The Monitors
1. NETRC staff-monitors will be assigned to any testing
center(s) nationwide, unannounced in the field.
2. External-volunteer monitors from civil society (e.g.
SK, church members, NGO’s, et.al.) are expected to
report incidents of cheating. The process should be
duly documented with photos and narrative reports.
3. The expenses incurred by external-volunteers are not
chargeable to NETRC funds.
15
Orientation at the Division Level
 This is primarily aimed to orient all the testing staff in the NAT
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 out for nonattendance.
 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.

subtotals for each curriculum program in a certain school. NO
gender segregation;
Group schools by municipality and NOT by alphabetical order;
To facilitate the delivery and retrieval of TM’s for the NAT G6

5.
23
BEIS and NETRC are using similar School IDs both recognized by
the Department;
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;
The School IDs issued by NETRC will be used temporarily for
future test administrations until such time BEIS issues the
permanent ID;
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.
Y4 Students with back subjects
- Only those Y4 students graduating in March 2013 will be allowed
to take the NAT Y4.
Guidelines on the Use of School IDs
6. School ID to be used
- For students who already transferred, the school ID of
the present/new school will be used.
-Schools affected by the calamities and those who are
temporarily relocated will use the same school ID.
7. Schools with similar school ID.
- Use the bar coded school ID found in the school header.
9. Fourth Year students in Night High Schools
- They may take the NAT as long as they are candidates for
graduation in March
24
Regular and Special Science Classes in the Elementary Level
and Engineering and Science Education Program (ESEP) in the
Secondary Level
- In elementary schools with Special Science Curriculum, assign a
separate Examination Room for those examinees in the said classes.
- School IDs of examinees from regular and special science classes
must be the same because they belong to one school.
- Separate test results may be provided for the special science classes
as long as examinees will “properly shade” the identifying portion in
the AS (Do you belong to a section with special science curriculum? –
Elementary Level; Do you belong to a section for Engineering and Science
Education Program (ESEP) in your school? – Secondary Level)
25
Guidelines on the Use of
Learner Reference Number (LRN)
1. Use the LRN that was provided by the
Office of the Planning Service, DepED
Central Office.
2. The LRN must be reflected in each of the
examinees’ AS and in Form 1.
