DepEd BEA
The PEPT (Philippine Educational Placement Test) is DepEd BEA's official placement and equivalency exam in the Philippines for out-of-school youth, over-age learners, and learners from schools without a government permit. It assesses English, Filipino, Mathematics, Science, and Araling Panlipunan, and examinees need a rating of at least 75% per subject area to gain grade placement. A learner who fails one subject may retake that subtest within six months; failing two or more means retaking the whole grade level. DepEd does not publish the official item count, so this free practice bank is an English-language study aid covering all five subjects with explanations for every option.
