PRC orders retake of parts of civil-engineering exam
THE Professional Regulation Commission has ordered a retake in the subjects Hydraulics and Geotechnical Engineering and Structural Engineering and Construction in the November 17 and 18, 2007, civil engineer licensure examination given by the Board of Civil Engineering.
The commission nullified examination results in the two subjects after it discovered “irregularities” in the results. A total of 4,782 examinees took the licensure examination in eight test centers nationwide—Manila, Baguio, Cagayan de Oro, Cebu, Davao, Iloilo, Legazpi and Tacloban.
The commission, in a statement, said the examination results in Hydraulics and Geotechnical Engineering were “statistically improbable,” pointing to the “unusually” high grades obtained by the examinees. In Structural Engineering and Construction, the commission added, two examinees were caught in possession of mobile phones, which were confiscated by an agent of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI). The mobile phones were later turned over to the commission. It said it had discovered that one of the mobile phones contained answers to 30 examination questions wherein 21 answers were found to be correct.
The commission reported the irregularities and its decision to order a retake after nullifying the results in the two subjects to Secretary Arturo Brion of the Department of Labor and Employment. The statement said Brion “lauded [its] swift and decisive action.”
The commission referred the matter to the NBI, suggesting that the bureau conduct an investigation, including the identification of the people behind the irregularities.
To afford the examinees the earliest possible opportunity to retake the examination in the two subjects without need for further review class, the commission said it will administer the test on January 12, 2008, without need to pay the examination fee. The commission added that the examinees shall no longer take the subject Mathematics, Surveying and Transportation Engineering.
Examination details on the new school where the test will be conducted and room assignment will be posted at the commission’s central and regional offices and on its website.
The examinees are required to present their notice of admission, which they used in the November 17 and 18, 2007, examination, on the day of the retake.
Last year, the Professional Regulatory Commission also discovered irregularities in the licensure examination for nurses. Examinees retook parts of the test early this year.
Thanks for the heads up of my first anonymous commentator and thanks for the link.
My take:
What's this? Another rigged Licensure Exam? I don't think it is fair to those who were not involved in the leak would retake the board exam. But we still don't know how deep the irregularities or should I say the leakage is and who were involved. What are your take on this?

i'm not one of those who took the exam last november but i think that it's unfair for those who were not involved. what if the examinees really got the exam without relying to leakage?
have they done their part on investigating the case? they should check-out which school or review centers are involved because others' reputation were at stake with this kind of news. maybe it's better to think again about their decision. hmmmm
I think they (NBI, PRC) will prosecute those who were involved just to make an example. Get some evidence. Just refer to the last rigged nursing exam, was there any prosecuted or jailed because of the leakage? Maybe there was, I don't have the facts now. :)just my 2cents.
This is not new to us and I know irrigularities especially in CE Board Exams are always there.
Let me ask questions:
Where are these test questions originates!!!!!!!!????????
Just because these are this cheatings started.
Maybe "underground movements" behind PRC peoples!!!!
WHO ELSE COULD IT BE!????????????
And then relayed to review centers(like those who are famous and cxonsidered-as-top-review-centers).
TOP CHEATERS would be a right one.
Damn!"wala na yatang pag-asa tong bansang ito"..sighs
In our profession we always have a saying: "To format a hard drive is your last option whenever it has A LOT of viruses. There are still so many alternate ways to remove the virus." What I'm saying is simple, you don't have to burn the forest just to remove a single dead leaf. Same applies here, everybody shouldn't be punished just because somebody cheated (or so they claimed). KAWAWA NAMAN PO ANG MGA WALANG KASALANAN! MADALING SABIHIN NA ULITIN ANG EXAM PERO MAHIRAP MAG PREPARE ULIT PARA DUN. Just think about the time spent by students just to get that ******* license.
ie' FAIR OR UNFAIR...PRC RULES right?....post all those who passed the exam if possible...let the concern know their stand...thank you so much...AUG13_M

naku kawawa naman pala ang mga nakapasa....kasi cheater ang tingin sa kanila ng mga company na aaplayan nila...waaaa..tsek,tsek,tsek,...mmmm?
