7:30 AM call time.
The exam was supposed to start at 8:00, but the proctor started everything at 7:50.
Unexpectedly, one of my classmates from college was also taking the University of the Philippines Graduate Placement Admission Test.
And yes — we ended up in the same room.
Exam Proper
90 minutes – Logical Reasoning
10 minutes – Break
90 minutes – Quantitative
10 minutes – Break
15 minutes – Article A
15 minutes – Article B
10 minutes – Article C
20 minutes – Article D
And to make things even more stressful:
1/4 point deduction for every wrong answer.
Pressure level: maximum. 😅
Logical Reasoning
Oh God. 😂
Just as expected, my English skills were okay… but Logic? Weak. Very weak.
Quantitative
Formulas everywhere.
So what happened to everything I studied back in school?
Gone. Forgotten. Vanished. 😭
Reading Comprehension
At first, I thought we could still go back to the previous articles after answering.
Turns out, I was wrong.
Once you move to the next article, there’s no going back anymore. One article at a time only.
And honestly, that made me panic a little.
Deep inside, I knew that only a miracle could make me pass this exam.
But at least I tried.
I let my dream school slip away without even giving myself a proper review. Work kept me too busy, so I took the exam unprepared.
Still, a part of me badly wanted to get in.
Even if it was just a passing score.
Even if I had to go through interviews and more exams afterward.
I was willing.
But who knows?
Maybe there’s still a chance.
“God, let it be. Let my dream become Your priority.”
(Selfish, I know. But once I get there, I promise I won’t be lazy anymore.)
For now, I’ll choose hope instead of expectations.
Although honestly… what’s really the difference between the two?
And if I fail?
Then I’ll try again.
And again.
And again.
