I may be aware of some of DepEd’s guidelines, but I do not know much about PEPT, same thing with the details about ALS.
With the help of some homeschool friends, I made this article to help us, yes that includes me, to understand about PEPT.
Online Registration for PEPT (Feb 3, 2021 Onwards)
What is PEPT?
Philippine Educational Placement Test (PEPT) is under the Accreditation and Equivalency Program (Executive Order No. 733, s. 1981).
“The purpose is for retrieving out-of-school youth (OSY) and placing them in the formal school system if they so desire, and for validating and accrediting knowledge and skills in academic areas gained through informal and non-formal means for re-entry into formal school, job promotion, entry to job training, for employment and self-fulfillment.”
Who needs to take PEPT?
PEPT was designed by DepEd for evaluation of students prior to entering the school system. Independent homeschoolers need PEPT for them to enroll in a college or university.
PEPT is not meant to be used as a yearly assessment for homeschoolers without the intention to enter into the Department of Education system (whether under an accredited provider or to be in a traditional school).
PEPT is not conducted for purposes of grade level acceleration.
What is the PEPT Coverage?
PEPT is administered to all levels from Grade 1 to high school. The test is a multiple-choice type based on the K to 12 Curriculum.
Elementary Level: Science | Mathematics | Araling Panlipunan | Filipino | English
Secondary Level:
ENGLISH – Reading Comprehension, Vocabulary Development, Writing Composition, Literature (Philippine, Asian and World), Grammar Awareness
SCIENCE – General Science, Biology, Chemistry, Physics
MATHEMATICS – Numbers and Number Sense, Measurement, Geometry, Patterns and Algebra, Statistics and Probability

ARALING PANLIPUNAN – Araling Asyano,Kasaysayan ng Daigdig, Ekonomiks, Current Trends<
You can use DepEd’s learning materials as PEPT Reviewers to more or less cover the topics/subjects.
What is the PEPT Schedule? How does one register for it? These questions will be discussed in the next post: How to Register for PEPT
If you have more info and some tips about PEPT, feel free to leave your comments.

Hi – is the PEP Test age based? My son finished his grade 5 at aged 9. He was supposed to be in grad 6 this SY but we opted to home school him, independently. Should he go back to school for grade 7, will they allow him to take the PEP Test fr Grade 7 at age 11? Thanks!
