How about the PEPT results?

A PEPT Certificate of Rating (COR) is issued to each individual examinee.  The examinee needs to pass all subjects to be accredited to a specific grade level (You can use DepEd’s learning materials as PEPT Reviewers to more or less cover the topics/subjects).

The Certificate of Rating (COR) will be issued from February to March for Nationwide Testing and are sent to Division Offices.  Examiners in BEA can pick up their COR there.

The test results (for those who took the PEPT – Regular/Special) shall be utilized or will be in effect in the subsequent school year and not during the school year when the test was taken.  For PEPT – June 12: The results shall take effect within the school year.
