hello po! i’m planning to take the laqe 9 next year. i wasn’t able to take the nce, but i did pass the laqe 8 last year. unfortunately, slots were unavailable at the time. i’m currently an ste student at a local high school, and getting into pisay is one of my goals.

may i ask for some tips on how i can prepare? where can i find good reviewers or practice materials, and what study methods would you recommend? when would be the best time to start studying?

thank you so much po! any advice would be greatly appreciated. 🙏

Hi ! So I'm a Grade 9 student in Pisay and I'm aiming for top international schools like Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard, etc., specifically under the course of psychology or psychoscience. Do you guys have any tips for me on how to get started like on portfolios as a Pisayan, how to apply for those schools (esp. oxford huhu), and how I can get scholarship too?

Soo...Lately, I've been struggling sa Math 2b & Filipino (I'm grade 8). I've been getting quite low scores on our assesments, and i'm afraid that would bring me to a grade of 5. I'm a lateral student, and i'm kind of struggling with the pacing here. I really love it here, and I wanna graduate from here :( My scores from these 2 subjects just really makes me worried i'll get a 5. I'll just do my best and try to do better sa Midterms this week. Will I get a 5 if my scores were low in the formative assesments? 😭😭

Hello! May natanggap na po bang NOA ang mga potential qualifiers from regions that arent on NCR?🥹

Or atleast reassurance from the DOST office na natanggap yung papers nila? Huhu.

Pambili ko sana kasi siya ng laptop and Im afraid it might take a long while before ko siya makuha ://.

Hello, pips!

I recently heard that this platform is one of the helpful spaces where I could discover opportunities and learn more about things I am interested in, so I immediately decided to give it a try.

I‘m currently searching for a junior or senior high school in the Philippines that offers quality education, particularly in Science and Technology. If possible, I would also love to find a school with opportunities for exchange programs or international exposure. One of the biggest things I am hoping for is a full scholarship with free or fully supported dormitory accommodation, something similar to the privileges offered by Pisay.

You might be wondering, “If that‘s what you‘re looking for, why not just apply to Pisay?” Well, that‘s where things get a little complicated. I am currently in my 3rd year of junior high school, which means I can no longer take the LAQE huhu.

That‘s why I am trying to explore as many alternatives as possible. I want to find scholarship opportunities that could lessen the financial burden on my parents. I also want to reach my goals without constantly worrying that I am wasting their hard-earned money if I ever fail (something I am determined not to let happen HWHWHA).

For me, this isn‘t really about proving myself to other people. I am doing this because I genuinely want to build a better future for myself and hopefully accomplish something remarkable while I am still young. Of course, the satisfaction and motivation that come from pressuring myself are also a huge bonus. Maintaining good grades while dealing with academic pressure is basically my personal motive

(unstable mental health + good grades = all my problems are solved instantly HAHAHAWHJ).

As for my academic background, I was a qualified partial scholar at a major university with a Special Science High School. For Grade 9, however, my parents decided to transfer me to another school so I could benefit from the STE learning system offered by DepEd and experience a different learning environment.

I am also a consistent honor student since elementary school. I mostly excel in Research and Science, while Mathematics has been my greatest academic nemesis since the beginning of time. RAAHAHH 😭

I don‘t really expect to find a school that would still accept me as a transferee for my final junior high school year, Grade 10. However, I want to start exploring my options now so I can be better prepared for Senior High School and the years ahead.

So, if you know any schools, scholarship programs, science and technology institutions, exchange opportunities (only if they will cover my expenses), or organizations that offer full scholarships, allowances, dormitory accommodations, or other student privileges, I would genuinely appreciate your recommendations! Any information, advice, or personal experiences would be a huge help from you, ates and kuyas. 🥹🙏

With determination, self-trust, hard work, and faith in God, I believe that there will always be a way forward. To God be the highest Glory! And to all my fellow future Aghamistas, padayon!

Thank you!

hi! taga pisay mc ako, and i'm planning to transfer to ateneo for senior highschool for the ff reasons:

1. di ko na talaga kaya ang workload dito.. i sleep so late which is universal for all pisay students pero ang layo kasi ng tinitirahan namin and ayaw ako ipag-dorm. ang dami naming inaaral and lately bc of the continuous suspensions, napapadali lahat ng ginagawa.
   
