THE UNIVERSITY of Santo Tomas on Monday released the guidelines for its Entrance Test or USTET for Academic Year 2023-2024.

According to a post in its website, the schedule of applications for incoming college and senior high school students will be from September 5, 2022 to January 6, 2023.

It added that application to USTET will be done online.

“USTET is administered to all applicants in order to qualify and determine who among them are the most prepared for the standard of education at the University of Santo Tomas,” the school said.

“The over-all final rating will be composed of the entrance examination score (80%) and the stated computed average grade (20%) in Math, English, and Science, based on the USTET Application Grades Form,” it added.

Only college applicants who are currently enrolled in Grade 12 and senior high school applicants who are currently enrolled in Grade 10 may apply.

College applicants are allowed to choose two programs while senior high school applicants are allowed to select one track/strand, the UST added.

A Filipino or a foreign applicant who graduated or is graduating from a foreign school or from an international school in the Philippines may apply through the submission of international credentials, provided that they could comply with some criteria.

Meanwhile, the application for Learning-Enhanced Accelerated Program for Medicine or LEAPMed will be from September 5 to November 18, 2022.
