University of the Philippines College Admission Test or the UPCAT is just a month away (August 1 to 2, 2009). I believe most, if not all, test takers have started preparing for the big day. Some have harnessed the power of the Internet to look for UPCAT tips. As a response, here’s a compilation of high-quality UPCAT related articles and tips.

The tips that I posted in my blog are tried and tested–4 of my kids passed the UPCAT. I interviewed them and they particularly gave me most of those tips.
One did not take it seriously because she didn’t like to be at UP at that time, but she finished Law School at the Ateneo, and is now reviewing for the bar.
Good luck to all UPCAT takers!
I remembered when I took the UPCAT before about 14 years ago. It’s not that hard but I got disappointed when I got a letter that I did not pass mainly because the choice of course I made are both quota courses.
It may be a blessing in disguise because even though I did not pass UPCAT, I passed the ACET of Ateneo and graduated with my degree.
i miss UP. gusto kong mam-bully ng mga upcat-takers. hehehe.
the math problems in filipino are what i find most memorable about the upcat. not the hardest exam in the world, but the competition is pretty stiff.
