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!