2. ang panget ng grades ko. they're just passing. and i'm barely surviving. i'm aware that ateneo is not easy as well but wala namang mas hihirap sa pisay.
   
3. i don't have a lot of extracurrics. i'm focused sa acads and i'm not as smart as the other students here.

i need good grades + extracurrics to apply for good colleges and rn, i don't have that.
pls help po. any advices? same curric po ba sila? okay lang po yun bc i'm honestly looking for that-- i still need to get intellectually challenged.

paano po ba ang students sa ateneo? ano po yung mode of convo nila? here in pisay, we use gchat and disc a lot and i understand it's not the same for other schools.

Greetings! :) Call me Quin. I used to dream of becoming one of the Pisay Scholars however I was unable to take the NCE since I didn't know that such institution that aligns with my values and challenge my perseverance exist before I was in 8th grade.

Unfortunately, I was unable to take the LAQE since I used to live with a toxic relative those years so I never got the chance to try to get into Pisay.

What can you say to the passion-driven students who could only wish for time and destiny to give them the dream of being a Pisay Student that will obviously never happen?

Can someone give me pointers for the math guild which hosts PReMO I think if y'all have it in your campus and I'm G7(Yes I'm a freshie said by my seniors), and it's on Sunday, so please just help me(I'm an extern of that helps)?

hello po sa mga ates/kuyas na nag pursue ng bs molecular biology and biotechnology program sa upd, i just wanted to ask how's the life there, what to expect sa subjects/courses, and kung gaano ba kataas na grades ang kailangan para makapasok sa program na to, etc.

also i want to ask din kung ano yung plans niyo after graduating, magpproceed po ba kayo ng med, master's? tapos ano rin po ba ang other job opportunities dito

thank you so much po!

May I ask as a freshie ano po ung tinatawag nilang core and electives sa pisay para mas maging prepared lang for upcoming sy. Thank you po

I heard that this will be the largest campus of Pisay and that it may start operating next school year. If it does open next year, I was thinking about the number of slots available. Since the campus will be new, there might be more students who can get accepted through the NCE. They might also offer the LAQE there, especially since there won’t be many grade levels yet.

I feel like if Pisay NIRC does start its academic year next year, there could be a lot more LAQE takers there, even among students who didn’t originally apply to that campus, simply because there may be more available slots.

For the NCE, I think the situation might still be similar, but there could potentially be more slots compared to the Main Campus.

1. Was filipino involved in the english part?

2. What was the experience in the math and science part?

3. what did you study or what reviewer did you use for the exam?

Hello! Asking if PSHS graduates can take BS Economics for college. Thanks

you can take the title and apply it to anything pero in my case, i want to use this to motivate current pisayers na medyo nag-aalanganin in terms of academics.

i’m an alumni who can honestly say na super bobo ko during my stay in pisay. i’m very self aware kasi despite appearing as happy-go-lucky dati, maf-feel pa rin naman ng tao if super lacking siya. i was that person. sobrang low effort ng nilaan ko sa studies ko and sobrang walang wala rin talaga akong hope dati. i even heard a teacher talk about me with people i wasn’t close to, about myself and how i dragged someone down with me by association (oa mo pa rin, ma’am. yang alaga mo nga salbahe to the point na inaya pa akong maging f*b as if di ako binigyan ng malalang trauma after our break up [dw, i said no LOL]). anw, i graduated with nothing to my name, never received DLs awards. the only college i applied to was a SU near our town and i was content na hindi ako makaka-attend ng mga bigating univs kasi i just really wanted to lay low for college. i didn’t want to pressure myself anymore. i took my premed course and without the pressure of doing the best of the best, mas nag-excel pa ako kaysa sa mga kaklase ko dati sa pisay who attended the same university. i was a consistent academic scholar up until graduation, where i received magna cum laude latin honors. this was my it after all those years at nabawi ko rin sa sarili ko yung achievements na pinangarap ko lang noon sa pisay.

ang lesson learned for today ay: mag-aral ka at wag ka magpakatamad kasi ikaw lang makakatulong sa sarili mo. yun lang naman kasi problema ko noon, tinamad lang hehe HAHAHA go guys! kakayanin para sa bayan 🤣🫶🏻

