2. NCAE Overview:Frequently Asked Questions3 3. 1. What is the NCAE? NCAE = National Career Assessment Examination It is an aptitude test geared toward providing informationthrough test results for self-assessment, career awareness andcareer guidance of junior high school students of the K to 12 BasicEducation Program (BEP). Test-taking is mandatory. Test results are recommendatory.4 4. 2. What other features characterize the NCAE? A locally developed test which was standardized andvalidated using Filipino respondents A paper-and-pencil test which utilizes scannable answersheets that are processed electronically A multiple-choice type of test Culture fair and sensitive Provides an end-user-friendly report format (COR)5 5. 3. Why was NCAE developed?The NCAE was developed to: To foster the highest quality of education in the Philippinesby regulating and monitoring the flow of students to postsecondary institutions of learning and their potentialcontribution to national development To minimize indiscriminate wastage of manpower andresources by working for a match between manpower skilloutputs and job market demands6 6. 4. What are the specific objectives of the NCAE? To assess the skills of Grade 9 students planning to proceedto senior HS, toward providing relevant information on theirskills, abilities and readiness for academic and non-academiccourses; To provide information that will help high school studentsmake wise career decision; and7 7. 5. How is NCAE different from NCEE?Similarities Differences Both are generalscholastic aptitudetests (GSAT) NCAE includes scientific ability asan area in GSAT Still recommendatory without cut-offscore Includes technical-vocationalaptitude, logical reasoning ability,occupational interest inventory,aptitude on academic tracks8 8. 6. Who are the target examinees of the NCAE? All enrolled Grade 9 students in public and privatehigh schools operating with permit Fourth Year HS Students and out-of-school youthswho are applying for TESDA scholarship9 9. 7.

Occupational Interest Inventory of Studentsin Secondary Schools (OIISSS) This is an inventory / checklist of occupational interests which providesan assessment on inclinations / preferences for comprehensive careerguidance. The students are provided with a profile chart of their occupationalinclinations and preferences thru the identified cluster occupations. These major occupations are finely divided into two specific groups the baccalaureate courses and vocational courses.12 12. 8. What information is derived from the NCAE COR? COR = Certificate of Rating The COR contains the report on how the examinees performed inthe test which is presented in a graph alongside the StandardScores and Percentile Ranks. The descriptive rating of the Percentile Rank is also included. The overall GSA and TVA scores are reported along with scores inthe subtests. The GSA score is the average of the standard scores in theseareas: SA, RC, VA, MA and LRA.13 13. Reporting of results for HUMSS, STEM and ABM will be inStandard Score and Percentile Rank. Likewise, the TVA score is the composite of the CA and VMSscores. OIISSS: The level of preference for each area of occupationalinterest is displayed based on percentage score which is asfollows: high (76-100), moderate (51-75), low (26-50) and very low(0-25) Examinees can gauge their individual strengths and weaknessesin every domain/area measured based on the test results.14 14. Potentials/Inclinations of Students Based on NCAE ResultsClerical Ability (CA) . This is a test of ability and skill to encodedata/informatio n and file office records, as well as ability to note details. High CAis the requisite skill for secretariat jobs for these jobes require good manualdexterity; thus individuals with high CA are potential computer operators.encoders, and stenographers.Visual M anipulat ive Skills (VM S) . This subtest measures abilities thatrequire perceptual and visual judgment in determining figures, symbols, andnature of space as well as skills in mentally manipulating objects and concretematerials. Manipulative skills are required in occupations such as machinetechnicians, jewelers, watchmakers, engravers, handicraft makers, and the like.No nverbal Ability (NVA) . This tests a person's reasoning ability to identifypatterns presented in diagrammatic form. The series of figures presented in eachitem requires the perception of an operating principle underlying the changes inthe figures. In each instance, the examinee must discover the principle'sgoverning change/s of the figures and give evidence of his understanding byindicating the diagram that should lo gically follow. It tests abilities required in jobssuch as engineering, science, architecture and any other jobs which involveworking with diagrammatic and similar visual informatio n.Lo gical Reaso ning Ability (LRA) . This measures an individual's ability tounderstand and analyze complexwritten material and derive correct conclusionsfrom it. Those with high LRA are likely to succeed in courses which require highanalytical/critical thinking skills like law, economics, theology, social science andmedical allied professions.Scient if ic Ability (SA) . This is an assessment of the individual'sscientific abilities and skills to adopt scientific