MANILA, Philippines — For the first time since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Ateneo de Manila University will hold this weekend its pen-and-paper entrance test for college freshmen admission for school year 2023 to 2024.

Over 7,000 examinees are expected to take the Ateneo College Entrance Test (ACET), which will be administered on Saturday and Sunday at the university’s campus in Quezon City.

Ateneo advised the university community and the general public to expect traffic jams during the examinations.

Another set of entrance tests will be held on Nov. 5 and 6 for applicants from outside Metro Manila.

Ateneo said the ACET is a “refreshed version of the examination, seen to help assess applicants better.”

Aside from the ACET score, acceptance to Ateneo will be based on academic and non-academic performance from Grades 9 to 11, batch ranking at the end of Grade 11, personal admission essays, recommendation letters, extracurriculars and disciplinary records.
