Based on the results, majority of the respondents displayed low level of procrastination which signifies that students who are enrolled in board courses tend to be effective in organizing their time and efforts. Students may also have the ability to adapt in changing situations and confident in one’s ability to perform academic tasks. Thus, students taking board courses may have clear goals such as passing the board exam which motivate them to stay on track and avoid procrastination. On the other hand, majority of the respondents displayed high level of academic grit which signifies that despite the hardships that college students faced, they still tend to work hard and stick to their long- term goals.
