To those who aren't familiar of the term, it is the official national test for college students and graduates who are looking to get into medical schools in the Philippines. Your score will determine what schools you can apply to, and it can help with your application.
I know this is a little bit too late, but I have something to say about NMAT for all who are going to take it today... Don't worry, just take it, do your best, and again... Don't worry. Whatever your score may be, God will allow you to take up medicine if He wants you to, and your score will be enough for the school that He has in mind, just for you.
When the scores were about to be released, I was terrified to death, because I had only one school in mind. It was at that moment when I wished I actually reviewed for the test cause I didn't really take it seriously. In spite of all that, I was bestowed with a score that allowed me to apply to that one school. And I am grateful that they thought I was good enough to accept into the WVSU-COM family.
Chin up. God already sees your desire to serve His people through becoming a doctor. Trust Him and His ways, no matter what your score may be.
...Oh, and your NMAT score is not necessarily relative to your performance in medical school. Your score may be 99+ but it will take diligence, perseverance, patience, a strong gut, high threshold for pain, and a great set of insane medical school friends to make it. Hahaha
Just a quick rewind, about half of us (my pre-med classmates and I) took the NMAT in Cebu, just cause we felt like it. Hahaha (All of us proceeded to medical school. Taj, Kristine, Crezyl, Grazelle, Sharmay, Mechiel, and Celine continued at our alma mater, La Salle Bacolod; Julius went to UERM in Quezon City; Angelo went to OLFU in Valenzuela City, and I'm blessed to be in WVSU, Iloilo City.)
