NCAE Overview: 
Frequently Asked Questions 
3
1. What is the NCAE? 
 NCAE = National Career Assessment Examination 
 It is an aptitude test geared toward providing information 
through test results for self-assessment, career awareness and 
career guidance of junior high school students of the K to 12 Basic 
Education Program (BEP). 
 Test-taking is mandatory. 
 Test results are recommendatory. 
4
2. What other features characterize the NCAE? 
 A locally developed test which was standardized and 
validated using Filipino respondents 
 A paper-and-pencil test which utilizes scannable answer 
sheets that are processed electronically 
 A multiple-choice type of test 
 Culture fair and sensitive 
 Provides an end-user-friendly report format (COR) 
5
3. Why was NCAE developed? 
The NCAE was developed to: 
 To foster the highest quality of education in the Philippines 
by regulating and monitoring the flow of students to post 
secondary institutions of learning and their potential 
contribution to national development 
 To minimize indiscriminate wastage of manpower and 
resources by working for a match between manpower skill 
outputs and job market demands 
6
4. What are the specific objectives of the NCAE? 
 To assess the skills of Grade 9 students planning to proceed 
to senior HS, toward providing relevant information on their 
skills, abilities and readiness for academic and non-academic 
courses; 
 To provide information that will help high school students 
make wise career decision; and 
7
5. How is NCAE different from NCEE? 
Similarities Differences 
 Both are general 
scholastic aptitude 
tests (GSAT) 
 NCAE includes scientific ability as 
an area in GSAT 
 Still recommendatory – without cut-off 
score 
 Includes technical-vocational 
aptitude, logical reasoning ability, 
occupational interest inventory, 
aptitude on academic tracks 
8
6. Who are the target examinees of the NCAE? 
 All enrolled Grade 9 students in public and private 
high schools operating with permit 
 Fourth Year HS Students and out-of-school youths 
who are applying for TESDA scholarship

Occupational Interest Inventory of Students 
in Secondary Schools (OIISSS) 
 This is an inventory / checklist of occupational interests which provides 
an assessment on inclinations / preferences for comprehensive career 
guidance. 
 The students are provided with a profile chart of their occupational 
inclinations and preferences thru the identified cluster occupations. 
 These major occupations are finely divided into two specific groups – 
the baccalaureate courses and vocational courses. 
12
8. What information is derived from the NCAE COR? 
 COR = Certificate of Rating 
 The COR contains the report on how the examinees performed in 
the test which is presented in a graph alongside the Standard 
Scores and Percentile Ranks. 
 The descriptive rating of the Percentile Rank is also included. 
 The overall GSA and TVA scores are reported along with scores in 
the subtests. 
 The GSA score is the average of the standard scores in these 
areas: SA, RC, VA, MA and LRA. 
13
 Reporting of results for HUMSS, STEM and ABM will be in 
Standard Score and Percentile Rank. 
 Likewise, the TVA score is the composite of the CA and VMS 
scores. 
 OIISSS: The level of preference for each area of occupational 
interest is displayed based on percentage score which is as 
follows: high (76-100), moderate (51-75), low (26-50) and very low 
(0-25) 
 Examinees can gauge their individual strengths and weaknesses 
in every domain/area measured based on the test results. 
14
Potentials/Inclinations of Students Based on NCAE Results 
Clerical Ability (CA) . This is a test of ability and skill to encode 
data/informatio n and file office records, as well as ability to note details. High CA 
is the requisite skill for secretariat jobs for these jobes require good manual 
dexterity; thus individuals with high CA are potential computer operators. 
encoders, and stenographers. 
Visual M anipulat ive Skills (VM S) . This subtest measures abilities that 
require perceptual and visual judgment in determining figures, symbols, and 
nature of space as well as skills in mentally manipulating objects and concrete 
materials. Manipulative skills are required in occupations such as machine 
technicians, jewelers, watchmakers, engravers, handicraft makers, and the like. 
