    Study Notes

    Test Taking Strategies

    • Before the test, understand the question structure and the expected answer type.
    • Match concepts to primary ideas of the subject.
    • Identify the test format.
    • Practice with sample questions.
    • Set a time limit for each part of the test.
    • Start with easier questions to maximize time.
    • Read questions carefully before answering.
    • If time permits, proofread answers before submission.
    • Stay calm and confident.
    • Use deep breaths to manage nervousness.
    • Maintain a positive outlook.
    • Believe in yourself and your preparation.

    Test I - Quantitative Ability

    • Question 1: Total value of black tiles is -30, white tiles +30.
    • Question 2: 105=100,000, 107=10,000,000.
    • Question 3: 20% discount of the first book is ₱300, but Mathon received a discount of only ₱15, so the original price was ₱15x20=₱300. The discount of the second book is also ₱300, so the original price difference is ₱300x5=₱1500.
    • Question 4: The order of the events in the passage: Jason wanted to plant a garden, he cleared the area of weeds and rocks, dug holes for seeds, placed seeds in holes, covered the soil, watered the soil, and put a fence around the garden.
    • Question 5: The excerpt suggests that the doll-maker is sinister and has a secret collection of dolls, with a gemstone eye each. The little girl is alone, which makes her an easy target for the doll-maker.

    Test II - Reading Ability

    • The passage describes Quiapo as a market full of unique items. The doll-maker's hidden dolls are made of expensive materials.
    • Question 26: The passage hints that the doll-maker's true intentions are hidden, as things are not always as they seem.
    • The Industrial Revolution was a period of significant changes in manufacturing, transportation, and urbanization. The steam engine played a major role in revolutionizing transportation.
    • Question 28: The steam engine revolutionized transportation by powering locomotives and steamships, leading to faster and more efficient travel.
    • Question 29: Marilou loves spending her weekends at the library.
    • Question 30: Marilou enjoys spending time at the library because she loves exploring books.

    Test III - Scientific Ability

    • Question 1: The graph displays the annual total rainfall for the Philippines from 1991 - 2022. The highest rainfall was recorded in 2000 and 2008.
    • Question 2: The experiment studies the effect of fertilizer on tomato growth, making it the Variable X.
    • Question 3: The Venn diagram demonstrates shared characteristics between materials X and Y, indicating that material X is iron and material Y is copper.
    • Question 4: The experiment aims to determine how the angle of a ramp affects the distance a skateboard travels. By varying the ramp angle while keeping other factors constant, the most accurate results can be achieved.
    • Question 5: The small brown flies are decomposers, breaking down fruit and returning nutrients to the soil.
    • Question 6: The ratio of saltwater to salt is 1500g/50g = 30. To produce 10g of salt, you need 30x10=300g of seawater.
    • Question 7: The experiment aims to find out if water temperature impacts sugar dissolution. By using the same amount of sugar in each cup of water at different temperatures and stirring them for the same amount of time, the most accurate results can be achieved.
    • Question 8: The table details the hardness of four rock samples compared to other materials. The results indicate sample 4 is the softest as it can be scratched by all other samples.
    • Question 9: Carrie's fastest walking speed is represented by the steepest line segment on the graph.
    • Question 10: In a phase diagram, the coexistence of solid and gas phases occurs at the triple point, which is marked by point D. However, A, D, and E represent areas where both phases can be present at different temperatures and pressures.
    • Question 11: Class 3 levers are characterized by their point of effort being between the fulcrum and load. Examples include scissors, pliers, tweezers, and fishing rods.
    • Question 12: Locations A and B are likely to have similar climates due to their proximity and similar latitude.
