ACET Results for AY 2012-2013 Freshmen

Just an update for everyone who took the Ateneo College EntranceTest in September, 2011: the ACET 2012 Results are now out. Again, it should be clarified that this is the ACET results for SY 2012-2013 incoming freshmen.

Where to check ACET results 2012 – 2013:

Go to the Ateneo de Manila University (ADMU) website, specifically to the ACET Results page(http://ls.ateneo.edu/acet_results.php). You can also visit the ADMU Loyola Heights Campus; the list of ACET qualifiers for School Year 2012-2013 is posted at the bulletin boards at the Blue Eagle Gym.

Checking ACET Results Online

Go to the ACET Results Database (http://ls.ateneo.edu/acet_results.php). Once the page has loaded, enter your last name, first name and your middle name in the appropriate fields.

Tips on searching for your name in the Ateneo College Application Results Database:

• If you are Juan de la Cruz III and your wrote your name as such in your ACET Application papers, you should include the III suffix in the last name field.
• If you have two first names, you should write both names in the first name field. If you can’t find your name and if one of your first names is usually shortened (e.g. Ma. instead of Maria)then you should try all possible variations.
•  Don’t leave any of the three fields blank. If, for instance, you don’t have a middle name, you must use a dash (a hyphen, really) in the middle name field.
• If your name has an ñ on it, don’t replace it with an n when you search for your name in the 2012 ACET Results database. Keyboard shortcut for ñ is Ctrl+Alt+164 (if you’re using a laptop or a netbook, you may have to put your keypad on numlock first).
• Most important tip of all: as a rule of thumb, use the exact information you used in your application papers. Even if you have a III in your name, you should not use that when you search the ACET Results online database if you did not include such a suffix in your application documents.
