While real was thinking on how he can went back to the subdivision, a taxi driver approached him, and point a finger on Real's body and whisper. "Do not shout, just whisper, where are you going? "I am going to emely's home, near mandug". "Okay cool, I am a taxi driver and I can drive you there. " Real was very happy.
While they are traveling, the driver asked, "is this your first time here in Davao City?" Real answered, yes this is my first time". That was the clue of the driver that the passenger was not familiar with the place that he can trick it in order to get high meter. The more the taxi travel, the more they get money.
He was trick by a taxi driver, but Real noticed that the driver was just driving the long route that the shortcut, and when he looked at the meter, the fare was already $5.88 and gis money was just $7. Immediately, he ask the driver that he was going to got off, he paid and almost cried that his allowance was deducted because of the tricky driver.
When he got off, he asked a passed by man what to ride to his way. The man instructed him, he rode and arrived. He got his identification card and ride a jeep to the venue of their final coaching. Luckily, a minute before the review started, he arrived. He prayed to God and said, "Lord, God if what was hapened to me earlier was a sign that I am going pass then it is very fine."

While they were on the process of diatributung the questionnaire's book and answer sheet, the old examinee of 3 to 4 times already taking the exam argued where to answer firt since you must tear the 2 page answer sheet and choose the appropriate sheet to answer for the General Education Exam and Professional Education.
Real thought, Oh no, i think this is the reason why they still did not pass the board exam because they choose to answer the wrong sheet. Even the proctor doesn't know the answer. The old examinee said, It is my 4th time taking the exam, and this is the reason why I canr pass the exam because of this sheet, now, I am very sure that we must tear the second page and answer it firt. My experience is proven and tested". So, they decided to follow the examinee.
Real finished and passed the exam to their proctor first in his room, he doesn't want to review the answer as he was not used to do some corrections specially when his answer is doubtful.
