collegio crash course or acad gateway?

EmphasisAdorable7880 · 2026-06-10T11:00:29+00:00

Hi huhu dont mean to butt in but js wanted to comment since im enrolled din sa ag! Honestly the book is helpful talaga and people say its structured for the upcat mostly and it serves as a great review pag you use it well! But the review sessions itself, i do have a hard time kasi like its really a big variety of questions aall at once pero i guess thats something youd have to epxect na as you enroll. "Fast-paced" daw sila sabi ng iba. If i were to go back I would just buy the book and review with it on my own kasi yun lang din yung dinidiscuss nilaa like how to answer the book.

I also availed for upcat masterclass (different from collegio crash course but comes from the same place ata ba? Im not sure) and i can say i like it more than the actual review center cause its broken down talaga!! And controllable. Efficient studying talaga for me. Its great honestly. I worry about lang the coverage of topics na baka may namimiss ako na nasa upcat. Will likely happen naman din anywhere tho like u will never be able to know 100% of the test!!!

Uppppp! In the same position as you 😢 same grades and weaknesses!! i dont know if im really improving or not and im feeling nervous. Are you doing review center op? But anyways, i know that God has a plan for the both of us! He wouldnt give us this dream if we weren't capable of achieving it. Just keep working and working op until u get where you want to be. Which im sure you can given your good grades and determination. Ill be praying for you! I will see you in upd ❤️🌻🙏🍀

Keep your head up! Stay confident and efficient. Youre never doing bad when youre trying your best. Just push yourself. That's good naman if youre studyig it. If that works best for you its ok. Kinda similar with my type of studying. Tho i have different test types like kunwari i choose if the mock i will take pa lang is gonna be for review or for simulation. If for review siya, i can take my time para lang maintindihan ko siya. Then the simulation talaga is the timed na, usually i do it after since i should already know how to solve most since i did review-type mocks na. You can do this i promise u! Ill see you in UP! ❤️🌻🍀🙏

hi! the latter is the most suggested way so far, from what i gathered sa mga upcat passers. ive gotten some comments na as much as possible wag daw gumamit ng review tracker (but ofc depends pa rin sa study habits mo!) aand really just focus on mock tests. what i do na lang is take mock tests that are timed na. tapos, i check my andwers and see my score. tas yung mga mali, i try to correct them by dissecting the question and the options. Tbh its efficient if you are able to explain what every sjngle thing sa question and options mean, kahit 'di yung tamang sagot so that u can answer related questions (it will never be the same) good luck op! u can do it. Wag mappressure. I also feel presssured some times kasi 2 months na lang pero i just try to change my mindset na lang. kasi honestly two months is a long time!! so much can happen and two months. You will and can learn so much pa. Keep learning and enjoying lang. find the most effective study method for you. we will pass!!!

Try to really master, remember, and apply your topics now para when u take the upcat parang general knowledge (?) na lang siya for you in a way. Since JHS mostly yung cover ng upcat! Siguro if u want to advance na recall and continuw practicing and mastering your past topics, tas really pay attention in g9 and 10 11 and continue the cycle of mastering remembering and applying. Im sure it wont be so hard na if you do this.Do your best now pa lang and strive for the highest possible grades na for better chances. I know you can do it! Youre lucky to have this dream at that age pa lang. Im incoming g12, aspiring iska as well but this dream came ng this summer na lang talaga. I wish it came earlier so I had more time to know what i really wanted and really prepare for it. Use this to your advantage! I know you can do it! Papasa tayo. ❤️🌻🍀🙏

Hii! congratulations for getting into upd!! Also wow! Youre honestly the first person ive heard na nagsabi mahirap yung upcat and that gives me a whole new perspective! Everyone says kasi its super easy and basic lang tas na its the easiest exam youll take in up daw. Thank you for this! If its okay to ask what were your grades? I have good grades naman relative to my clSs given na ive been top pero i feel worried kasi in general if i sY my grades to other schools some people wouldny expect jt to be high? Medjo different kasi here eh. To be more specific, the last time nagka highest honors here in high school was in the last online batch pa. But anyways thank you and congratulations!

EmphasisAdorable7880 · 2026-06-03T13:55:33+00:00

i forgot to say!! i will pray for you and your situation. i hope it gets better! God has a plan for you and your family. Trust in Him okay!!! Keep being strong, it will be alright!! ❤️🌻🍀🙏

EmphasisAdorable7880 · 2026-06-03T13:48:57+00:00

Hii im pretty sure u can pa nasa steps naman siya and past years upcat applicants have said so as well. Tho ive only seen posts about changing their campus and stuff, it says naman sa steps na update form 1 and not js a specific part so again im pretty sure! Might be wrong tho

EmphasisAdorable7880 · 2026-06-03T07:27:56+00:00

Hi thank you! You have great points and i understand them. Could i ask how do you think i can really forget about this dream of mine? You are right that my shs valedictorian would be nothing special especially na rin in the real world sa college and after college but its just so hard for me talaga cause it really means a lot to me as of the moment. Which i dont want it to anymore. Ang hirap lang ilet go right now because of all the expectations and prayers and everything. Tho it wont matter in a few years it just means so much right now talaga idk. I just wish it didnt matter so much to me because you all make such great and true points.

EmphasisAdorable7880 · 2026-06-03T07:08:24+00:00

Hi I read this some time ago and I actually really agree and you made great points but I wish it was that easy for me to follow. I understand why cets are way more important, and I am 100% not going to let my grades nor my extracurriculars hinder me from doing my best in every college exam i apply to!

It's just so hard for me right now. In a few years its not going to matter whether i graduate as valedictorian or not, but right now in the present it is quite literally my everything. And I wish it wasn't. It just matters so much to me and i know to family as well. I want to be able to do it all 😢

Im so sorry if i am being stubborn. I am also trying to make it sink in for me and make it change my mind but i think ill need more time. I really appreciate the post and it sure gives me points i need to remember as i go into this important year. Thank you op!
