26. So close!! Appreciate the samples. Salamat!
realized something : this is a better way of review
got 19.. it’s just not bad ..
Marami talagang salamat! Malaking tulong ito para sa akin kasi crammer ako eh. Nung sunday lang ako nagsimulang magreview XD
Hindi rin naman siguro ganito kadadali ang tanong sa UPCAT kaya magrereview talaga ako )
There’s something wrong with question 9, 14, and 28. In question 9, we know that cold-blooded animals cannot adapt to temperature changes in the environment. In question 14, it told me i was wrong even though i chose the correct answer. In question 28, your correct answer is different from the correct answer in your compilation of UPCAT readings and modules even though the question and answers are the same. Here, the correct answer is that the insect developed an immunity while it says there was a mutation on the other test. Thanks ^_^
Oops! cold-blooded animals CAN adapt to temperature changes in the environment
Tsk, it would seem that your test has a bug or something, it marked some of my answers as “Wrong” even though the correct answer was the one I chose (it’s highlighted). I got 22/30 and not 19/30 xD
grrrr this is too hard i should studer harder to pass the UPCAT test
not bad…..hehehe
score: 22
It’s so nice!! it helps me a lot..! for more info! hope this wud help me passing the exam… !
sayang naman ! kla ko pa man din gets ko na .. kailangan ko pa pala mag-review mabuti ! by the way, thanks for this chance to have a quiz on Biology .. This one informed me to review more ..
Hopefully, I’ll pass the UPCAT .
It seems as if I have a far way to go before I could perfect the Biology Exams in the UPCAT!!!
