After the UPCAT
NOTE: Please be reminded that I took the UPCAT on 2005.
The answer? Tigang na tigang ang utak ko! The questions are difficult.
I left home around four hours and thirty minutes after midnight. We (bacause, three of my classmates are with me) arrived at UP Extention Program in Pampanga by 5:30am. We were allowed to go to the lobby (where I took the test) by 6:30am. Well, Filipino Time so we actually started around 7:00am. Giving the instructions took 30 minutes! Nagmamadali pa yung proctor namin! Baklang hitad kasi! Di ka pa tapos nagsusulat ng name mo, nasa number of test booklet na siya! The test took 5 hours. The easiest part is English Proficiency! While the hardest part is Math (though I like Math) and Science. Some questions seems to be funny, you know, stupid questions.
The questions are simple but I have not answered everything. Why? I did not reviewed! What I brought with me is just my stocked knowledge!
After finishing UPCAT, we found out it’s raining. We waited for the rain to stop before go back to San Fernando. I spent 41 bucks just for the transportation! I don’t expect to pass UPCAT but I’ll not lose any hope!
I’ll have to go to hiatus now. Sorry. I still have to do my lectures! Lectures in our school is recorded! I’ll return (and return comments) after our first quarterly test.

yeah, sabi nga nila mahirap daw ung Math and Science.. wahaha, kinakabahan ako..
kahit na I’m from UPIS (UP Diliman’s high school) I’m not sure if I can pass.

I think you can pass…I mean this is how I felt when our periodical tests were done. We’ll miss you! Fufufufufufu!!! And good luck in the other tests even though you might read this a little bit late already…n___n

Wahaha..Lamo..You really don’t have to review kasi for college entrance exams. You really have to make your brain work only during the exam…Why? Coz if you do, you’ll regret it for the rest of your UPian life. That’s why there are lots of people who commit suicide coz they can’t pass the subjects. If you pass the UPCAT na talagang nag-review ka, you’d have to work 100x better pag na sa UP ka na. La lang, pananaw ko lang yun…Kaya nga ako tignan mo paeasy-easy lang…Passed the UPCAT with little effort…Kaya hindi ako masyadong nahihirapan…

Well, the UPCAT is really HARD. So expect the unexpected. Lolz. But I’m sure the stocked knowledge you have helped you somehow
Goodluck with the result!

Good luck on your quarterly exams. =) How’s Physics going? lol. =D Gawwd, Chem is just so… damn. lol. Most of us juniors were really damn nervous before the examination for Chem. A lot of the junior students failed in our Unit Test. But at least I passed. The passing score is 30 and my score is.. 31. Lol.
Hectic Senior life, eh? Ayowss lang yan. Hehehe.
UPCAT.. good luck with the result. My senior friend said she didn’t think the UPCAT was hard. She said it was more of stocked knowledge and common sense? I dunno. Do they make different set of examinations for people/students here and for students there or in other places? ..

UPCAT? ano iyon sabi ko sarili ko. when my daughter took the exam akala ko hindi siya makapasa di ko alam my knowledge pala siya. nag-pray ako talaga kay Lord. can not really forget that day, hinatid ko anak ko sa palma hall then naglakad ako mula up campos hanggang philcoa dahil wala kaming pera, but Lord Thank you talaga nakapasa ang anak ko.

nagtest akongayung last august! kainis mga proctors namin! sa UPCAT hindi mo pwede balikan ang isang tapos na subject… hindi mo pwede sagutan ang hindi mo alam kasi every 4 wrong answers minus one sa correct ans mo!!! hindi naman ganun kahirap ung science no, mjedyo tricky nga lang ung choices… ah basta ung math ang pinakamahirap…
