UNIFIED TEST CONSTRUCTION OF QUARTERLY EXAMINATIONS
19 SEP 2017
This is to inform all public elementary and secondary schools that construction and release of all
quarterly examinations shall be initiated by the Curriculum Implementation Division of the Schools
Division of Davao City. This is to ensure that the quarterly examinations being given to our leamers are
well ~ distributed across the competences assigned in each quarter based on the most recent
curriculum guides. Furthermore, this is to guarantee that all quarterly examinations are valid, reliable,
gender- and culture-sensitive, and supports localization! contextualization/ incigenization
Due to the peculiarity of the Senior High School offerings of public schools, they are enjoined to
prepare their respective quarterly examinations based on their school offerings. Guidelines on
classroom assessment are detailed in DepEd Order No. 8, s. 2015.
‘All guidelines stated in Part C of Division Memorandum No. 00538, s. 207 re: “Validation of Test
Questions for the Quarterly Examinations” are hereby rescinded.
For information and compliance,
