Planning your PRC board exam review requires knowing exactly when your exam is scheduled. This page compiles the 2026 exam schedule for all major PRC licensure examinations in the Philippines.

Important: Always verify current schedules at the official PRC website at prc.gov.ph. PRC occasionally adjusts schedules and only the official website carries the authoritative information.


How PRC Announces Board Exam Schedules

PRC releases board exam schedules through the PRC website (prc.gov.ph), the PRC Facebook page, and official press releases. Schedules are typically announced months in advance but exact dates can shift due to administrative or operational reasons.

The safest approach is to check prc.gov.ph directly and set up notifications through LERIS so you are immediately informed when application windows open.

How Far in Advance Should You Start Reviewing?

3 months minimum for most board exams if you are a recent graduate reviewing full-time.

4 to 5 months if you are working full-time and can only study 2 to 3 hours daily.

5 to 6 months if you have been out of school for more than 2 years and need a full refresher.

Use the exam schedule to count backwards from your exam date and determine when to start reviewing.


Application Windows

Application windows typically open 2 to 3 months before the exam date. They close weeks before the exam. Slots in major testing centers fill within the first week of opening.

The most important rule: Apply the first week the application window opens. Do not wait.

Check your LERIS account notifications and the official PRC social media pages so you know the moment the application window opens for your exam.


Planning Your Review Around the Schedule

Once you confirm your exam date, do the following immediately:

  • 1.Count the weeks available for review
  • 2.Divide subjects by the available weeks (weakest subjects get the most time)
  • 3.Schedule your diagnostic quiz for Week 1
  • 4.Block your calendar for study time the way you would block work meetings
