    The Philippine Science High School (PSHS) is considered the top science high school in the Philippines. Each year, thousands of students compete for limited spots in the entrance examination to gain admission. To be accepted, grade 6 or 7 students must meet eligibility criteria including grades of 85% or higher in science and math. They must then pass the highly selective PSHS National Competitive Examination, where only 5-6% of examinees are expected to pass. Review materials are available to help students prepare for the admission test across four subject areas - science, math, language, and abstract reasoning.

    The Philippine Science High School, commonly known as Pisay, is the premier

    secondary school and considered as the top science high school in the
    Philippines. It is viewed as one of the best science high school in the ASEAN
    region today. That is why it’s no surprise that every year, thousands of grade
    school graduates from public and private schools alike compete for the
    highly coveted seats in the Philippine Science High School. These seats are
    severely limited as their Main campus in Diliman, Quezon City only accepts 240
    scholars while the regional campuses accept 90 scholars each.

    Entrance Exam
    To be admitted to the PSHS, a grade 6 or 7 elementary pupil must meet
    the criteria for eligibility and pass the PSHS National Competitive Examination
    (NCE). The PSHS NCE is a highly-selective process of selecting the PSHS
    scholars for its 13 campuses nationwide. Every year, only 5-6% of examinees
    are expected to pass this test.
    To help you pass the NCE and be considered as a principal qualifier, we created
    this free online PSHS NCE Reviewer. It covers the subject areas included in the
    examination. This PSHS Entrance Test Reviewer is designed to build the
    students’ confidence and skills that are necessary to hurdle this coming 2018
    PSHS National Competetive Examination. Please read on.

    The Philippine Science High School qualifying examination is consists of items


    designed to measure the verbal aptitude, abstract reasoning, quantitative ability
    and the scientific aptitude of the applicant. The questions are based on the
    expected learning competencies of a graduating elementary student specifically
    in the areas of English, Mathematics, and Science. The non-verbal examination
    is composed of figures and illustrations.

    Reviewers can be an essential part of science high school entrance


    exam preparation. They give prospective test takers an idea of the
    coverage and difficulty level of the actual test, as well as help
    students refresh key concepts and develop test-taking strategies.
    Not all reviewers are created equal, though, and here I give my
    impressions of the review books that Motito used to prepare for the
    science high school admissions tests.

    The PSHS includes practice questions and answers for each of the
    four sections of the NCE: Science, Math, Language, and Abstract
    Reasoning. According to Motito, the questions in the reviewer
    closely matched those on the actual NCE in terms of content and
    level of difficulty.
