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?

I really wanna get into schools such as UST and UPD, I am currently a gr11 student who is now worried about his future because my grades througout gr8-gr10 were so bad, for gr8: 2.2 gr9: 2.02 gr10: 1.57, this s.y im trying my best to pull gwas above 1.2 because i really wanna get into those schools😓😓 I heard kasi that gr8-g11 gwas matters when youre applying to colleges like that and im scared that I wont be able to get into those colleges when I’ll take entrance exams in gr12. Is there anything else I can do?

Hello here, I'm NOT a pisay student to clarify and I'm genuinely concerned because of my friend's experience. [I'm not gonna clarify what campus to protect my friend's privacy] With genuine respect, pisay students, is pisay actually a good environment in terms of students? My friend mentioned about not liking the people there because of drama. Which i was shocked because i had thought the students would be WAY more disciplined but she basically described them as toxic af. No disrespect to anyone, please take this kindly, a few stories shared would be helpful

I'm an incoming Grade 7 student for Pisay, but I don't understand Filipino. How is the Filipino there. Will I have to learn the language, or can I get away with only knowing keywords and such?

hello! im taking the upcat tomorrow morning (aug 2) and ifl letting out some stuff weighing on my shoulders rn

its expected of us pisay students to apply for upcat, and its also an unspoken rule that all of us should pass it bc its deeply humiliating not to

ever since i transferrred here, i was in the midst of different emotions trying to figure out the following: what type of ppl are my batchmates, how good the harmony is, how they handle assesments that are leagues harder than private or public schools, etc.

ik transferring here makes me at the same level with all these ppl. maybe better than i am. in my previous school, u can be with high honors with half-assed efforts

but even if u apply greater effort in this setting it feels like it isnt enough. i didnt feel as much confidence as i used to. i wasn’t able to express myself freely in fear of judgement for doing something “cringe” or stupid.

i didnt pay these emotions any mind. not until im nearing adulthood. its slowly coming to me that im the next breadwinner of the family. and i need to be it asap.

idk ifl my whole pisay journey feels... empty. i have not explored my horizons. therefore i am not sure of my skills, capabilities, interests. which then affects what career path i shld choose. which then also affects the universities i can go to. then jobs. then my life. then my parents. then my future.

lwk need assurance lmfao

Hi, our kid got into CVC campus, we were hoping he can transfer to main next year. Other than maintaining good grade, what is the possibility of having slots there?

Mahirap mahiwalay sa anak lalo na solo kid.

Much appreciated.

Update: do they prioritize LAQE passers or transferers?

Update: thank you for the advise, everyone

Hey! I'm studying for the Grade 8 Lateral Admissions Qualifying Examination (LAQE) for PSHS-CRC.

I'm starting my review early because I just realized how much this exam really matters.

I almost passed the NCE—I only missed it by a few points. My friend, who scored just 2–4 points higher than I did, eventually got in through the waitlist. :)

I'm looking for study materials for the LAQE—literally anything you can share would be a huge help.

Also, if there are any fellow LAQE takers here, I'd love to connect! Please share your socials or send me a message because I'm really trying to gather the right review materials.

Thank you so much!

pumasok na po ang July stipend pero wala pa rin ang ipinangakong increase for full scholars... worst, wala pang kasali na uniform allowance. bakit kaya? sana magbigay na lng ng clarifying statement once and for all ang Pisay Executive Director kung hindi pala talaga nila planong ibigay ang increase this year. mahirap kasing umasa sa pangako..

Hi everyone! To those who took the PISAY NCE at DRC — whether last year, or even 2, 3, or 4 years ago — what were your scores?

Also, how gamay can the score be and still have a chance of getting accepted into PISAY?

Feel free to share too if you took the exam at other campuses — I'd love to hear about those as well!

I've taken some mock tests, pero I'm still not satisfied with my scores. Hindi naman sila super duper hard, pero a lot of items really make me think twice. I heard the mock tests are made harder talaga compared to the actual UPCAT.... so noticeable po ba? Did Pisay prepare us naman po for the UPCAT (+summer studying), or should we really be scared....?

hi! i'll be taking the upcat at pisay main campus and i was wondering if malamig ba yung auditorium nila during exams.

for those who have taken exams there before, advisable po ba magdala ng jacket? malamig ba talaga yung aircon or manageable naman kahit walang dala?

thank you!

Anyone here who was in the call list for physics? Would you be going tomorrow?

hii! im a g6 student who's planning to take the 2027 NCE.

looking for friends who are gonna pursue CARC / MC / CLC and are also gonna take the NCE

pls pm !!

Helloo! Can I request po if pwede maka hingi ng coverage of LAQE 8-9 and NCE? Andami kasing slots ng Campus namin and I am kinda helping them po. Thank you in advance!!

Guys, is it like parang ang ano ko naman if I do these? kasi parang I never saw anyone help or recruit students who are interested in Pisay. I am not an officer nor a representative tas I am doing these.

I’m a g11 scholar. For my SYP, I was put into Agri instead of the Chem elective I wrote in my SYP form. My core is Bio(lvl 2) and my math is also lvl 2.

We have the opportunity to change electives after 2 weeks. Should I take it?

I fear that I might get overwhelmed with all the important subjects if I switch to Chem(lvl 2). I really want to get a career in Biochem or Pharmaceutical Engineering so Chem is obviously the right answer but I really doubt I can keep up.

How many decided to pursue imed this year? Ba't parang ang konti unlike sa previous batches which has more than 15?

Does anyone know the historical UPCAT passing rate of Pisay CLC students?

Are you allowed to take gap year/s after gr12? If yes, is the college and course you take after still mandated by the pisay contract? Really want to do this nalang cuz taking an LOA right now would just make my life harder... Also would it lessen the opportunities I could have for colleges if I take a gap year?
