UPCAT Exam Details

University of the Philippines College Admission Test (UPCAT)

Administered by University of the Philippines Office of Admissions (UP System)

Official Source
There is no fixed passing score. Admission is based on the UP Admission Grade (UPG), a weighted combination of standardized UPCAT subtest scores (about 60%) and the composite of final high school grades in Grades 8 to 11 (about 40%). The top-ranked applicants per campus and degree program, by UPG, are admitted; roughly 12 to 13 percent of examinees qualify each year.

Why It's Free

Quality Exam Prep Shouldn't Cost Hundreds

I'm Ran Chen, an engineer with 20+ years of coding experience. I passed my Life Insurance license, EA exam, SIE, Series 6, 63, 65, and finally the CFP® exam.

Through all these exams, one thing became clear: exam prep is expensive. But with AI, we can change that. Quality preparation can now be free for everyone.
