not then
- 9:01young exam prep and design strategies that really, really
- 9:05help you. Okay, I'll, I'll share you among
- 9:10the major concerns, Ella and 1st then is time talaga like one of
- 9:14their biggest struggles. So Ecoba, like how did you
- 9:18manage your time and energy wisely during the review?
- 9:23Okay, your overarching umbrella is having inside.
- 9:27Even the dime inside means how much do you know what you are
- 9:34doing, what will you do and how much um of the environment that
- 9:39you will go through will you be prepared of.
- 9:42For example, let's look at it from a game perspective, board
- 9:46game perspective. Every board game has mechanics
- 9:50and our rules in place to play the game and there are also a
- 9:54number of rounds before you get finished and win the game.
- 9:58So to make it less big, you are the player meron cutting set of
- 10:03cards and your new unique abilities more that are
- 10:06different from any other player. So you inside is understanding
- 10:13what are the rules that are set in the game, what you are
- 10:15capable of and how much time do you have right now to play the
- 10:20game before you can win. So when you decide to take the
- 10:24boards, I'm Shay, You sit down and you analyse what will
- 10:31happen. So then pass of you time
- 10:34management and bring speed. You speed stacking very crucial
- 10:39chasing Mbagala, especially in the drawing board.
- 10:44Thursday. And and and weakness.
- 10:52One insight that I have during the review now, I don't like
- 10:57memorising. Um, I'm not very good with
- 11:00reading academically for so long, so I'm gonna mean as a
- 11:06team is to read the summarised but still thick materials for
- 11:11three rounds. Better Hindi question the top
- 11:14ones. But they did was I?
- 11:17I went through Quizlet and that's where I reviewed.
- 11:20And what's nice about it is that human passport exam takers, they
- 11:25have already pre made flash cards in Quizlet and you just
- 11:30have to pick which ones will you review.
- 11:32You don't have to memorise it, just go through it repeatedly.
- 11:36The technique is repetition and then you will familiarise
- 11:40yourself in the progress, in the tracking and you just have to
- 11:46answer it repeatedly and record your scores.
- 11:50That's how you will know that you are progressing and and you
- 11:54have you won't be. It's even more helpful because
- 11:57you can go through it in different formats.
- 12:00You can do identification, multiple choice questions, fill
- 12:04in the blanks. It's really, yeah, it's really
- 12:08like that. It's really inside how much, how
- 12:11much do you know? What strategies can you can you
- 12:14use? Next sketch called in Vagina.
- 12:19Let's get it on. Contact um Quintillion drawing
- 12:25part school pero heavy hossa and it's 8 hour design challenge
- 12:33because do you know about the Lajoie?
- 12:37It helped that Marlo was Marlo is my study body and it helped
- 12:42that he was fast and he was good with time management.
- 12:46So in terms of speeds, drawing sections finish it.
- 12:52You have to strategise in a way that you would allocate specific
- 12:57time per sheet to finish it and when you allocate time you have
- 13:01to follow through and you can't over exceed it in the Phelan
- 13:07because exceeding it means betraying yourself.
- 13:11Strong Bataya. That's what they felt when I
- 13:16take too long because 30 minutes long though.
- 13:22Ohh, when you said a time you have to follow through and when
- 13:28the output is done, that's when you criticize, that's when you
- 13:30judge, that's when you adjust the process.
- 13:33So senkaba mabagal Anupam adapt. Is it in the thinking board
- 13:40decision making? Is it the way that you flip your
- 13:43toddler on scale? But are you missing pencils?
- 13:47Stuff like that. There are lots of different
- 13:50strategies that you can use to change your routine if you only
- 13:54pay attention to what you are doing every time you practice.
- 13:58Yeah, the only know presence of mind then like intentionality.
- 14:02Ohh like even young speed sapag Slipknot triangle scale because
- 14:09it takes too long. Design exam cannot talaga so
- 14:17during my take I did my best friend to to memorise blinding
- 14:22your colouring and scales because they do you like help
- 14:25yourself. Island instead of the casino I
- 14:33used this game. Ohh, I use them.
