GOALS 101: "One-Take In Agriculturist Licensure Examination"

ARTICLE NO. 157 OF 2022 TITLE: <GOALS 101: "One-Take In Agriculturist Licensure Examination"> DATE OF PUBLISHING: <DECEMBER 08, 2022> "The journey of every BS Agriculture students wouldn't end after they graduate. In fact, it's just the beginning of facing the real world." *-imanagrcltrst, 2022.* *We, BS Agriculture students, don't just aim to finish our degree course. It's not purely about wearing that "****much awaited black toga & cap with yellow tassel****".* More so, ***to aim for bigger achievements like ...*** " ... to take and passed the Licensure Examination for Agriculturists." 🤎 In order to proclaim ourselves as a Registered Agriculturists and have that "**L. Agr.**" after our names? **We must ace the board examination**, *regardless of how many take/s it will be.* ***Here's a fast trivia about the board exam for Agriculturists:*** " ... **Agriculturist Licensure Examination** (ALE) or **Licensure Examination for Agriculturists** (LEA) were taken ***every November for 3-days***. In 2019, it ranked as the **third** most difficult board examination in the Philippines." This year, ALE happens in **November 22-24** in different testing centers in the Philippines. *Here in Luzon, only a few Testing Centers offers ALE such as:* "NCR (Manila), Baguio, Pampanga and Tuguegarao."

*And, finally! The much awaited day of ALE takers has arrived. After almost 2-weeks, the results are all out.*

Every takers surely utters & keeps on muttering a prayer before opening the file and while scrolling on the list. **Their prayer?** *None other than* ***to see their names in the list.*** According to Professional Regulation Commission (PRC), **4035** out of **more than eleven thousand takers** had passed the board exam.

**Me to those who are adding "******lang******" to Agriculture students and graduates:** *"Does the number of passers enough to prove that studying BS Agriculture isn't like what you think off?"* Additionally, there are a total of **29 Topnotchers** in ALE 2022 whereas the two **Top 1** are from ***University of the Philippines -Los Baños*** and ***Visayas State University***. Like the previous years, *UP-LB* still holds the title as a "****Top Performing School****" for having such a high numbers of passers. This year, 100.00% of their takers had passed the Licensure Examination. And, there's more. The **Top 2 and Top 9 are from our university**. Yey! Last ALE 2019, the one and only Top 1 is from CLSU. Such a huge achievement it is!

Overall, **67.87%** of the total numbers of takers from our university had passed the ALE 2022. Wherein 71.19% are first takers and 54.55% are repeaters (i.e. second take). Those first takers are certainly the "**one-time takers.**" How amazing!

*To top it all, let me congratulate every 2022 Agriculturists through this blog.* **"Congratulations and here's a clap for you, Licensed Agriculturists." 🤎** *I have a lot of friends (Ate and Kuya) who are now a Licensed Agriculturists. They're efforts and everything had finally paid off, so happy for them.* One of them is **Ate Mary**, a Crop Science major who specializes in Agronomy. She graduated last July 2022 and immediately take the boards. Well, that's my plan too. Which is **to take ALE within the same year as I graduated.** **crossed fingers** I saw her Facebook story and I instantly typed a congratulatory message for her:

And, here's her reply. Imagine how motivating it is to receive this kind of message? It feels so surreal. "**Ikaw na susunod!**" idiomatically means *I will be included in the next batch of ALE Passers, specifically to be a Licensed Agriculturist*."

Then, I jokingly said that I will borrow her reviewers and she replied: "**Sure! Inform me when you're about to take the exam.**" I really appreciate how supportive you are (as always), Ate Mary!

**CLOSING THOUGHTS** *Next year, this will be one of my manifestations:* **"Lisensya, cutie!" ♡♡**

*But for now, I will focus my whole attention in my main goal which is to:* **"Finish my thesis and graduate, on-time!"** 🎯 ****Sources of Images:**** PCR Board https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid0PvuxcwXsfNZWwxXtq3B7NccMm9siHQTvMj7tHsFAhaoCEQTaHKkUeEoetLBrNnoMl&id=100070101496868&mibextid=Nif5oz Central Luzon State University https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid022qygWF7SMBCCPFopwMwN75YcPXGhKCRa3EGwWMNHubNtApdtAJRNQTNxSQBVfGyql&id=100064855173928&mibextid=Nif5oz CLSU-College of Agriculture https://www.facebook.com/100057554915627/posts/pfbid0Afrcukgx5htL1BZRQLCRaL5cP9CNFg8WHDzUv6bsqYb98PG4kkYr2RgQJVh8zVQFl/?mibextid=Nif5oz CLSU College of Agriculture Student Government https://www.facebook.com/100068870813733/posts/pfbid026di4i1dzE8zYVTHT9RBsrnR2vHhUZorjKHm9disYyv3YW5z1o36okLKQm4FMYmCRl/?mibextid=Nif5oz The Plowman (CAG's Publishing Team) https://www.facebook.com/100063898668416/posts/pfbid02c1AhhDzcwJQD3pGaLMC3FYpeUzpQaCF6JweHs9crvkSwn4Qcuz1GZCDL6Fy7onj3l/?mibextid=Nif5oz *For more chitchats, feel free to reach me out via:* noise.cash: **imanagrcltrst** https://noise.cash/u/imanagrcltrst noise.app: **imanagrcltrst** https://noise.app/imanagrcltrst Hive (PeakD): **Futureagrcltrst** https://peakd.com/@futureagrcltrst *Or communicate with me in my socials:* Twitter: **IMANAGRCLTRST** https://twitter.com/imanagrcltrst?t=5ednteT5fBXJdnBBAQtrcw&s=09 Telegram: **IMANAGRCLTRST** https://t.me/imanagrcltrst Discord: **Imanagrcltrst**
