What is a Term Examination?
In the DepEd assessment framework under DepEd Order No. 015, s. 2026, the Term Examination (TE) is one of the assessment types teachers can prepare. This tool generates a term examination for you.
Each generated term examination comes with a Table of Specifications (TOS) that distributes items across competencies and cognitive levels, plus a complete answer key for checking.
Making a Term Examination for Term 1
To prepare a term examination for Term 1, choose your grade level and subject, set the term to Term 1, select Term Examination as the assessment type, and enter the number of items. The generator builds the Table of Specifications and answer key for you.
The same steps work for any term — you simply change the term selector. The generator handles the item distribution, the TOS, and the answer key so you can focus on reviewing and refining the questions for your learners.
