Hi. I don’t believe they are.
I don’t believe so.
Hi. Is there an extension to entrance exam to incoming grade 7 due to covid 19 lockdown?
Hello. If you’re asking about the 2021 exams, I’m certain it’s a little to early to tell. The Manila Science Admissions Test is held every January, so a lot of things could still happen between now and the day of the exam.

Hi Ma’am,
I would like to ask if you have any update or information on the status of admission at Manila Science High School for AY 2021-2022. Thank you.
Hello. There are no announcements so far.

Hey, just wondering, on average, how many students take the MSAT annually?
Only the MaSci admissions people would know, but I reckon around 4k-5k (don’t quote me on that, though).
