Keep going engr.

 If you didn’t pass the February 2026 Mechanical Engineering Board Exam, I want you to hear this clearly:

Failure in an exam is not failure in life.

The licensure exam conducted by the Professional Regulation Commission is a measure of performance on one specific set of questions, on one specific day. It does not measure your character, your potential, your leadership ability, your integrity, or your future success as an engineer.

Many successful engineers — plant managers, chief engineers, consultants, professors — did not pass on their first try. What separates those who succeed is not intelligence alone, but resilience.

You survived:

Years of engineering school

Sleepless nights solving thermodynamics and machine design

Board review pressure

Doubts, fear, and expectations

That already proves something about you.

Remember:

This result is feedback, not a definition.

Delay is not denial.

Your license is a goal — but your growth is the journey.

Use this time to:

Analyze weak subjects honestly.

Strengthen fundamentals.

Improve problem-solving speed.

Build mental endurance.

Take care of your physical and emotional health.

An engineer solves problems — and right now, this is just another problem to solve.

Your title may not yet have “RME” or “PME” beside your name, but your discipline, persistence, and character are already being built.

Stand up. Reset. Refocus.

The next exam is not a threat — it is your redemption.

You are not behind.

You are being prepared.

Your license will come — and when it does, it will carry a story of perseverance that makes it even more meaningful.

Keep going, Engineer. 💪