No nverbal Ability (NVA) . This tests a person's reasoning ability to identify 
patterns presented in diagrammatic form. The series of figures presented in each 
item requires the perception of an operating principle underlying the changes in 
the figures. In each instance, the examinee must discover the principle's 
governing change/s of the figures and give evidence of his understanding by 
indicating the diagram that should lo gically follow. It tests abilities required in jobs 
such as engineering, science, architecture and any other jobs which involve 
working with diagrammatic and similar visual informatio n. 
Lo gical Reaso ning Ability (LRA) . This measures an individual's ability to 
understand and analyze complexwritten material and derive correct conclusions 
from it. Those with high LRA are likely to succeed in courses which require high 
analytical/critical thinking skills like law, economics, theology, social science and 
medical allied professions. 
Scient if ic Ability (SA) . This is an assessment of the individual's 
scientific abilities and skills to adopt scientific methods, procedures and 
processes constructing knowledge and solving experimental or real-life 
problems. One who has high SA has greater probability to excel in academic 
programs that work mostly on scientific methodologies (e.g.medical allied 
professions). Those with average SA can be successful in the field of 
chemistry, physics, zoology, botany, biology, and other courses related to 
Reading Comprehensio n (RC) . This measures the ability to 
understand what has been stated directly; to anlayze, interpret, and criticize 
what has been read; to recognize reasonable application of principles or 
opinions expressed by the author. A student with hig RC has the potential 
to make sound inferences, syntheses, generalizations, or conclusions on 
what he/she read. Students who possess the skills will most likely succeed 
in courses that involve public speaking and even writing such as mass 
communicatio n, teaching, theology, and law. 
Verbal Ability (VA) . This subtest measures the assertive ability of a 
person in view of grammatical rules and lo gical arrangement of ideas. 
Individuals with hig VA have high sense of analogy; hence, they have 
potential in mass communicatio n, law, teaching, and preaching vocatio n. 
Those with average VA can be developed in advertising careers. 
M athemat ical Ability (M A) . This subtest is used to assess 
quantitative abilities and computational skills, particularly, on working with 
numbers, perceiving relationship between two quantities and solving word 
problems. One with high MA has high sense of mathematical calculus, a 
requisite skill in engineering courses, aeronautics and marine courses.

9. How are the NCAE scores reported and interpreted? 
 The scores are reported in Standard Scores and Percentile Ranks. 
 Standard Score - where the mean is 500 and the standard deviation 
is 100. The highest scores are in the 700’s; the lowest scores are in the 
300’s. 
 Percentile Rank - shows the examinees’ position among all the 
examinees. If an examinee scores at percentile rank 99+, it means that 
he scored above the other 99 percent of the examinees.

17
12. Is there a testing fee required in taking the NCAE? 
 None. 
 The cost in the preparation of test materials and 
administration of the test does not entail any amount 
from the schools, parents and students. 
 All expenses are shouldered by the Department. 
18
13. How long does it take for an examinee to receive 
his/ her individual COR (test results)? 
 3-4 months 
19
14. How will the NCAE guide high school students and their parents 
in determining the career track they should take? 
 The NCAE intends to provide information that will help high school students 
make wise career decisions based on the results of the domains of the test. 
 It also provides an interest inventory that will show the inclinations of the 
students in a particular occupational field. 
 The test results will validate the previously thought career choice by showing 
the student’s strengths and weaknesses in the aforementioned domains. 
20
15. How has the general public responded to the results of the exam? Are parents 
willing to follow the test results for their children’s career plans? 
 In 2007, DepED-NETRC conducted a survey on the utilization of the NCAE 
results for SY 2006-2007. 
 Nineteen (19) higher education institutions and TESDA accredited 
schools in twelve (12) schools divisions participated in the survey. 
 The NCAE annual administration was viewed positively by 81.31% of the 
students. 
 80% of their parents affirmed in the necessity to administer the NCAE 
yearly. 
21
 85% of the school officials favored the annual administration of 
the NCAE. 