- 14:36Yes. So whatever skill that you need,
- 14:39you just stick it out and then you hide the rest and you don't
- 14:42have to use so much effort finding it anymore.
- 14:45Other examples is that are metronome specific locations for
- 14:51my tools. It's part of my practice, so we
- 14:54use the three tier organizers. I know where are where I will
- 15:00put my rulers after use so that they won't tear my paper.
- 15:05Whenever I'm hungry, there's food on the side and I know
- 15:08where I will put it back up on top of snack.
- 15:13Even the identifiers are use visual identifiers for my pens,
- 15:18pencils, para. It's something in Copeland I
- 15:21know, which is which 0.50.3. Those are simple techniques that
- 15:28you can use to make yourself at least one second faster, because
- 15:33the speed is really something. Hmm, and I remember even your
- 15:38manga is kiss not injuring college technique, Marcus and
- 15:45fence that's not coming, huh, Mr. Jen?
- 15:53Yeah, and that's what Jenna would always share with us.
- 15:57Ohh and the Super Billy Lennon designed for sure.
- 16:02Speed Galaga problem ever since so my eliminate Columbia areas
- 16:10Nana Papa bagan and you can also use the technique.
- 16:15Actually another thing that really parents slows down the
- 16:21design proportion part isn't so concept making the and The thing
- 16:25is not everyone knows until the exam.
- 16:28Nah I design concept now we have to work on so any of my B game
- 16:34on tips for them to really come up with strong concepts under
- 16:39time pressure? Still, it's practice.
- 16:45You practice yourself. You pick out design problems for
- 16:50space, and then you practice writing concepts for them.
- 16:53Some maroon technique now concert band concepts.
- 17:01Models of words which are universal.
- 17:05But you know, I don't know. Concentrating.
- 17:09It's just a small portion of the entire 8 hour design challenging
- 17:15and if you are weak at concept writing, I'm not saying that you
- 17:19put it aside, it's just that you can also focus on other areas
- 17:23where you are good at, especially human areas.
- 17:26Now assume percentage to breakdown of the grade.
- 17:32You gonna win again? Approach Magina.
- 17:34Yes, let's see, Initially I was also not good with concept
- 17:39writing. It just got honed overtime.
- 17:42But what I was good at I you more going forward and I would
- 17:49highly suggest now I know you might think highest percentage
- 17:53which is the board. That's what you, that's what you
- 17:57make most impactful. That's what you give most of
- 18:00your effort because it could pull up or pull down your grade.
- 18:05Any for you know and Eddie for sure you got to complete all the
- 18:09sheets. Yes, that's very important.
- 18:11That's the number one goal is the.
- 18:13Number one goal. Okay Nanny, I know your time
- 18:17more for per section there the city of Marawi sheets.
- 18:25You still you have the allocate time for she to finish where
- 18:29sheep for example one hour for floor plan, 1 hour per RCP.
- 18:34You cannot use the entire 4 hours for just support plan.
- 18:38No, no, no. Style.
- 18:45At the time it's the word because my drawing and then
- 18:49rendering, but my technique was annoying.
- 18:54As a designer I'm not organised so I cannot just stick with the
- 18:58floor plan, finish it and then move on to another.
- 19:01My technique was I was I'm doing the floor plan and then I'm
- 19:04doing the perspective on the side.
- 19:06So I have two boards with me, one the small one and then the
- 19:10other you typical size number. So in perspective board and
- 19:16massage and then the floor plan doesn't get not I'm already done
- 19:20with the concept writing. So gonna share that was yes and
- 19:27you saw other sheets. I wouldn't say make it Bonga the
- 19:31first time when you when you've reached your one hour or your
- 19:35set time frame, you skip as long as there is substantial content
- 19:40to it, you can you can identify identify it as complete market
- 19:47as complete, as long as the content is substantial to be
- 19:50understood London the young basic information and primary
- 19:54drawing and then move forward gonna.
