What Is the Grade 4 Summative Test 2 Term 1?
Under DepEd’s three-term school calendar, the school year is now divided into Term 1, Term 2, and Term 3 — replacing the old quarter-based system. This shift is part of the broader MATATAG Curriculum reform, which aims to reduce academic overload while deepening learner understanding of essential competencies.
Here’s how the three-term calendar looks at a glance:
Term | Coverage | Approximate Months |
Term 1 | Opening of classes to first Term Examination | August – October |
Term 2 | Second instructional period | November – January |
Term 3 | Final instructional period | February – May |
Within Term 1, teachers are expected to administer at least two Summative Tests before the Term Examination. That means:
- Summative Test 1 covers Weeks 1–3 (early lessons and introductory competencies)
- Summative Test 2 covers Weeks 4–6 (the next set of competencies taught in class)
The Grade 4 Summative Test 2 Term 1 is the second major written assessment of the school year. It checks whether learners have absorbed the lessons taught in the middle part of Term 1 — making it a critical checkpoint before the Term Examination arrives.
Why This Test Matters for Grade 4 Teachers
Grade 4 sits in Key Stage 2, which covers Grades 4 to 6. At this stage, learners are expected to move beyond simple recall and begin applying concepts, making connections between ideas, and demonstrating understanding across all subjects.
“A well-constructed summative test doesn’t just measure what students know — it reveals what still needs to be taught.” — Classroom assessment best practice
Here’s why the Summative Test 2 specifically deserves your attention:
- It bridges the gap between introductory lessons and the Term Examination
- It helps identify learning gaps early, so you can still adjust instruction before the exam
- It provides evidence of learning for your grading records
- It prepares learners for the format and difficulty of the Term Exam
- It satisfies DepEd’s assessment requirements under DepEd Order No. 015, s. 2026
How Many Items Should a Grade 4 Summative Test Have?
This is one of the most common questions teachers ask — and the answer is clearly defined by DepEd policy.
Under DepEd Order No. 015, s. 2026, the number of items in each Summative Test must not exceed half of the total items in the Term Examination for the same Key Stage.
- The Term Examination for Key Stage 2 (Grades 4–6) has 40 items
- Therefore, each Summative Test for Grade 4 must have a maximum of 20 items
This means your Grade 4 Summative Test 2 Term 1 should contain 20 multiple-choice items per subject — no more, no less.
Why 20 items?
The 20-item cap keeps the test manageable for learners while still giving teachers enough data to evaluate understanding and progress. It also ensures that the assessment focuses on the most essential competencies, rather than testing everything indiscriminately.

What Makes a High-Quality Grade 4 Summative Test 2?
Not all summative tests are created equal. A truly effective test — one that gives you reliable, usable data — needs to be carefully constructed. Here’s what to look for:
- Alignment with a Table of Specifications (TOS)
Every item in the test should be traceable to a specific competency that was actually taught during Weeks 4–6. A TOS (Table of Specifications) ensures your test is balanced — covering recall, understanding, and application levels.
- Clear, Age-Appropriate Language
Grade 4 learners can read independently, but test directions and items should still use clear, simple language. Avoid ambiguous wording that could confuse even a student who knows the answer.
- One Best Answer per Item
Each multiple-choice item should have one clearly correct answer and three plausible distractors. The distractors should reflect common misconceptions — not random, obviously wrong choices.
- Accurate and Complete Answer Key
The answer key should list the correct answer for each item and, where helpful, include a brief rationale. This makes peer checking faster and helps teachers explain why one answer is better than the others.
- BOW (Book of Work) Alignment
The Summative Test must reflect what is recorded in the teacher’s Book of Work (BOW). If a competency hasn’t been taught yet, it shouldn’t appear in the test.
