The Key Stage 3 Term 1 Examination Materials for Grades 7–10 are designed to provide teachers with a comprehensive assessment of learners’ achievement during the first term. The preparation of these materials takes into account the assessment principles and requirements set under DepEd Order No. 15, s. 2026, particularly the need to align classroom assessment with the competencies actually taught.
For junior high school learners, the examination is intended not only to check their understanding of recent lessons but also to determine whether they can retain, connect, and apply important concepts introduced earlier in the term.
What Does the Examination Cover?
The Term 1 examinations primarily assess the learning competencies covered during Weeks 7–11. Selected critical competencies from the earlier weeks of Term 1 are also incorporated to provide a more balanced assessment of learners’ overall progress.
The test coverage follows the Term 1 Budget of Work (BOW) and considers the actual lessons delivered in the classroom. This helps ensure that learners are assessed on competencies that have already been discussed, practiced, and developed during instruction.
50-Item Multiple-Choice Tests
For these DepEdClick examination materials, each subject contains 50 multiple-choice questions:
Grade 7 – 50 items per subject
Grade 8 – 50 items per subject
Grade 9 – 50 items per subject
Grade 10 – 50 items per subject
The questions are developed using Bloom’s Taxonomy as a framework. Test items include varying levels of cognitive demand, such as remembering and understanding concepts, applying knowledge to given situations, analyzing information, and demonstrating higher-order thinking when appropriate.
The 50-item format is the structure adopted for these DepEdClick materials. Teachers may still revise, replace, or remove individual questions depending on their accomplished competencies, instructional pacing, and the readiness of their learners.
Consistent with the principles of DepEd Order No. 15, s. 2026, assessment should remain meaningful, appropriate, and closely connected to the learning experiences provided during the term. Teacher validation therefore remains an important step before the examination is administered.