- 19:58I like when you said no. Time jump Kamona Sanex, just say
- 20:05you can always go back to it now one if you still have more time
- 20:10if you successfully manage your time.
- 20:12Ohh ohh God no. You mentioned that before you
- 20:19proceeded. Saw floor plan and so design
- 20:21concept meron canal concept me. So how long did it take you to
- 20:33come up with a design concept and did you go simple ball or
- 20:37talagang elaborate volume design concept model?
- 20:42Me you're training course one hour for the concert, right?
- 20:47Thinking it just so happened that you design problem.
- 20:52I already know what to do Practice gonna you design
- 20:56problem beforehand. Not exactly the design problem,
- 21:01but the the theme of the problem the type of space I was able to
- 21:05practice beforehand. So it's really in the
- 21:07preparation. Slowly Gallery to concept banks
- 21:16and even a man, they just really trust the one concept, which is
- 21:19what I did. And then another question from
- 21:25from the audience is the ball. Like when you come up with
- 21:29design concepts, there would be Times Now maybe go back there is
- 21:34a preparation bomb since socket really led to your really short
- 21:39in a design concept during the exam period.
- 21:42How was it for you when you were practicing your your design
- 21:45concepts? Like my time selecting the
- 21:48Parama Papa over think so. So like how did you decide what
- 21:58direction to take when you were preparing or like practicing
- 22:01your concept making? Okay, whatever the design
- 22:05problem is, you have to focus on what is essential and necessary
- 22:10most of the time, plus points if it's about public safety and
- 22:14welfare, always, always. So your top three
- 22:17considerations, your design strategies, your material
- 22:20specifications, it's always, it should always be anchored on
- 22:23accessibility, maintenance and function.
- 22:26And then there's a sceptics. So, for example, when you write
- 22:32your design strategies, someone kapag material specification
- 22:38Simon, let's give a scenario. You will specify this is a
- 22:42restaurant. You will specify an elaborate
- 22:45indicate the mask pattern because that's aligned with your
- 22:48design concept, esthetics of your design concept.
- 22:51That's okay. But the material that you will
- 22:53use, what is it? It should be forced in tile
- 22:56because that's durable. That's no maintenance.
- 22:59But careful because this type of example, you cannot use it in
- 23:02hospital. That's why I said restaurant.
- 23:04You have to contextualise it also when you write your
- 23:09concepts. If you would bring banks with
- 23:12you, you essence number simulate.
- 23:15It has to be universal now. That's really smart.
- 23:24And now I seen a now it because we would go for visual impact,
- 23:31at least in advice, not Eva Diva, but the deeper part of
- 23:34design is really developed. What does it entail?
- 23:37What is this design for? What is it solving?
- 23:41What makes this design appropriate for this problem?
- 23:45So that's really, really important.
- 23:46I'm glad that you pointed that out because we opened we often
- 23:50overlook I staying up. I know said barring interviews
- 23:55now the interior design are things up is not really about
- 23:59how great you are as a designer, but more of how prepared are you
- 24:03to be a professional interior like.
- 24:06Yes, we always say that you, I was told by my mentor that the
- 24:12board exam is not a measure of your grid, is not a measure of
- 24:16your wit and your intelligence. It's a measure of your grit and
- 24:19perseverance and preparedness. Wow Hindi, you just have to know
- 24:25the game. And that's the game.
- 24:29Like, if you were a professional already, how would you solve
- 24:33this design problem? I'm no, no, no, no.
- 24:36Important then to assess what are the tastes of the panel of
- 24:41the board who will judge my work at the end of the design
- 24:45challenge. Some generations Basila galling
- 24:49and young design training Nila before because it's very
- 24:52different with us now. Sakanila very batzilla with
- 24:55manual drawing. So they they like that you draft
- 24:59well, you draft clean, your penmanship is good.
- 25:03Hmm. Curious Elijah now cause I
- 25:06considering that design is subjective now and at the same
- 25:09time for the for the exam you have to also cater satis Nanang
- 25:14panel. How was it for you balancing
- 25:17your approach now you like into like fitting it also then salty
- 25:22Stella? Office it wasn't very sure
- 25:27whether you you know, but considering idea Sonia even
- 25:37advices from monkey Vedo. Well, my public safety welfare
- 25:46always accessibility that's the essence of interior design.
