The SHS Literacy Assessment is designed to evaluate SHS learners’ reading comprehension skills in both English and Filipino. It will determine each learner’s reading profile – whether independent, instructional, or frustration level – and assess their performance across the domains of literal comprehension, inferential comprehension, and knowledge construction. Meanwhile, the SHS Numeracy Assessment is designed to evaluate SHS learners’ numeracy skills and establish their proficiency levels, ranging from not proficient to highly proficient. It will also measure their performance across key mathematical domains: Number and Algebra, Measurement and Geometry, and Data ang Probability.
