What Is the Kindergarten Summative Test 2 for Term 1?
Under the MATATAG Curriculum and the classroom assessment guidelines outlined in DepEd Order No. 015, s. 2026, summative tests are administered at specific checkpoints within each term to measure how well learners have achieved the targeted competencies.
For Term 1 (June 15 – September 15, 2026), there are two summative tests within the instructional block:
Summative Test | Coverage | Approximate Administration Date |
Summative Test 1 | Weeks 1–3 | Around July 6, 2026 |
Summative Test 2 | Weeks 4–6 | Around July 28, 2026 |
The Kindergarten Summative Test 2 for Term 1 covers the competencies your learners worked on during the second instructional block — roughly Weeks 4 to 6 of the school year. Think of it as a mid-term check: How much have our littlest learners actually absorbed so far?
Why Kindergarten Assessment Is Different (and Why That Matters)
Let’s be honest — assessing Kindergarteners is not the same as testing Grade 3 or Grade 6 learners. Kinder pupils are still:
- Learning how to hold a pencil properly
- Getting used to structured classroom time
- Building attention span and listening habits
- Developing early print awareness and number sense
This is why the Kinder summative test format is intentionally play-based, observation-driven, and low-pressure. DepEd Order No. 015, s. 2026 recognizes this and does not prescribe a fixed number of items for Kindergarten. Instead, teachers are given professional discretion to determine the most appropriate form of assessment evidence.
“Assessment at the Kindergarten level should nurture curiosity and confidence — not create anxiety. The goal is to gather evidence of learning, not to rank children.”
With that in mind, the materials provided here are designed to be gentle, visual, and engaging for young learners — not intimidating.
What Subjects Are Covered in the Kindergarten Summative Test 2?
For Kindergarten, summative tests are often administered through a portfolio of performance tasks, teacher observations, and structured oral activities rather than purely paper-and-pencil tests. You can use these files as a guide, or adapt them into oral questioning rounds.

How to Use the Kindergarten Summative Test 2 Effectively
Getting the files is just the first step. Here’s how experienced Kinder teachers make the most of summative test results:
- Review Before You Print
Always go through the test items first. Make sure the competencies covered in the test actually match what you taught in your classroom during Weeks 4 to 6. No two classrooms move at exactly the same pace — and that’s okay.
- Adapt the Format for Your Learners
For Kindergarten, consider these administration options:
- Read the items aloud for non-readers or early readers
- Use picture-based answer choices instead of written options
- Administer in small groups to allow individual guidance
- Combine with teacher observation and portfolio evidence
- Record Results Promptly
Once the test is administered and checked, record the results in your class record right away. Under the three-term system, timelines are tighter — results from Summative Test 2 feed directly into your Term 1 grade computation.
- Use Data for Differentiation
Look at your class results item by item. Which competencies did most learners miss? That’s your signal for remediation. Which competencies did almost everyone get? That’s your signal to move forward with confidence.
