Introduction
It is indeed to test the learning of every single person so that you will know their
mastery. Hence, beforehand of undergoing exams the students who will be assessed are
trying to recall all their past lessons with the help of reviewer materials.
Since humankinds are not similar to as computer who can process a lot of
information and store it on their CPU, then one must do reviewing. By that, their

are some who believes that it was not, but most commonly before exams, learners want to

because of limited sources of information and they do not have specific manual or
reviewer material for the said competency of them. Though their accountancy teacher
Mrs. Cancino provided them sample transaction but there are some insights that was not
explained thoroughly to the students since no one can validate information other than her.
By that, the researchers was motivated to conduct this type of study as per also suggested

Statement of the Problem
This study aims to determine the significance of acquiring review material ahead of
taking NCIII Bookkeeping Assessment for the grade 12 ABM Students of Silangan

by having some sort of material like books, handouts, learner’s material or even attending
review sessions on a training center which is quite costly for a grade 12 students who

generic term used to describe the resources teachers use to deliver instruction. Teaching
material can support student learning and increase student success. And it can refer to a
number of teacher resources; however the term usually refers to concrete examples such
as worksheets or manipulative (learning tools or games that student can handle to help
Learning materials are important because it can help to increase the student’s
student an opportunity to practice their skill. Just like what happen in Silangan National
High School last March 2019, when some of grade 11 and 12 ABM students are
preparing and reviewing for their upcoming NCIII assessment examination. Their adviser
Mrs. Rubylyn A. Cancino, provide a sample transaction for her students and those serves
as their review materials that has been useful for their review sessions. It is also intended
for the teacher to know the capacity and the knowledge of every student in journalizing
and preparing the financial statements. Because of that review materials, Mrs. Cancino
will able to know if her students are capable of taking the NCIII assessment examination.
This process will support the learning procedures by allowing the students to measure
learners (students) assess their own performance and is primarily used to help students to
develop specific learning skills that will need for professional competence. This process
may assist in making student more aware of and more responsible for their individual
learning (2017).
Student self-assessment has a lot of benefit to the students. It will help them to
develop their skills and to gain more knowledge. It will also evaluate the student's
performance and for their teachers to know if they are already capable of taking the
examination. Self-assessment will help the students to take control of their learning and
give them the chance to manage their learning and develop their skills independently, for
example is the ABM student’s self-assessment happened last February 21 and March 7
year two thousand and nineteen. Their instructor or the teacher in charge in that
assessment happened at ICT room in Silangan National High School is the one who
evaluated their capacity. Unlike their past review session every after class, this two
assessments are made to test if the student is already competent or ready to take the NCIII
examination outside the school or the real NCIII bookkeeping assessment. It is made to
ensure that all the time they spend in reviewing will be worth it and for the teacher to
know if their teaching skills will be effective and efficient to all their students.
One study of Fortun (2016) explains that, Technical Education and Skills
skilled workers the opportunity to improve their skills by going through assessment and
certifications. To assess individuals based on their skills, TESDA uses Philippine TVET
Competency Assessment and Certification System which they use to determine the
qualification of an individual and recognize how capable they are in a particular level.

Bookkeeping NCIII is a short course that TESDA offers. Those student who’s
enrolled in this course are requires to undergo a competency assessment. TESDA courses
have a lot of advantages that can help a person in their professional career. Once a person
is already qualified or competent TESDA will grant them a National Certificate, it may
help a person to apply for jobs and give them better opportunities in life. National
Certificate can be presented as a document during the job applications, it will serve as a
proof that a person is enrolled and already passed the assessment and you are already
The assessment process will determine if the person can perform to the standard
In education, the term assessment refers to the wide variety of methods or tools
that educators presumed to make test, evaluate and document the academic readiness,
used to enhance the student's learning and study skills. It will enhance their abilities to
maintain study lessons and also to encourage the students to review or to do warm up
activities. Since academic lessons have different functions, assessments are made to
measure a component of learning. It is also use to identify the student's strengths and
them.
However as a teacher or educator they must provide students the right guidance

Test of Tangible Output and Supporting Data about Research Problem
Figure 6: Assessment result of G12 ABM before and after using the NCIII
researchers. The table shows the difference between the scores of students during their
pre-test and post-test. It was clearly presented that the computed t-value is greater than
the critical t-value (t=22.19, p<0.05) which leads to reject the null hypothesis (H0: μ pre =
μ post, pre-test scores has no significant difference to post-test scores) and accept the
alternative hypothesis (H1: μ pre ≠ μ post, pre-test scores has significant difference to
post-test scores). That means that the scores of the participants has improved after using
the reviewer and it justifies that having a reviewer material will increase the passing rate

This chapter will sum up all the findings and all related information gathered over
Summary of Findings
1. It was clearly shown that most of the respondents claim that they have to
acquire reviewer materials so they would be able to have more chances of passing the
exam. The percentage vividly formulates an idea that most students rely on having
reviewer before taking any examination. Hence, this could either good or bad, but they
2. The data presented that 100% of the respondents acknowledge that reviewer
material is essential for someone who is preparing for his or her exam. No one answered
it is not beneficial
3. After the participants said that reviewer is a must, the specific material is
stated. According to the findings two common reviewer materials are used. These are
learner’s material and handouts with examples. In accordance to that, dominantly, they
prefer to use handouts with examples similar to what the first batch of NCIII
bookkeeping examinee. One student gives the idea of using Audio Visual Presentations
for reviewing. But both handouts with examples and audio visual presentations for
reviewer is high that reaches almost 90%. This proves that it is good if you are planning
to take exam do not forget to undergo review. Reviewing will increase the chance that
Conclusions
Most of the students nowadays are into being reliable to materials that will build
their skills, abilities and knowledge. For instance, taking exams is not as easy as what
they commonly think. Being contented on their stock knowledge did not guarantee their

Recommendations
The following recommendations are given emphasis after the result of the study.

1. The ABM students should have a reviewer material before taking NCIII Bookkeeping
examination.
2. The student should be aware of what is appropriate materials for them and an exact
