USTET Tips

I took my USTET last August 2014. A week after I took the UPCAT and I think I could pretty much share what I have experienced. Go ahead and if you have any questions feel free to ask me! :))

1. Mag aral ng mabuti. Honestly wag niyo ‘kong gayahin na ‘di ako nakapagreview dahil pagod ako the day before. Although I have passed the USTET, please aral kayo ng mabuti lalo na kung mahina sa Math. (idek how i passed that). Some IQ test questions can be really confusing and kailangan siyang sagutan under the time frame of 30 minutes. Also, yung nag iiba din yung tanong per batch, accg. to my classmate na nasa last batch siya, may Physics yung Science part niya at yung amin wala noon. So it’s better to skim and scan your notes from the very beginning. Marami noong Geometry sa Math part, sa IQ kailangan witty ka at mabilis sumagot and analyze, sa English, basta kung grammar nazi ka ganon, madali lang lol.

2. Pray. Promise, simula ata after ‘kong nagtake hanggang Jan 28, panay dasal ako. Before ilabas yung results, nagrosary kami ng mga classmates ko sa Blessed Sacrament. Pray din before the exam, naalala ko may rosary ako while answering hehehehe

3. Baon tips: just light snacks. Wala kang time para kumain ng may rice or ulam. You’ll be fighting against the time. As much as possible, sugary kinds of food. I had gummy candies while answering.

4. Relax. Don’t stress yourself. Pag ‘di alam, balikan or hulaan. ‘Di siya UPCAT na right minus wrong. Malay mo tumama ka huehue. Mastress ka na after the exams ganon.

5. Wear comfy clothes and don’t forget your jacket kasi naka aircon.

6. Arrive earlier than the said time. Medyo matagal kayong ihohold sa building. Sa Benavides ako noon hehehe, I was with my classmates pero ‘di kami magkaroom.

7. Check niyo kung nadala niyo na ba lahat ng nakasulat sa test permit niyo: pencils, 2x2 picture and whatever na nakasulat.

8.  VERY IMPORTANT: Wag iwala ang test permit before and after the exam! You’re gonna need that para maka log-in sa results day.

9. WAG MAGING OVER CONFIDENT pls. Kung nadalian ka, wag mag assure. I remember reading a post on the USTF, masyadong over confident, ‘di pumasa ganon. Be humble.

I think that’s all! Hahaha. Hit up the ask if you have any other questions. SEE YOU AROUND FUTURE TIGERS~~ (Parang kahapon nangangarap lang kami na makapag aral dito. just like you guys, ngayon we’re here! Tiwala lang! :D)

GOOD LUCK GUYS!

USTET Tips!!!

YES!! Pinangarap ko talaga na magbigay ng tips sa mga susunod namang mageexam. Thank God, nakapasa ako. Ahuehue. So eto na...

Generally, this is applicable for all Aspiring Thomasians. I’m not sure kung tatanggap ng students ang College namin so nvm. LOL. Btw, I took the provincial exam, so meaning, di ako sa UST nag-exam. Pero I read some tips dati tungkol sa mga mag-eexam sa UST.

1. Wag masyadong pa-comfort. 

Maraming nagsasabi na “Ay chix lang yang Ustet. No need to review.” AY JAN TAYO NAGKAKAMALI DONG. Wag mo lahatin. Hindi porket nadalian ka eh, madali na rin para sa iba. I actually reviewed. I reread my old notebooks. Sa Science, parang 5 items lang yung Physics sa amin haha! So di yun sure kasi ofc, nagbabago sila ng exam and Idk your scopes since K-12 kayo. So read on Science I, Biology, Chemistry and Physics. Sa Math naman, basta nakikinig ka sa teacher mo, you’ll do good. I think dapat sinusulat ang solutions sa paper na ibibigay nila. Pero my scratch was so messy! Crumpled pa nga naalala ko haha kasi I forgot na ipapasa pala. Sa English, so yeah, matutong magtyaga mag-basa. PLEASE LANG. And the mental ability sa first part, separated tong sheet na to, please dalian niyo. I think 10 minutes lang to?? BECAUSE DI KO NATAPOS. MASYADO AKONG NALINLANG NG ORAS. So yeah parang isang column yung di ko nasagutan. Di ako nag-shotgun, nvm. 

