Grading Systems and
the Grading system of

the Department of
Education
Grading System
• The academic performance of students is evaluated and
graded at the end of each item in accordance with the
prescribed grading system
• It is uniform using number grades from highest to lowest

passing grade.
• GRADING and SCORING is different.
AMERICAN SYSTEM
A, B, B+, B-, C, C-, D

BASIC EDUCATION
-percentages (e.g75%, 80%)
Norm-referenced Grading
• Refers to a grading system wherein a students grade is placed in
relation the performance of a group.
• In this system, a grade of 80 means that the student performed

better than or same as 80% of the class or group.
• A student or pupil who happens to enroll in a class of gifted students in Mathematics
will find that the norm-referenced grading system is rather worrisome. For example, a
teacher may establish a grading policy whereby the top 15 percent of students will
receive a mark of excellent or outstanding, which in a class of 100 enrolled students
will be 15 persons. Such a grading policy is illustrated below:
1.0 (Excellent) = Top 15 % of Class

1.50 (Good) = Next 15 % of Class
2.0 (Average, Fair) = Next 45 % of Class
3.0 (Poor, Pass) = Next 15 % of Class
5.0 (Failure) = Bottom 10 % of Class
Criterion-referenced Grading
• There is a fixed target and the students must achieve that target
in order to obtain a passing grade in a course regardless of how
the other students in the class perform.
• The scale does not change regardless of the quality, or lack

thereof, of the students.
For example, in a class of 100 students using the table below, no one might
get a grade of excellent if no one scores 98 above or 85 above depending on
the criterion used. There is no fixed percentage of students who are expected
to get the various grades in the criterion-referenced grading system.
1.0 ( Excellent) = 98-100 or 85-100

1.5 (Good) = 88-97 or 80-84
2.0 (Fair) = 75-87 or 70-79
3.0 (Poor/ Pass) = 65-74 or 60-69
5.0 (Failure) = below 65 or below 60
If a teacher gives a passing score 50%, then the students
must get a passing grade.
Class A= the highest score of student get 95, then the

equivalent or the criterion referenced grade is 97.5
Class B= the highest score of the student is 90, then the
criterion referenced grade is 95
Now to compute: Class B
90 divided by 100 multiply by 50 plus 50 = 95
Four Questions in Grading
Marnila D. Svinicki (2007):
1. Should grades reflect absolute achievement level or achievement relative
to others in the same class?
2. Should grades reflect achievement only or nonacademic components
such as attitude, speed and diligence?
3. Should grades report status achieved or amount of growth?
4. How can several grades on diverse skills combine to give a single mark?
Standard Test Scoring
Test standardization is a process by which teacher or researcher-
made tests are validated and item analyzed. After the validation,
the test characteristics are established.
• Test Validity
• Test Reliability
• Test Difficulty Level
Cumulative and Averaging Systems of
Grading
o Averaging System- The grade of the student on a particular grading
period equals the average of the grades obtained in the prior grading
periods and current grading period.
Example:
80- Preliminary Solution: 80+90+85/3= 85
90- Midterm
85- Final
Therefore, is the final grade of the student for the semester.
o Cumulative System- The grade of a student in a grading period equals his/ her
current grading period grade which is assumed to have the cumulative effects of
the previous grading periods.
Example:
80- Preliminary
90- Midterm
80- Tentative Final Grade
Solution: Final Grade = 1/3 of Midterm + 2/3 of Tentative Final Grade
= 1/3 (90) + 2/3 (80)
= 30 + 55.33
= 83.33
Policy Guidelines on Classroom Assessment for the K-12
Basic Education, DepEd Order No. 8, s. 2015
Weights of the Components for the Different Grade Levels and

Subjects
3 components:
• Written Work
• Performance Task
• Quarterly Assessment
The percentages vary across clusters of
subjects:
• Languages, Araling Panlipunan (AP), Edukasyon Sa Pagpapakatao
(ESP) belong to the cluster and have the same grade percentages
for written work, performance tasks, and quarterly assessment.
• Science and Math are another cluster with the same component
percentages.
• Music, Arts, Physical Education and Health (MAPEH) make up
the third cluster with same component percentages.
Table 1. Weights of the Components for
Grades 1-10
The quarterly grade for MAPEH is the average
of the Quarterly Grades (QG) in the four areas.
QG = QG for Music + QG for Arts +QG for PE+ QG for Health

4
How are grades computed at the end of the school year?
For Kindergarten
• There are no numerical grades in Kindergarten. Descriptions of the
learners’ progress in the various learning areas are represented using
checklists and student portfolios. These are presented to the parents at the
end of each quarter for discussion. Additional guidelines on the
Kindergarten program will be issued.
For Grades 1-10
• The average of the Quarterly Grades (QG) produces the Final Grade.
Final Grades and General Average
example:
For Grades 11 and 12
• The two quarters determine the Final Grade in a semester.
Example:
Grade 11, 2nd Semester
of ABM strand
