in transitioning from Junior High School (JHS)
and guides them in the next step of their
educational journey.

 What is the Grading System?
• Standards and competency-based
• Based on the learner’s weighted score
on summative assessments
• Minimum grade to pass a learning area
is 60, which is transmuted to 75 in the
Report card
• The lowest mark that can appear in the
RC is 60 for quarterly Grades and Final
Grades

How is learner’s progress recorded and computed?

• For Grades 1 to 12
– No required number of written work and
performance task but these must be
spread out over the Quarter and used to
assess learner’s skills after each unit has
been taught

2929 National Training of Trainers

for Grade 11 Teachers
 Steps in computing the Final Grades
Step 1
• Grades from all student work are added
up. This results in the total score for each
component, namely Written Work,
Performance Tasks, and Quarterly
Assessment.

• Raw Scores from each component have to

be converted to a Percentage Score. This
is to ensure that values are parallel to
each other.

National Training of Trainers

30 for Grade 11 Teachers
 Step 2
• The sum for each component is converted
to the Percentage Score. TO compute the
Percentage Score (PS), divide the raw score
by the highest possible score then multiply
the quotient by 100%.

National Training of Trainers

31 for Grade 11 Teachers
 Step 3
• The Percentage Scores are converted to
Weighted Scores to show the importance of
each component in promoting learning in
different subjects.

• Percentage Score is multiplied by the weight

of the component. The product is known as
the Weighted Score (WS).

 Weights of the Components for SHS

Multiply the Percentage Score by the weights of the components

 Step 4
• The sum of the Weighted Scores in
each component is the Initial Grade.
This initial Grade will be transmuted
using the given transmutation table to
get the Quarterly Grade (QG).
