Tiring weekend

Here's one of the many tiring weekends I'm going to have this year. I just took up Mapua Scholastic Aptitude Exam or more commonly called as MSAE this morning till afternoon then went straight to Tagaytay for my sister's birthday dinner! 

MSAE was actually pretty easy... and hard. 

Let me start off with the skills test. It actually started off pretty easy with the abstract reasoning shit.. and days before the test I have been browsing over the Internet of what might be some of the things we might actually draw during the test and I found this:

I don't know how this blogger took a photo of his/her test paper but yeah.. This is the second part of our skills test next to abstract reasoning. This is the photo that I've been using to practice for my test in Mapua and it sure did help me because what came out of the test was exactly the same! Don't be deceived by that lady in that picture, though, she's so small in the real test paper. I thought she was tall.. shit. The part two of the test involved us drawing the plant shown in the front and it was really challenging because of the pot. Or whatever. I hate that pot. Overall, my drawing was okay. I think it can be recognized as a plant. (That's what I think! But what will the Architecture department think? Huhuhu)

After lunch, the part two of the MSAE begun. We had two hours and 40 minutes to finish English, Math, and  what do they call the last part again? All I know is that most of them were about Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Critical Thinking. They had 90 items for English, and 45 each for the remaining two. I only found Math hard because I really didn't feel like studying days before the test. Before taking UPCAT and USTET, I studied Trigonometry (like functions!) and Statistics (permutation, combination stuff) very well and ironically, questions with those topics hadn't come out much for the first two tests I took so I was expecting less of those in the MSAE. Turned out, they had so many questions with those topics! That sucks because I was recalling my UPLink days with the Permutation and Combination stuff and I just can't seem to recall any. So I usually used shotgun method or cross-out method. Yep. 

After taking the test, Katherine, her cousin, and I immediately went home. Traffic in Cavite worsens as time goes by, you guys, and I hate it. I waited for my mom to pick me up outside our village because we'll be celebrating my sister's birthday in Tagaytay! So yep they picked me up then on the way going to Tagaytay, I told them stories about my MSAE experience like how the proctors are not strict at all and how we can actually use cellphones while taking the test and some other stuff.

Then we arrived at Pamana! I knowww I've blogged about this before but it's my family's favorite restaurant!  












P.S. Vacation's almost over! Aww :(
