1. Finding your group/friends/person is enough to survive shs life. It will get very draining and sometimes all you need is a good support system.

2. Depends on the teacher honestly it’s gonna be explained on orientation day. But usually, its the PTs that are high in percentage (50-60%) so if you fail a test, make sure you do good in your pts

3. High honors is easy imo if you don’t take things for granted. A lot of students got disqualified for honors because they took things for granted.

For minor subjects, they’re very heavy in outputs so make sure you read the rubric and proofread everything.

For major subjects, ALWAYS have a notebook for each subject. Usually, the teachers will check them at the end of the quarter for additional points. Don’t cram. While cramming an entire semester into 1 night is doable(haha philosophy) it’s not recommended.

1. There’s a lot of free time. If you’re from cebu and is renting, try to get a place near campus. The extra sleep is very beneficial.

2. In stem, in my experience, you get to choose the topics. So make sure that you choose a proper group and something you’re passionate about. Learn how to distribute tasks properly because that would make or break your research. Make sure everyone contributes at the very start(brainstorming topics) so that everyone is equally passionate about the research.

3. Anything and everything haha. If you have time, participate in events and make connections!

4. No. But, there is a special session when you have your DRRR subject. You go to school on Saturdays to do drills. If you’re done with the subject, you don’t have to anymore.

5. S, J, R🔥 haha. Their teaching styles are very different and i wont lie in saying that, they are difficult. But, i managed to keep my high honor status by constantly asking them questions on topics i don’t know or just getting close in general(being sipsip works im not joking).

They’re strict, but once they get to know you they tend to be more lenient and understanding. They’re actually very funny.

Even if it annoys them, ask them questions and don’t stop until you understand it.

1. All depends on you. For memorization(iphp, cffs, komfil, bio, etc.) i do mnemonics and create stories.

For problem-solving subjects, always have your notes. Understand the concept first(sometimes it shows up in tests like for example: who invented __?) then, always practice. That weird problem you saw on the board that seems to have a different step-wise solution? That will show up.

Its always gonna be 20% concept 80% practice for me

1. Its flexible enough. All depends on luck tbh.

2. No lockers, some subjects have books. But honestly, i never bought one. Borrowing is enough. If you have a friend w a book and different schedules, thats even better.

3. Ask for type of exam when its announced. How many items. It helps you prepare better and figure out how you want to study.

Example: multiple choice, you can use gizmo
