Which

review

program

should

join

for

the

UP

Law

Aptitude

Exam?

The answer depends largely on your study habits and preferences.

If you would like to study on your own, then you can just purchase the LAE
Prepper Reviewer. You can have a DIY (Do-It-Yourself) UP LAE review at your own pace and
time.
If you would like to attend a review which summarizes all the covered subjects in a day or two, then
you can join the 1 Day or 2 Day UP LAE Review. The major difference between these two
programs is that the 2 Day UP LAE Review devotes one whole day to Mathematics.
If you would like to attend review classes with a group, and if you want to work on more drills and
exercises, then you can join the Full UP LAE Review. This is an 8-day / 64-hour review program
which discusses each subject in detail.
