i did. i graduated in UST last year, yep i'm from batch 2006. i passed the board exams last year but i retook the whole exam last june 10-11, 2007. and passed it again. it's a personal choice for me to take the whole exam again since there is this stigma that batch 2006 passers are cheaters. well, me passing the board exam twice should take care of that problem. at least i've proven myself and i've justified my license. 2006 nursing board questions are waaaaayyyyyyy easier than 2007 board questions. how hard was the boards last june? here's an example: on my favorite subject psychiatric nursing (test V) where I've always gotten a score of 90/100 and higher during our review, when i received the test booklet for test V last june, the first four questions i was like what the F**k is this talking about??? and i spent 30 minutes trying to understand those FOUR questions, and i felt like i was mentally blocked by them that when I reached question #74 i think, i couldn't figure out the difference of agoraphobia and claustrophobia anymore. i know they're fear of closed spaces and fear of open/public places, i just couldn't remember which is which between the two!!!!!!! yeah, it was really really crazy. but one thing that really helped me is this: don't over-analyze questions. you'd just confuse yourself. goodluck and God bless you!
