“According to my teacher who was with us as we students take the test, before we took the exams, he told us the exact date of the results of the test, and the exact date was March 13, 2013, according to him, the teacher. He also told us to check depED's website for the results. Oddly enough I forgot his name. This news is for the students who are from NCR region however as I am from the NCR region. Hopefully, I just hope all of us will be able to surpass this ALS A&E 2012 test for a brighter outcome in our lives.”

Mga ALSyers Inip na sa Resulta ng Test

Inip na inip na ang mga ALSyers o yaong mga kumuha ng ALS A&E examinations noong November  at December 2012. Paano nga naman ay nalalapit na ang mga college entrance examinations. Hindi nila alam kung kukuha ba sila ng pagsusulit o hindi.

Ganito rin ang nangyari noong nakaraang test ng October 2011. Inabot ng April 2012 bago inilabas ng Department of Education (DepEd) ang 2011 ALS A&E Test Results. Aabutin din kaya ng lima o anim na buwan ang resulta ng November and December 2012 ALS A&E test results? Sana naman ay hindi. Sana ay natuto na ang DepEd na bilisan ang pagsisiyasat at pagbibigay ng kontrata sa mga bidders na magtsitsek ng mga test papers.

Sa mga kumuha ng exams, tiyaga-tiyaga lang. Huwag mawalan ng pag-asa. Habang nahihintay ng resulta ay magreview sa English at Mathematics dahil kakailanganin ninyo ito kung sakaling pumasa kayo sa 2012 ALS A&E tests at kukuha ng college entrance tests sa iba't ibang college o university.

Nov - Dec 2012 ALS A&E Results

Naiinip na sa resulta ang mga kumuha ng pagsusulit sa Alternative Learning System (ALS) Accreditation and Equivalency exams noong nakaraang November - December 2012. Tulad nang nakaraang taon, tila madedelay na naman ang paglabas ng resulta. Inabot ng limang buwan bago lumabas ang October 2011 ALS A&E noon. Ganito rin kaya sa taong ito?

Habang hinihintay ang resulta, payo ko sa mga kumuha ng pagsusulit na patuloy na mag-review ng Mathematics at English. Ito ay para naman sa kukunin ninyong entrance examinations sa college o university kung sakalaing pumasa kayo sa ALS A&E.

Sa ngayon, good luck sa lahat! Sana ay pumasa kayo!

Nov & Dec 2012 ALS A&E Test Results

After the last day of the Alternative Learning System (ALS) Accreditation & Equivalency (A&E) exams on 16 December 2012, this year's takers are now wondering whether they pass or not. However, the real agony is not the result per se but WHEN it will be released. Last year's ALS A&E result was released more than 5 months because of the delay in the bidding process. I do hope that the passers of the 2012 examinees be released before the normal high school or college registration.

Dahilan Sa Pagkakaantala ng 2012 ALS A&E Exams

Marami ng mag-aaral ng Alternative Learning System (ALS) Accreditation & Equivalency Exams para sa taong ito ang naiinip na at dismayado sa kapalpakan ng BALS at DepEd  dahil sa pagkakaantala ng pagsusulit na dapat ay sa buwan ng October 2012 ginawa.

Ang dahilan ng pagkakantala o postponement ng ALS Oct 2012 test ay ang hindi pa pagbibigay ng kontrata para sa paglilimbag ng pagsusulit, pagtsi-check at resulta nito. Nitong October 29. 2012 ay ngalabas pa ang DepEd ng panibagong kailangan para sa bidding. Ito ang dahilan kung bakit hindi pa nasisimulan ang pagsusulit. Nangangahulugan lamang na napakakupad ng tanggapan ng BALS at DepEd para sa proyektong ito. Dapat ay hindi bigyan ng Bonus ang namamahala ng programang ito dahil sa kapabayaan nila sa tungkulin, maliban na lamang kung wala o naantala ang pondo ng kagawaran para rito.

Narito ang Rebid requirements para sa ALS A&E exams:

http://www.deped.gov.ph/cpanel/uploads/issuanceImg/BidBulletinNo.1.pdf

Postponement of the ALS Examinations in October 2012

Undersecretary for Programs and Projects, Yolanda S. Quijano, issued an advisory on September 27,2012, regarding the postponement of the October 2012 Alternative Learning System Accreditation and Equivalency (ALS A$E) Test throughout the country. The test is supposed to take place on the four Sundays of October 2012. The postponement is due to administrative constraints. All registered test takers are advised to wait for the announcement of the new schedule. The new schedule shall be posted here once it is available/announced by DepEd or BALS.

ALS Amended Guidelines on Unified Contracting Scheme

The Department of Education issued  Department Order No. 77 series of 2012 the Amended Guidelines on Alternative Learning System Unified Contracting Scheme 0n September 28, 2012. The Order among others specified the contract amount of P110,000.00 for Service Providers and P125,000.00 for Balik Paaralan Para sa Out-of-School Adults (BP-OSA) for 10 months.

ALS A & E Test in October 2012

Kulang-kulang sa isang buwan ay sisimulan na ang pagsusulit ng Alternative Learning System Accreditation and Equivalency Examinations ng Department of Education. Ito ay gagawin sa Buwan ng October 2012.

Dahil dito, hataw na ang ginagawang review ng mga estudyanteng nagpatala sa pagsusulit sa tulong ng kanilang mga guro at coordinators.

Narito ang ilang tips o dapat gawin ng mga kukuha ng ALS exams:

1. Dalhin ang mga kailangang gamit na nakasulat sa inyong permit o sinabi ng inyong coordinators.
2. Kung lapis ang gagamitin, siguraduhing may reserba kayo o kaya ay may dalang pantasa at pambura.
3. Basahin mabuti kung paano sasagutin ang mga tanong. Sundin ang sinasabi ng proctor.
4. Umihi muna bago pumasok sa kuwarto kung saan gaganapin ang pagsusulit.
5. Huminga nang malalim at maging kalma bago simulan ang pagsagot sa mga tanong.
6. Kung hindi sigurado ang sagot sa isang tanong, sagutin pa rin ito subali't lagyan ng maliit na marka sa tabi ng numero nito upang balikan kung sakaling may oras pa.
7. Gawing mabilis ang pagsagot sa mga tanong nguni't huwag mataranta. Kung may oras pa, basahin muli ang mga tanong at ang inyong sagot.
8. Saguting mabuti ang essay portion o sanaysay ng pagsusulit. Sa aking palagay, kahit mataas ang nakuhang marka sa multiplee choice kung napakababa naman sa essay ay BAGSAK o FAIL pa rin ang kalalabasan.
9. Gawing malinaw sa pagsusulat ng sanaysay/essay. Dapat ay may iisang diwa lamang ang isang paragraph at magkakaugnay ang bawa't paragraph.
10. Huwag agad lalabas ng silid kung sakaling may oras pa. Rebesahin ang inyong mga sagot.
