Librarians' Board Exam 2016 results

September 2016 exam results were out yesterday night! Even me, who has taken the exam and passed last year... waiting for the results is nerve-wracking. This year's passing rate (65%, 738 out of 1,140) was better than last year when I took the board which was only 47%. My classmates who took this second time had said that it was easier than last year's. 

Central Philippine University (my school) had 13 test-takers, 3 had taken the second time and 2 passed. Out of all the first-timers, all passed except for one. Overall, 11 out of 13 passed which makes a decent passing rate of 84% for our school. Even if we didn't have a top 10 this year, that rate is better than last year. Congratulations to my schoolmates! For those who didn't pass, there's still a next time.

Test takers with out ever-supportive teacher, Mr. Daryl Superio. Congrats guys! So proud!
