4. • There is no single way of reporting
the level of achievement of the
students
• Different schools utilize different
symbols to describe and report the
level of performance of their students
• These can be numbers, percentages,
letter grade equivalents and
descriptions
5. The succeeding table presents an
example of reporting grades for
tertiary level.
Percentages Numbers Letters Descriptions
98 – 100 1.00 A+ Outstanding/Excellent
95 – 97 1.25 A Outstanding/Excellent
92 – 94 1.50 A- Very good
89 – 91 1.75 B+ Very good
86 – 88 2.00 B Good
83 – 85 2.25 B- Good

7. • In case of basic education, the grading system
being used is based on DepEd order number 33,
series 2004, replacing the DECS order NO.70,
series 1998. the new grading system of DepEd is
about giving grades that are mainly based on
the students’ performance. The features of the
new grading system are the following:
1. The lowest grade or the minimum
performance standard for the students in
public elementary and secondary schools is set
at 75%. The lowest falling grade that may
appear in the report card is set at 65%.
8. 2. The same standard shall apply to students in
the bridge program.
3. In assessing the learning outcomes, the
construction of test items consist of basic
terms(factual information ) 60%, moderately
difficult or more advanced questions 30%, and
higher order thinking skills (items for
distinguishing honor students 10%. Questions in
each category should have different weights.
Test and non – test items should cover only
materials actually taken up in the class.
9. 4. Grading system by subject shall follow the
guidelines in enclosure 1 and enclosure 2 of
DepEd order 33, series 2004.
5. Transmutation tables shall not be used in the
computation grades. Test scores shall be
recorded as raw scores, totaled at the end of
each grading period, and then computed as
percentage [(student’s score ÷ highest
possible) x 100%]. This is also known as the
Table of Equivalence
10. 6. The final grade shall be determined by
averaging the marks for the four quarters. In
the case of secondary level, averaging across
quarters shall be by subject only.
7. Promotion at the secondary level shall be by
subject.
