Monday Mastery is here! ๐Ÿš€

Start your week with a spatial reasoning challenge that tests your ability to visualize and count the edges and faces of a 3D figure. ๐Ÿง ๐Ÿ“

Staircase-shaped solids may look familiar โ€” but once you start counting every edge and face carefully, keeping track of each surface and connecting line becomes the real challenge.

๐Ÿ’ก Tip:
Not everything that looks like an edge is one โ€” and not everything hidden should be ignored. This figure will test whether you truly understand the relationship between edges and faces, or whether you are just counting what catches your eye first.

Can you determine the number of edges and faces of this 3D figure?

๐ŸŽ“ MEET THE TUTORS: NCE '27 Edition

Meet Gwyneth Vera Costillas.

A proud graduate of PSHS Eastern Visayas Campus (Batch 2020, Kulawi), where she was honored as "Pinakamahusay sa Pananaliksik" (Best in Research) and graduated With High Honors. Today, she is a medical student at the UP College of Medicine โ€” carrying forward the same discipline that shaped her Pisay journey.

Her approach to mastery is simple: active recall through flashcards, paired with teaching each concept to someone else โ€” a method that turns knowledge into true understanding.

The Abstract Reasoning section once posed her greatest challenge in the NCE. She met it with deliberate, focused practice โ€” training her eye for the logic and patterns beneath each problem, a skill she carries with her still.

This is the caliber of mentorship your child will learn from at TYS โ€” guided by those who have walked this exact path, and excelled.

๐ŸŽ“โœจ PISAY ICON | DID YOU KNOW?

Before pioneering smart, clean energy solutions across Southeast Asia, Dr. Erees Queen B. Macabebe was a Pisay scholar with a passion for using science for the public good.

A PSHS Western Visayas Campus ('98) alumna and Gawad Dabadaba awardee, Dr. Macabebe is a leading voice in renewable tech. Today, she serves as Associate Chair at Ateneo de Manila University, leads its Energy Research Laboratory, and co-founded SolarSolutions, Inc..

Her team combines AI and the Internet of Things (IoT) to build smart energy monitoring systems that make clean power affordable and accessible. Her groundbreaking work earned her the 2020 NAST Outstanding Young Scientist award and a prestigious 2023 Hitachi Asia Innovation Award!

From Pisay classrooms to green energy breakthroughs, Dr. Macabebe proves that innovation powered by purpose can light up our future. ๐Ÿ’ก๐Ÿ’š

Monday Mastery is here! ๐Ÿš€

Start your week with a vocabulary challenge that tests your knowledge of word meanings in context. ๐Ÿง ๐Ÿ“–

Some words are designed to sound impressive โ€” but sophistry is one that the NCE loves to test because it trips up even the most prepared students. Understanding how a word functions in a sentence is just as important as knowing its definition.

๐Ÿ’ก Tip:
Don't just look at the word in isolation โ€” pay attention to how it is used in the sentence. The context gives you the biggest clue!

Which word best defines sophistry?

๐ŸŽ“โœจ MORE PISAY ALUMNI. MORE MENTORS. MORE GUIDANCE.

As our TYS family continues to grow, so does our team of mentors! ๐Ÿ’™

To ensure that every student receives the guidance, support, and attention they deserve, we're excited to welcome four more Pisay alumni to our 2027 Pisay NCE Review Program.

Every mentor on our team has walked the same journey your child is about to begin. They understand the challenges of preparing for the PSHS National Competitive Examinationโ€”not just academically, but mentally and emotionally as well.

At The Young Scholar, we believe that great preparation goes beyond lectures. It's about having mentors who inspire confidence, answer questions, and encourage students every step of the way.

Thank you for trusting us with your child's Pisay journey. We can't wait for you to meet the newest members of our mentor team! ๐Ÿš€

๐ŸŒŸ TYS Spotlight: Thyrdey Aiden James B. Poblador ๐ŸŒŸ

This is what it looks like when preparation meets purpose! ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŽ‰ He has officially passed the Philippine Science High School Lateral Admissions Qualifying Examination (LAQE) 2025/26, earning his well-deserved spot at the PSHS SOCCSKSARGEN Region Campus (SRC)! ๐Ÿซโœจ

Thyrdey, there is something truly special about a scholar who shows up with both the mind and the heart for it โ€” and you are exactly that. Every challenge you faced, every concept you mastered, and every moment you chose to keep going brought you to this incredible milestone.

Notre Dame of Tacurong College Junior High School Department has reason to celebrate, and the SOCCSKSARGEN Region Campus is gaining a scholar of real promise. We are honored to have been part of the journey that led you here. Step into Pisay ready to grow, explore, and make your mark. ๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿš€

Guided by those who've walked the path. Inspired by your success. We are proud of you, our new young scholar! ๐Ÿ’™

Monday Mastery is here! ๐Ÿš€

Start your week with an abstract reasoning challenge that tests your ability to spot hidden patterns in numbers. ๐Ÿง ๐Ÿ”ข

Perfect squares may look familiar โ€” but when all four numbers share a common property, finding the one that breaks the pattern requires a sharper eye and deeper thinking than it first appears.

๐Ÿ’ก Tip:
Don't just check if the numbers are perfect squares โ€” dig deeper and look at the roots themselves. The pattern lies beyond the surface!

Which number does not belong?
