10 Myths About the UPCAT

Because the UPCAT is such a prevalent test, there are a number of misconceptions about the test or testing format. These myths about the UPCAT can be more than misleading to the test taker - they can negatively impact his score or his chances of admission in UP.

1. Guessing will not improve your UPCAT score.
In a way, this is somehow true. If you are totally stuck on a question and cannot even eliminate a single answer choice, then yes, you should leave the item blank. The UP Admissions applies a "guessing penalty" of one-fourth of a question per missed question and does not penalize for unanswered items. But you should understand that the UPCAT is a test of courage. Any time you can eliminate at least one of the answer choices as being definitely wrong, it's better to guess. From a purely statistical standpoint, this strategy will gain you more points over the whole test than you'll get by playing it "safe" and leaving the questions blank. So guess if you must!
