PREFACE Believe That You Can Pass the UPCAT! by Leopold Laset

Do you sometimes find it hard to believe that your dream to pass the UPCAT can become a reality? If so, then there is something very important that you need to know. UPCAT is for dreamers like you. Every student who passed the UPCAT began thinking or dreaming of passing the UPCAT. Your near-perfect or perfect score in a quarterly test, your cellphone, PSP, or any gadget, your out-of-town (or out-ofcountry) vacation, your new pair of shoes, and any other stuff that you desired and now possess - are all the result of your ‘dream come true’. What this means is that throughout your lifetime, you have had an idea, you have desired for many things and worked hard for them, overcome problems and ultimately transformed your dream into reality. And if hundreds and thousands of students have been able to pass the UPCAT in the past, by starting with a dream, then it stands to reason, that you can do it too. Often we make the mistake of thinking that UPCAT is for a small number of bright students who have the brains and intelligence that we don’t possess. But this is simply not true. The fact that thousands of average students have brought their dreams of passing the UPCAT to fruition in the past demonstrates that the opportunity to qualify in the UPCAT is something that is available to each UPCAT aspirant – average or bright. Right now, hundreds of UPCAT dreamers are taking the steps necessary to achieve the goals of passing the UPCAT. Some are studying this early, some are joining community of fellow dreamers, and some are attending review classes. What is it that you need to do? In order to achieve your goal of passing the UPCAT, the only things you really need are: (1) A crystal clear picture that you already passed the UPCAT (2) An unshakeable determination to do whatever it takes to make your dream of passing the UPCAT a reality As soon as you take these two steps, passing the UPCAT becomes achievable. If you need a help – you look for it. If you encounter a difficult concept – you find a way to understand it. If you can’t solve a math problem – you try and try and practice more. And gradually, step-by-step, you bring your UPCAT dream into reality to join the dreams of the thousands of UPCAT dreamers who have gone before you. So today I’d like to encourage you to believe in yourself and appreciate the fact that you live in a world where ‘dreams do come true’. Understand that thousands of students have made their UPCAT dream a reality in the past – Thousands more will make their UPCAT dream a reality in the near future and you CAN be one of them.

Passage 3: It is not easy to write a familiar style. Many people mistake a familiar for a vulgar style, and suppose that to write without affection is to write at random. On the contrary, there is nothing that requires more precision, and, if I ma may y say so, purity of expression, than the style I am speaking of. It utterly rejects not only all unmeaning pomp, but all low, cant phrases, and loose, unconnected slipshod allusions. It is not to take the first word that offers, but the best word in common use; it is not to throw words together in any combination we please, but to follow and avail ourselves of the true idiom of the language. To write a genuine familiar or truly English style is to write as anyone would speak in common conversation who had a thorough command and choice of words, or who could discourse with ease, force, and perspicuity, setting aside all pedantic and oratorical flourishes. Or, to give another illustration, to write naturally is the same thing in regard to common conversation a ass to read naturally is in regard to common speech. It does not follow that it is an easy thing to give the true accent and inflection to the words you utter, because you do not attempt to rise above the level of ordinary life and colloquial speaking. You d do o not assume, indeed, the solemnity of the pulpit, or the tone of stage declamation; neither are you at liberty to gabble on at a venture, without emphasis or discretion, or to resort to vulgar dialect or clownish pronunciation. You must steer a middle cou course. rse. You are tied down to a given appropriate articulation, which is determined by habitual associations between sense and sound, and which you can only hit by entering into the author’s meaning, as you must find the proper words and style to express yourself yours by fixing your thoughts on the subject you have to write about. Anyone may mouth out a passage with theatrical cadence, or get upon stilts to tell his thoughts; but to write or speak with propriety and simplicity is a more difficult task. Thus it is easy ea to affect a pompous style, to use a word twice as big as the thing you want to express: it is not easy to pitch upon the very word that exactly fits it. Out of eight or ten words equally common, equally intelligible, with nearly equal pretensions, it is a matter of some nicety and discrimination to pick out the very one the preferableness of which is scarcely perceptible, but decisive.

