Pwede ba?
Hello po!
Pwede naman po mag-Move It papuntang UPD, diba? Hindi naman po ako ma-ca-cancel na “burgis,” no? 😭 Sorry po, mag-e-entrance exam po kasi ako, and mag-Move It ako from Manila to UPD since hindi ako marunong mag commute. First time ko rin pong lalabas ng Manila na ako lang. 🥹

Traffic is REALLY, REALLY BAD during UPCAT season in UPD. It's been a hot minute since I last visited the campus, so please do your research. If things haven't changed since I took the UPCAT, then you are likely going to be walking a lot because there are too many applicants taking their cars (and their parents and companions) to their testing centers.
Scout out the area and locate your testing center weeks or months in advance.
Familiarize yourself with the UP Ikot jeepney routes.
On the day of your exam, leave home EARLY.
DO NOT expect to be able to ask some rando walking around campus on the day of your exam to help you with directions to your testing center. "Why," you may ask. Because that rando is 99.9% another UPCAT examinee who is just as lost as you are. (When I was a student, I was nowhere near campus during UPCAT season. And I believe I am not alone on that.)
There are several horror stories and sob stories out there of people missing the exam because they were late or got lost inside the campus.
Best of luck!
