hello po.. pwede po ba magtanung kung pwede kumuha ng exam without ang agency? salamat po
@Jirel: Yes, I think you can take the exam even without an agency. You will have an advantage if u passed the Prometric already. I’ll be taking the exam on July 9… I’m so nervous though I read in other sites that the questions there are just basic ones. haiz… Sabi nila reviewhin daw ung Saunders para masanay hehe wala lang…
@Ana: Saunders daw ang reviewhin. I think you can download that and it’s very helpful. You can choose what kind of test practice you want. Meron ung magsasagot ka tas malalaman mo agad kung tama o mali with rationale pa. Meron naman ung exam type na tatapusin mo muna ung exam before mo malaman ang tamang sagot. Pero it’s an NCLEX reviewer ah. Easier daw ang Prometric kesa dun. My boyfriend was able to download a sample file but too bad it was for nursing assistants T_T The one he got was more on situational questions. It’s just up to 50. But I heard that the prometric exam these days is 70 items and 40% ang passing rate. I hope this helps! Sana nga kayanin natin! ^^
By the way, I already have an agency and I passed their interview. They just told me to take the exam first and bring the result to them. Before I got interviewed, they asked me if I already passed the saudi council exam (prometric exam) so it means you can take the exam even if you don’t have an agency yet. I heard from a nurse who already ended her contract in Saudi that the reason why other nurses are sent home from Saudi is because they did not pass the prometric in Saudi. So you’d better take the Prometric exam here in the Philippines instead of flying to Saudi just to fail and go back here in the country again. T_T Saudization is true but if you’re documents are legal and you have passed the exams you’ll not have a problem.
hi maam….can i ask if ders a prometric exam in Davao City?
plz do reply….
salamat po.. tapos ung pagssked po ng exam ay mamimili ka lang sa available na days na pwede? basta makabayad ka?
@hanna: I’m not sure if may Prometric test centers sa Davao. Kasi whenever I search about the location Makati lang ang lumalabas eh. Anyone here who’s already done with the prometric exam? Penge naman tips! ^^
@Jirel: First of all, wag mo na ako i-ma’am kasi bata pa ako hehe… Yep! You can choose available dates. Payment is only through credit cards/Master cards. Tas dapat daw may free pang 5,000 ung card na un para makabayad ka. Nanghiram pa nga ako. It’s just $90 ha. Other agencies are asking their applicants to just pay them Php5500 for the processing daw ng Prometric. Hindi alam nung applicants na $90 lang pala. Kaya it’s better to take your own sched. I thought until Friday lang sila, but last Sunday, I saw na meron din silang sked ng Saturday. Lalabas naman dun ung date ng time na may available seats pa. Mejo confusing lang nga ung mga pipindutin mo dun. I’ll try to post the step by step procedure.
hi..advice please..Should I take the exam first before applying to an agency or vise versa?thanks..
Haiz… I wasn’t able to take a test T_T Have you guys checked the system recently??? Kasi from last Sunday, I have been trying to schedule an exam, and til last Saturday, I was still hoping. I just reached the point where they would ask me if “agree or don’t agree” ,then after that, the web already has an error! I was really disappointed! I tried calling the Prometric Testing center in Makati and asked them about the web problem, but they don’t seem to be aware of it. I reported the situation, but instead of doing something, they told me to call the regional testing center in KUALA LUMPUR! What a service!
