Previous Exams
The Professional Regulation Commission conducts the Chemists Licensure Examination once a year, typically in the month of October. However, the PRC rescheduled the 2023 Chemist Board Exam due to an undisclosed reason. It has a small number of examinees and a low passing rate among the programs.
In October 2022, 284 out of 731 passed the Chemist Licensure Examination. Carmel Rose Malones Rolloque from the University of the Philippines—Los Baños emerged as the topnotcher with a rating of 91.30%. She was followed by Ryan Joseph Ycoy Magsipoc from the University of Santo Tomas with a rating of 90.60%, clinching the second spot of the examination. Meanwhile, the University of the Philippines-Los Baños was the top-performing school with a passing rate of 82.35%.
