PUPCET study plan

PUPCET · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 7 hours per week

Week 1

Mathematics

  • Compute fraction, decimal, and percentage conversions and operations without a calculator

  • Solve ratio, proportion, and average word problems by setting up equations before calculating

  • Apply divisibility rules and prime factorization to simplify expressions quickly

  • Time yourself on a 25-item arithmetic drill and record every item that took over 90 seconds

Your checkpoint

A scored 25-item arithmetic and percentage drill with a written speed log, target 80% or higher

Week 2

Mathematics & English (Language Proficiency and Reading Comprehension)

  • Solve single-variable linear equations and inequalities, including absolute-value cases

  • Solve systems of two linear equations by both substitution and elimination

  • Correct subject-verb agreement, tense consistency, and pronoun-reference errors in 20 sentences

  • Build a personal error log labeling each mistake by rule category

Your checkpoint

An error log of at least 20 missed items with the correct rule or solution written for each

Week 3

Mathematics & English (Language Proficiency and Reading Comprehension)

  • Compute perimeter, area, and volume for standard plane and solid figures from formulas you write from memory

  • Apply the Pythagorean theorem and angle relationships to solve geometry word problems

  • Identify main idea, supporting detail, and author's tone in three reading passages

  • Complete one timed Math section end-to-end and mark unanswered items separately from wrong items

Your checkpoint

One full timed Math section plus a three-passage comprehension set, both scored with a short diagnosis paragraph

Week 4

Science & Mathematics

  • Explain the roles of cell structures, DNA, and the major human organ systems in your own words

  • Balance simple chemical equations and classify matter as element, compound, or mixture

  • Distinguish the layers and processes of the Earth's interior, plate boundaries, and the water cycle

  • Re-solve the ten Math items you flagged in weeks 1 to 3 without notes

Your checkpoint

A half-length diagnostic covering Math plus Science, scored by domain, with Math re-test accuracy recorded

Week 5

Science & Abstract and Logical Reasoning

  • Apply Newton's three laws to describe motion and distinguish speed, velocity, and acceleration

  • Explain energy transfer, circuits, and the difference between series and parallel connections

  • Complete number and letter series by identifying the underlying rule before answering

  • Evaluate syllogisms and conditional statements for validity and identify the contrapositive

Your checkpoint

A scored 30-item logical reasoning set with the rule written beside every item, target 85% or higher

Week 6

English (Language Proficiency and Reading Comprehension) & Abstract and Logical Reasoning & Filipino

  • Analyze two long reading passages under a strict 12-minute-per-passage limit and answer inference items

  • Resolve vocabulary-in-context items by substituting each option back into the sentence

  • Identify parts of speech, correct Filipino agreement, and the correct use of pang-uri and pang-abay

  • Recognize common tayutay and idyoma and match each to its plain meaning

Your checkpoint

A scored 30-item Filipino quiz plus two timed reading passages with every wrong inference item re-argued in writing

Week 7

Filipino & Mathematics & English (Language Proficiency and Reading Comprehension)

  • Answer Filipino pagsulat, pagbasa, and balarila items under time pressure

  • Re-drill the three weakest Math subtopics identified in your week 3 and week 4 error logs

  • Eliminate recurring grammar and usage errors from your week 2 error log

  • Practice an item-skipping strategy that banks easy points before returning to hard items

Your checkpoint

One full-length timed mock exam across all five domains with a per-domain score table

Week 8

Mathematics & English (Language Proficiency and Reading Comprehension) & Science & Abstract and Logical Reasoning & Filipino

  • Complete two full-length timed mock exams under exam-day conditions with no interruptions

  • Convert each mock exam's wrong items into flashcards and clear them within 48 hours

  • Rehearse time allocation per section and lock in your answer-sheet sequence before the exam

  • Review the compiled error log top to bottom for final gaps and rest two nights before the exam

Your checkpoint

Two complete timed mock exams plus a two-page error analysis and a one-page exam-day time budget

Milestones

Week 2: Arithmetic and algebra drills score 80% or higher, and the error log contains at least 20 corrected items

Week 4: Half-length diagnostic ≥70% overall, with Math re-test accuracy higher than the week 1 baseline

Week 6: Logical reasoning ≥85% and Filipino ≥75%, with no repeated error category from weeks 1 to 4

Week 8: Full-length mocks ≥75% overall and ≥80% in Mathematics, with every wrong mock item converted to a cleared flashcard
