Vacation is over. Start preparing for UPCAT now!

Ok.   You're back now from a great time at the beach. Time to get  real now. Time to start thinking about themore serious thing of preparing for college. If you're thinking UP, Ateneo, or De La Salle, you'd better start thinking of passing their college admission tests (CATs)

UPCAT is scheduled on August, 5 months from now. Depending on your "mental condition" now, you may need anything from 5 months to 1 month.

If you've been a pretty good student in high school, you could get by with a month of intensive test preparation. Otherwise, if you barely passed your English, math, and science courses, 5 months may not even be enough, sorry.

First thing to do now is to find out how well-prepared, or how ill-prepared you are. And the best way to find out is to test yourself. Testing doesn't only mean finding out if you can solve problems in algebra or geometry.  Like other CATs, UPCAT is a timed, i.e., you have something like 5 hours to complete it. So you need to find out too how quickly you can come up with answers. In other words, you need to take simulated tests, which puts you in time pressure.

And where do you go for this kind of testing?

Well, sign up for a FREE 15-day trial period at prep4college  ( www.prep4college.net), the online test preparation. Take lots of tests for 15 days. At the end of the period, you'll know your test scores and averages in major test subjects. You'll get a good picture of your current state of preparation, and you can decide whether to sign up for  a longer review period or not.
