Getting ready for college entrance exams

Tweet

I am a senior in an exclusive school for girls in the Philippines. In just a few weeks, we, seniors, will be taking the UP College Admissions Test. After all those mind-draining review sessions, we will finally take the first major exam which will be followed by the ACET. I have suggestions for my fellow seniors which I hope will greatly help them for the exam. 1.) Do not cram. Make sure you are well- prepared. Never study on the night before the exam. Relax. Take it easy. Don't strain you brain too much. 2.) On the day of the exam, do not eat too much. When you are really full, your brain would focus more on the functions of your digestive system rather thus making it hard to think. 3.) On the week of the exam, try to make sure your sleeping habits are regular. This will rest your brain and prepare it for the exam. 4.) If you bring food on the exam day, do not drink coffee or energy drinks. Don't bring too much carbs. Coffee and energy drinks may give you energy for a period of time but once that energy wears out, you'd be twice as tired as you originally were. Carbs on the other hand will make you sleepy. Instead, I suggest your bring healthy food like apples, oranges, yogurt, etc. 5.) When you memorize formulas, try to keep them in a separate sheet of paper. It will be easier to memorize and more organized. 6.) Never ever forget your exam permit and all your requirements. 7.) Be on time. 8.) Never panic. If you don't know the answer to a question, be calm. Move on to the next question. Answer the questions you know first. 9.) Pray.:) Asking guidance from the Lord above won't hurt. 10.) To get into your dream school, focus on the subjects that a school really looks at. UP focuses more on Science and Filipino. ADMU focuses more on Math, English and the essay portion. DLSU focuses more on English. UST focuses on Science. Those are few of the tips I can give you. Feel free to add more or give suggestions. And good luck to all of us. God bless!
