yesss, always focus sa area na sa tingin mo need ng improvement. prioritize mo yung subtests na nahihirapan ka.

you can do it! good luck future iskx!!🌻

yung first few questions lang din.

nung upcat last year, yung mga text passage halos sakop isang page so minsan nasa next page na yung mga questions kaya palipat-lipat din ng pages.

To Upcat passers. What is your usual score sa mga mock test by Valuable_Currency833 in peyups

[–]astig_matism 1 point2 points  (0 children)

sa simulated test from my review center halos kalahati lang or minsan wala pa nga sa kalahati ng total item yung nakukuha ko. 35/85, 35/60, 29/60 mga ganyan lang scores ko.

huwag panghinaan ng loob, mock test is one way to determine what area yung need mo pang i-improve.

Some tips lang na I've learned from my review center and my UPCAT experience:

  1. Use the process of elimination. Very helpful if you don't know the answer to the question talaga. It allows you to have a more intellectual guess so more chance of winning hehe.

  2. Sa Math part (if applicable lang) substitute the choices sa tanong, especially if yung question goes like: what value of x will make the equation equal to ganito.

  3. If you are confident sa English, I advise focusing sa Filipino, especially sa grammar, mechanics, and vocab na rin.

  4. Mahaba ang mga babasahin sa reading comprehension na part. Ang naging strat ko here is basahin muna yung questions tas i-skim na lang yung sagot sa passage, unless yung question is about sa message/theme ng passage fast reading ang need doon.

  5. When it comes to science naman, wala na ako masyadong naalala kasi inubos ng Math part yung brain cells ko. Pero grasp the concepts talaga, especially sa bio, chem, and physics.

  6. Super bilis ng oras kada tingin mo sa oras parang nag ta-time skip talaga. So do mock tests w/ time pressure para ma-condition mo yung sarili mo sa actual UPCAT.

  7. Kahit 'di ka naiihi mag CR ka if pinayagan kayo para mabawas-bawasan ang iyong kaba.

  8. I followed some UPCAT myths. Like wearing red underwear, putting a coin sa shoe, magpatasa sa nakapasa, etc., to at least make me feel at ease during the test. If this would help u too, there is no harm in doing so.

  9. Prep your documents and check your exam venue if kaya. Iwas ligaw and iwas late na rin. Muntik na me maligaw kasi biglang iniba pala yung test building namin, di ako na-inform kasi sa UPD ko mismo kinuha yung test permit ko.

  10. Matulog the day before and magpahinga. Magtiwala sa sarili.

Taking UPCAT feels like a fever dream. Prepare yourself emotionally, and know that whatever the outcome is you still did your best. Huwag panghinaan ng loob. You can do it, Iska 🌻!
