How can I pass to the most prestigous university in the Philippines, UP?
Without the intention of bragging, I am an honor student (specifically 3rd honors) in my school. My forte is English and a little bit mastery in Math. UP tends to be competitive because this is one of the most chosen universities here in the Philippines. Can you give me some advises on how to pass here in the mentioned university. And can you give me some topics to be reviewed? Thanks a lot!

Hi, I assume you are on your third year in High school, isn't it? If your fourth year now, then the examination for aspiring students for school year 2011-12 already happened on August, the result was posted this month and there's no round two for examination. Half of your UPCAT score came from your high school grades, the other half is from your exam score. All of your grades in major high school subjects, like Math, English, Science, etc. (excluding Religion or elective courses, etc. or CAT) are averaged using standardized weights and they'll get the 50% of it. The other 50% comes from your exam. The exam is a right-minus-wrong type, for every four mistakes, 1 point is deducted from your score. You can leave uncertain answers blank, but it doesn't assure you to get the most of 50%. UPCAT is all about language proficiency, reading comprehension, mathematics and science. I suggest you to start reviewing all your maths, science now, extend your vocabulary and read some articles a lot. It would help you. If you have the money, then you can have the choice to enroll on a reviewing center, though it still doesn't assure you. If you do not, schedule a group study session with your fellow examiners, or maybe your school will schedule a review for entrance examiners of different school. Sometimes, UPCAT questions have their "seasonal focus", for example, during my take last 2007, math questions are focused on geometry, of course, there are some comparison questions (like which of the following is greater, the right hand or left hand side, etc.), science was focused on genetics and biology. Of course there are some stray questions about physics, or chemistry sometimes.
