TANYAW HAT TO DO BEFORE THE EXAMS...
1. Know the coverage of the entrance exams in each of the schools where you
are applying for admission. ‘the usual coverage is English-Math-Science.
‘Somme schools require non-verbal tests:
2. Go over your textbooks and class notes, and attend a good review class. A
review class will give you a comprehensive summary of your major high school
ith the different types of test
questions and teach you the corresponding techniques and strategies for
enswering them. Thus you will feel more confident and less nervous during
the actual exams. You won't waste precious time analyzing and understanding
subjects. Tt will also familiarize you
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 can greatly
improve your chances for admission by performing well in the exams.
4. When you get your Test Permit, check if it was properly accomplished. Does
it have 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 jacket
because it's hard to take an exam when you're shivering.
Ts there a CR nearby? Familiarize yourself with the location so that you will
not waste time looking for it at the time of need.
© Prepare your pencils and erasers ahead of time. Is your pencil the
prescribed brand and number? Does the eraser erase easily or does it leave
smudges?
7. You will not be allowed to go out and eat during the exams.
Engineering Student Council Academics Committee 2006-2007
TIPS.ESC. Engineering Student Council Academics Committe 2006-2007
8. Prepare yourself psychologically by being positive and optimistic. Do not
allow any emotional interference before your exams. Ex., this is not the time
to be quarrelling with your best friend or mother or MU!
9. Keep reviewing your textbooks, class notes, review materials and simulated
tests several days before your exams.
10. Sleep well on the eve of your exams. Lack of sleep greatly impairs memory
and concentration:
AY AV/ HAT TO DO ON THE DAY OF YOUR EXAMS...
1. Eat a moderate meal before leaving 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 depriving 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, sharpener, and a
reliable watch: The watch is very helpful in pacing yourself during the exam.
3. Leave your house early and give allowance for traffic jams. The roads and
Streets surrounding UP and Ateneo have massive traffic jams during
entrance exams.
TPs. 3ESC
ESE. Engineering Student Council Academics Committee 2006-2007
W HAT 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 to instructions carefully
3. Pace yourself. Don't waste time on difficult questions - skip them and go
back later. But when skipping, make sure that your succeeding answers still
match the questions. [j.e. make sure that your Answer no.5 is for Question
no. 5]
4. Most exams are “right minus a fraction of the wrong.” [e.g. a wrong answer
can be given a weight of + point only instead of 1 point. If you wish to guess,
guess intelligently.]
5. Review your work if you still have time.
6. Be honest. Don't glance at your seatmate's answers because he may have a
different set of questions.

TESTWISENESS
10 Techniques to Get a Higher Score
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 con pace
yourself accordingly.
Example:
Nos.1-60 Science --60 questions 50 minutes
Nes.61-120 —Math 60 questions 70 minutes
Nos. 121-180 Reading Comprehension ~-60 questions —45 minutes
Nos. 181-250 —Language Proficiency ~-70 questions —30 minutes
Listen to instructions carefully. Answer the easy questions first, and then tackle the
hard ones. Don't spend too much time on the hard questions ~ go back later if there's
time.
Check frequently (eg. every 10 items) to make sure that your answer matches the
corresponding questions, more so after you have skipped some items. Example: Does
‘Answer No.10 correspond to Question No. 10?
Look for shortcuts and avoid the length computations in solving Math problems.
‘Some questions can be answered through common sense and mental calculation.
Example:
The 140 students in the PE class were made to line up according to their class
numbers, and then told to count of *1-2" and divide themselves into two lines. All the
1's were in the first line: all the 2's were in the second line. In which ine wes Student
No, 1227
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 No. 122 was in the second line
‘Some questions are easier to solve when visualized with the use of a diagram.
Example:
TIPSPSG. Engineering Student Covncil ‘Academics Commitee 2006-2007
The town of Marabut is located along Marikina Highway. The town of Caranglan is
west of Marabut. Sarangoni is east of Caranglan, but west of Marabut. Daraga is east
of Rajamon, but west of Sarangani and Caranglan. Which town is the farthest west?
First step: Drawa line to locate the relati
position of each town.
“The town of Caranglan is west of Marabut." So mark their respective locations on
‘the line.
West cH™ East
Next Step: Place the other towns in their correct order.
west rR ° He s mf East
‘Answer: ‘The town farthest west is Rajamon.
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 guesses can raise your score, and every
wrong answer you can cross out will improve your chances of guessing correctly. See
‘your English Reviewer for examples of the use of “POE.”
9. Watch out for tricks and traps. These are purposely included by the test-makers to
confuse you and to test how clever you really are.
Example 1: Violation of the rule of "parallel structures*
“Eat, drink and singing -that's what men usualy do in beerhouses.*
Explanation: “Singing” should be “sing
Example 2: Insertion of a clause or phrase to confuse you about subject-verb agreement
“Many politician, in their desire to win an election, makes grandiose promises to
voters.
Explanation: The subject is “politicians,” so the verb should be "make."
Example 3: Use of an inverted sentence structure ~ the verb comes before the subject
“In the middle of vast cornfields stand the house where T 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 securely with tape, the worker made
sure that the fragile figurines would not be broken.”
TIPS. “ESC™
wo SE. Engineering Student Cowncit Academics Commi
2006-2007,
Explanation: This sentence gives the impression that it's the worker that was wrapped in
oper ands bound with tape
10. When answering questions that determine your ability to organize phrases or
sentences, look for keywords that will help your answer the question rightaway
without thinking exhaustively.
Example: a, Secondly, they had no leader.
b. Firstly, the workers were not united.
«Finally, they did not have the support of their families.
d. Thirdly, they had no funds to tide them over.
From the beginning, it looked like the workers! strike was doomed to fal
‘Answer choices: 1. abdec
2. ebead
3.deabe
4. ebade
There are several ways of approaching this question.
‘One way is the “Process of Elimination: *
Eliminate Answer Choice No. right away because it starts with “a (‘Secondly’).
Eliminate Answer Choice No.2 right avay because it starts with *e” Final’)
Eliminate Answer Choice No.3 right away because it starts with “d” (Thirdly").
‘Answer Choice No. 4is the only one lft, soit must be the right choice.
Another way is by analyzing the sequence of some keywords and matching them with the
answer choices:
Note the following: “Firstly. isb;
*Secondly.." isa:
“Thirdly.” isd.
$0 find out which among the answer choices has the sequence "b-a-d" and you will
note that only Answer Choice No. 4 contains that sequence.
