It is advised to register using a desktop or laptop. After you submit, you should expect a confirmation via email or SMS confirming receipt of your initial information. This step initiates the testing phase and sets expectations for the next requirements.

2. Document validation and initial screening: You will be asked to proceed with testing and validation of several documents at the Guidance Office on the testing date. Bring the child's passport, the visa/residence card, the birth certificate (with English translation if not Filipino), and a recent report card. These documents are required for verification before testing proceeds. An initial check of documents happens before you enter the testing area.

3. Entrance exam day procedures and testing fee: On the day of the learner's entrance exam, you should report to the Guidance Office for validation of the testing schedule and to have passport data encoded; ask for Ms. Ma.
