USTET Review Philippines: planned in from the first week of the season
USTET review from Eduline gives the University of Santo Tomas Entrance Test its full share of the season from week one. UST sets its testing batches each cycle, usually within weeks of ACET or DCAT, so the heavy practice, the rest days and the timed papers are placed to bring you into that batch fresh.

Program Glossary
What isUSTET review
One-to-one preparation for the University of Santo Tomas Entrance Test, which UST runs in batches on dates it announces each cycle. Because it usually sits within weeks of ACET or DCAT, the review is built around recovery and scheduling as carefully as around subject teaching, since two close dates test stamina as much as knowledge.
Key Points
1University of Santo Tomas Entrance Test, run in batches on UST's announced dates
2Commonly taken within weeks of another major entrance exam
3One body of subject preparation serves both; the scheduling is what differs
4What UST publishes to applicants is the source this review is built from
5The hourly rate is shown here; the total shifts with home visits, online sessions, and how many hours the stretch between papers needs
Learning Formats
Two ways to run it
Both shaped around a season that is already full
1
Online
Sensible when two exam dates and a semester's requirements are competing for the same evenings. Sessions can be shortened or moved without a journey being wasted, which counts most in the weeks between two papers.
60-90 minutes
Moved or shortened without wasting a trip
Shared workspace for showing working
Short top-up sessions between the two dates
2
At your home
Best for the full timed papers, which are worth doing on paper. The tutor sees how the time was spent alongside the total, and that is usually where the recoverable points are hiding.
90 to 120 minutes
A full-length run timed to match UST's own clock
Time use watched alongside the score
A steady weekly anchor
Reasons to Choose Us
How we approach USTET
Scheduling is treated as part of the teaching
01
Built on UST's own material
UST's own published material is the source the plan is built on, line by line, from the subjects it covers to the batch dates it announces.
02
The whole season is planned early
Where the heavy practice sits, where the rest sits, and what happens between two papers. Deciding that early costs nothing and keeps every paper at full strength.
03
Stamina is trained on full papers
Full-length practice builds the endurance a long paper demands, and two papers a few weeks apart compound the load. A learner who runs out of capacity loses marks they already knew, so capacity is trained like any subject.
04
One review for every paper in the stretch
The subject ground overlaps, so one review teaches it once and spends the saved hours on timed practice for each paper.
05
Admission is UST's decision
UST admits on its own criteria and the pool that applies that year. The review brings you to the USTET at full strength, with every subject practiced under time and the season's other papers already in the plan.
06
It ends on the exam date
Everything is aimed at the batch you sit, and the plan closes on that day.
Learning Levels
How the weeks around USTET are shaped
Four stretches, each with its own work
01
Before the batch dates are out
When the scheduling decision is free
The best point to plan the order of the season. With the ACET and DCAT dates known and UST's batch dates added the day they appear, the heavy practice and the recovery are placed deliberately.
Subjects
Every exam date mappedSubject gaps that serve both papersFull timed practiceSchool deadlines marked alongside
Focus Areas
Plan the season while it is still open
Shared subject ground first
Decide in advance where the rest days go
02
Between the two papers
A matter of days
The narrow gap where learners most often overload themselves. The useful move is rest plus one narrow repair from the first paper, so the second paper finds a learner fresh.
Subjects
One specific weakness from the first paperLight timed work onlySleep and recoveryExam-day logistics for the second
Focus Areas
Rest counted as preparation
One precise repair
Nothing new introduced in this gap
03
USTET as the only paper
A calmer, cleaner run
Where a learner is taking this one alone, the weeks behave normally and the review looks like ordinary exam preparation: content where it is weak, conditions practiced, a fixed end date.

04
Sitting it late in the season
Third or fourth paper of the year
By the time some learners reach this one they have taken several, and what they need most is the will to sit one more paper. Seeing that early shapes a short, sharp plan the learner can actually use.

What the sessions cover
Subject ground that serves every paper in the season, plus the part specific to a crowded stretch
The anchors here are UST and its batch sittings. UST publishes what its applicants need, and the batch dates, on its Office for Admissions page for each applicant year; pass that material along, and the modules below are matched to it line by line.
01
Module 01
Mathematics
Where the oldest gaps sit, and therefore where careful work returns the most. The gap usually traces back to something laid down years before Grade 12.
Algebra and equations
Geometry and measurement
Statistics and probability
Speed on basic operations
02
Module 02
Science
Life science, chemistry, physics and earth science each get equal time, none pursued deeply. Entrance papers like this one reward reasoning across the range over mastery of one strand.
Life science
Chemistry
Physics
Earth and space
03
Module 03
Reading and language
One section holds two separate skills: reading a passage accurately under time pressure, and clearing usage items fast enough for grammar knowledge to count.
Comprehension under time pressure
Inference and purpose
Usage and sentence structure
Vocabulary in exam register
04
Module 04
Scheduling the season
Specific to this page and genuinely part of the preparation. Where the heavy practice goes, where the rest goes, and what happens on the days between two papers.
Both dates mapped against school deadlines
Heavy practice placed deliberately
Rest days that are actually rest
What to do in the gap between papers
05
Module 05
Stamina
Sitting a long paper is physically tiring, and taking two within a few weeks compounds it. The plan trains capacity on full papers, so a learner who knows the answers still has the energy to mark them.
Full-length practice from the start
Concentration through the final stretch
Recovery between papers
Sleep treated as part of the plan
06
Module 06
Pacing and triage
Deciding fast which item to answer and which to skip matters as much as knowledge. The clock catches one of two equally prepared learners before the other.

Who This Program Serves
Who this is for
Mostly learners sitting USTET alongside another paper
The case this page is written for. One body of subject preparation, and a season planned so the second paper gets a rested, rehearsed learner.
Recommended:
One plan, both dates on itRecovery scheduled between themThe College Entrance page maps every exam this season, USTET included
Where this is the paper that matters most, it gets the better share of the season, which means saying so early, while the schedule can still be arranged around it.
Recommended:
Heavy practice placed before this dateOther papers treated as secondaryFixed finish on the exam day
Well prepared and tired. The plan is a few sessions aimed at one narrow thing, sized to the energy the learner has left.
Recommended:
A small number of targeted sessionsRest protectedA clear finish line on the exam day
Application windows and requirements are the university's to publish and yours to meet. The first call checks UST's published requirements and deadlines with you, so the review starts on a secure application.

What an hour of USTET review buys
Priced per hour, one tutor with one learner. The total moves with home visits in Metro Manila against a provincial address, online against in person, and whether the season holds one paper or two close together.
From
₱600 / hour
Home visit, Metro Manila
₱800 / hour
Online
₱600 / hour
Home visit, provincial areas
₱600 / hour
Per hour, one tutor with one learner. Home visits run at least 1.5 hours. Packages: 12 hours at 5% off, 24 hours at 10% off. A 20-hour entrance exam plan is available.
Because USTET usually falls within weeks of another major paper, the more useful question is how many hours the whole stretch needs. A block that covers shared subject ground, a full timed run of each paper, and the rest days in between usually works out cheaper per hour than booking one session at a time.
FAQ
What USTET applicants ask
Mostly about the season around the paper
01
What is on the USTET?
UST tells its own applicants what the USTET covers, in the material it issues for the current applicant year. Send that along, and the review sessions are built directly against it, subject by subject, so the weeks of preparation match the paper you sit in UST's batch.
