Senior High · Philippines
STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) is the heaviest SHS strand on paper, and the one that opens the widest gate to the technical professions afterwards. Aiming at UP, Ateneo, La Salle, or UST engineering? Hoping to land in nursing, pharmacy, or any of the engineering boards — CELE, ME, ECE, REE? STEM is built around exactly that runway. The trade-off: heavy math and science loads from Grade 11 onwards, and a senior year that doesn't let up.
STEM students dominate UP STEM majors — BS Mechanical, BS Civil, BS Electrical, BS Electronics, BS Comp Sci, BS Bio, BS Chem.
Your future qualifying exams
Here's the catch with STEM students taking UPCAT: the Math and Science subtests punish anyone with a soft topic. One weak area in physics or one shaky chapter in algebra — and the score plummets. Super Tutor's adaptive practice spots which sub-topic you keep missing and pushes drills there, instead of letting you re-read the chapters you've already nailed. Around ₱5/day, every day.
