The Term 1 Examination Materials for Key Stage 1 (Grades 1–3) are designed to help teachers measure how well learners have developed the expected knowledge and skills during the first term. These assessment materials are prepared with reference to the revised classroom assessment guidelines provided under DepEd Order No. 15, s. 2026, which sets updated policies on classroom assessment, grading, and learner recognition under the three-term school system.
Coverage of the Examination
The tests mainly assess the learning competencies taught during Weeks 7–11 of Term 1. Important and foundational competencies introduced during the earlier weeks may also be included, particularly those that learners need to retain and apply in succeeding lessons.
Test content follows the Term 1 Budget of Work (BOW) and should correspond with the lessons actually delivered in the classroom. Teachers are therefore encouraged to review the coverage and adjust individual items when necessary to ensure that the assessment reflects what their learners have studied.
30-Item Tests for Grades 1–3
For these DepEdClick Term 1 Examination Materials, every subject is presented in a 30-item multiple-choice format:
Grade 1 – 30 items per subject
Grade 2 – 30 items per subject
Grade 3 – 30 items per subject
The questions are developed with Bloom’s Taxonomy in mind, allowing learners to demonstrate different levels of thinking such as recalling information, explaining ideas, understanding concepts, and applying what they have learned.
The 30-item format is not a fixed requirement of DepEd Order No. 15, s. 2026. For Key Stage 1, the number and type of assessment items should remain appropriate to the learners’ age, developmental level, and learning needs. Thus, the 30-item structure used in these DepEdClick materials serves only as a ready-made assessment format that teachers may revise, shorten, expand, or contextualize as needed.
These examination materials are intended to serve as supplementary assessment resources for teachers. Before administering them, teachers should still consider the competencies actually covered in class, the readiness of their learners, and the suitability of each test item. Professional judgment remains essential in ensuring that assessment is fair, relevant, and appropriate for every class.
