Day 1: My preparation for the upcoming civil service exam

I woke up this morning with pain in my body. That's reasonable because I finished our laundry last night. I decided to wash our clothes in the evening because the weather is not that hot anymore during night time. I know it sounds weird haha, but I know I'm not the only one who does his laundry at night. Thanks to our dryer though, I don't need the heat of the sun to dry our clothes.

Another reason why I did our laundry last night is that I decided to start studying for the upcoming civil service exam on Sunday today. Because I am the type of person who loves to procrastinate, I decided to review a week before the exam. I was just too lazy to start reviewing earlier this month, as I usually am. I actually considered not reviewing and instead rely on my stock knowledge gained over 15 years of study, but then I realized I am not that smart haha.

I finally started my preparation after finishing my breakfast. I had already added the youtube playlist that my cousin had sent me, which contains a lot of Ms. Lyqa Revilla's civil service exam review and discussion.

Who is Ms. Lyqa Revilla?

According to Ms. Lyqa Maravilla's youtube channel, she is an educational content creator, a podcast host, and a resource speaker. After getting the top spot in the 2013 Philippine Civil Service Exam, Lyqa started making free content on YouTube and Facebook to help people pass aptitude exams. This birthed a community of learners from all over the world who call themselves Team Lyqa.

Coach Lyqa, as her students and subscribers call her, is one of Youtube and United Nations Development Programme's (UNDP) Creators for Change Ambassadors for Asia-Pacific Countries (APAC). She was also chosen by Creator and Influencer Council of the Philippines as the Education Champion in 2020.

She continues to create educational content about Math, English, Logic, job interview tips, internet safety, learn to teach, etc. Her goal is to democratize education here in the Philippines and, just maybe, the entire world. ©

I started by watching Ms. Lyqa Revilla's YouTube videos about the Civil Service Examination. This includes exam coverage, as well as what I'll study and how I'll manage my time during the exam.

Before continuing, I decided to download first the Examination Advisory No. 9, for 2022 Important reminders, dos and don'ts, and other pertinent information about the upcoming exam can be found on the Civil Service Commission's Facebook page. I was particularly searching the exam's coverage.

Following the professional level exam coverage, I've decided on which lesson to begin. Knowing how difficult it is for me to grasp the subject of mathematics, I decided to begin my review by going over these three lessons under numerical ability. I viewed Ms. Lyqa Revilla's videos on number sequence, basic operations, and word problems.

I can say that I had no trouble understanding the discussion about number sequence and basic operations, but when I moved on to the world problem, I had a hard time understanding how to solve percentages and other problems. This is, in fact, one of my weaknesses, which is why I chose communication as my college major hahaha.

I chose to take a break and eat my lunch before my mind exploded from math problems. Now I've decided to write an article about my first day of reviewing in order to keep everyone up to date on my progress. Later at night, I will answer the civil service mock exam that I found online.

'til my next update.

You must be a real brainiac to be studying a week before an exam that mad genius right there, people like us take months preparing for exams, I don't know whether people do that but me I want when I enter the exams hall I should not be scared or worried about any questions at all.
