LINGAYEN, Pangasinan --  Some 600 examinees from Pangasinan are expected to take the nationwide simultaneous Philippine Military Academy (PMA) entrance examination on Sunday at the Narciso Ramos Sports and Civic Center (NRSCC) gymnasium here.

Lt. Col. William Romero, officer-in-charge for the PMA entrance examination here, said in an interview on Friday that the number of processed applications has reached 137 as of Friday.

“For this year's examinees and for those planning to enter PMA, they should review on Mathematics (covering algebra, basic statistics, geometry); English (grammar, reading comprehension, vocabulary); and Abstraction (numerical and pattern analysis). To be prepared physically, they have to strengthen their bodies through push-ups, sit-ups and jogging,” he said.

In 2017, the total number of examinees in Pangasinan reached 567, of which, only 23 successfully passed the entrance test.

However, only eight of them made it to the PMA after passing the medical and physical examinations, he added. (PNA)
