Why should you entrust your UPCAT review to BRAIN TRAIN?

OK, here's the thing. Every other review center will certainly claim that it's the best. No one would say that it's the second or third best, right? Well BRAIN TRAIN also claims that, but then BRAIN TRAIN has a proof---a concrete one, that is---that it is indeed THE BEST. And these are the following:

1. BRAIN TRAIN is one of the very, very, very few UPCAT review centers that posts its UPCAT passers' list yearly. That is because yearly, BRAIN TRAIN produces more or less 400 UPCAT passers! That is something to be truly proud of! Other review centers that also publicize their UPCAT passers would just pale in comparison with our UPCAT passers. If BRAIN TRAIN weren't really effective, it definitely can not produce these many UPCAT passers, right?

2. BRAIN TRAIN not only produces hundreds of UPCAT passers, but even UPCAT topnotchers as well. Imagine, a small-time review center based in Laguna yearly produces 3-5 UP Oblation scholars and INTARMED qualifiers yearly! That's the UPCAT Top 50 / Top 92 out of 70,000 examinees! This just shows again that BRAIN TRAIN really works!

3. Former BRAIN TRAIN students constantly rave about how effective the review program is, and even how fun it was to have the BRAIN TRAIN advantage! BRAIN TRAIN definitely combines fun and learning---a major feat, I must say! To prove this, better check out the testimonials of BRAIN TRAIN's former students at profiles.friendster.com/braintrain

4. BRAIN TRAIN has been helping hundreds of students to get into UP for the past 16 years, and its students grow every year. Again, if former BRAIN TRAIN students do not aver that BRAIN TRAIN works, it will have been out of business by now! BRAIN TRAIN has been tried and tested through the years; this means that its incoming students won't be its "guinea pig" (new UPCAT review centers now are still "nangangapa" and their UPCAT review formula is still being tested...hence, their present or future students will be like their "lab rats"...yung pag-eeksperimentuhan pa lang).


So what are you waiting for? Fulfill your dream of getting into the country's premiere university the BRAIN TRAIN way! Who knows, you could also be our next topnotcher and give you your money back!

presenting, the BRAIN TRAIN teachers!

Ask our students and they'll tell you that they've met their best teachers at BRAIN TRAIN. Not only are they all young, intelligent, and energetic, but they really enjoy teaching.

FAQ about Brain Train

Q. How effective is the REVIEW?
A: The BRAIN TRAIN REVIEW is so effective that it has more UPCAT passers than all the other Laguna review centers combined. BRAIN TRAIN is the only review center which has been posting its passers' list year after year after year. Other review centers claim to have high passing rates, but without any proof. There have been so many cases wherein a student less expected to pass the UPCAT makes it after attending the BRAIN TRAIN REVIEW, while a student more expected to pass does NOT make it after NOT attending the BRAIN TRAIN REVIEW. Also, BRAIN TRAIN doesn't just make its students pass the UPCAT, it even helps its students to become UPCAT topnotchers.


Q. Is this REVIEW also effective for other college entrance tests?
A. Yes.


Q: Of the Los Banos batches, which is most recommended?
A: BRAIN TRAIN recommends the first batch since this gives a student plenty of time after the REVIEW to still catch up on his weak subject areas, either through self-study or by availing of BRAIN TRAIN tutorial services.


Q. I am already Number 1 in my class in school. Do I still need to attend the REVIEW? A. Even if you already expect to pass the UPCAT, there are other benefits that can be derived from the REVIEW. It will raise your grades even further in school. What you will learn from the REVIEW will also benefit you throughout college. Besides, BRAIN TRAIN offers a 100% refund for its students who will make it as UP Oblation or INTARMED scholars.


