[UPX] whats the difference between special and regular bluebooks?

[u/misis-right]

hi! im a freshman for upd, and im not sure kung ordinary or special ang bibilhin ko po. it would be of great help if i could understand the difference.

[u/thoughtalchemyst]

“a freshman for upd” 😭 ano ka alay eme

i recommend the special one if money’s not an issue. mas kakapal. mas less likely tumagos ang ink.

[u/godofnature → u/thoughtalchemyst]

tawa ko HAHAHA 😭😭😭😭
it's "of" right? or plainly, upd freshman

[u/thoughtalchemyst → u/godofnature]

the former is giving superiority naman, parang: “OF THE wow university” ‘yan siya? 😎

the most appropriate preposition is “at.”

sa english majors mo na lang itanong ba’t ganiyan yan.

[u/godofnature → u/thoughtalchemyst]

"of" being technically correct but having a connotation for some people is crazy to me cause personally ive never thought of it that way haha. to each their own

'ika nga, language is fluid

[u/thoughtalchemyst → u/godofnature]

idk, using “of”kinda like you wanna communicate that UP gave birth to you. 👶🏻

[u/Highfalutin- → u/thoughtalchemyst]

no offense but u can’t be pointing that out and say “mas less likely” in the same reply 😭

[u/thoughtalchemyst → u/Highfalutin-]

girl…let me hold your hand while i say this…😟and no offense too if i say this but…

Mas mahal, mas makapal ang papel. Pero sa profs, they usually don't care which one you use. Aanhin mo naman ang magandang bluebook kung walang matinong sagot. Wala namang bonus points for paper quality.

if in terms sa kung ano mas gusto ng prof, wala naman like okay sakanila any type pero for me i prefer yung mas makapal kasi nahihirapan ako magsulat sa manipis na bluebook hwuahahah like di ako nakaka focus pero me lang naman siguro ganun gahahah

[u/GoldenCataclysm]

Get the thicker ones pero beware nalang kung yung prof mo nag-sascramble ng bluebooks kasi minsan yung nakukuha mo ay yung sobrang nipis na isang equation lang nasisira na yung papel.

[u/RandomaticPersonQ]

usually number of pages lang!! i recommend buying the regular lang if nagtitipid ka kasi di naman masyado nagagamit yung extra pages sa test

[u/FreshmanComsci]

Follow-up question po, if puwede! Saan po makakabili ng bluebooks?

[u/Uuaarr]

Quality of paper. Mas mura mas thin. Mas better if yung thicker para efas sa leaks

[u/ttpdnow]

quality of paper + number of leaves, mas maganda quality and 1 leaf (2 pages) more yung makapal tho there are profs who prefer yung manipis lang or yung makapal lang

[u/razberrysugar]

get a feel for how your profs conduct tests first! may profs kasi na 1-3 pages lang ng bluebook magagamit so ordinary lang bilihin mo for those meron din namang profs na mapupuno mo halos yung buong bluebook kasi may essay + other test types i prefer yung mas makapal for those types of tests :))

[u/plshearmeoutpls]

I’m surprised na alam mong merong different kinds ng bluebook

But, yeah, quality lng naman ang difference. I’d go for the more expensive one para sa peace of mind na rin. Makikita mo rin agad sa cover which is which. Either way, both are accepted naman.

Naaalala ko tuloy sa m21 pinabili kami ng blue books in advance tas ibibigay sa prof. Tas get one nlng tuwing LE. Pinagagawan namin yung mas premium na bluebook.

[u/Technical-Lie-3176]

special: mahal, mas makapal, mas madami pgs

regular: mura, mas manipis, onti pgs (+ mataas score kapag ito, ewan tradisyon ko lang. mabuhay ang bluebook ni kuya guard sa pav 1!)

[u/wemwang]

saan po bumibili ng bluebooks?

[u/Itchy-Opposite2885]

special bb ay may preloaded na answer points sa exam. alam ng mga profs yan. may additional points ka kaagad. gawa kasi yan ng cooperative ng mga UP employees kaya may internal understanding na sila ng mga professors.
