Nat 3 T's: Test Taking Techniques for Grade Six Acacia at San Pablo Elementary School Sy 2017-2018

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

The National Achievement Test concluded that the plight of the school and students is somewhat murky; the goal of having 75 percent and above mastery levels in academic performance in the National Achievement Test does not seem to be cognizant of the teaching and learning environment we have. Of course, we do not discount the fact that DepEd is doing what it perceives to be the best programs and initiatives to answer the pressing need for quality education.
