The 4th Quarter Periodical Tests for Grade 8 (Matatag Curriculum) are designed to check how well students understand the key concepts they learned this school year. This test will include questions from major learning areas such as English, Math, Science, and Araling Panlipunan. The questions will focus on real‑life applications, deep understanding, and practical problem-solving, based on the Matatag Curriculum standards.
Most schools will implement the test over two days, on March 19–20, 2026. Teachers will use printed test papers and answer sheets. Students will answer a mix of multiple-choice, short-answer, and constructed response items. Proctors will strictly follow test procedures to ensure fairness and academic integrity.
Passing the periodical test matters. It counts for 20% of the final grade for the quarter, which can significantly affect students’ overall performance. A good score reflects consistent learning and readiness for the next grade level. Students are encouraged to review lessons, practice past assessments, and manage their time well during the test days.
