These are just SOME of the topics (there are A LOT) that appeared in the tests from last year (2019-2020). I do NOT suggest to study ONLY these because CETs vary every year.
This thread just serves as a guideline on the topics to NOT miss out on.

College Entrance Tests (CETs) usually only have four (4) subtests: Language Proficiency, Reading Comprehension, Mathematics, and Science.
DCAT has a seperate subtest for Statistics.
DOST-SEI Scholarship Exam has Mechanical-Technical.

Some CETs also ask about Oral Communication and English for Academic and Professional Purposes (*rules in writing, usually just generalized but you have to be familiar) topics from Senior High School, so skim your notes!

Thank you for reading this thread. Hope this helps. Study well!

If you’re wondering, some topics are really from me and from what I encountered in last year’s CETs and some are from people on Twitter and Facebook (posted for our batch 2019-2020 takers) that I also used as a guide during that time.
Taking this opportunity to thank the Kuyas and Ates for helping us, incoming freshmen, out! That is why I’m doing the same for all of you.
