San Beda's Admissions Test

I took the entrance exam for San Beda College of Law yesterday (February 9)

The test was scheduled at 8am, but the applicants needed to fill out personal information that time. So basically, the real exam started at about 8:15.

There were four parts in the exam. All parts were 60 items, and the time ranged from 35-50mins for each part.

The first part was about verbal reasoning and reading comprehension. Their passages were rally easy. Not much to think about, most of the answers were a given as long as you read the passage carefully.

The second part was critical thinking. This part was LSAT based. You have to determine from the choices which were the right conclusion, assumption, etc. And the last 20 items were all logic games. I think the time given was sufficient, the examiner simply shouldn't dwell too long on an item.

The third part was all about math. Yep, MATH! Calculators weren't allowed, as if you'd need them. This part was pretty easy. Basic algebra, geometry, radicals and other HS stuff. It's funny because these were the things I've been teaching my sister w/ regards to their topic in school. (Take note: She's only on her 2nd year in HS)

The fourth part was about abstract reasoning. The difficulty ranged from easy to average. But you need to have a good eyesight to answer this quickly. LOL

After the time alloted for the exam was done, we were given another answer sheet for the essay which was needed to be answered for 35mins. The topic on our exam was
"Do you agree that a lawyer should undergo one year of Governement supervised OJT in the Philippines before he can practice in the country, why or why not?"
Sorry, I'm not gonna tell you my answer.

First Seminar as a Speaker.

Last Saturday and Sunday (Feb. 2 & 3), I joined IECEP - MIT's Leadership Training and Seminar. I  was also invited as a guest speaker to talk about leadership, my experiences, and the opportunities to grow by participating in IECEP.

The experience has been great, and I really am overwhelmed. I'm very thankful to IECEP-MIT's officers especially the executive board.

The event and experience has been nothing but positive for a lot of reasons. Here are some.

1.) I was able to meet the new breed of IECEPers and future leaders
2.) I got to share my knowledge, experience, and everything I've learned from the organization.
3.) I was able to practice public speaking. I've got a feeling that I'll be doing a lot of those once I enter law school.
4.) Of course, I was able to bond and enjoy the company of the members of our organization.

Thanks for this experience, and thank you so much for everything I've learned IECEP. Those things really helped me to become a better individual, and unleash the leader inside of me. I'm now ready for greater challenges.
