THE COLLEGE entrance exam is supposed to be the test to beat for high school graduates to get into top universities like UST. Supposedly, the exam is meant to admit only the best students and the cream of the crop.

But is that true of the UST Entrance Test (Ustet)?

No, said several incoming freshmen. Yes, said the Office for Student Admissions (Ofad).

“The Ustet was really easy since most of the questions were just basic knowledge in high school,” Michael Dy, an incoming Medical Technology freshman, told the Varsitarian.

Also, every start of the academic year, Thomasians, mostly freshmen, would discuss the Ustet in the Thomasian online forum www.ustexchange.com. Many would comment how the Ustet is easy to pass compared with other college entrance exams.

“The Ustet was very easy when I took it,” Communication Arts junior Michelle Lopez said. “And it seems until now that the University’s entrance test is the same.”

Teachers and professors said that based on the quality of freshmen admitted to UST, the Ustet might not be doing its job.

Faculty of Arts and Letters and Graduate School Prof. Florentino Hornedo said he has doubts about the quality of Ustet.

“Most of the freshmen that I have handled were very poor in language proficiency and they do not even know how to read properly,”Hornedo said. “The quality that we strive for must show in the true abilities of students who are admitted in UST because any lack of quality somewhere along the line is a point against the entrance test’s quality.”

i also took the entrance exam at UST right around the same time i before i took the one for mapua... surprisingly though, madali nga sa UST but MAPUA's entrance exam is exceptionally difficult obviously at the MATH part, lahat word problems at analysis! but other sections are quite simple....

[prize]

Honestly, mas mahirap makapasa sa UST compare sa MIT. But when it comes to the industry(companies), mas attractive ang mapuans compare sa thomasians.

Pagdating sa engineers, mas attractive talaga ang mga mapuans. I don't know about the other courses though...

Please close na natin ang thread na ito baka maka attract pa ng mga trolls.

Please huwag ng gatungan pa.

Hello, what is the passing rate of entrance exam in Mapua?

[Yow. :D]

^40 percent ang passing sa mapua entrance exam. Mas mataas lang yung ibang programs like ece. Pero mind you, mahirap magsurvive pag nasa loob ka na. )

[marcelo16]

Correction po 35% na lang daw po according to prof mercado,kaya daw maraming nakakapasok at nagsa-suffer sa loob kasi pati yung average student nakakapasok.

[snow_yuki]

I agree. . . Kasi yung math part ng Mapua feeling ko kailangang i-calcu eh! Ang ayaw ko sa USTET, ang dami. Pero, I think mas madali ang entrance exam ng Mapua. . .

[revivemau5]

35% po ba talaga ang passing rate sa mapua entrance exam? sana po makasagot kagad asap!

[dethgawd]

^kalokohan yan, bat ka ba kabado kung hinde ka bulakbol at ginagawa mo mismo mga homework mo sure pass ka na

[TMgravity024]

As much as I would want to believe, parang hindi, though hindi naman sila nagkaka-layo ng difficulty level.

[dethgawd]

Couldn't agree more.

YEY meron na akong pin.

[mondee]

mas madali naman ang test sa mapua test compared to ustet, ang pahirap lang ay yung math na part

[dreamie]

math lang talaga

yung math!

I took both entrance exams sa UST and Mapua for ComSci.

resulta:

UST - Waitlist ako tapos sinabi pwede daw ako for Chemical Engineering course.
Mapua - Tumawag sakin registrar sinabi kahit anong course pwede kong kunin.

IMO, mas mahirap ang exam ng Mapua kasi mas technical, pero mas maganda screening process ng UST
