KEY STAGE 3 | TERM 1 EXAMINATIONS With TOS (Grades 7-10)

The Term 1 Examination Materials for Key Stage 3 learners in Grades 7–10 are prepared to help teachers evaluate how well learners have understood and developed the competencies taught throughout the first term. These materials are guided by the classroom assessment principles provided in DepEd Order No. 15, s. 2026, with emphasis on aligning assessment tasks with the actual competencies and learning experiences completed in class.

At the junior high school level, the examination is intended to measure more than simple recall. It also checks whether learners can understand relationships among ideas, apply knowledge in different situations, and use previously learned concepts in more complex tasks.

Examination Coverage

The tests place primary emphasis on the learning competencies taught during Weeks 7–11 of Term 1. Important critical and essential competencies from the earlier weeks may also be included to determine whether learners have retained and can still apply foundational knowledge and skills.

The scope of each examination is based on the Term 1 Budget of Work (BOW) and should reflect the lessons and competencies actually completed during classroom instruction. Since the pacing of lessons may differ from one class or school to another, teachers should confirm that every item falls within their accomplished coverage.

50-Item Multiple-Choice Tests for Grades 7–10

For these DepEdClick Term 1 Examination Materials, each subject follows a 50-item multiple-choice format:

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 with Bloom’s Taxonomy as a guide in providing an appropriate range of cognitive demands. Learners may be asked to recall information, explain concepts, apply what they have learned, analyze given situations, and demonstrate higher-order thinking skills when appropriate to the subject and grade level.

The 50-item format is the assessment structure adopted for these DepEdClick materials and is not intended to serve as a fixed requirement for all Key Stage 3 examinations. Teachers may modify the number of items, replace questions, adjust difficulty, or remove competencies that have not yet been discussed.

Before administration, teachers are encouraged to carefully review and validate the examination based on their actual instructional coverage, accomplished competencies, class pacing, learner readiness, and local school context.

These materials are best treated as flexible assessment resources that can support teachers in preparing a fair, relevant, and instructionally aligned Term 1 examination while allowing professional judgment to remain central to the assessment process.
