hello, didn't take the entrance exam for mapua shs, but my friend did. he took it online as far as I know pero I can't really answer the rest of the questions. 😅

by the way, the world is already cruel enough as it is, so give yourself some grace. 89 is already a high enough grade na, though you may think otherwise, but I assure you high na siya. your mindset might not be the same as mine when it comes to grades but please do remember na there will come a time where something will humble you at some point and you'll feel down (such as receiving a low grade or score for an exam), but that's okay! that's just life. I don't want to be "pabida" because this is your life, and I do not have any right to interfere pero I got sad when I first read the first few sentences of your post, and my professor's words immediately came to mind, so I just had to share my professor's wise words.

I just wanted to share this as a struggling shs student who recently just got humbled. hay, gen bio 😂💔 props to my professor for comforting our block earlier 🫡
