Entering college is one of the aspirations of Filipinos. Furthermore, this really is one way of ensuring your future. But there are people who have this fear of not being able to pass entrance exams -especially the UPCAT. If you’re not aware, the UPCAT is the University of the Philippines College Admission Test. It is the very first step in securing your position in the school. To add to that, it is administered to graduates of Philippine and foreign schools. This admission test is feared by many because they say that it’s one of the hardest entrance exams in the country. It’s so hard that even some smart, nerdy, hardworking students are not 100% sure if they can pass.
Although we have our own study regimes and rituals, some might not be just enough to ensure that you’ll pass. Even signing up for review in review centers can’t guarantee your spot. Today is your lucky day! You don’t need some magical spell or rituals. In this guide, we’ll give you solid simple things that can increase your chances in passing the UPCAT. Here are the top UPCAT hacks that actually work!
UP is a BIG place; getting lost on the day of the exam can be a tragedy. Make sure you visit the venue a few days to a week before the exam and study ins and outs in case you get stuck in traffic or long lines.
Review Centers
Ever wondered why these centers cost a fortune? Well, they can up your chances of passing by a lot. If you’ve been living under a rock, they won’t really review you. What they’ll do is that they’ll give out formats, some questions of the exam (from previous years), and techniques on how you should answer in the UPCAT.
Never rely on cramming
You’ve been a student if you’ve heard the phrase “it’s due for some months, I’m going to give it some time.” Then the last day comes and you’ll freak out knowing not what to do. As much as possible, avoid cramming. Prepare for the test a month or a few weeks before the actual testing day. Do not attempt to overload your brain in the morning or night before the exam.
