The Grade 3 4th Quarter Periodical Test checks what learners have learned in the final part of the school year under the Matatag Curriculum. This test covers key skills and knowledge in English, Mathematics, Science, Filipino, GMRC, and Makabansa. It is based on classroom lessons and weekly activities that students have done from January to March, and items are aligned with the approved Table of Specifications (TOS) to ensure fair coverage of competencies.
Many schools usually give periodical tests in written form with multiple‑choice and short‑answer items. Teachers follow the TOS when making the exam so that learners are assessed on important topics like reading comprehension, number sense and problem‑solving, simple science concepts, and values application. An answer key is included to help teachers score quickly and give feedback that supports learning before the grading period ends.
Passing this periodical test is important because it counts for 20 % of the final grade for the 4th quarter. A good score shows that learners have mastered essential skills and can apply them in real tasks. Students and parents should see this test as a chance to reflect on strengths and areas for growth while preparing with confidence for the next grade level.