SIMULATED UPCAT ©2011 Passage 4: Studies serve forr delight, for ornament, and for ability. Their chief use for delight, is in privateness and retiring; for ornament, is in discourse; and for ability, is in the judgment, and disposition of business. For expert men can execute, and perhaps judge of particulars, particu one by one; but the general counsels, and the plots and marshalling of affairs, come best, from those that are learned. To spend too much time in studies is sloth; to use them too much for ornament, is affectation; to make judgment wholly by their ru rules, les, is the humor of a scholar. They perfect nature, and are perfected by experience: for natural abilities are like natural plants, that need pruning, by study; and studies themselves, do give forth directions too much at large, except they be bounded in by experience. Crafty men contemn studies, simple men admire them, and wise men use them; for they teach not their own use; but that there is a wisdom without them, and above them, won by observation. Read not to contradict and confute; nor to believe and take for granted; nor to find talk and discourse; but to weigh and consider. Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested; that is, some books are to be read only in parts; others to be read, but not curiously;; and some few to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention. Some books also may be read by deputy, and extracts made of them by others; but that would be only in the less important arguments, and the meaner sort of books, else distilled books are like l common distilled waters, flashy things. Reading maketh a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man. And therefore, if a man write little, he had need have a great memory; if he confer little, he had need have a present wit: and if he rread ead little, he had need have much cunning, to seem to know, that he doth not. Histories make men wise; poets witty; the mathematics subtile; natural philosophy deep; moral grave; logic and rhetoric able to contend. Abeunt studia in mores. Nay, there is no stone or impediment in the wit, but may be wrought out by fit studies; like as diseases of the body, may have appropriate exercises. Bowling is good for the stone and reins; shooting for the lungs and breast; gentle walking for the stomach; riding for the head; and the like. So if a man's wit be wandering, let him study the mathematics; for in demonstrations, if his wit be called away never so little, he must begin again. If his wit be not apt to distinguish or find differences, let him study the Schoolmen; for they are cymini sectores. If he be not apt to beat over matters, and to call up one thing to prove and illustrate another, let him study the lawyers' cases. So every defect of the mind may have a special receipt.

The attitude expressed toward outlines in place of books themselves is one of A. modified approval C. enthusiastic acceptance B. utter disdain D. pretended acclaim Passage 5: When we use a word in speech and writing, its most obvious purpose is to point to some thing or relation or property. This is the word’s “meaning.” We see a small four four-footed footed animal on the road and call it a “dog,” indicating that it is a member of the class of four four-footed footed animals that we call dogs. The word “dog” as we have used it there ha hass a plain, straightforward, “objective” meaning. We have in no way gone beyond the requirements of exact scientific description. Let us suppose also that one grandparent of the dog was a collie, another was an Irish terrier, another a fox terrier, and a fo fourth urth a bulldog. We can express these facts equally scientifically and objectively by saying that he is a dog of mixed breed. Still we have in no way gone beyond the requirements of exact scientific description. Suppose, however, that we had called the same animal a “mongrel.” The matter is more complicated. We have used a word that objectively means the same as “dog of mixed breed,” but which also arouses in our hearers an emotional attitude of disproval toward that particular dog. A word, therefore, can no nott only indicate an object, but can also suggest an emotional attitude toward it. Such suggestion of an emotional attitude does go beyond exact and scientific discussion because our approvals and disapprovals are individual – they belong to ourselves and nott to the objects we approve or disapprove of. An animal which to the mind of its master is a faithful and noble dog of mixed ancestry may be a “mongrel” to his neighbor whose chickens are chased by it. Once we are on the lookout for this difference betwe between en “objective” and “emotional” meanings, we shall notice that words which carry more or less strong suggestions of emotional attitudes are very common and are ordinarily used in the discussion of such controversial questions as those of politics, morals, a and nd religion. This is one reason why such controversies cannot yet be settled. When during World War II, thoughts were dominated by emotions, the newspapers contrasted the heroism of American troops with the enemy’s ruthlessness. Now, with the more objective objectiv attitude that has been brought by the lapse of time, we can look back and see that heroism and ruthlessness are objectively the same thing, only one word has an emotional meaning of approval, the other of disapproval. A soldier going forward under shellf shellfire ire to probable death is doing the same thing whether he is German or American. Applying the word ruthlessness to the action of one and heroism to that of the other is to distort reality by using words to make an emotional distinction between two actions w which are objectively identical.