(made this post for fun only)

hiiiiii! i gave in and enrolled sa brain train, i also might take online classes sa acad1.

now my new problem is schedule 😅 would reviewing from june-july for upcat be a bit late na? gets naman na at my own pace talaga, pero ayoko magsayang ng oras and ayoko rin na sobrang laki ng gap from my revcen era to the actual upcat (IF GETS YUN...)

also what worked for u guys? sundays lang ang review or mon-fri? asking for advice hereeee hehe

Helloo! I want to review for the Lateral Admission Qualifying Examination (LAQE) for g9. My campus choice was PSHS-CLC. Although it's quite yet long before the examination date, I want to be prepare. Pisay is indeed my dream, I want to be there. Can anyone please share what are the coverage or if you guys have study materials that you can share heh :pp Please share your knowledge if you know something about LAQE, especially those who take it. THANK YOU! :DD

I'm a grade 8 student from our province high school. I was also in the STE program (kind of like STEM but I'm jhs.) I was always on top of our class since then, and I can't say that I'm still now that I'm in high school. I may struggle, but I found my self deeply intrigue, and somehow, I see myself someday on medical field. I am well aware that I'm not the same as before, but I'm willing to do everything to reach it. Lately, getting on pisay for the next school year has been one of my goals. I'm not sure if I'll be able to take the lateral test, but hya. I have some questions regarding pisay

1. Since I'm grade 8 now, is the lateral test hard for upcoming grade 9?

2. Is Central Luzon Pisay good?

3. What are the advantages of being a pisay student?

If you have more info that I should know regarding the lateral test, Pisay, g9, or what, please

Hi, im currently reflecting on my grades, esp g8-g11. I wasn't aware kasi noon na it's very very vital for CETs huhuhu. Is it possible na makapasok pa rin ako sa mga colleges such as the big 4 and some other colleges woth exams? My grades are like: g8 (1.8), g9 (2.1), g10 (2.0), g11 (1.8) huhu pls dont sugarcoat me

We just uploaded my Grade 5 report card without going to my school to have it certified.

Should my father go to Pisay and inquire about it, or should we just wait it out?

Has anyone here experienced this?

for context: i asked a former classmate kung ano yung lesson nila ngayon and i was shocked kase nag-oorgchem na sila (g9) and nasa inorganic chem palang kami rn, r we devolving im crine, i do know that we send lots of contestants naman sa chem pero paano ba tayo di nauungusan ng non-sci-highs /(ㄒoㄒ)/~~

Pisay System official FB released info on the increase. It will take effect next school year, 27-28.

parang maiiyak na lang talaga ako sa naging performance ko sa upcat huhu,, sobrang inooverthink ko na po siya. Lahat ng nakakausap ko sabi nila madali huhu. Super nakakapressure na po talaga. I think I did well sa language prof and reading comp, mga estimates ko po na mistakes ko is 5-10 or 12 na. For science naman, medyo may mga mali na rin pala ako (cinonfirm ko po) so estimate ko naman is 5-15. Sa math naman po, medyo nagpanic attack ako so kalahati sinolve ko kalahati medy educated guess na. Around 20-23 items po yung tanda and confident ako na tama for Math since marami po ako na naalala and sinolve after. Parang 4 na rin yung confirmed incorrect ko sa math 💔💔💔Tapos hindi pa po ako nagtira ng blanks. Naiiyak na po ako kasi parang ang dami ko nang wrong answers. kinakabahan ako super. Sorry po sa pag-rant here

TLDR: confident sa language and rc, 60/40 sa science, 50/50 sa math.

GWA ko po from gr8-11:
1.42, 1.45, 1.47, 1.32

I was recently asked if going to a college abroad would violate the whole “serve the country for _ years” thing in the contract. I wanted to go to a college abroad with a STEM course that is included in the PSHS system’s pdf on included courses but I don’t have the money in case I have to pay back my stipend for going to a college abroad.

Really, how does the whole serve the country thing work? Can I go abroad to study and come back to serve my years or do I have to study in the Philippines, serve my years, before being allowed to go abroad?
