For the first time in the history of the University of the Philippines College Admission Test, a visually impaired high school senior will take the entrance exam to the country’s premier university using a test booklet entirely produced using a Braille printer or embosser.

While this is not the first time that the UPCAT will be administered to someone with a visual impairment, it is the firs time the UP will use a Braille booklet as part of what is known as the Special UPCAT administered to students with disabilities.
