Like many others, I started this journey unsure of where to begin. I was overwhelmed by the massive amount of topics I thought I had to study. But everything changed when I found iKnow Academic Hub Online. 1. Learning Materials That Actually Match the Exam Every module I received from iKnow was on point. The review materials weren’t just comprehensive—they were tailored to match the exact coverage of college entrance tests like the UPCAT. The questions we practiced with weren’t random. They were carefully filtered to focus on high-yield topics, especially in Math and Science, helping me concentrate on what really mattered. 2. An Encouraging, Focused Learning Environment The sessions were far from intimidating. Each class had a light and motivating vibe, which helped me stay focused without feeling pressured. Sir Mon, one of our mentors, made every topic easier to understand and taught shortcuts and techniques that saved me precious time in the actual exam. His teaching made difficult concepts simpler—and that made all the difference. 3. Mentorship and Test-Taking Strategies That Work Beyond academics, iKnow helped us prepare mentally and strategically for the exam day. We learned how to manage our time, deal with pressure, and use effective methods to eliminate wrong choices and select the best answers. What stood out the most was the mentorship—Sir Mon never stopped encouraging us and even continued answering our questions outside class hours. If you’re still looking for a review center to help you conquer the UPCAT, DOST, or other CETs, I have just two words for you:Choose iKnow.You won’t regret it.