2. Take a nice sleep before the exam.

Never ever ever ever ever CRAM!!! WAG PLEASE. I believe na kapag nag-cram ka, all-nighter ba, ma-bablock mind mo. So please, prepare for the exam really well. Mas maganda kung magbawas ka na rin sa gabi para iwas sabagal. Sleep early kung maaari.

3. If you’re taking your exam sa UST or Provincial, BE FAMILIAR WITH YOUR TEST SITES/ROOMS.

Make sure na alam niyo yung way niyo. Mahirap maligaw, I swear. Kasi kung late ka, it depends sa proctor kung papayagan ka pa mag-exam or idk. Either way, it will screw you. So, don’t be late din. Pag sa UST kayo, Bring jacket. Lagi ko tong nababasa. I believe na almost lahat ng testing sites ng UST ay air-conditioned? So yeah. Trust me when I say cold.

4. Be prepared sa mga things.

USTET Form, Pencilsssss PLURAL , Eraser, Nuff said. And wait, light snacks na rin if gusto mo. May baon ako nun, pero I didn’t had time para kumain. Exam > Hunger LOL

5. NEVER TAKE USTET FOR GRANTED.

Trust me when I say. Hindi naman kasi made ang USTET para sa mga estudyanteng ayaw naman talaga mag-exam dito in the first place. Settle your thoughts. Kung gusto mo, gusto mo. Huwag kang mapilitan. I’m not saying na hindi ka pwede mag-exam if ever ayaw mo talaga. I’m just saying na kung isang tao ang USTET, hindi ba’t masasaktan din siya if ever?? Think.

6. Be POSITIVE!! (WAG KANG AAYAW LOL)

Since sa UST ko talaga gusto mag-aral, nandun yung kaba ko habang nagtatake ng exam and at the same time nandun yung thoughts na “Pag nakapasa ako, makakapagwelcome walk din ako, tas magswimming din ako sa Espana, tapos tapos tapos...” ISIPIN MO NA PAPASA KA. NA WALANG IMPOSIBLE, Don’t be scared to take the risk. After all, walang dumadaan sa matinding paghihirap nang hindi nasasaktan. Atleast, you tried. BE HAPPY NA NAKAPAG-EXAM KA. The results is ibang usapan lel.

7. Wag mangopya. 

BASTA. WAG MANGOPYA. MAHIYA TAYO SA MGA NAGHIRAP MAGREVIEW. Di ka makakapasok sa unibersidad na ganito kung paiiralin mo pangongopya mo kahit USTET.

8. Keep track of time. 

Una, wag malalate. Pangalawa, keep track of time bawat subj. You’ll know why once you get there. 

9. WEAR DECENT CLOTHES. BE CONSERVATIVE KUNG SA UST KA MAGEEXAM.

Firstly, University of Santo Tomas has a dress code. Bawal ang sleeveless, shorts, mini skirt or any na labag sa mata ng simbahan lol. Please, YOU ARE TRYING TO ENTER THE PONTIFICAL AND ROYAL CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF THE PHILIPPINES!!! Understood na you should dress according sa mata ni God. Or if ever sa provincial ka, please wear decent clothes pa rin even though hindi ka sa UST mag-eexam. Why? Kasi to be honest, kung di mo kaya sumunod sa dress code ng isang araw, what if kapag nasa UST ka na?

10. PRAY PRAY PRAY!!! Trust yourself, Trust God, Trust the exams.

Never forget to pray. Kasi sa mga oras na mahihirapan ka sa exam, si God lang malalapitan mo. I’m not saying na papkokopyahin ka niya. Instead, siya magbibigay ng lakas ng loob sayo para maishotgun mo yung mga di mo alam na questions. Loljk. Basta diba sabi nila, 99% Prayer, 1% Knowledge? Kasi what is intelligence if you don’t have faith in yourself and in Him? So yeah. Ipagdasal mo USTET mo. Same rin kapag malapit na labasa ng results.