- 25:50So lagging function maintenance over the aesthetics.
- 25:54So your aesthetics don't approach more as a young
- 25:58designer must innovative, but the traditional way of how
- 26:03people can use the space better union similar binding union must
- 26:11be. So when you draft your papers,
- 26:15maxima is not even the words. Remember, you cannot explain
- 26:19your output once you submitted it.
- 26:22So you can put as much call outs as much as the explanation as
- 26:25necessary. Because it's only the concept
- 26:28paper that's limited in Burgundy you're asking you.
- 26:34Why don't I can already imagine you internships 1 yeah they if
- 26:39they can only see like Jenna and telephone my like when you see
- 26:45it you know now. Thank you.
- 26:51Better next time. What?
- 26:56Oh my God. Wow so pretty wow.
- 26:59I really like the insights that you shared.
- 27:02It's a really different perspective cause it's really
- 27:04about studying smart and not just making, not just
- 27:10overwhelming ourselves with the review.
- 27:13And Speaking of their Enders, I know my signature style.
- 27:20They want to see that. So.
- 27:23Yeah. Can you tell us about that and
- 27:26how it really helps you when it came to the exam now?
- 27:32Okay, indeed I want to. 1st plan was to use mixed media, see
- 27:37water colour Bala. So I used only watercolor during
- 27:41the boards and then your technique is to make the the the
- 27:46drawing complete and nice, but it's not really complete.
- 27:52So the the focal point is on the center but the colours are
- 27:56washing faded fading Selasar Gilead.
- 28:00So gonna new technique and I used 2 point perspective just to
- 28:06give the two point then do 2 point but one point is bastard.
- 28:14And I also did not use pence anymore, just straight pencils.
- 28:20Pencil perspective. Even on the sheets.
- 28:23Tracing paper sheets. No more pens.
- 28:27What happens in? Yes, you can make the pencil
- 28:30look like it's pen depending on your grip.
- 28:34Gavin Chamberlains. Yes, conical pencils.
- 28:40I don't sharpen so puppies depend this a fitness but you
- 28:48grip MoMA practice mean during drafting it you have to make it
- 28:51a sleep as when you are using pens.
- 28:56Young puppy trace with Ben as well.
- 29:01Practice with pencils. So he makes a vegan bar?
- 29:05You had different mechanical pencils?
- 29:08Got a grade? 30.5 I have 1.0 and then it just
- 29:15said Ben and she said Mongol Ben for lettering.
- 29:20Anglin is known mechanical pencil.
- 29:23You let me lay Hindi. Hindi must merge.
- 29:26Yes, and okay, and think Erica Malika.
- 29:36Yeah, baby, I'm gonna send it in.
- 29:38Ohh, getting on. But mind you, in the design
- 29:42challenge to me would be and I was very devastated.
- 29:47Gotta push him some words because new board boards you
- 29:52illustration board, yes. Swelling turn on.
- 29:58Sorry, one point perspective. One point.
- 30:01Lambda new. People are.
- 30:03Better question, Jenna, like when you were preparing the
- 30:07medical practice, where are you doing you one point or two
- 30:11point? Both.
- 30:14I prepared both. Boys my son like this side can
- 30:19along during the exam now at the young best Nah Maggie represent.
- 30:27I'm not that easy. It depends on the angling on the
- 30:30on the space. Now if PP Draw Something you
- 30:34requirement, for example if it's a lobby, if it's a bedroom, it
- 30:39depends atcha pinpoint more than that.
- 30:46So with the two, you don't know this two point perspective.
- 30:50You know how you Angel focal point now defense.
- 30:58You just have to prepare. But as early as now, you can
- 31:03decide if you want to point or one point.
- 31:06Yeah, very different precision. Yeah, I love when I did you
- 31:13first take. I was practicing mastering you
- 31:18one point perspective and then no actual exam, nothing.
