Important distinctions
Read the exam context carefully
PUP administers; iApply is the application system
The iApply page supplies the current test identity and application context, but the University is the administering institution.
Six independent review areas
English, Filipino, Mathematics, Science, Abstract and Logical Reasoning, and General Information are ExamPede organization, not a PUP-issued blueprint.
Reported English subtests are not a specification
The PUP news article relays examinee remarks about English subtests; it does not publish a complete subject list or format.
Keep separate admission pathways separate
This route covers regular incoming-first-year PUPCET preparation and does not silently absorb OUS, transferee, graduate, law, or laboratory-high-school processes.
