STEPS IN COMPUTING FOR THE FINAL GRADES

Step 1. Get the Raw Score (total score)

for each component (Written Work,
Performance Tasks and Quarterly
Assessment).

Step 2. Get the Percentage Score.

Divide the total Raw Score by the
Highest Possible Score (HPS) then
multiply the Quotient by 100%. 2022 PARENTS’

STEPS IN COMPUTING FOR THE FINAL GRADES

Step 3. Convert the Percentage Score to Weighted

Score by multiplying the Percentage Score by the
Weight of the Component (WS= PS x WC) (pls. see
Table 4, page 10 of DO 8, s. 2015)

Step 4. Add the Weighted Scores of each

Component. The result is the Initial Grade.

Step 5. Get the equivalent Final Grade using the

given transmutation table (see Appendix B of DO 8,
s. 2015)

Step 6. Write the Final Grade in the Report Card 2022 PARENTS’

HOW ARE GRADES COMPUTED AT THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR?

For Grades 1 to 10
-The average of the Quarterly Grades (QG)
produces the Final Grades (FG) per learning area.
-The General Average is computed by dividing the
sum of all Final Grades by the total number of
learning areas.
For Grades 11 and 12
- The two quarters determine the Final Grade in a
Semester

competencies must be immediately given
remedial classes. They should pass the
summative assessments during remediation to
avoid a failing grade in a learning area/subject.

 If the learner still fails remedial classes, s/he must

retake the subject/s failed during the summer or 2022 PARENTS’

Recomputed Final Grade

 Summative Assessments are also given during
remedial classes. These are recorded, computed,
weighted, and transmuted in the same way as the
Quarter Grade.
 The equivalent of the Final Grade for remedial
classes is the Remedial Class Mark (RCM).
 The Final Grade at the end of the school year and the
RCM are averaged. This results in the 2022 PARENTS’
