I wonder what my life would look like if I hadn't gone to AHEAD Tutorial & Review for my college…read morepreparation classes and thereby, gained admission into the country's foremost university (my view is skewed): the Ateneo de Manila University! Seriously. I have to admit, there were days when I went to classes just to have fun with friends and eat out afterwards, but for the most part I know that I must have picked up something and gotten it right. The teachers are hardworking and patient and the classrooms are comfortable and air-conditioned.

This tuturial/review centre is renowned for their very efficient tutors and instructors. Their…read morereview books are also very popular, especially to high school students preparing for college entrance exams. I initially found their summer review for the upcoming college entrance exams a bit too expensive. If I recall correctly, that was about Php 19,000.00 including the books and other review materials. In retrospect, it would've been worth it. Their facilities are great and their instructors are very good at their jobs too. I just took their refresher course which was much much cheaper at only Php 6,000.00. I think it was around 5-8 sessions of refresher review classes. What we did basically was we did a rehash of what they taught during the summer review. Fortunately, all the topics they covered was also discussed by my high school teachers. The instructors were also very keen on asking and answering questions. I also bought their review booklets for me to review at home. I'd say I got value for my money. And I also passed the entrance exams.

Before I had taken the UPCAT, I was hesitant if I were to take review classes or just study on my…read moreown. Most of the review classes I browsed had very far venues from my place of residence, but thankfully, I found out about UPLink! They had numerous venues, and the one I had chosen was in UP Diliman itself. UPLink offered reasonable prices and quality teaching/reviewing methods. Most of their tutors/professors/reviewers came from UP and Ateneo, so you can be assured that the tutees will be in great hands! At the first day of the review classes back in 2013, they gave us a large paper binder, complete with all the subjects that were to be reviewed and some exercises to help us prepare. I can say that the reviews helped a little bit, but the tests were really different. However, let me make this clear: passing your CETs (College Entrance Tests) does not depend on the tutorial center! But, UPLink did their best in refreshing my forgotten lessons and prepared me well enough to pass all my CETs. They also offer refresher lessons before your big day, and a mock test wherein you can determine how prepared you are. (I think I failed that mock test, hihi. But regardless, I passed all my CETs as mentioned.) Besides CETs, they also offer NMAT , LET, Civil Service and other big examination reviews. The professors/reviwers/student ambassadors were all very kind and helpful during the review classes.

I'm not the best student, I don't even remember if I studied anything on my own in high school, I…read moreonly decided to care (a little) about my grades as a last ditch effort on my last year of high school. I've tried a bunch of tutors and nothing seemed to work, it was either the teacher was too busy, or he/she indulged my laziness. It was only when I decided to enroll in ACTS that I realized the point of going to tutor. Since I didn't listen much in school, I relied on the experts of the tutorial center to explain to me, in understandable terms, whatever my physics and trigonometry teachers couldn't. In fact, they were so good, I ended up enjoying my trips to tutor and showing off my brand knew know-how whenever I got to school the next day.

Without having enrolled in Loyola Students Center, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have been accepted…read moreinto AdMU! I studied in another country for one year of college, but since I was in an international school, there was some overlapping of curriculum, and when I came back to the Philippines I wasn't delayed or anything. I still missed a lot of lessons though, especially the ones in Filipino and Social Studies, so I chose to enroll in a review center over the summer with my brother. I remember the base rate for the package we availed of being P10,000, but since we enrolled with a bunch of friends it was brought down to around P8,000 I think. Our lessons were 5 afternoons a week, for 4 hours, and I really learned a lot! The instructors were helpful and taught well, and they gave tests at the end of every session so we would know where to focus our studies on. The books you get from enrolling are helpful by themselves, too.

LSC Review Center is probably one of the main reasons why I got into Ateneo. I really wanted to get…read moreinto either one of the top 4 universities here in the Philippines, but I was so "praning" that time so I thought I would just fail everything. Because of this mentality, I decided to do research on the different review centers that they had in Manila and I stumbled upon LSC. LSC is said to provide the most comprehensive and highest quality tutorials and review services to incoming college students and they were one of the cheapest review centers during that time. I was able to meet the requirements to avail of the discount. I applied with five of my friends so I only had to pay 8,000 pesos for the review services and the complementary books. The venue for the tutorial classes were really comfortable. It was big enough to accommodate all of the students and the class room was air conditioned. The instructors were also very efficient and helpful and they would often give us tips on how we should answer our CETs.
