A. Introduction

What is the battery examination? The battery exam is a qualifying exam given annually to incoming 3rd Year Bachelor of Science in Medical Technology students of Far Eastern University. This qualifying exam contains the following subjects: Anatomy and Physiology, Chemistry subjects (General Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, and Biochemistry) and Introduction to Medical Technology. This exam is considered as one of the most important examination that would be given to incoming BS Medical Technology students since it will earn them the ticket to Medical Technology proper. Unfortunately, realistically speaking, in every exam there will be certain possibilities that a student may not pass the examination thus facing the consequences of continuing their program to a different school or shifting to another program offered by the university. Since retakes aren’t allowed, it will be a make it or break it part for the student that will be taking the exam. Therefore, a student must rely on their study habits in order to perform greatly on the said exam. Also, about half of the freshmen population are not aware of the existence of battery examination. Through the aid of this research study entitled “Efficient Study Habits of 3rd year BS Medical Technology students of Far Eastern University in preparing for the Battery Examination”, the researchers, which are incoming 3rd year Medical Technology students and the lower years would be given information, tips, and ideas about the exam and the preparation needed for the exam specifically...
