GUIDELINES ON THE ADMINISTRATION OF NATG12, NATG6,
AND ELLNA
2. The conduct of the tests is pursuant to DO 022, s. 2023
titled Implementing Guidelines on the School Calendar and
Activities for the School Year 2023-2024 and DO 003, s.
2024 titled Amendment to DepEd Order No. 22, s. 2023

Assessment in School Year 2021-2022 for Learning
Recovery as well as in Preparation for the 2024 Baseline
System Assessment, the current Grades 3, 6, and 12
learners of the present SY will be taking the assessments.
GUIDELINES ON THE ADMINISTRATION OF NATG12, NATG6,
AND ELLNA
4. The ELLNA will be administered to all currently
enrolled Grade 3 learners in public schools, while the
NATG6 will be administered to all public and private
schools, and learners will be sampled in each school. On
the other hand, the NATG12 will be administered to all
currently enrolled Grade 12 learners in public and
private schools.

5. The three assessment programs will be administered on

a paper-based modality to all regional offices (ROs),

GUIDELINES ON THE ADMINISTRATION OF NATG12, NATG6,
AND ELLNA
6. In reference to DO 29, s. 2022 titled Adoption of the
Basic Education Monitoring and Evaluation
Framework, DepEd has to identify and articulate
performance indicators and outcomes for measuring
performance in the development of plans and policies.
These indicators and outcomes will be used for the
assessment of the effectiveness and efficiency of the
delivery of education services. The results of system
assessments will serve as evidence for the
improvement of the curriculum implementation.
GUIDELINES ON THE ADMINISTRATION OF NATG12, NATG6,
AND ELLNA
7. The ELLNA is to be administered at the end of Grade 3
as a key stage assessment to determine if students are
meeting the learning standards in early language, literacy,
and numeracy. The test is in a multiple-choice item
format. Moreover, English, Filipino, and Mother Tongue
shall be the languages for this assessment.
GUIDELINES ON THE ADMINISTRATION OF NATG12, NATG6,
AND ELLNA
8. The NATG6 and NATG12 are exit assessments under the
national assessment framework of the K to 12 Basic Education
Program. These tests are designed to determine if Grade 6 and
Grade 12 learners are meeting the learning standards in the
Elementary and Senior High School (SHS) curriculum. The exit
assessments shall cover 21st Century Skills (Problem-Solving,
Information Literacy, and Critical Thinking) using learning
areas in English, Mathematics, Science, Filipino, and Araling
Panlipunan as content in NATG6, and the core SHS learning areas
of Science, Philosophy, Language and Communication, Media and
Information Literacy, Mathematics, Humanities, Wika at
Komunikasyon, and Social Science in NATG12. The test design is
progressive in nature wherein test items measure varying levels of
skills in a multiple-choice format using English and Filipino
languages.
GUIDELINES ON THE ADMINISTRATION OF NATG12, NATG6,
AND ELLNA
9. BEA will manage the national implementation of the ELLNA,
NATG6, and NATG12 with the assistance of the ROs and
SDOs. BEA will conduct a virtual orientation for Regional
Testing Coordinators, Division Testing Coordinators, and SDO
Private School Supervisors on the administration of the tests.
