INSTRUCTIONS
Answer the questions with speed and accuracy. Make sure to always choose the best
answer for each question.
Once you have a solid command of the subject matter and material that will be
presented on your test, it's time to put in play some basic test taking strategies that have
proven effective for thousands of students. Remember, you must adapt test-taking
strategies to the specific type of test you're taking.
1. Be prepared
There is no substitute for preparation. If you haven't studied throughout the semester. If
you haven't reviewed prior to test day. If you don't know the test material, all the test
taking strategies in the world won't save you. Preparation is key.
• Spend as many hours as necessary to understand the material that will be covered
on the test well enough to achieve a high score.
• Since teachers often slightly modify information on tests to determine if students
have good understanding of concepts, spend time on honing test-taking skills.
• As soon as you begin the test, write down information that you will likely need to
know for the test and you fear you may forget. (ie., formulas, equations, dates, lists,
etc.)

Neither Billie __(1)__ Charles __(2)__ present at his birthday party. Because of

toward his classmates. But he continues to hit on others. If I _(4)_, I would tie up the loose
ends and change my attitude.
I took from their sconces two flambeaux, and giving one to Fortunato, bowed him
through several suites of rooms to the archway that led into the vaults. I passed down a
long and winding staircase, requesting him to be cautious as he followed. We came at
length to the foot of the descent, and stood together upon the damp ground of the
catacombs of the Montresors.
The gait of my friend was unsteady, and the bells upon his cap jingled as he
strode.
"It is farther on," said _1_; "but observe the white web-work which gleams from
these cavern walls."
He turned towards me, and looked into my eves with two filmy orbs that distilled
the rheum of intoxication.

"Come," I said, with decision, "we will go back; your health is precious. You are

The Tome of Knowledge: 2345 New Shortcuts and Techniques in English, Filipino, Science,
Mathematics, Logical Reasoning, and General Knowledge Tests College Entrance Test Reviewer is
the first and only book with a strategically-collated summary of all the important classroom lessons
you need to know before taking your admission exams.
This is the best book by far from The UPCAT Review. It is a lightyear ahead of our previous
Shortcuts and Techniques versions. Thousands of corrections and revisions are made from the
previous edition to spawn this one of a kind book. Each lesson is reexamined and revised to make
sure it is not passé. Also, new shortcuts and techniques are added based on the questions that
appeared on different college entrance tests last year. The Redesign is something not to miss for the
CET takers this year.
Shortcuts and Techniques That Really Work!
• Scientifically designed to help you learn faster
• Secret shortcuts to easily solve hard test problems
• Shortcuts used by quiz bee competitors
• Untaught and taught lessons included
• Bladder-rupturing science digest
• K to 12-aligned lessons
• Test-appearing examples
Proven
We do not rely on blatant misleading marketing to prove our book is effective and competitive. The
fact of the matter is that thousands of individuals covet our book because it is the most effective
single book reviewer available in the Philippines today. Stocks run out in a matter of minutes.
Release Date
We will have released the books by the third week of June 2019. Always keep posted. We will post
updates regularly.
How do I place an order?
Here is our Shopee online shop: https://bit.ly/2EPAEQO.
Here is the book reservation form: https://bit.ly/2XfLD0f
Here is our instructional video on how to order: http://bit.ly/2X8fjMT
The book is indeed, as our readers claim, ahead of its own time. Each shortcut is mind-blowing and
reading the whole tome will improve your exam scores exponentially and increase your chances of
getting accepted into your dream school. Most of the shortcuts and techniques here are NOT
TAUGHT IN A REGULAR CLASSROOM. It is better if you get yourself your own copy because
borrowing or lending books decreases the use efficiency by a huge margin. This will render the book
ineffective (interview with the past users who lent the book). Remember, there is not much time to
read 2345 shortcuts and techniques, so always have your book near your person.

