It’s UPCAT time

This coming Saturday and Sunday is a very important event for every upcoming fourth year high school student. The reason for this is because the University of the Philippines College Admission Test (UPCAT) would be held this coming Saturday and Sunday. It is not only a very important day but it is also a do or die situation. Because incoming 4th year students are taking a test that will really challenge their minds and their knowledge from 1st year high school to 3rd year high school. Thousands of incoming 4th year students gather to different test centers during the said day. Most of the topics covering the UPCAT are the following: science, reading comprehension, language proficiency, and mathematics. A student must take review classes first before he/she take the exam because most of the questions covers atleast 10 minutes of your time. For me it is a very long exam because the whole exam is good for about 5 hours. So it is advisable for exam takes that they should bring their own snacks and drinks inside. That is also the reason why proctors are allowing the exam takers to eat during the exam. In the end, 6 long months would passed before the results would be revealed.