- 31:21I decided not to point along. No, no, no, no, no.
- 31:25Yeah, I know. Yes, um, well, under your Seneca
- 31:32union, Gagamitin, MO because it's muscle memory in the past,
- 31:38most likely you didn't. Mugabe must have words so it's
- 31:42more efficient if you use the one you are used to.
- 31:46No, I am preparing the how you don't preference the final
- 31:51second pick the master 2 point perspective navar.
- 31:57Ohh. Yeah, baby.
- 32:01Ohh, that was about the design for short.
- 32:07Ah, so can we go Palak more specific?
- 32:11Fuck that. Things a time saving tips for
- 32:14the design for Sean and the OHH. Mostly some material say he
- 32:26observed make, um, they're top their own scale versus the on
- 32:33scale. And then there's also the French
- 32:36curve and the Flexi curve. Prince in flexi curve for me
- 32:44must burst at the Shah because if you are given a floor plan,
- 32:47the curvilinear performance flexi curve according to the
- 32:54shape of the without necessarily using inflexible bathroom.
- 33:01It depends what else Visual identifiers you must know Your
- 33:10your your routine welling para. What did your routine look like?
- 33:17Najana Bahan, They can get tips, parade, they can create their
- 33:22own. Alright so practice support now.
- 33:288 hour design challenge, you the practice location organiser and
- 33:37then usually the left side you muffins and then right side you
- 33:44rulers. Something like that.
- 33:46And then during the board's Newman, UM, naked dates, young
- 33:54papers is such that you can flip it flip, flip nalang.
- 34:00I supposed to principal or when you are gonna go back through
- 34:08your drawing and Baghdad and Gaga map.
- 34:13I supposed to just flipping it. But the danger to that is when
- 34:17you are so near Lusaka pactimo, there's also a tendency.
- 34:25Dependence Ave. because venue must be kept.
- 34:29Yes. Spacious.
- 34:32And then my Mama on the but emergency table mode.
- 34:40So you can do that. Say I.
- 34:43Don't unfortunately in the memory.
- 34:48Wow, so endemic variables coming into the exam week itself.
- 34:54So it's important that you know your routine and really prepare
- 34:58as much as you can give. It your own design challenge at
- 35:04home right Hindi sha facilitated by a review center.
- 35:10If you don't have. The president.
- 35:12No, I mean the man because you know wanna Misha as a team, but
- 35:18I think with other reviews and there's limited Lang Yun design
- 35:22challenges saying and if you feel like you're not yet
- 35:25confident with the with the practice that you did, you could
- 35:28still do with at home just a lot 1 day, maybe Saturdays.
- 35:33Through strategy and. Ohh.
- 35:39Practice, practice, practice 8 hours.
- 35:44Maybe you can breakdown the the practice into smaller time
- 35:48periods. Say for example your allotted
- 35:51time for floor plan is 2 hours. Then for Monday you do the floor
- 35:55plan for two hours and then for Tuesday you do the perspective
- 35:59for two hours again until you complete the 8 hours.
- 36:03But but of course your results are going to be different as
- 36:05opposed to when you do it in a straight goal.
- 36:08Yeah, that's true. And when you're really simulate
- 36:13young time pressure that comes from the examiner.
- 36:17You knew best result, sell again, especially if 100% effort
- 36:22progress more especially if you track and naturally.
- 36:26Yeah, show. More often than not, how you
- 36:29practice and prepared is how you will perform in the exam.
- 36:33This then Shah. So wow, I can see.
- 36:37Yeah, I know your vagina. You wanna practice?
- 36:46It's not entirely my own spending.
- 36:50It's from people who have already done the exam.
- 36:53Casima talks, Nagamani. There's one organization in you
- 36:57P they hold seminar, one day seminar or talk for this.
- 37:01And they invite top notchers also from USD, from other
- 37:05universities. I just don't know if they do it,
- 37:07if they will do it this year. And then there's this your your
- 37:10platform and then maybe some of the universities, then your
- 37:16friends like I send your name of your and try to ask techniques
- 37:22from the people who have been through the the same experience
- 37:27had. Through Improve your ask muscle
- 37:32and Parasol Shi parin magtanong. That's why we have this resource
- 37:39where you are. This is more than enough.
