HAT TO DO BEFORE THE EXAMS...
1. Know the coverage of the entrance exams in each of the schools whera you
are applying for admission. Fha usual coverage is English-Math-Science.
Some schools require non-verbal tests.
2. Go over your textbooks and class notes, and attend a good review class. A
reviewclass willgiveyouacomprehensive summaryof yourmajorhighschool
subjects. It will also familiarize you with the different types of test questions
and teach you the corresponding techniques nnd strategies for answering
them. Thus you will feel more confident and less nervous during the actual
exams. You won’t waste precious time analyzing and understanding
instructions. Remember, most entrance exams are under time pressure.
3. Your admission to college depends on both your high school grades (usually
40%) and your score in the entrance exams (usually 60%). You c«n greatly
improve your chances for admission by performing wall in the axams.
4. When you get your Test Permit, check if it was properly accomplished. Does it
hove the necessary signatures* Do you resemble your photo* Prepare your school
ID - you may need it for verification of your identity.
5. Know the exact location of your Testing Center. Visit it several days before
your exams so that you won’t waste time looking for it right on the day of
reckoning.
Check out your assigned room. Is it air-conditioned* Then bring a jncket
because it‘s hard to tnke an exam when you‘re shivering.
Is thera a CR nearby* Fomiliariza yourself with the location so thot you will
not waste time looking for it at the time of need.
6. Prepare your pencils and erosers ahead of time. Is your pencil the prescribed
brand and number* Does the eraser erase easily op dos it fecoye smudges*
7. You will not be allowed to go out aod eat during the exams.
TIPS 2

8. Prepare yourself psychologically by being positive and optimistic. Do not
allow any emotional interference before your exams. Ex., this iS not the tiMe
†o be quarrelling with your best friend or mo†her or /fiU!
9. Keep reviewing your taxtbooks, class notes, review materials and simulated
tests savcral days before your exams.
10. Sleep well on the cva of your exodus. Lack of sleep greatly impairs memory
and concentration.
HAT TO DO ON THE DAY OF YGUR EXAMS...
1. Eat a moderate meal before leovirg the house. Don‘t eat too little - your
stomach will be grumbling. Don’t eat too much - your blood will rush to your
digestive system, thus depriviflg your brain. Drink moderately so that you
won’t keep going to the CR.
2. Don’t forget to bring your Test Permit, pencils, eraser, sharpened, and a
reliable watch. The wafch is very helpful in pacing yourself during the exam.
3. Leave your house early and give allov2ance for traffic jams. The roads and
streets surrounding UP and Ateneo hove massive traffic jams during
entrance exams.

TO DO DURING THE EXAMS...
1. Check your test booklet for any missing or misprinted pages. Ask help from
the proctor or teacher if necessary
2. Listen †o instructions carefully
3. Pace yourself. Don’t waste time on difficult questions - skip them ond go back
later. But when skipping, make sure that your succeeding answers still match
the questions. [i.e. make sure that your Answer no.5 is for Question no. 5]
4. Cost exams ore “right minus a fraction of the wrong.” [e.g. a wrong answer can
be given a weight of } point only instead of 1point. If you wish to guess,
guess intelligently.]
5. Review your work if you still have time.
6. Be honest. Don’t glance at your seotmate’s answers because he may hove a
different set of questions.
TIP3

10 Techi›iq‹ies to Get a Highei Score
i. Relax. Don’t be nervous. Before your exams, do this simple exercise to ease your tension:
Close your eyes for a few minutes and relax your face muscles. When your face muscles
relaxed, you will feel that the rest of your body will also become relaxed.
Know the time allotment for each segment of your exam so that you can pace
yourself accordingly.
Example:
Nos.1-60 --Science
Nos.61-t2O --Math
Nos.121-180 --Reading Comprehension
Nos.181-250 --Language Proficiency
--60 questions
--60 questions
--60questions
--70 questions
--50 minutes
--70 minutes
--45 minutes
--30 minutes
3. Listen to instructions carefully. Answer the easy questions first, and then tackle the
hard ones. Don‘t spend too much time on the hord questions - go back later if there.’s
time.
4. Check frequently (e.g. every 10 items) to make sure that your answer matches the
corresponding questions, more so after you have skipped some items. Example: Does
Ansu/er No.10 correspond to Question I"Jo. IO*
5. Look for shortcutsandavoidthelength computations insolving Mathproblems.
6. Some questions can be answered through common sense and mental calculation.
Example:
The 40 students in the PE class were mode to line up according to their class
numbers, and then told to count off °1-2°and divide themselves into two lines. All the
I’s were inthe firstline;allthe 2’s were inthe second line.In whichline wasStudent
No. 122*
Guide: Note that all the 1’S or odd-numbered students were in the first line, and all the 2’s
or even-numbered students were in the second line. So it’s easy to conclude that
Student Mo. 122 was in the second line.
Some questions are easier to solve when visualized with the use of a diagram.
Example:
TIPS 5

