Prepare well, and we look forward to welcoming you as part of the next cohort of DOST-SEI scholars.  \nJAYEEL S. CORNELIO, PhD  \nDirector IV  \nABOUT THE DOST-SEI UNDERGRADAUTE  \nSCHOLARSHIP EXAMINATION  \nThe DOST-SEI Undergraduate Scholarship Examination continuously evolves as we try to have the best instrument that identifies who among you will be successful in a career in science and technology. This aligns with our S&T human resource development plan.  \nWhile you may have taken many examinations already, taking a scholarship exam may cause some anxiety because your performance on the test is life-defining. Passing the test can lead you to a career that you will pursue in your lifetime. You must do your best, thus, this Primer.  \nFirst, let us look at the basic makeup of the examination. It is a multiplechoice test consisting of three main parts and timed as follows:  \n\n| Part | Domain | Sub-domains | Time in\u003Cbr>Minutes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| I | Creative Reasoning | Mechanical Reasoning | 45 |\n|  |  | Spatial Reasoning |  |\n|  |  | Verbal Reasoning |  |\n|  | Language and Literature |  |  |\n| II | Science | Biology | 65 |\n|  |  | Chemistry |  |\n|  |  | Earth Science |  |\n|  |  | Physics |  |\n|  |  | Space Science |  |\n| III | Mathematics |  | 70 |\n\nWhen you finish a part before the end of the allotted time, you can use the remaining time wisely by reviewing your answers to that part only or close your test booklet. You are not allowed to go back to the previous part nor proceed to the next part of the test.  \nThe actual examination will be taken in more than three hours including reading of instructions and filling out some information on the answer sheet. Instructions will be given step by step so you will be properly guided. It is designed to be taken in one sitting.  \nYou will encounter multiple-choice items in the test. There will be four options per item, and only one is the correct answer. You will indicate your answer by shading the circle in the answer sheet with the letter of your choice. Your score will be the total number of correct answers you make.  \nYou may eat your snacks or drink water at any time during the examination but make sure that you do not smear the test materials. You may also be allowed to go to the comfort room as necessary, but you will use your time in the test.  \nHelpful Tips When Taking an Exam:  \n1. On the day before the exam, prepare your Test Permit, School ID, Parental Consent and Waiver Form, pencils, an eraser, and maybe a sharpener. Do not forget your snacks and water.  \n2. Rest well the night before the exam so you will be mentally alert and ready for the rigors of it.  \n3. Go to your Test Center early. It will be easier if you know the location of your designated Test Center before exam day so you can plan your trip and arrive at the site long before the start of the exam.  \n4. Dress properly. Wearing shorts and slippers is not allowed. The host school may not allow you to enter the premises if you are attired inappropriately.  \n5. Time Management in Taking an Exam: Given the limited time pertest, manage your time wisely. Do not spend too much time on any particular item you find difficult. Answer all the test items you know and if there is still time, go back to the difficult or unfamiliar test item and choose your best option.  \n6. Follow instructions diligently.
