eek..! check out what i've found out recently about taking the college admission test in ateneo and my reactions after...
What are the criteria for admission?
The Committee on Admission and Aid considers the applicant’s ACET results, high school grades, recommendations, extra - & co-curricular activities and all other information in the application form. There is no numerical weight for each.

ackk!! curse you holy angel for giving me line of seven!!..aiyo, it's my fault anyways.. xP
How are high school grades evaluated when high schools differ in grading system?
The processing of applications is done by school. The Committee gets an idea of a particular school’s grading system by comparing the grades of the applicants within the school.

bwiset ka talaga holy ka...gusto mo lang niyan kaming mag college sa inyo..! pwe!!
What is the ACET?
The ACET, or the Ateneo College Entrance Test, is a test requirement for admission to the undergraduate program of the Loyola Schools of the Ateneo de Manila University.
sus easy lang siguro ito.. :D

Is it hard?
Yes. You really have to prepare well for it.
whaat?!?! ni hindi nga ako nag cocollege review eh..!! paano na ako..?! T____T
But they say it’s the hardest college entrance test in the …
The questions for the ACET are skewed for above-average students, and the test is conducted under time pressure.
o tingnan niyo mga walang hiya kayo..! sana sinabi niyo agad para nakapag review na ako!!
Above-average? But I think I’m just an average student..
Don’t get me wrong. When I say above average, I do not mean you need an IQ of 200 to pass. If you prepare well, and take the test well, you’ll do well.
eh yun na nga eh...if i only knew it earlier then i could've prepared for that..
Time pressure! I’ve heard about that. Is it true that the ACET isn’t designed to be finished?
It isn’t designed to be finished. That’s true. However, the ACET CAN BE FINISHED.
How much does the ACET figure in deciding my Ateneo application?
Quite a lot. Of course, the Ateneo also looks at your high school grades, recommendations and your essay. A high ACET score helps your case a lot, though.
*cursing holy angel on my mind..*
What about my essay?
-Your Ateneo application form has an essay question. -Be truthful and candid. Make yourself known. Shine.
chicken :P
What sort of questions does the ACET have?
The ACET has multiple-choice questions only. They ask you to bring pencils so you can shade little circles or squares. The test is fed into a scantron-thing as far as I know.
Is there an essay portion?
There is an essay part to test your writing ability and coherence of thought.
How many questions are there in total?
I don’t know. This varies from year to year. Besides, you will not need to keep track of how many questions there are.
Is there a section in Filipino?
As of this writing, none.
great..now i have to work on my english..
How do I prepare for the ACET?
You mean you haven’t prepared yet? Then what were all those years in lower, middle, and high school for? Seriously speaking, taking a college review seminar or buying one of those tester books won’t really mean anything unless you have a decent background already. In my opinion, preparation for the ACET is predicated on sufficient preparation PRIOR TO APPLYING TO THE ATENEO (meaning, before you even get your application form).
you want a punch on your big flat nose?!? damn it i'll work on that..!
Are we allowed to bring scratch paper and calculators to the ACET?
Scratch paper will be provided. Calculators and other electronic devices are not allowed.
whooshoo!! thanks to kumon math!! bwhahaha..
so there..i don't know how to react - if i wanted to scream or get angry..i texted sayote and told her all about this..she said no doubt i'll pass since i have moolah but hello?!? why waste money if i'm lazy with my studies..? alot of people know how beautiful and highly standardized university ateneo is..i really wanted to go there but knowing these stuffs just makes me anxious..it's like i don't have any chance to go there intellectually..
so..no choice talaga..sa UST na lang ako..but that doesn't mean i'm not an atenista in terms of UAAP!! :))