The town of Marabut is located along Marikina Highway. The to¥/n of Carcnglan is west
of Marabut. Sarar›g‹zni is east of Caranglan, but west of Marcbut. Doraga is east of
Rqjomon, bu† wes†of Sarzzngani andCaranglan. Which †own is the far†hes† west*
First step: Draw a line to locate tke relative position of cach too/n.
"The tcwn of Caranglan is west of Marabut.’ So mark tkeir respective locations on
the line.
/Vest East
Next Step: Place the other towns in their correct order.
West East
Answer: The town farthest west is Rojamon.
8. Use the "Process of Elimination" (POE) when you are unsure of the right answer but
sure of the wrong answers. Deciding between two choices is easier than deciding
among four or five. Remember, educated 9uesses can raise your score, and every wrong
answer you can cross out will improve your chances of guessing correctly. See your
En9lish Reviewer for examples of the use of "POE."
9. ”yVotch out for tricks and traps. These are purposely included by the test-makers to
confuse you nnd to test how clever you really are.
/Kofipie I: Violation of the rule of "parallel structures’
Eat, drink and singing -that’s what men usually do in beerhouses.’
Explanation: ’Singing’ should be "sing."
Example 2: Insertion of a clause or phrase to confuse you about subject-verb agreement
’Many politicians, in their desire to win an election, makes grandiose promises to
vo†ers.
Explanation: The subject is "politicians,’ so the verb should be "make.’
Examp(e 3: Use of an inverted sentence structure - the verb comes before the subject
"In the middle of vast cornfields stand the house where I was born.°
Explanation: The subject is "house,’ so the verb should be 'stands."
Example 4: Use of misplaced modifiers
*Wrapped in several layers of paper and bound secur'ely with tape, the worker frxzc!.e
sure tkot the fragile figurines would not be broken.“
TIPS

Explanation: ThiS sentence gives the impression that it‘s the worker that was wrapped in
paper ctnds bound with tape.
10. When answering questions that determine your ability to organize phrases or
, sentences, look for keywords that u/ill help your answer the question rightaway
without thinkingexhaustively.
Example: a. Secondly, they had no leader.
b. Firstly, †he workers were no† uni†ed.
c. Finally, they did not kave the support of their fah›ilies.
d. Thirdly, they had no funds to tide them over.
e. From the beginning, it looked like †he workers’ s†rike was doomed †o fail.
Answer choices: 1. abdec
2. cbead
3. deabc
4. ebodc
There are several ways of approaching this question.
One way is the "Process of Elimination: "
Eliminate Answer Choice No.1right away because it stabs with "a’ (”Secondly’).
Eliminate Answer Choice Mo.2 right away because it starts with "c" {”Finally°).
Eliminate AnswerChoiceNo.3rightawaybecauseit stort5 with"d’ (”Thirdly’).
Answer Choice No. 4 is tke only one left,so it must be the right choice.
Another way is by analyzing the sequence of some keywords and huztching them with the
answer choises.
Note the following: "Firstly...° is b;
"Secondly...° is a;
"Thirdly..." is d.
So find out which among the answer choices has the sequence "b-a-d" and you will
note that only Answer Choice No. 4 contains tkat sequence.

Sun Tzu said: There are five ways of attacking with fire. The first is to burn soldiers intheir camp;
the second is to bum stores; the third isto bum baggage trains; the fourth is to burn arsenals and
magazines; the fifth is to hurl dropping fire amongst the enemy.
Inorder to carry out an attack, we must havemeans available. The material for raising fire should
always be kept in readiness. There is a proper season for making attacks with fire, and special
days for starting a conflagration.
The proper season iswhen the weather is very dry; the special days are those when the moon is