Q. I want to attend the REVIEW in Los Banos even if I live near another BRAIN TRAIN venue. Is this a good idea? Any suggestions on places to stay near BRAIN TRAIN?
A. One big advantage of reviewing in Los Banos is the availability of additional special classes (e.g., English, Trigonometry, Physics) at BRAIN TRAIN. These enrichment classes, consisting of about five students, are taken two to three hours a day for an additional P3500. Your three-week Los Banos stay then becomes not just a REVIEW but an "educational camp" wherein you are able to review, take advanced lessons, and catch up on weak areas all at the same time, for less than P10,000. BRAIN TRAIN is located in Sta. Fe Subdivision which is only a minute or two away from UP. Because of this, boarding houses and studio type apartments for UP students abound. Most of them have vacancies during summer because most UP students go home to their provinces during this time. Even BRAIN TRAIN has a few rooms available for rent during summer.


Q. I wish to attend a non-Los Banos venue of the BRAIN TRAIN REVIEW (e.g., Sta. Cruz, San Pablo, Batangas, Sta. Rosa, San Pedro, Lucena). Will there be any difference in quality (i.e., Los Banos venue vs. non-Los Banos venue)?
A. Almost none. The same teachers will teach in all venues. BRAIN TRAIN uses the same program in all its REVIEW venues. However, BRAIN TRAIN review fees are usually P1000 higher in Batangas, Lucena, and Sta. Rosa.


Q. I will not be able to attend any of your summer offerings. Do you still offer REVIEW classes in June and July?
A. Yes, but only during weekends because the school year has already begun by then. Because of this, BRAIN TRAIN does NOT recommend the June-July batch. Students will practically have no more time to rest because after attending school from Monday to Friday, they still have to attend the REVIEW during weekends. Hence students who take this batch are rarely able to attend all the REVIEW sessions. It also becomes too late for them to catch up on their weak subject areas.


Q. How does BRAIN TRAIN compare with other review centers? Why should I choose BRAIN TRAIN for my review?
A. Please visit http://brain-train.com.ph/tally.htm to get a glimpse of why BRAIN TRAIN is superior above others.

Your three-week Los Banos stay then becomes not just a REVIEW but an "educational camp" wherein you are able to review, take advanced lessons, and catch up on weak areas all at the same time, for less than P10,000. BRAIN TRAIN is located in Sta. Fe Subdivision which is only a minute or two away from UP. Because of this, boarding houses and studio type apartments for UP students abound. Most of them have vacancies during summer because most UP students go home to their provinces during this time. Even BRAIN TRAIN has a few rooms available for rent during summer.


Q. I wish to attend a non-Los Banos venue of the BRAIN TRAIN REVIEW (e.g., Sta. Cruz, San Pablo, Batangas, Sta. Rosa, San Pedro, Lucena). Will there be any difference in quality (i.e., Los Banos venue vs. non-Los Banos venue)?
A. Almost none. The same teachers will teach in all venues. BRAIN TRAIN uses the same program in all its REVIEW venues. However, BRAIN TRAIN review fees are usually P1000 higher in Batangas, Lucena, and Sta. Rosa.


Q. I will not be able to attend any of your summer offerings. Do you still offer REVIEW classes in June and July?
A. Yes, but only during weekends because the school year has already begun by then. Because of this, BRAIN TRAIN does NOT recommend the June-July batch. Students will practically have no more time to rest because after attending school from Monday to Friday, they still have to attend the REVIEW during weekends. Hence students who take this batch are rarely able to attend all the REVIEW sessions. It also becomes too late for them to catch up on their weak subject areas.


Q. How does BRAIN TRAIN compare with other review centers? Why should I choose BRAIN TRAIN for my review?
A. Please visit http://brain-train.com.ph/tally.htm to get a glimpse of why BRAIN TRAIN is superior above others.

my 2008 UPCAT passers and topnotchers

Now this is my pride...this is what separates me from other UPCAT review centers...

For UPCAT 2008, I was able to help not just 100, not just 200, not just 300 but almost 400 students to get into the country's premiere university (which is UP).

Not only that...I didn't just help my students pass the UPCAT, but 4 of them were even UPCAT topnotchers.

Here they are...

UPCAT 2008 OBLATION SCHOLARS* (Top 50 out of 70,000 examinees)			UPCAT 2008 INTARMED QUALIFIERS** (Top 92 out of 70,000 examinees)