- 37:43You just have to believe now it's possible for you maybe
- 37:47really feel gravy. I didn't know.
- 37:52I'm really like processing now. Wow.
- 37:53Like if these are things not people know about, if more
- 37:58people know about this, I'm sure now it's gonna shift.
- 38:01They can passing rate professional then because he's
- 38:05just sad that it's low. Ohh.
- 38:09They were especially as a new profession is staples.
- 38:12We wanna legitimise it. We need like more people who are
- 38:16like advocating not my license so that is our goal Union
- 38:23collective manifestation happened.
- 38:24So because you manifest now in the longest listening passers
- 38:29top dodgers. Give me the top 10 spots you can
- 38:33share it. It's not limiting you and your
- 38:36friends can share any spot in the top ten.
- 38:38And does that degrade the value of interior design licensure
- 38:43exam? I don't think so.
- 38:44It just says no you names in the top ten spot or the the fasters.
- 38:51It says that they worked hard for the caliber that they want
- 38:55to be, and that will only propel the board to continue improving
- 39:00the quality. Developing the interior design
- 39:03licensure exam. That's through Shahab, Wendy,
- 39:07Sina. There's improvement.
- 39:09They also have a metric now. Ohh, okay.
- 39:11So we are also elevating Pala, our curriculum, the way we do
- 39:15things. So it's like feedback and
- 39:18thankful for our profession. At the end of the day it's that
- 39:21three, no money. Really uplifting it.
- 39:25Ohh so it's not fun not mindset for this because I have there so
- 39:33fuck the thing like 2 weeks. You can have any strategy, but
- 39:41if you're not in the right psychology, this is all
- 39:45pointless. Yes.
- 39:47I really believe that. So how was it for you, Jenna?
- 39:50Like young psychology, more coming into the boards,
- 39:53preparing for it, and during the taking of it.
- 39:58My name. You wouldn't say that I'm 100%
- 40:04in demeanour bordering preparation is go go, go.
- 40:07No, I would be hypocritical capacity gonna India for self
- 40:12doubt. But there's I remember there's
- 40:16this one real that you posted. I saw it in Facebook and you
- 40:19said that the board exam preparation is 80 or 90%
- 40:22psychological and 10% preparation participant.
- 40:26I agree with that. I 100% agree with it because if
- 40:30there's one thing that I believed, really no, I did not.
- 40:34If there's one thing I did not believe before that I wish I
- 40:37did, it's that human limitations are self-imposed.
- 40:41We are what we think about. If you think you will not pass,
- 40:46you will not pass. But if you believe you will top,
- 40:50the worst that could happen is to pass.
- 40:53So try to be Manish. Any thoughts that you will not
- 40:56pass because it is possible? You know, you tell yourself
- 41:01everyday I will pop, I will pass because that's the path that I
- 41:05decide for myself and that's what I want.
- 41:07And you will be surprised at the difference that will make in the
- 41:11effort that you give everyday. I said that the clerical now as
- 41:16early as preparing for it now, this is what I want, who I'm
- 41:20gonna become. That's so important.
- 41:25How did you know? At Times Now there would be
- 41:29doubts and like overwhelmed with Lampard Anglo Malapit NA and I'm
- 41:33not sure if there is still progress or if I'm really gonna
- 41:37make it during the board exam. The best approach to address the
- 41:42overwhelm first is to look at your progress.
- 41:44You have to identify in yourself consent unknown area you and you
- 41:53focus on that. But if the overall is too much
- 41:56that you can no longer handle it on your own, you go to someone
- 42:00who can give you strong words of of of encouragement.
- 42:05Have a support system. In fact, build a team.
- 42:08If you don't have one guide two weeks in alarm.
- 42:12It's very important. It's helpful that you can be
- 42:14surrounded with people who support you and who are aiming
- 42:18for the same role as you. So you and.
