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 high school students planning to proceed to post
secondary courses and other career options, 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
� To provide bases for selecting scholarship awardees and recipients of study
grants from the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) and the Technical
Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA).

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,
entrepreneurial skill, non-verbal
ability, logical reasoning ability and
interest inventory

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 and MA.
13
� Likewise, the TVA score is the composite of the CA and VMS
scores.
� Additionally, the NCAE reports scores for LRA, NVA and ES.
� 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.

AN INVENTORY OF OCCUPATIONAL INTERESTS
Potentials/Inclinations of Students Based on NCAE Results
C ler ica l Ability (C A). This is a test of ability and skill to encode
data/info rmation and file o ffice records, as well as ability to note details. H igh CA
is the requisite skill fo r secretariat jobs for these jobes require good manual
dexterity; thus individuals with high CA are potential computer operators.
encoders, and stenographers.
Visual M anipulative 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. M anipulative skills are required in occupations such as machine
technicians, jewelers, watchmakers, engravers, handicraft makers, and the like.
N o nverbal A bility ( NVA ). This tests a person's reasoning ability to identify
patterns presented in diagrammatic fo rm. The series o f 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 o f the figures and give evidence of his understanding by
indicating the diagram that should logically fo llow. It tests abilities required in jobs
such as engineering, science, architecture and any other jobs which invo lve
working with diagrammatic and similar visual information.
Lo gical Reaso ning Ability (LR A). This measures an individual's ability to
understand and analyze complex written 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, theo logy, social science and
medical allied professions.
Scientific Ability ( SA) . This is an assessment o f the individual's
scientific abilities and skills to adopt scientific methods, procedures and
processes constructing knowledge and so lving experimental o r real-life
problems. One who has high SA has greater probability to excel in academic
programs that work mostly on scientific methodo logies (e.g. medical allied
pro fessions). Those with average SA can be successful in the field o f
chemistry, physics, zoo logy, bo tany, bio logy, and o ther courses related to
Reading C o mprehensio 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
communication, teaching, theo logy, and law.
Verbal A bility (VA ). This subtest measures the assertive ability o f a
person in view of grammatical rules and logical arrangement of ideas.
Individuals with hig VA have high sense of analogy; hence, they have
potential in mass communication, law, teaching, and preaching vocation.
Those with average VA can be developed in advertising careers.
M athematica l A bility (M A ). This subtest is used to assess
quantitative abilities and computational skills, particularly, on working with
numbers, perceiving relationship between two quantities and so lving word
problems. One with high M A 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.

in determining the career track they should take?
� The NCAE intends to provide information that will help outgoing high school
students make wise career decisions based on the results of the three 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.
23
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.

� 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.
25
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.
26
� 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.27
� 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.
