What Is the Grade 2 Term 1 Examination?

Under DepEd Order No. 009, s. 2026, the Philippine school calendar has officially shifted from a quarter-based system to a three-term school calendar. This means that instead of four quarterly exams, teachers now administer Term Examinations at the end of each of the three terms.

The Grade 2 Term 1 Examination covers all the competencies taught from the start of the school year through the end of Term 1 — generally covering Weeks 1 to 11 (June to August 2026).

Important Reminder: Under DepEd Order No. 015, s. 2026, the Term Examination carries a weight of 40% of the total Examinations component of a learner’s grade. This makes it the single most significant assessment within the term, so quality preparation is key.

Understanding the Table of Specifications (TOS)

If you’ve ever written a test without a Table of Specifications (TOS), you know how easy it is to accidentally over-test one topic while leaving another barely covered. The TOS is your blueprint — it ensures your exam is balanced, valid, and aligned with what was actually taught.

Here’s what a well-built Grade 2 TOS typically covers:

Learning competencies addressed during Term 1
Cognitive levels (Remembering, Understanding, Applying — using Bloom’s Taxonomy)
Number of items per competency and per cognitive level
Item placement in the test (item numbers corresponding to each competency)

“A good Table of Specifications transforms a collection of test questions into a purposeful, defensible assessment tool.”

For Grade 2 Key Stage 1 (KS1) learners, DepEd Order No. 015, s. 2026 provides specific guidelines on how assessments should be designed — keeping items short, clear, and age-appropriate. Our TOS files follow these guidelines precisely.
