Annually held in the first weekend of August, the state university exam brings students to different testing centers scattered all over the country

MANILA, Philippines – The entrance exam season has begun for most senior high school students in search of a university after graduation.

Many test-takers have on their list the University of the Philippines College Admission Test, more popularly known as the UPCAT.

Annually held in the first weekend of August, the state university exam brings students to different testing centers scattered all over the country. An estimated 83,000 students are expected to flock to 82 examination centers.

Changes in this year’s test are expected — among them, the removal of the essay portion that surprised many test-takers last year.  The test will however continue to have 4 parts: Language Proficiency, Reading Comprehension, Science, and Mathematics.

Here are some scenes during the UPCAT. Photos by Mark Demayo & Mic Villamayor.
