“There are many emotions you feel when you hear the word UPCAT. You can tell who put their heart on the line for this, and who just took it for the sake of pride and pressure.” -Sam Capulong, PAREF Woodrose School What made UPCAT different from other tests is what was at stake. “The UPCAT was actually no different from the other college entrance tests in terms of coverage. The exam schedule was moved to a later day but all I can say is that I should have studied more so I would be mentally prepared for the exam.” -Luis Mendoza, De La Salle University Senior High School
“All I can say about the UPCAT is that UP tests your intellectual capabilities and the way it inserted questions in Filipino will really make you think, even though you speak the language every day.
Of course, majority of the questions asked were from things we’ve learned but there were a few that still were new to me.” -Katja Rocha, PAREF Woodrose School “I found the UPCAT difficult especially because I don’t speak Filipino and there’s always that nagging thought at the back of my mind that there are so many people applying at UP. I was shivering while answering the exam.” -Kezziah del Mundo, Malayan College Laguna The aircon in our room was too cold, as in! A jacket was not enough. May mga blanks din ako because I didn’t know the answer. Since I was scheduled to take the exam at 6:30 a.m., I didn’t get enough sleep kaya I got a headache during the exam pero I answered all the questions naman properly. “It was a bit hard especially sa Math kasi I didn’t expect na ganon yung lalabas na questions. It really takes a genius to finish all those questions, especially the Math part! The time pressure was so real that I’m not even sure if I am going to pass.” -Juliana, St. “UPCAT was hard, especially for average students like me.
The length, especially in the reading part and the difficulty of most questions, will force you to skip items.” -Benchard Bichayda, PAREF Southridge School “The test is one of the most difficult exams I’ve ever taken. I knew from the start how much effort I needed to pass but it motivated me even more when I actually stepped inside my testing center and felt the moment.” -Nat Roque, PAREF Woodrose School “It was just amazing to see the number of people you were competing with to get a slot in this prestigious university. Notorious for its low passing rate and intense competition for slots, the UPCAT left a lasting impression on many senior high school students. 27 and 28, a record number of 167,000 student applicants took the UPCAT (University of the Philippines College Admission Test) on UP campuses and select private and public schools nationwide.
