What is the NAT?
The National Achievement Test (NAT) is a Philippine‐madestandardized test designed to determine pupils/students’achievement level, strengths and weaknesses in five keycurricular subject areas at the end of the school year.
7
What is the purpose of the NAT?
The NAT was developed to measure what pupils/students in Grade Three, Grade Six and Second 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 in Grade Three, Grade Six and Second Year 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. determine the rate of improvement in basic education with respect to individual schools within certain time frames.
8
Who are the target clienteles of the NAT?
Grade 3 ‐ public schools only
Grade 6 ‐ both public andprivate schools
Year 2 ‐ both public and private schools

How is the NAT developed?
11
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.
12
What is the rationale of DepEd in administering the NAT in Grade Three, Grade Six and Second Year?
The NAT, which is a system‐based assessment, was specifically designed to gauge learning outcomes across target levels in identified periods of basic education. In particular, it spans from mid assessment of elementary education which falls on the third grade, and then to a terminal exit assessment which falls on the sixth grade. The test results in NAT‐Grade Six can likewise serve as measurement of incoming first year students’ readiness for high school.
On the other hand, the NAT for Second Year high school serves as mid assessment of the secondary level.
13
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 Mastery Level Descriptive Equivalent on the obtained 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.

How are the NAT scores reported and interpreted to each examinee?
• The COR comprises the Percentage of Correct Responses (PCR) per learning competency by subject area. The PCR is interpreted using the Achievement Level Descriptive Equivalent below.
Percentage Descriptive Equivalent96% ‐ 100% Mastered86 % ‐ 95% Closely Approximating Mastery66 % ‐ 85 % Moving Towards Mastery35 % ‐ 65% Average Mastery16% ‐ 34% Low Mastery5% ‐ 15% Very Low Mastery0 % ‐ 4% Absolutely No Mastery
Achievement Level
19
Is there a passing score in the NAT?
The NAT has no passing grade or score. It uses the Mean Percentage Score (MPS) to indicate the percentage of correctly answered items in a test. For instance, a 50 MPS would mean that an examinee correctly answered 20 of a 40‐item subject area test. The computation of grades in school, however, is done very differently from the NAT (Refer to DepED Order No. 70, s. 2003, “Revised Grading System for Elementary and Secondary Schools; www.deped.gov.ph).
20
Does an MPS below 75 mean that the examinees failed the test?
An MPS below 75 does not mean thatpupils/students who took the test failed it. Forinstance, a 66 MPS in the total test would mean thatthe examinees were “moving towards mastery.” TheNAT uses a seven‐descriptive equivalent ofAchievement Level based on the normal curve whereinan MPS of 75 and above is a national target.
