The Compiled UPCAT Questions is a collection of UPCAT review questions put
together by former UP Proctors and Examiners throughout the years.
It is by no means a leakage... it’s just a compilation based on the feedbacks of
students about the test. There is no guarantee that the same questions will appear in
the next UPCAT. However, studying these questions will give you an idea of what
the UPCAT contains and how to go about it.

So why are we giving this for free?


I’ll cut the chase and get straight to the point. By giving you the Compiled UPCAT
Questions for free, you will know that we are providing you quality materials that
you can use right away.
We want you to trust us.
We want to build a relationship with you. And through our materials and review
program, we want you to pass UPCAT and other college entrance tests.
That’s why we want you to enroll in the Review Masters UPCAT Review
Program.
We believe that through the complete UPCAT review program, you can be more
prepared to take the UPCAT and other entrance exams.
In addition to this, we want you to have an idea of what questions and topics to
expect when you take the UPCAT. It’s better to be prepared than to be caught
off-guard.
Thousands of students have already passed UP by using the Review Masters
website (https://www.upcatreview.com) and materials (we have about 2000 passers
for the past 3 years). Now your time has come to be one of them.

How to use this material


What I suggest is that you print this compiled UPCAT Questions and then answer it
as if you are taking the exam. Give yourself about 1 1⁄2 hours for the test.
After answering, check your work using the provided answer key. You may visit
our Facebook page if ever you have questions on some of the items in the
compilation.
You may also go to the Online Review Portal to take an automated version of the
test.

But the most important thing that you really need...


Reviewing for the test is just one of the factors so you can pass the UPCAT. But I
believe that the most essential factor that you need in order to pass UP is your
strong DaD – DESIRE and DETERMINATION. No amount of review can help
you if you do not want to pass and you are not determined to do everything to
succeed.
So do everything to prepare yourself for UPCAT. Enroll in our review program. We
at Review Masters are here to help you Pass UPCAT – the Sure Way!
All for the best!
