What Is the Grade 5 Summative Test 2 Term 1?
The Grade 5 Summative Test 2 (ST2) for Term 1 is a classroom assessment administered after the second set of lessons in the first term of the school year. Under the DepEd three-term calendar, Term 1 typically runs from July to October, and Summative Test 2 covers the competencies taught in Weeks 4 to 6.
“Summative assessment is used to evaluate student learning at the end of an instructional period — giving teachers a clear picture of what learners have mastered and what still needs attention.”
Unlike a quarterly exam, the summative test is shorter, more focused, and directly tied to a specific set of learning competencies. This makes it an extremely practical tool for identifying gaps and planning for remediation or enrichment.
Why This Matters: The DepEd Three-Term School Calendar
The Department of Education (DepEd) transitioned Philippine public schools to a three-term calendar. This structure divides the 201-day school year into three terms to protect instructional time, lessen fragmentation, and support learner well-being. Each term comprises an opening block, an instructional block, and an end-of-term block.
- Term 1: 69 days (June 8, 2026 – September 15, 2026)
- Term 2: 65 days (September 16, 2026 – December 18, 2026)
- Term 3: 67 days (January 4, 2027 – April 8, 2027)
How Many Items Are in the Grade 5 Summative Test 2?
This is one of the most common questions Filipino teachers ask, and the answer is guided by DepEd Order No. 015, s. 2026.
Here are the key points:
- Grade 5 belongs to Key Stage 2 (Grades 4–6)
- The Term Examination for Key Stage 2 has 40 items
- Each Summative Test must not exceed half of the Term Exam item count
- Therefore, each Summative Test is capped at 20 items
- The format is all multiple-choice
This 20-item structure strikes a balance — it’s manageable for learners while still providing enough data for teachers to assess mastery of the major competencies.

Tips for Administering Summative Test 2 Effectively
Getting the most out of your Grade 5 ST2 Term 1 isn’t just about handing out papers. Here are some practical tips from experienced Filipino teachers:
- Review the test before printing. Even ready-made tests should be checked for alignment with your actual classroom lessons and the specific competencies you covered in Weeks 4–6.
- Set clear classroom rules before the test. Remind learners that this is an independent assessment. In today’s digital age, make it explicit that gadgets and AI tools are not allowed during the test.
- Check the answer key yourself. Always validate every item. A key may contain typographical errors or items that are misaligned with the correct learning standard.
- Use results for data-driven decisions. After scoring, identify which items most learners got wrong. This tells you which competencies need reteaching, enrichment, or remediation before the Term Examination.
- Record scores properly. Make sure to record ST2 results in your Learner Progress Report (LPR) or class record, following the prescribed DepEd format for SY 2026–2027.
