In most public schools nationwide, the Department of Education (DepEd) has scheduled the testing dates on October 23 and 24, 2025, while private schools may hold theirs on different dates based on their academic calendars. This assessment serves as a major checkpoint of learners’ progress under the MATATAG Curriculum, ensuring that competencies taught during the second quarter are thoroughly measured. Through the Table of Specifications (TOS) and Answer Keys, teachers can align test items with learning standards, while students can use them as review guides to strengthen mastery. These resources help maintain consistency, fairness, and accuracy in evaluating learning outcomes.

But, it also includes an introduction to new learning competencies which begins with the basic concepts definitions. In some subjects, real-life-driven and situational learning is the usual way of teaching. For example, in English, the learning competencies focus on producing real output on media and advertising. Furthermore, digital art is the main learning product of Art (one of the components of MAPEH) in 2nd Quarter.