Text I
“May patis na kami!” Isang nakakatuwang kwento ng isang Ibalonian ng napunta siya
at ang kanyang kapatid sa Gallup, New Mexico. Sa kalayu-layo ng Pilipinas, hanap-
hanap pa rin nila sa dulo ng mundo ang patis na walang katulad.
“Tatlong taon na ang orosipong ito pero tulad ng ibinubulong ng matandang salitang
Bikolnon para sa kwento – ang orosipon, hindi natatapos. Patuloy ang masayang
kwento: ang ating orosipon.” —RB, November 28, 2008, New York City
Hindi ko alam sa inyo pero para sa amin ng kapatid kong si Isang hindi maaaring
walang patis ang nilaga o sinigang. Imajinin nga ninyo – nilagang walang patis? Pede
ba iyon? Sinigang na walang patis? Mas lalong hindi pede.
Halos dalawang buwan na kami dito sa Gallup, New Mexico bago kami nagkaroon ng
patis. Kaming dalawa ang tinatawag na mga bagong salta. Nitong nakaraang August
10 lamang nang dumating kami dito sa Gallup, isang bayan na may isa’t kalahati
hangga’t dalawang oras na biyahe ang layo mula sa Albuquerque.
Noong unang linggo namin dito, sinubukan naming gawing Amerikano ang aming
tiyan. Tutal, pagyayabang namin sa sarili namin, sanay naman tayong kumain ng
Jollibee at Mcdonald’s sa Pilipinas. Sige, wheat bread at palaman. Pero hindi namin
nakumbinsi ang aming mga tiyan. Sari-saring tunog ang nililikha ng mga tiyan namin.
Brrrrrrrg. Mrrrrngk. Pop. Parang nagmumumog o kumukulog o pumuputok na mga
tunog ang maya’t maya’y naririnig namin mula sa mga tiyan namin.
Nang maglaon, tiyan na namin ang hindi mapakanali. Okey. Suko na kami. Kailangan
namin ng kanin at ulam! Sumugod kami sa nilalakad lang namin na supermarket (wala
kaming kotse). Diretso sa aisle ng bigas. Ok. Hayun, rice. Isang maliit na supot lang? Di
bale. Sige. Ano pa. Ulam.
Anong ulam natin? Nilagang baka para may mahigop na sabaw (nilalamig na agad kami
kahit na summer pa daw dito). Ok. Beef stew cuts. Ito na siguro iyon. Tapos repolyo.
Patatas. Carrots. Beans. Saging saba... walang saging na saba?! Ok, di bale. Sibuyas.
Tsek. Patis na lang.
Ah, ok sa condiments na tayo. Wala. Fish sauce. Hanap tayo ng fish sauce. Saan? Baka
kakaiba lang ang bote dito ng patis. Diyan sa shelf na iyan? Teka baka dito. Wala.
Walaaaa.
Doon namin naalala na usapin rin ng identidad ang panlasa. Pero, siyempre pa, ang
identidad ay likha ng taga-ngalan. Kailangang ikonteksto ang paghahanap ng patis sa
pananaw ng mga tagarito sa New Mexico. Sa madaling salita, sino ba kami sa pananaw
ng mga taga-rito?
Pinilit naming kalimutan na, basta tao kaming nagugutom. Alalahanin ang mga form
na sinusulatan. Please check ethnicity (optional). Oriental. Asian. Minsan may tiyak na
box para sa Filipino. O kaya, doon ka sa mga walang identitad: other. Ok, sikapin na
alalahanin hanapin ang karatulang may tanda ng identidad.
Dahil iniisip namin tiyak na may patis dito, kailangan lang nating matuklasan kung
nasaang aisle. May iba naman sigurong mga Pinoy dito. Siyempre mangangailangan
din sila ng patis. Elementary economics ba iyon? Ang alam ko, kung may demand, may
supply. Natitiyak naman namin na magdedemand ang mga dila ng mga Pinoy dito ng
patis, kaya mayroong magsu-supply. Luminga-linga kami. Binasa ang mga karatula sa
itaas ng mga aisle. Talagang wala. Walang Oriental food. O Asian food. O International
food. Ooops eto, Chinese food! Preno kami ng kapatid ko. Dalawang shelves na may
habang tatlong piye siguro. Pero walang patis. Walaaang patis! Bumili na lang kami ng
toyo sa isang kakaibang bote.
Pero tulad ng iba pang malilit na bahagi ng buhay migranteng bagong salta, unti-unti
nasanay na rin kaming magluto ng nilagang toyo ang pampaalat. Nasanay na rin
kaming umasa sa microwave na nabili namin sa halagang $10 sa isang yard sale:
pampainit ng tubig, ng kaning lamig at tirang ulam.
Naiintindihan siguro ng Diyos ang paghahanap namin sa patis. Isang araw, tumawag
ang Uncle Romy namin mula sa Norwalk, California. Oy, mga bagong saltang dalaga.
May pupunta diyan na mga Pinoy na madre. Pitong taon na sila diyan sa Gallup.
Ipinagbilin ko kayo.

Text II
Hindi na siya maaaring ibangon
Ng mga pahinang naging pananggalang
Sa kahubdan at matinding gutom.
Maaari lamang siyang takpan ng mga iyon,
At ipagsanggalang sa mga langaw,
Sa huling pagkakataon.
Sapagkat musmos siyang nawalan ng pulso,
Wala na siyang panahon upang gagapin
Ang mga pangyayaring nagpapaikot sa mundo.
