USTET Tips

Tips for USTET Architecture 

The Arki building :D also the CFAD's :")

University of Santo Tomas is known for its excellence especially in Architecture. I'm one of the lucky bunch who passed last years' exam and will become this years' freshie. Sabi nga nila: "maghanda na sa walang tulugan" Arki eh! :)) I took USTET a year ago (2013), and it's surely one of my unforgettable experiences. Sa init ba naman hindi mo yun makakalimutan. 

the filing folder

What you see here is the folder given to us 2 weeks before our entrance test. It is where we put our test permit. :) Cute diba? BTW. other people still used this while enrolling so better keep yours.

Inside: Map of UST and information about scholarships.

So here it is. What's inside the filing folder. UST also gave us a bookmark - siyempre remembrance. Sa mga curious about scholarships, it can also be found there.

Architecture 

• For Arki people, may "Space Relation" (3D figures)  for CFAD courses lang to and I think other engr courses. Wala to sa Science and other courses because they won't need space relation in the future.
• There is NO DRAWING TEST in the entrance test. The Drawing test in Architecture would be given when you're "wait-listed". (the results would be out probably in January and the drawing test would be given on April.)
• Additional tips about drawing test: This year my classmate said: "They told us to draw the monument of Rizal, hindi ko nga alam ano itsura nun." Yan sabi niya sakin, pero nakapasa siya sa drawing test. :D Nabasa ko din sa ibang blogs na practice drawing these things: buildings, churches & your dream house. 

Tips for USTET (from my tumblr: http://stylebyhand.tumblr.com )

        1.Don’t forget to bring

                 -your test permit

                 -mongol No. 2 pencils + eraser

                  -snacks (madaming kainan na open, sa loob/labas ng UST

                  -Umbrella (malaki laki UST, madami daming lakad.. baka umulan/sobra init)

 2. Focus  on the test, medyo time pressure kasi ibang parts pero pag nagfocus ka naman.. there will be no problem. 


 3. Visit the church nearest you a day before the test to  ask for guidance or go to UST earlier to attend the mass there. 


 4. BTW, the Main Building (yung may cross), it is not a church  that is where med students study. Huwag mag sign of the cross doon baka may Thomasian at tawanan ka nila.


 5. Before the test, you could meet up with friends outside your building para hindi ka kabahan.


 6. Bring.. JACKET!!! para sure. Kasi yung ibang room malamig tapos yung iba hindi..  


 7. Be friendly!  Try talking to people na hindi mo kilala malay mo siya na pala yung hinahanap mong.. friend :D


 8. Don’t be nervous! Presence of mind and pray before taking the test. Good Luck and God Bless!

Author's Note: I can't say na "this is my dream school" because I'm not yet decided on what course will I take. Sa iba-ibang school, iba-ibang course yung pinili ko. So if you're still undecided on what course you'll take, just think it through and don't rush things. Wag din papapilit sa parents. Follow your heart. :)
