 ACET (or is it AH S--t)
Recently,
most seniors took the Ateneo College Entrance
Test (ACET). We all know if somebody wanted to
enroll in Ateneo de Manila University, he or she
must pass the ACET. Though most PSHS scholars
prefer to go to the University of the
Philippines, there are some who will go to
Ateneo.
The
Ateneo test was given last Oct. 18 and 19, 1997
in the morning and afternoon. The students were
given four hours to read the instructions and
answer the exam. Those who took the test in the
later batches heard that it (the exam) was a
little difficult. But when they were already
answering the questions, they found out it is
really difficult.
Other
people would think that because we are from
Pisay, we will easily pass the ACET. The
questions were not hard but it was the lack of
time that made the test seem difficult. There was
one part with 25 items that should be answered in
only five minutes. Most examinees were forced to
make "hula" in the remaining numbers
because they were not able to finish some parts
of the test.
I
talked to some of my friends. According to them
"kulang na kulang sa oras yung test."
One even said that in a scale of 1 to 10, with 10
as the most difficult, the UPCAT is -1, the DLSU
exam is 2 while the ACET is 11. Others were very
depressed that according to them,
"siguradong babagsak sila." But still
some are hoping that they will pass the ACET and
study in Ateneo next school year.

 Sixty-six days to go and we’re off! Yes!!!
Well, that’s the usual reaction when we think about
all the projects we have to do in the coming few days.
It’s our only consolation and the 1998
presidentiables are: Physics Toy, Computer Science
software, Research project, Advanced Electronics project,
Soc. Sci term paper or documentary, and last but not the
least, the English book review. Pick your vote. Just
thinking about it already makes me exhausted. What more
when we’re already doing them. Sshheesh. Patience
people, patience!

I noticed
that a lot of guys have a feeling of anxiety because of
the upcoming graduation ball. Some are hesitating to ask
because the person they like might already have a date.
Others are just afraid to ask - or should we call them
"torpe." Personally, I can’t understand
why even the most courageous guys lose their tongue when
they’re in front of the girl they like. Is it
because of our charm, or wit, our beauty, our
personality, or all of the above? Hey guys, turn your
head! Think there’s a guy about to ask Sandra, Sam,
Angelyn, Jusann, Tiny, Thea, S-1, S-2, S-4, S-5, S-3
(???) not to mention M&M. So what are you doing still
reading, make your move and fast.
