Hi Ma’am,
I checked their website; I see no news or announcements to the contrary. In fact, I see under “Important Dates” and in the UPIS Academic Calendar that the Kindergarten Admission Test schedule remains 2-4 Apr and 9-17 Apr. To be certain, though, I suggest that you contact UPIS at Tel (632) 9818500 (that is UP’s trunkline number) loc 4451-52. Good luck!
Hi,
I saw your website while searching for UPIS Kindergarten Admission Exams. However, I can’t find UPKAT exam samples anywhere. Are these also available?
Kind regards,
C Verschuur
Hi! Unfortunately, we don’t have those. I’m sorry we can’t be of more help.
GREAT NEWS! UP IS THE BEST