 Across the four groups of respondents (students, parents, school 
officials and CHED/TESDA institutions), the NCAE elicited high 
acceptance level. 
 All groups manifested agreement on the yearly administration of 
the NCAE. 
22
16.Based on the results of the test, what are the policy directions of 
DepED on the basic education curriculum? 
Policy Directions: 
 Based on the results of the NCAE over the years, majority of 
our high school graduates have inclinations toward technical-vocational 
(tech-voc) occupations. 
 The strengthening of 261 technical-vocational high 
schools is being carried out by the Department wherein 
improvements are being made in their curriculum, training, 
physical and policy support. 
23
 The results validate DepED’s decision to put great stress on tech-voc program, 
that is, to equip high school students with technical-vocational skills that can 
empower them to find meaningful employment, whether or not they pursue 
college education. 
 DepED’s tech-voc curriculum is being aligned with the training regulations of 
TESDA. This will allow tech-voc high school graduates to acquire TESDA 
certificates. 
 It is also the Department’s goal to improve the abilities of students in the 
general scholastic domain. 
24
 Moreover, the Department is currently working on 
intensifying the career guidance programs in public 
national high schools and in orienting the guidance 
staff in the schools and division offices on how to 
maximize the utilization of the NCAE results in order 
to properly guide students in making wise career 
decisions. 
25
17. How can the results of the exam help solve the problem of job 
mismatch? 
 With the results of the NCAE, the students will be 
directed to occupational fields where they would be 
potentially productive and successful. 
26
18. Can the results of the NCAE be used in ranking schools? 
 No. 
 The results of the NCAE should NOT be used for other 
purposes other than career guidance.

  • 1. Dr. NELIA V. BENITO, CESO IV Director III
  • 2.
  • 3. NCAE Overview: Frequently Asked Questions 3
  • 4. 1. What is the NCAE?  NCAE = National Career Assessment Examination  It is an aptitude test geared toward providing information through test results for self-assessment, career awareness and career guidance of junior high school students of the K to 12 Basic Education Program (BEP).  Test-taking is mandatory.  Test results are recommendatory. 4
  • 5. 2. What other features characterize the NCAE?  A locally developed test which was standardized and validated using Filipino respondents  A paper-and-pencil test which utilizes scannable answer sheets that are processed electronically  A multiple-choice type of test  Culture fair and sensitive  Provides an end-user-friendly report format (COR) 5
  • 6. 3. Why was NCAE developed? The NCAE was developed to:  To foster the highest quality of education in the Philippines by regulating and monitoring the flow of students to post secondary institutions of learning and their potential contribution to national development  To minimize indiscriminate wastage of manpower and resources by working for a match between manpower skill outputs and job market demands 6
  • 7. 4. What are the specific objectives of the NCAE?  To assess the skills of Grade 9 students planning to proceed to senior HS, toward providing relevant information on their skills, abilities and readiness for academic and non-academic courses;  To provide information that will help high school students make wise career decision; and 7
  • 8. 5. How is NCAE different from NCEE? Similarities Differences  Both are general scholastic aptitude tests (GSAT)  NCAE includes scientific ability as an area in GSAT  Still recommendatory – without cut-off score  Includes technical-vocational aptitude, logical reasoning ability, occupational interest inventory, aptitude on academic tracks 8
  • 9. 6. Who are the target examinees of the NCAE?  All enrolled Grade 9 students in public and private high schools operating with permit  Fourth Year HS Students and out-of-school youths who are applying for TESDA scholarship 9
  • 10. 7. What are the domains measured in the NCAE? A. General Scholastic Aptitude (GSA) – 155 items  Scientific Ability (SA) ------------------------------------------------40 items  Reading Comprehension (RC) ------------------------------------- 30 items  Verbal Ability (VA) ----------------------------------------------------30 items  Mathematical Ability (MA) ----------------------------------------- 40 items  Logical Reasoning Ability (LRA) __________________________ 15 items B. Occupational Interest (OIISSS)-------------------------------------------- 215 items C. Aptitude for Academic Tracks _150 items*  Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS) _______________________50 items  Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM)_______________50 items  Accountancy, Business and Management (ABM) __________________50 items D. Technical-Vocational Aptitude (TVA) ____________________________ 60 items *Revised 2014 10
