The main goal of this research is to assess the level of preparedness of graduating students in taking the board examinations in three different learning domains namely - cognitive, affective, and psycho-motor. However, this research will include the collection and collation of data from academic institutions in Central Luzon, the Philippines with engineering courses.

This study used the non-experimental quantitative design, particularly the descriptive survey. Respondents are graduating engineering students officially enrolled in different State Universities and Colleges during the 2nd semester of the school year 2021-2022. Demographic profiles of respondents were presented. Results showed that the three learning domains greatly affect the student's preparedness and confidence in taking the board examinations.