So yeah we’re done! Btw, I am an incoming freshie of UST-College of Nursing. Idk kung tatanggap ang Nursing. Pero kung oo, BE EXCITEDDDDD!! Because if you pass, you are one lucky kid!! Why? Kasi di pa tapos paghihirap mo HAHAHAHAHAHA sarcastic ako sa lucky kid. Whyyyyyy?? May interview pa kayo hahahahahaa!!! Dw, those are just practical questions and honesty. So nevertheless, if you’re from a different course, idk na. All I know is may drawing exam ang CFAD at Arki. So yeah folks, Goodluck!! Enjoy the show! 

If you have some questions about the USTET na hindi pa malinaw sainyo, kindly ask me dito kasi I reply dito. I’m nice, I don;t bite.

Matagal na talaga akong excited na gumawa ng tips because this was my assurance na isa na talaga akong TOMASINO. 

I swear, once you pass the exam, you’ll know the meaning of NIRVANA.

The end.

USTET TAKERS

USTET tips and random shit

1. USTET maybe the easiest entrance exam ever but it may be easy to enter to UST but it's harder to stay in UST

2. Keep calm and just answer that test (POWER OF C)

3. Don't forget your food (IDK went to high school in UST and we were allowed to eat) and pencil and permit

4. Come early and don't get lost, UST is a big campus but mostly all buildings are found near Dapitan (main Building, AB building, Med bldg, USTHS bldg)

5. THE MAIN BUILDING IS NOT A CHURCH

6. well basic college stereotypes/basic info (idk, well basically based on observation so not that true)

Faculty of Pharmacy: home of the nerds of UST (well I'm from pharma and tbh you are shaped to be a studying genius, maybe except me cause I really don't study and barely pass my subjects)

AB/ Faculty of  Arts and letters: some people say that they have the chillest courses ever but i beg to differ. saludo ako sa mga AB (sorry biased) sadly your uniform is ughhhhh

Faculty of  Engineering: SUMMER CAPITAL (just ask the higher years)

College of Education: well you are always mistaken for a med course bcof your uniform but idk much about educ srry

College of Science: building mates with pharmacy but idk much about science another sorry

College of Architecture and College of Fine Arts and Design- GOOD LUCK TO YOUR SLEEPING PATTERNS (yep, PLATES) but CFAD has one of the best uniforms ever tbh

College of Commerce: TIGER LAIR and most cute guys are here

Conservatory of Music: home of the music students (sorry wala akong alam sa kanila)

College of Nursing: Also one of the hardest course in UST cause may cut off grade

College of Tourism and Hospitality Management: well most good looking persons are here. MOST

AMV College of Accountancy: DEBAR CAPITAL

7. just make sure that the course you are applying for is a course you like (if not sure DO CHECK THE CURRICULUM or your future subjects because that would guide you in choosing your course, wag niyo akong gayahin lol) 

good luck!

USTET Tips (College of Architecture)

1.) USTET is an easy entrance exam (compared to UPCAT and ACET)- thing is, you're not the only one who finds it easy so buckle up and study. Have this mindset: If you think you'll only get 10 mistakes, how many students will get 9 mistakes in a sea of 7000++ applicants who wants to be admitted in the college of architecture? The college only admits around 450 students each year by the way.

2.) Study MATH- people get waitlisted because of this subject (including moi). Trust me, literature, filipino, science: EASY.

3.) National Artists - Two words. UST's the only university which has produced such in the field of Architecture.

4.) You DO NOT need review centers- but if you're planning to take some chances in UPCAT and ACET then by all means do. 

5.) Don't Fret About Folded Receipts or Forms - Admins don't give a damn as long as it's readable.

6.) Propper Attire- just please? You do not need to wear dresses or short skirts, super tight pants and shirts. What you need is to be comfortable during the exam. 

7.) Visual Exam- No I am not talking about an eye test. It's a test of how much your imagination works. Example of such test here: http://www.we-r-here.com/cad_08/tutorials/level_3/images/isometric_dwg.gif

8.) Pray- it works
