PROJECT LEADS

JLSS 2024 National Review and Examination Initiative

NOTE
Project LEADS is a project by a total of 38 participating Scholar Regional
Councils and Scholars Association/Organization across the Philippines. This
initiative seeks to establish a comprehensive online examination review
program for aspiring DOST-SEI Junior Level Science Scholars. Its primary
objective is to adequately prepare participants for the forthcoming 2024 DOST-
SEI JLSS examination, scheduled to take place on July 28, 2024.

This is not the actual JLSS examination content and is not affiliated with the
DOST- SEI. The reviewer was made for the aspiring JLSS DOST Scholars.

This is free to use and distribute.

 ABOUT THE JLSS EXAMINATION
This is based on the primer by the DOST-SEI. Primer Link: jlssprimer.pdf (dost.gov.ph)

The examination is multiple-choice consisting of four (4) parts/subjects:

Mathematics, Science, English and Logical Reasoning with sub-parts consisting:
Spatial, Mechanical and Verbal. It will be taken for around four (4) hours which
consist of the reading of instructions, filling out forms, and actual testing. If a
part is finished before the allocated time, it is not allowed to proceed to the next
part. The time can be used to review the answers for that particular section.
The examiners will not be allowed to leave the room once the examination
begins except to the comfort room, when necessary.

The following topics may be reviewed for the JLSS Examination:

1. SCIENCE
A. Physics
B. Biology
C. Chemistry
D. Sampling Techniques (Reseach)
E. Scientific Names (Taxonomy)
F. Branches of Sciences and its Etymology
G. Groundbreaking discoveries

2. MATH
A. Algebra
B. Geometry
C. Trigonometry

3. ENGLISH
A. Grammar and Syntax
B. Vocabulary
C. Reading Comprehension
D. Linguistic Competence
