NAT IV replaces NAT II starting March 2012

Effective March 2012,  fourth year high school students all over the Philippines will take the National Achievement Test (NAT).

Based on Deped Memo 266 dated November 24, 2011, NAT IV will be on  March 9, 2012.

NAT will be a tool to measure how much the students have learned in his or her 10-year basic education. This will also be a big help to finally institutionalize the K12 curriculum. 

The test was formerly administered to second year high school students.
