Acknowledgment
To my mom, Analyn N. Torizuka, for your all-out support in my entire life, even after I spent more
than four years playing games on the computer. I love you so much! Without you, I am nothing.
To my sister, Vera-Lee A. Tondo, for always sensing my emotions and knowing everything that I
am going through. Your unwavering support kept me sane, especially after the lowest points in my life.
To my daughter, Aira Quineisha R. Tondo, for being the sweetest, most loving daughter I could
ever ask for. I have been loving you since the day you were born, and I will always be very proud of you.
To my teachers and professors, for molding me into the person I am today. You have taken good
care of me, even with my special needs. You did your best to understand me, brought out the best in me,
and inspired me to be in the same profession as you. I will always be grateful for your gift.
To Ma’am Romana Valdecasa, for turning a poor nobody into someone who speaks and breathes
Mathematics. You saw my potential and made me shine brighter than any star. You really are my second
mother – you figuratively gave birth to the successful Victor that I am now. I can never thank you enough.
To Ma’am Joaquina Birung, for always looking after me. You have been a very crucial factor to my
success during high school and even during college. You took me under your wings. You have been my
teacher, my coach, my mentor, my cooperating teacher, and of course, one of my favorite mothers.
To Sir Pedro Suyu, to Sir Manuel Belango, and to the beautiful Ma’am Apolinaria Andres, for
instilling in me the principles that a teacher must live by.
To my beloved Ma’am Sally Caldez, for never giving up on me. You are perhaps my second lola, and
I will always love you. May you rest in peace.
To Ma’am Loida Calonia, for teaching me your Christian ways. While others have given up when
they knew I am an atheist, you stood by my side patiently. When I was close to committing suicide, you
were there to guide me. You extended my life past the age of 30.
To my “daughters” Marone Khyme and Marby Alzate, for treating me not only as your tutor but
also as a friend, as your tatay, and as your mentor. I love you both, and I have always been proud of you.
To my students, tutees, reviewees, subscribers, and friends, for always believing in me.
At sa aking Inang Bayan, inaalay ko sa iyo itong unang lathalain ko. Ang tanging hangad ko lang ay
ang ika-uunlad mo.

Tips for Reviewing
1. Expand your Mathematical vocabulary. You will find it difficult to learn concepts when your
Mathematical vocabulary is limited.
2. Do not memorize the answers. Instead, know how to use the solution, how it works, and when it should
be used.
3. Remember that there are many ways to deal with problems. Nobody wants a long solution when there
are several shortcuts out there.
4. Try answering the items first before reading the solutions or explanations. This will give you an idea on
your current standing and at the same time, what kinds of questions you should expect in the exam.
5. Familiarize yourself with your own scientific calculator. Know where the different buttons are, like nPr,
nCr, and n!. You should also know what these buttons do, and how to make them function.
Strategies in Answering the Mathematics Test

During the Licensure Exam
1. Keep track of the time. Before answering the questions, take note of the number of items and the time
allotted for the exam. Estimate the average time you should allot for each item.
2. Scan the items. Go over the test booklet quickly to get an idea of the types of questions or problems in
the test (such as word problems, analysis of graphs and tables, simple equations). This will help you
determine the appropriate pace to take in answering the test.
3. Pace yourself. Work quickly on topics you have mastered without being rash and careless. When you
encounter a difficult question, skip it and move on to less difficult ones. When you have finished
answering all the easy questions, go back to the skipped items.
4. Keep your pen going. On your second reading of the item, create a picture of the problem and draw that
picture on your scratch paper. Take down the relevant facts (numbers, units, dimensions), specially what
is asked for in the problem. Many items that seem difficult on first reading become easier to handle after
the facts have been taken down.
5. Visualize, draw diagrams. These help in answering word problems. Familiarize yourself with the types
of diagrams in every topic as these may prove useful in solving problems.
6. Eliminate choices. The right answer can be determined if all but one of the choices are eliminated.
Don’t easily give up on difficult items.
7. Work backwards. This method is useful if you find it difficult to start a solution to a problem. To work
backwards is similar to a trial-and-error on the choices. This can also be used to check if your answer is
correct.

A. 5 B. 6 C. 7 D. 8
Solution:
Solution:
First, find the cost of each “man-day”.
Remember that for a number to be divisible by 9, 4 men x 5 days = 20 man-days
the sum of its digits must be equal to 9.
P9,000 ÷ 20 man-days = P450 per man-day
3+4+k+6+7 = 20+k
2+0+k = 2 + k = 9; k=7 You may now solve the problem.
................................................ 5 men x 6 days = 30 man-days
30 man-days x P450 per man-day = P13,500

187. “The temperature in Baguio City is 20o
Solution: while the temperature in Tuguegarao City is
40o”. What level of data is temperature in
M and T are opposite angles,
degrees Celsius?
therefore m M = m T.
7x – 12 = 5x + 32 C. Interval D. Ratio
7x – 5x = 32 + 12
2x = 44 Explanation:
x = 22
Since you cannot infer that Tuguegarao City is
.: m M = 7(22)-12 = 154-12 = 142 TWICE AS HOT as Baguio City, then the data is
M and A are consecutive angles, not ratio.
therefore m M + m A = 180. Remember: Temperature in degrees Celsius or
142 + m A = 180 Fahrenheit is interval, but temperature in Kelvin
m A = 180 – 142 is ratio.