  • 11. Areas of Occupational Interests: A. Sciences B. Engineering C. Commerce D. Professional Services E. Personal Services F. Cyberservices G. Aesthetics H. Environment I. Military Training J. Spiritual Vocation K. Agriculture and Fishery 11
  • 12. Occupational Interest Inventory of Students in Secondary Schools (OIISSS)  This is an inventory / checklist of occupational interests which provides an assessment on inclinations / preferences for comprehensive career guidance.  The students are provided with a profile chart of their occupational inclinations and preferences thru the identified cluster occupations.  These major occupations are finely divided into two specific groups – the baccalaureate courses and vocational courses. 12
  • 13. 8. What information is derived from the NCAE COR?  COR = Certificate of Rating  The COR contains the report on how the examinees performed in the test which is presented in a graph alongside the Standard Scores and Percentile Ranks.  The descriptive rating of the Percentile Rank is also included.  The overall GSA and TVA scores are reported along with scores in the subtests.  The GSA score is the average of the standard scores in these areas: SA, RC, VA, MA and LRA. 13
  • 14.  Reporting of results for HUMSS, STEM and ABM will be in Standard Score and Percentile Rank.  Likewise, the TVA score is the composite of the CA and VMS scores.  OIISSS: The level of preference for each area of occupational interest is displayed based on percentage score which is as follows: high (76-100), moderate (51-75), low (26-50) and very low (0-25)  Examinees can gauge their individual strengths and weaknesses in every domain/area measured based on the test results. 14
  • 15. Potentials/Inclinations of Students Based on NCAE Results Clerical Ability (CA) . This is a test of ability and skill to encode data/informatio n and file office records, as well as ability to note details. High CA is the requisite skill for secretariat jobs for these jobes require good manual dexterity; thus individuals with high CA are potential computer operators. encoders, and stenographers. Visual M anipulat ive Skills (VM S) . This subtest measures abilities that require perceptual and visual judgment in determining figures, symbols, and nature of space as well as skills in mentally manipulating objects and concrete materials. Manipulative skills are required in occupations such as machine technicians, jewelers, watchmakers, engravers, handicraft makers, and the like. No nverbal Ability (NVA) . This tests a person's reasoning ability to identify patterns presented in diagrammatic form. The series of figures presented in each item requires the perception of an operating principle underlying the changes in the figures. In each instance, the examinee must discover the principle's governing change/s of the figures and give evidence of his understanding by indicating the diagram that should lo gically follow. It tests abilities required in jobs such as engineering, science, architecture and any other jobs which involve working with diagrammatic and similar visual informatio n. Lo gical Reaso ning Ability (LRA) . This measures an individual's ability to understand and analyze complexwritten material and derive correct conclusions from it. Those with high LRA are likely to succeed in courses which require high analytical/critical thinking skills like law, economics, theology, social science and medical allied professions. Scient if ic Ability (SA) . This is an assessment of the individual's scientific abilities and skills to adopt scientific methods, procedures and processes constructing knowledge and solving experimental or real-life problems. One who has high SA has greater probability to excel in academic programs that work mostly on scientific methodologies (e.g.medical allied professions). Those with average SA can be successful in the field of chemistry, physics, zoology, botany, biology, and other courses related to Reading Comprehensio n (RC) . This measures the ability to understand what has been stated directly; to anlayze, interpret, and criticize what has been read; to recognize reasonable application of principles or opinions expressed by the author. A student with hig RC has the potential to make sound inferences, syntheses, generalizations, or conclusions on what he/she read. Students who possess the skills will most likely succeed in courses that involve public speaking and even writing such as mass communicatio n, teaching, theology, and law. Verbal Ability (VA) . This subtest measures the assertive ability of a person in view of grammatical rules and lo gical arrangement of ideas. Individuals with hig VA have high sense of analogy; hence, they have potential in mass communicatio n, law, teaching, and preaching vocatio n. Those with average VA can be developed in advertising careers. M athemat ical Ability (M A) . This subtest is used to assess quantitative abilities and computational skills, particularly, on working with numbers, perceiving relationship between two quantities and solving word problems. One with high MA has high sense of mathematical calculus, a requisite skill in engineering courses, aeronautics and marine courses. AN INVENTORY OF OCCUPATIONAL INTERESTS A. SCIENCES B.

