Hello There!: Section 1: Starting Out

Hello There!
Thank you so much for checking out Enzo's Super Ultra Amazing 1GB Training Review
Center Dumpster Fire V1 (great name, no?)
This Reviewer Dump is practically a collection of all of the CET Reviewers made
available by the cool upperclassmen who’ve posted mini-compilations onto twt. I’ve
basically organized it and added some reviewers from previous school years.
If you have no idea how to traverse this pretty big reviewer dump, here’s a guide that
you can follow so that you don’t get lost or get confused.
Section 1: Starting Out
I suggest that you spend a fair amount of time scanning through all the material,
checking out what’s available here for a good 5-10 minutes.
Afterward, you can go ahead and do a Diagnostic Test, in which you’ll answer all
the items within the time limit, to get a feel of your test-taking abilities. I recommend
choosing the UPCAT 2015 Set A tests or the ACET 2015 Set A, whichever you may
fancy (I would’ve recommended the DCAT 2014 as well, however I couldn’t find the
answer key for it, so it wouldn’t be a good diagnostic)
Check the answers, and don’t worry if you get a score below expectations, it’s
fine. However, what you should do is go back to the items you missed, and list down
their respective topics. It should give an overview on which topics you’ve mastered and
have yet to master.
That should be it for day 1, I wouldn’t really recommend super-studying right after
checking, as most of these diagnostics would take about 3-4 hours, just like in a real
CET setting. Chill, because the long haul’s about to begin.
Section 2: Actual Studying
At this point, you’re actually free to do a lot of things. You could read some
material and start reviewing previous concepts, or you could keep taking other tests and
get a feel for it. You could read the 2-3 page handouts, or maybe indulge in the bast
selection of textbooks here.
Part 1: Math
Honestly, the trick here is just taking the exercises, since the easiest way to learn
math is thru practice and application. Though I suggest checking out the JHS Math
Formulas since they provide a good review of the formulas and concepts we’ve learnt
all throughout junior high, as well as No Bullsh*t Guide to Math and Physics (it’s pretty
great). You should keep taking tests, learn your weaknesses and focus on those areas
for review.
After focusing on your weaknesses, the next aspect you should direct your
attention to is your mathematical speed. Lots of upperclassmen have claimed that the
Math section of most tests are in fact doable and aren’t usually mind games or complex
problems. The problem is, however, that most of the items take a long time to finish,
and they panic because of the time pressure. It would be optimal to strengthen your
foundations on arithmetic, being able to mental math easy ones and quickly solving
hard arithmetic.
Part 2: Language
This time, in order to expand your horizons on English and Filipino, you need to
read, a lot. This helps both the Reading Comprehension and the Language Proficiency
sections of the test, so make sure to read books with intermediate to advanced
vocabulary, deep storytelling and visible grammatical cohesion (try to avoid books filled
with the uh’s and the …’s)
Grammar-wise, it’s pretty important to read over most of the rules and
understanding the examples given. The Complete English Grammar Rules Book is a
good reference, should you be confused about certain aspects of speech (I don’t
recommend read through all of it, especially in one sitting or in a few days. You probably
won’t remember the specific rules and exceptions)
Then again, all of this studying would be ineffective if you don’t practice it. Start
by using the vocabulary that you’ve picked up and use it in your day-to-day
conversations. Write a journal, watch movies and stuff. Lastly, take the tests and
quizzes here, so that you’re prepared for the test setting as well.
Part 3: Science
For Science, memorization and understanding is key. I think Science places a

bigger stress on learning the material, since their tests mostly comprise of concepts and
terms. This isn’t the case with Mathematics in Chemistry and Physics, and for that
section, you have to treat it like learning Math, practicing the problems more and more.
My suggestion is check out the PowerPoints, read the books, take the tests.
Section 3: Putting it All Together
As this point, we should move onto taking the Complete Tests Again, preferably
taking them once a day. Scanning through your notes everyday is optimal, and you
should look to improve your test taking abilities, such as elimination, quick
computations, taking context from other questions, skipping and what not. The Test-
Taking Strategies may offer good insight on what to do before and during the exams.
Section 4: Maintenance
You may or may not lose the progress you’ve made this summer (or not idk), so
it’s still pretty essential to take a look back on your lectures, the tests and your
weaknesses. You may allot less time for this since school’s probably about to start, but
don’t forget the things you’ve learnt.
