-The problem that I faced was to verify all the certificates due to the one week holiday after SPM result... I hope the future candidates will verify all their certificates earlier before the SPM result
-At first I planed to submit the application by post and via email, however I just sent the form by post express one day before the closing date which is on 22 March 2010
-The result of PNB Overseas Scholarship Awards 2010 did not publish on the PNB website but those who were shortlisted for the test will be called by PNB, one or two weeks after the closing date

-Pn. Norlin told that the test will be held on 5 April 2010, 2.00 pm in Room 1 Tingkat 36 Menara PNB and I had to bring the stationeries and a calculator
-on 2 April 2010, I called again Pn. Norlin to confirm the date and place then she said "Kenapa tak catat?" in a joke... and I said that I have wrote it on a paper and then the paper has gone

What did I prepared for the PNB test
-practiced the intelligence quotient (IQ) test on the internet and try to know how to answer it
-prepared my mind to be clear and always stay calm
-answered the University of Kent IQ test
-buy a new calculator (if you have lost it)
-buy stationeries (complete set)

2)During PNB Test Session

-I came very, very early in the morning around 10.00 am since my cousin just dropped me at Menara PNB and went to work at The Intermark
-the PNB officer (lady) asked me to register, then I told her that my test is at 2.00 pm... so she pleased me to sit and wait at the lobby hall or pray "Dhuha" at Tabung Haji
-I just wait while testing my IQ on the internet
-at the lobby hall, there were so many people which were parents of the applicants sat at the lobby while waiting their children to finish the PNB IQ test
-at around 11.30 am, all the candidates for morning session has finished the test came down and seek their parents