  • 16. 9. How are the NCAE scores reported and interpreted?  The scores are reported in Standard Scores and Percentile Ranks.  Standard Score - where the mean is 500 and the standard deviation is 100. The highest scores are in the 700’s; the lowest scores are in the 300’s.  Percentile Rank - shows the examinees’ position among all the examinees. If an examinee scores at percentile rank 99+, it means that he scored above the other 99 percent of the examinees. 16
  • 17. Sample Plot of a Percentile Rank (PR) in a Normal Curve  PR = 80 X 17
  • 18. 12. Is there a testing fee required in taking the NCAE?  None.  The cost in the preparation of test materials and administration of the test does not entail any amount from the schools, parents and students.  All expenses are shouldered by the Department. 18
  • 19. 13. How long does it take for an examinee to receive his/ her individual COR (test results)?  3-4 months 19
  • 20. 14. How will the NCAE guide high school students and their parents in determining the career track they should take?  The NCAE intends to provide information that will help high school students make wise career decisions based on the results of the domains of the test.  It also provides an interest inventory that will show the inclinations of the students in a particular occupational field.  The test results will validate the previously thought career choice by showing the student’s strengths and weaknesses in the aforementioned domains. 20
  • 21. 15. How has the general public responded to the results of the exam? Are parents willing to follow the test results for their children’s career plans?  In 2007, DepED-NETRC conducted a survey on the utilization of the NCAE results for SY 2006-2007.  Nineteen (19) higher education institutions and TESDA accredited schools in twelve (12) schools divisions participated in the survey.  The NCAE annual administration was viewed positively by 81.31% of the students.  80% of their parents affirmed in the necessity to administer the NCAE yearly. 21
  • 22.  85% of the school officials favored the annual administration of the NCAE.  Across the four groups of respondents (students, parents, school officials and CHED/TESDA institutions), the NCAE elicited high acceptance level.  All groups manifested agreement on the yearly administration of the NCAE. 22
  • 23. 16.Based on the results of the test, what are the policy directions of DepED on the basic education curriculum? Policy Directions:  Based on the results of the NCAE over the years, majority of our high school graduates have inclinations toward technical-vocational (tech-voc) occupations.  The strengthening of 261 technical-vocational high schools is being carried out by the Department wherein improvements are being made in their curriculum, training, physical and policy support. 23
  • 24.  The results validate DepED’s decision to put great stress on tech-voc program, that is, to equip high school students with technical-vocational skills that can empower them to find meaningful employment, whether or not they pursue college education.  DepED’s tech-voc curriculum is being aligned with the training regulations of TESDA. This will allow tech-voc high school graduates to acquire TESDA certificates.  It is also the Department’s goal to improve the abilities of students in the general scholastic domain. 24
  • 25.  Moreover, the Department is currently working on intensifying the career guidance programs in public national high schools and in orienting the guidance staff in the schools and division offices on how to maximize the utilization of the NCAE results in order to properly guide students in making wise career decisions. 25
  • 26. 17. How can the results of the exam help solve the problem of job mismatch?  With the results of the NCAE, the students will be directed to occupational fields where they would be potentially productive and successful. 26
  • 27. 18. Can the results of the NCAE be used in ranking schools?  No.  The results of the NCAE should NOT be used for other purposes other than career guidance. 27
