3. How many years of experience does this review center have? 3 years (current students are the "guinea pigs")

For the past years, Review Center A has been changing its review tactics. We are guessing that it is because it still has not found the formula to make its UPCAT review effective hence it can not even be proud of its passers' list.
 		 14 years
(but the students significantly decrease every year)
 		 8-10 years
(yet never publicized its passers' list)
 		 16 years (and the students significantly increase in number every year). In fact, BRAIN TRAIN is the 1st UPCAT review center in the Philippines. This is a good thing because it means that the BRAIN TRAIN system has been tried and tested and that the service it is giving has been improved over the years.
 
4. Does this review center offer an e-review?

yes

no

no

NO, because BRAIN TRAIN does not believe it is going to be effective. It is just as good as buying an UPCAT reviewer and then consulting a teacher when there are questions. Part of what makes BRAIN TRAIN successful is having teachers who clearly explain every concept in a lively manner, and illustrate practical applications; this will be impossible to do in an e-review. This is why BRAIN TRAIN conducts review in many venues (check our website for venues & schedules). And, if our students have follow-up questions after our review, they simply have to send us an email or call or visit us and we will gladly assist them.