- 42:23Iron ventricle again, no. Yes, Environment Telegram.
- 42:28Yeah, I guess it also provides external accountability.
- 42:32So Matas success rate and actually that's one concern now
- 42:37about it since mostly are also solar reviewers and they also
- 42:46young last night Digna exam. So they don't have friends
- 42:49anymore who like remembers or they can prepare with.
- 42:54That's a reality. I'm surprised and I'm glad that
- 42:57we're doing this because it's a way to support them.
- 42:59So all supports exist in always shapes and forms.
- 43:06And for those now maybe worried about the environment and not
- 43:11having the right support system, not physically, no.
- 43:15Now there are different kinds of environment and this also counts
- 43:18as an environment. So immerse yourself in this top
- 43:22natural energy sharing in Argentina and all other pastors
- 43:26and top notchers here because that's what we're doing.
- 43:30Like really preserving the energy so that it can help them.
- 43:34Wow. OK, so given all of those
- 43:38strategies, let's jump through the timeline now.
- 43:41Ohh. Wow.
- 43:42They're done with the exam and they're just waiting for the
- 43:44results. So come musta young waiting game
- 43:47for you, Jenna. Ohh, well yeah, hassle while you
- 43:53wait. Ohh you you last day of the
- 43:59board exam. I natacha either Wednesday or
- 44:04Thursday so the next day was a work day and we have all Marlo
- 44:10and I have already exhausted our leave credits and we do we do
- 44:16not want we did not want to just stay at home naman and rest even
- 44:20when we were allowed so much support and Commission work.
- 44:24And at that time the energy was still very high.
- 44:27But I mean, deep down you adrenaline, but I don't know,
- 44:32just stay on your positive attitude, keep a sense of
- 44:38humour, celebrate because you have already done your part in
- 44:43the preparation. You showed up during the board
- 44:47exam, you know, you asked for, you sought divine help.
- 44:52And now is the time to trust that you will receive more of
- 44:56that, more of what you've asked, now that it's done.
- 45:01Gavin really love that and it makes me happy to hear it from
- 45:06you. Jen, really the way you
- 45:09articulated, yes, that is faith in action.
- 45:13And like since all the intentions lined up, all the
- 45:17energy and the toyon, the biggest chunk is the preparation
- 45:22and the waiting game is just cherry on top.
- 45:26You would know where they were. Like there's feeling it now.
- 45:28Ohh I really believe now it's past now and when you found out
- 45:34that top one style movement they offer you.
- 45:39Ohh, it was a high for some time.
- 45:44Yeah. Everyone's cheering on you,
- 45:46congratulating you again. There's a spotlight that comes
- 45:49with the title and um, but I think more so it provided
- 46:00insight on me about goal setting and teamwork because I usually
- 46:07work alone. I like working alone.
- 46:11I remember. Yeah, but because of the board
- 46:15exam, I I was able to see that there's so much you can do when
- 46:20you allow other people to help you.
- 46:23So gonna cha it's it's also a a humbling experience in a way.
- 46:29Hmm, I like that, but then I remember now it's a similar
- 46:37theme for everyone also who passed and like topped the board
- 46:41exam. Well, at least among for them,
- 46:45it's really about remembering now you're not alone in this.
- 46:50Yes, now there are powers backing you up.
- 46:53There are people believing in you and you have yourself
- 46:56friend, at the end of the day, really like pull yourself
- 46:59together. So wow.

- 47:53It's very I don't know, I I would I wouldn't.
- 47:56I would call it miraculous even maybe cause you more times that
- 48:01I was. Most I felt most powerful was
- 48:06when people were talking me, talking to me about Bible
- 48:12verses. They were sharing Bible verses
- 48:14with me. Malakas you emotional
- 48:18empowerment, especially when people were telling me to have
- 48:22faith and speaking the month. It's also it's correlated with
- 48:28perseverance. When when you have faith, that's
- 48:30only when you will persevere. So you have to believe first
- 48:34talaga that you will get what you want before you can put
