17
Orientation at the Division Level 
This is primarily aimed to orient all the testing staff in the NCAE 
administration. But due to budgetary constraints only one 
representative per school is authorized to attend--either the SH 
or the STC. However, a 100% attendance is imposed for the 
school representative. Sanctions should be meted for non-attendance. 
Hence, a mechanism should be devised so that all testing staff 
are properly oriented; one of which is orienting all the teaching 
force in the school by the SH/STC to be ready on exam day in 
case there will be shortage of REs in other testing centers. 
A soft copy of the Examiner’s Handbook and the guidelines 
must be provided to School Heads to save printing cost.

Guidelines on the Use of School IDs 
1. BEIS and NETRC are using similar School IDs both recognized 
by the Department; 
2. New schools without School IDs are given temporary ones by 
the NETRC and no other sources to avoid duplication and to 
facilitate allocation of test materials; 
3. The School IDs issued by NETRC will be used temporarily for 
future test administrations until such time BEIS issues the 
permanent ID; 
4. In case there are several School IDs for one school, follow the 
School ID indicated in the Scannable School Header(SSH) and 
check the correctness of School ID in the TMs received. 
24
Guidelines on the Use of 
Learner Reference Number (LRN) 
1. Use the LRN that will be provided by the 
Office of the Planning Service, DepED 
Central Office. 
2. The LRN must be reflected in each of the 
examinees’ AS , Form 1, List of Examinees to 
be posted at the door.

TEST RESULTS DISSEMINATION

On Archiving of Division Test Results of 
National Examinations 
 Please access and download the test results 
through the NETRC website 
 Available for 6 months only 
68
Potentials/Inclinations of Students Based on NCAE Results 
Clerical Ability (CA) . This is a test of ability and skill to encode 
data/informatio n and file office records, as well as ability to note details. High CA 
is the requisite skill for secretariat jobs for these jobes require good manual 
dexterity; thus individuals with high CA are potential computer operators. 
encoders, and stenographers. 
Visual M anipulat ive 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. Manipulative skills are required in occupations such as machine 
technicians, jewelers, watchmakers, engravers, handicraft makers, and the like. 
No nverbal Ability (NVA) . This tests a person's reasoning ability to identify 
patterns presented in diagrammatic form. The series of 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 of the figures and give evidence of his understanding by 
indicating the diagram that should lo gically follow. It tests abilities required in jobs 
such as engineering, science, architecture and any other jobs which involve 
working with diagrammatic and similar visual informatio n. 
Lo gical Reaso ning Ability (LRA) . This measures an individual's ability to 
understand and analyze complexwritten 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, theology, social science and 
medical allied professions. 
Scient if ic Ability (SA) . This is an assessment of the individual's 
scientific abilities and skills to adopt scientific methods, procedures and 
processes constructing knowledge and solving experimental or real-life 
problems. One who has high SA has greater probability to excel in academic 
programs that work mostly on scientific methodologies (e.g.medical allied 
professions). Those with average SA can be successful in the field of 
chemistry, physics, zoology, botany, biology, and other courses related to 
Reading Comprehensio 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 
communicatio n, teaching, theology, and law. 
Verbal Ability (VA) . This subtest measures the assertive ability of a 
person in view of grammatical rules and lo gical arrangement of ideas. 
Individuals with hig VA have high sense of analogy; hence, they have 
potential 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 assess 
quantitative abilities and computational skills, particularly, on working with 
numbers, perceiving relationship between two quantities and solving word 
problems. One with high MA has high sense of mathematical calculus, a 
requisite skill in engineering courses, aeronautics and marine courses.
