As we approach the end of the school year, Grade 4 learners will take their 4th Periodical Tests based on the Matatag Curriculum on March 19–20, 2026. These tests will cover key learning areas taught during the final quarter. Expect questions on reading and writing in English and Filipino, as well as problem-solving in Math. You will also encounter science in daily life, social studies, values, MAPEH, and hands-on skills in EPP. All items are aligned with the competencies outlined for the fourth quarter of Grade 4.
Most schools implement this test over two days, usually in the middle of March. Teachers use a Table of Specifications (TOS) to ensure that every subject and topic gets fair representation in the assessment. Many periodical tests include multiple-choice, short-answer, and performance-based tasks to measure both knowledge and skills. The answer key is provided to make checking straightforward for teachers, tutors, and parents preparing learners for this important test.
Passing the 4th Quarter Periodical Test matters. In many schools, this test counts for 20 % of the grading computation for the quarter. A strong performance can significantly boost a learner’s final grade for the year. Doing well reflects mastery of essential competencies in the Matatag Curriculum, supporting academic growth and readiness for the next grade level.
