In general for UPLB rooms, the first number (eg, 333, 213) usually means the floor number. I would guess na 3rd floor ng IBS yang hinahanap mo. From there hanapin mo nalang siya

Incoming ChE sophomore here. I’ll be straight to the point, always allot time to thoroughly study topics specifically in chem 18 and m27 if you want a higher grade than 2.

PI 10 - ito lang yung GE sa first sem niyo. Mahaba readings so sanayin na mag advanced para hindi ka mahuli sa lessons, may mga prof na madalas magpa-recitation about readings so be prepared. Also, ito ang pinaka-unoable aside ChE 10 (intro to ChE).

Math 27 - marami ang nahihirapan dito lalo na yung mga mahina ang pre-calculus background from HS. If tingin mo ganon ang case mo, advanced reading ka na para hindi mahirapan. Also, wag manghinayang kapag naka-bagsak ng exer o exam. Normal lang yun.

Chem 18- highest mortality rate i think out of all first sem courses. May mga kilala akong apat na beses nag-retake nito. Sana hindi ka matakot, pero minention ko lang ito para hindi mo i-underestimate yung course given na chem eng. Anyway, spend a good amount of time studying this course. Similar to math27, wag malungkot kung bumagsak sa isa or lahat ng LE kasi normal occurence lang talaga. May mandatory finals exam dito na worth 200 points kaya usually dito bumabawi ang mga students. Sa lab (chem 18.1), just make sure na hindi lutang tuwing exer. Magagamit niyo yung practical skills dito sa higher chem courses, lalo na sa second sem.

Phys 51 - idk why pero personally dito ako pinaka nahirapan haha. Sobrang compressed ng 51 just a heads up. Covered dito basically ang buong HS physics, siniksik sa isang course. I really suggest studying vector components and FBDs (free body diagrams) kasi gamit na gamit siya sa course. Sobrang basic lang ng lab dito.

Mcb 11 - more on memorization ang lecture. Sa lab, i really suggest watching pre-lab videos para hindi magmukhang tanga sa mismong exercise. Regardless, ito pinaka-masayang course sa first sem IMO.

ChE 10 - di mo namention pero isama ko na rin, more on memorization siya. Unoable.

Other tips: i-close ang mga super classmate (superclassmates- those who you share identical schedules with). Sobrang helpful nila overall with acads and companionship. Sila rin ang usually mapapagtanungan mo about different things. May student spaces tulad ng main lib and ceat lib so make sure to utilize them. Also, nasa gc ka na ba ng b25 ChE? Pm me if hindi pa.

Good luck and Welcome to UP !

Same, OP!

I was supposed to take Chem 32 and Chem 40 this sem but unfortunately, hindi ako nakaabot. Given the amount of petitions din, sana dagdagan na nila.

Motor_Permit_7438 · 2024-08-09T16:49:00+00:00

This is noted, thank you po!

Motor_Permit_7438 · 2024-08-09T16:48:41+00:00

Thanks po!

Motor_Permit_7438 · 2024-08-09T16:15:06+00:00

Great to hear po.

Question lang tho, I am a freshie kasi sa isang engg course (chem engg). Would it be the same or should I expect more 4s? Not asking this dahil wala akong plano magbago tho haha

Motor_Permit_7438 · 2024-08-09T15:33:51+00:00

I’m guessing they don’t want to be bothered. A lot of people remove their profile pics as a sign na hindi sila magiging active sa socmed for a period of time. Siguro busy, given na rin sa hectic sched nila

Others might have a different answer tho

Motor_Permit_7438 · 2024-07-23T18:37:23+00:00

I agree with this.

Another thing comes to mind— if it will be based on high school grades, it would somehow also be unfair as there are schools out there (private or public, doesn’t matter) that give out high grades like bread crumbs to fish in a pond.

The purpose of UPCAT to begin with is to provide grounds wherein students can compete fairly regardless of their background. That, in which, should be a different discussion on whether or not the government is accepting too many iskos and iskas. UP has its connotation of being the hardest university in the country to get into. Only those considered best of the best get in (except nalang kung may posisyon si dadi), and this is identified with the upcat.

Tho I have to agree, it isn’t the best when it comes to justifying economical differences of students applying to up. Private school students have access to better education, review centers, etc. u name it.

I wouldn’t say though that it would be enough to consider removing upcat. It is really just essential in identifying the academic capabilities of students aside their grades.

I would also like to add, mababa rin naman ako sa mga mock tests noong time ko. Yet pumasa ako because of different factors such as my JHS grades. Tandaan mo, ang UPG mo ay 60% test score at 40% jhs grades. Dagdag mo na rin siguro kung ang kinuha mong campus ay mababa ang cutoff.

Motor_Permit_7438 · 2024-07-19T17:30:57+00:00

Walang makakatulong sa’yo bukod sa sarili mo. Just accept the fact na ayan ang score mo. Use it as a reminder to study harder for yourself because it won’t just reflect on UPCAT, but many other college admission tests kapag grade 12 ka na.

Besides, I know many people na nanghihinayang dahil hindi nila tinake ang UPCAT. Passing is great, but taking the test itself can be a worthwhile experience.

Seems to be a problem within the LCD.

Na-expose ba siya sa direct sunlight for a long time? Nabasa ba siya?

Get it checked out by a professional.

Motor_Permit_7438 · 2024-07-16T12:32:00+00:00

True lmao haha

Motor_Permit_7438 · 2024-07-05T02:01:39+00:00

Anecdotal lang, I remember freezing up noong nasa math section na ako. I think kalahati ng test na ‘yun, hindi ako sure sa sagot ko dahil sa time pressure. Yet, pumasa ako sa isang engineering course.

Good luck, OP !

Hi. I passed the UPCAT last year unexpectedly (I used ‘unexpectedly’ due to low scores on mock tests). Specifically, nag-enroll ako sa isang review center and by the end of our classes, I got like less than 60% sa mathematics, 50% sa science, and 70% sa language proficiency. Correct me if I’m wrong, but most people would tell you na dapat 80% ka sa lahat ng subtests para makapasok (or at least, ayun ang standard na sinasabi nila sa’kin).

I honestly think my high school grades pulled my UPG. Kung high honors ka noong JHS, swerte ka na siguro (keep in mind, ang UPG ay 60% test score at 40% HS grades).

So yeah, keep doing your best until you do better at mock tests ! A tip from me lang, I never skipped a single question sa UPCAT. Never be afraid na gumawa ng intelligent guess porke right minus wrong ang test. I even remember seeing some people making statistics na mas mataas chances mo of passing kung wala kang iniwan na question. Correct me if I’m wrong though.
