Hi! I wanted to ask a few questions about the UPCAT since I'm currently reviewing and I'm honestly overthinking a lot

1. Was the Math subtest really mostly just foundations/basic concepts, or were there a lot of difficult questions too?
2. What were the most common Math topics that appeared?
3. Did you notice any topics that appeared more than once or were heavily tested?
4. Can context clues from the question help you solve some problems even if you forget the exact formula?
5. Were there many long word problems, or were most questions straightforward?
6. How difficult was the time pressure for Math?
7. And were the computations manageable mentally?
8. Were there trick questions, or were they mostly testing if you knew the concepts?
9. What formulas should I absolutely memorize before taking the UPCAT?
10. If you could go back, what Math topics would you spend more time reviewing?
11. Were there questions that could be answered through logic or estimation instead of full computation?
12. How important was reading the question carefully? Were there many questions designed to mislead you?
13. Is mastering the basics enough to get a high score, or should I also study advanced topics?
14. Which topic surprised you the most on the exam?
15. What advice would you give someone who's average at Math but wants to do well in the UPCAT?

I'd really appreciate any tips or experiences you can share. Thank you so muchhh po 🫶 you are helping an overthinker and someone who doubts herself too much

Hello po! Ano po usually yung mga topics na madalas lumabas? Mas focused ba siya sa algebra, geometry, trigonometry, statistics, or may halo-halo talaga?

In terms of difficulty, gaano po siya kahirap? Madalas ba siyang puro mahahabang solving, or more on analyzing the question and applying concepts? May mga shortcut or techniques ba na helpful dahil sa time pressure?

May mga topics po ba na sobrang worth i-prioritize kasi halos every year lumalabas? At ano po yung mga types of questions na pinakanahirapan kayo or ng karamihan sa mga nag-take?

Lastly, kung magre-review po ngayon, ano yung mga dapat talagang ma-master para maging prepared sa Math section?
