More Than Just Passing: iKnow Built the Foundation for a Future Electronics Engineer

Success at iKnow Academic Hub is never just about passing an entrance exam. It is about building a foundation strong enough to carry students through the years ahead.

Lex RJ Roland Biteng began his journey with iKnow Academic Hub in Grade 11. Like many driven students, he had one goal: to pass the Big 4 college entrance exams. What he gained, however, was far more than test strategies.

Today, Lex RJ is in his second year at the University of the Philippines Diliman, taking up BS Electronics Engineering. His consistent performance in Math, Physics, and core engineering subjects reflects something deeper than exam success. It reflects preparation that lasts.

This is a story of long-term academic impact.

From Grade 11 Review to Big 4 Passer

Starting early in Grade 11 gave Lex RJ time to strengthen his fundamentals before senior year pressure intensified. At iKnow Academic Hub, preparation was structured, focused, and strategic.

The results speak for themselves:

• ACET Passer – BS Management Engineering
• DCAT Passer – BS Civil Engineering
• UPCAT Passer – BS Electronics Engineering
• USTET Passer – BS Civil Engineering

Passing all four major entrance exams is already an achievement. But what makes this story powerful is what happened after.

In his testimonial, Lex shared:

“iKnow truly played a pivotal role in my success in the UPCAT, ACET, USTET, and DCAT. The guidance provided invaluable techniques for tackling various math problems effectively. Moreover, I gained a comprehensive understanding of common patterns in English and essential Science topics.”

For many students, entrance exam success is the finish line. For Lex, it was just the beginning.

Building a Strong Math and Physics Foundation

One of the core strengths of iKnow Academic Hub is strengthening fundamentals in Math and Science.

This foundation became critical when Lex RJ entered UP Diliman’s Electronics Engineering program. Engineering is not just about formulas. It requires:

• Deep conceptual understanding
• Strong problem solving skills
• Logical reasoning
• Consistent study discipline

In his first semester at UP Diliman, Lex RJ took foundational subjects such as:

• EEE 111
• EEE 113
• Math 21
• Physics 71

In his second semester:

• EEE 121
• EEE 123
• Math 22
• Physics 72

These subjects are known for their rigor. They demand the same analytical skills tested in CETs, but at a higher level of difficulty.

The transition from CET-style problem solving to university engineering rigor was smoother because the habits were already built during his review at iKnow Academic Hub.

Consistent Academic Performance at UP Diliman

Lex’s academic performance in AY 2024–2025 reflects not just consistency, but excellence. As a consistent college scholar at UP Diliman, he continues to meet the academic standards required in one of the country’s most competitive engineering programs.

Key highlights include:

• Strong standing in core EEE subjects such as EEE 111, 113, 121, and 123
• Solid performance in Math 21 and Math 22
• Consistent results in Physics 71 and Physics 72
• Every unit completed successfully with no failures

Becoming a college scholar in UP Diliman is not automatic. It requires discipline, strong analytical ability, and sustained effort throughout the semester.

For parents, this is deeply reassuring. Passing an entrance exam is an important milestone. But maintaining scholar-level performance in a rigorous Electronics Engineering program is the real measure of academic strength.

This is where the long-term preparation from iKnow Academic Hub shows its true value. The habits built during Grade 11 did not end with the UPCAT. They carried forward into university life, helping Lex RJ not just enter UP Diliman, but thrive in it.

At iKnow Academic Hub, success is not defined by a single test result. It is defined by sustained excellence.

From Exam Techniques to Engineering Discipline

At iKnow Academic Hub, students are not taught to memorize. They are trained to think.

Lex RJ mentioned that instead of focusing on long and complex formulas, he learned smarter techniques. This shift matters in engineering, where:

• Concepts build on previous lessons
• Weak foundations quickly become obstacles
• Time management is crucial

The discipline developed during his review year carried over into university life.

For students, this means confidence.
For parents, this means assurance.
For partner schools, this demonstrates measurable academic impact.

A Family Victory, Not Just a Student Achievement

When Lex RJ passed the UPCAT, his mother who is a lawyer said:

“Para akong nakapasa ulit ng bar exam.”

That statement captures something powerful. Entrance exams are not just individual milestones. They are family victories.

Behind every passer is:

• A parent who sacrificed
• A student who stayed consistent
• A support system that believed

At iKnow Academic Hub, we believe families win together.

Lex’s journey from Grade 11 reviewee to second-year UP Diliman Electronics Engineering student is proof that smarter preparation builds stronger futures.

What This Means for Students and Parents

If you are a Grade 11 or Grade 12 student preparing for entrance exams, remember that preparation is not just for the test. It is for the years that follow.

If you are a parent, know that the right review center does more than help your child pass. It builds habits, discipline, and academic strength that carry into college.

Stories like Lex RJ’s demonstrate measurable outcomes that go beyond marketing claims. They show long-term academic sustainability.

Lex RJ’s story reminds us that success is not measured by one exam result. His journey from iKnow Academic Hub reviewee to consistent UP Diliman Electronics Engineering student shows the power of strong foundations, disciplined preparation, and family support. When his mother said, “Para akong nakapasa ulit ng bar exam,” it was not just about the UPCAT. It was about years of preparation finally bearing fruit.

At iKnow Academic Hub, we believe smarter preparation builds stronger futures. Join our programs today and give your child the foundation not just to pass, but to thrive.