methods, procedures andprocesses constructing knowledge and solving experimental or real-lifeproblems. One who has high SA has greater probability to excel in academicprograms that work mostly on scientific methodologies (e.g.medical alliedprofessions). Those with average SA can be successful in the field ofchemistry, physics, zoology, botany, biology, and other courses related toReading Comprehensio n (RC) . This measures the ability tounderstand what has been stated directly; to anlayze, interpret, and criticizewhat has been read; to recognize reasonable application of principles oropinions expressed by the author. A student with hig RC has the potentialto make sound inferences, syntheses, generalizations, or conclusions onwhat he/she read. Students who possess the skills will most likely succeedin courses that involve public speaking and even writing such as masscommunicatio n, teaching, theology, and law.Verbal Ability (VA) . This subtest measures the assertive ability of aperson in view of grammatical rules and lo gical arrangement of ideas.Individuals with hig VA have high sense of analogy; hence, they havepotential 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 assessquantitative abilities and computational skills, particularly, on working withnumbers, perceiving relationship between two quantities and solving wordproblems. One with high MA has high sense of mathematical calculus, arequisite skill in engineering courses, aeronautics and marine courses.AN INVENTORY OF OCCUPATIONAL INTERESTSA. SCIENCES B. ENGINEERING D.

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 deviationis 100. The highest scores are in the 700s; the lowest scores are in the300s. Percentile Rank - shows the examinees position among all theexaminees. If an examinee scores at percentile rank 99+, it means thathe scored above the other 99 percent of the examinees.16 16. Sample Plot of aPercentile Rank(PR) in a NormalCurve PR = 80X17 17. 12. Is there a testing fee required in taking the NCAE? None. The cost in the preparation of test materials andadministration of the test does not entail any amountfrom the schools, parents and students. All expenses are shouldered by the Department.18 18. 13. How long does it take for an examinee to receivehis/ her individual COR (test results)? 3-4 months19 19. 14. How will the NCAE guide high school students and their parentsin determining the career track they should take? The NCAE intends to provide information that will help high school studentsmake 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 thestudents in a particular occupational field. The test results will validate the previously thought career choice by showingthe students strengths and weaknesses in the aforementioned domains.20 20. 15. How has the general public responded to the results of the exam? Are parentswilling to follow the test results for their childrens career plans? In 2007, DepED-NETRC conducted a survey on the utilization of the NCAEresults for SY 2006-2007. Nineteen (19) higher education institutions and TESDA accreditedschools in twelve (12) schools divisions participated in the survey. The NCAE annual administration was viewed positively by 81.31% of thestudents. 80% of their parents affirmed in the necessity to administer the NCAEyearly.21 21. 85% of the school officials favored the annual administration ofthe NCAE. Across the four groups of respondents (students, parents, schoolofficials and CHED/TESDA institutions), the NCAE elicited highacceptance level. All groups manifested agreement on the yearly administration ofthe NCAE.22 22. 16.Based on the results of the test, what are the policy directions ofDepED on the basic education curriculum?Policy Directions: Based on the results of the NCAE over the years, majority ofour high school graduates have inclinations toward technical-vocational(tech-voc) occupations. The strengthening of 261 technical-vocational highschools is being carried out by the Department whereinimprovements are being made in their curriculum, training,physical and policy support.23 23. The results validate DepEDs decision to put great stress on tech-voc program,that is, to equip high school students with technical-vocational skills that canempower them to find meaningful employment, whether or not they pursuecollege education. DepEDs tech-voc curriculum is being aligned with the training regulations ofTESDA. This will allow tech-voc high school graduates to acquire TESDAcertificates. It is also the Departments goal to improve the abilities of students in thegeneral scholastic domain.24 24. Moreover, the Department is currently working onintensifying the career guidance programs in publicnational high schools and in orienting the guidancestaff in the schools and division offices on how tomaximize the utilization of the NCAE results in orderto properly guide students in making wise careerdecisions.25 25. 17. How can the results of the exam help solve the problem of jobmismatch? With the results of the NCAE, the students will bedirected to occupational fields where they would bepotentially productive and successful.26 26. 18. Can the results of the NCAE be used in ranking schools? No. The results of the NCAE should NOT be used for otherpurposes other than career guidance.27 27.
