1. What is the NAT?
The National Achievement Test (NAT) is a
Philippine-made standardized test designed to
determine pupils/students’ achievement level,
strengths and weaknesses in five key curricular subject
areas at the end of the school year.

2. What is the purpose of the NAT?
The NAT was developed to measure what pupils/students in Grade Three,
Grade Six and Fourth Year know and can do in five subject areas: Science,
Mathematics, English, Filipino, and HeKaSi (Heograpiya, Kasaysayan at Sibika) in
elementary and Araling Panlipunan in secondary level.
Specifically, the test aims to:
1.
provide empirical information on the achievement level of pupils/students
to serve as guide for policy makers, administrators, curriculum planners,
supervisors, principals and teachers in their respective courses of action.
2. identify and analyze variations on achievement levels across the years by
region, division, school and other variables
3
3. determine the rate of improvement in basic education with respect to
individual schools within certain time frames.
3. Who are the target clienteles of the
NAT in 2014?
Grade 3 - public schools (census)
- Madrasah schools
Grade 6 - public and private schools (census)
Year 4 - public and private schools (census)

6. What features characterize the NAT?
• A multiple-choice test
• A sampling of competencies intended for the whole year
coverage
• A standardized test with mostly moderately difficult items
• Anchored on Bloom’s Taxonomy of Cognitive Objectives /
Dimensions
• High-Ordered Thinking Skills (HOTS)
• The performance of an examinee is compared to the
performance of a national populace.
• The rating is expressed in percentage score or percent of
correct responses.

7. What is the rationale of DepEd in administering the
NAT in Grade Three, Grade Six and Fourth Year?
The NAT is a system-based assessment specifically designed to gauge
learning outcomes across target levels in identified periods of basic education.
NAT-Grade Three
- Pursuant to Every Child a Reader Program (ECARP), it serves as midassessment of elementary education.
NAT-Grade Six
- It serves as terminal exit assessment of elementary education and as
measurement of incoming first year students’ readiness for high school
(pursuant to DepED Order No. 5, s. 2005).
NAT-Fourth Year
- It serves as exit assessment of the secondary level of basic education
(pursuant to DepED Order No. 5, s. 2005).

8. What information is derived from the NAT
Certificate of Rating (NAT-COR)?
• Raw scores obtained by an examinee five subjects are
reported in a table alongside with the percentage scores.
• Total test scores for raw and percentage scores are revealed
at the bottom part of the table.
• A quartile distribution of the obtained of mean percentage
scores is provided to guide end-users in interpreting test
results.
• Percentage of Correct Responses (PCR) per learning
competency by subject area is likewise presented to have a
glimpse on the performance of the pupil/student in every
skill measured in the test.

9. How are the NAT scores reported and
interpreted to each examinee?
15
The NAT results are interpreted in quartile distribution of Mean
Percentage Scores (MPS) to indicate the percentage of correctly answered
items in a test or subject area proficiencies. It is also used in classifying
test performances of schools, divisions, regions and the total country.
For example: Performance of School X
• School X has overall Mean Percentage Score (MPS) of 52%. It is
classified as upper average in school performance.
• School X has MPS of 80% in English. It has superior performance
in English.

10. How is the Mean Percentage Score
(MPS) interpreted?
The MPS indicates the ratio between the number of
correctly answered items and the total number of test
questions or the percentage of correctly answered items in a
test.
•
For instance, a 50 MPS in one subject area would mean that
an examinee correctly answered 20 out of 40 test items
(NAT-Grade 6).
•
On the other hand, a 60 MPS for a total score means that
an examinee correctly answered 6 out of 10 questions in the
test.
•

11. Is there a passing score in the NAT?
None.
It uses the MPS to indicate the percentage of
correctly answered items in a test.
The computation of grades in school, however, is
done very differently from the NAT.

on the Assessment and Rating of Learning Outcomes
under the K to 12 Basic Education Curriculum;

12. Does an MPS below 75 mean that the
examinees failed the test?
• No.
• An MPS below 75 would mean that the examinees’
test performance does not belong to the upper average
of the total number of test-takers.
• The standard criterion set by the Department in terms
of achievement level is 75% which is the national target.
