Ensuring smooth assessment proceedings. Mr. Marlon D. Dalde, the School Property Custodian, ensured the functionality of all computers used for the assessment, while Mr. Abelardo L. Tamares Jr, the testing coordinator, provided guidance and technical assistance during the post-test.

The post-test encompassed evaluation in English, Science, and Mathematics, assessing students' levels of skill and competencies through a multiple-choice format primarily conducted in the English language.

Before the post-test, all students in Grades 8-9 were requested to review and update their DepEd email addresses with the assistance of the school's ICT coordinator, Mr. Christian A. De Guzman, who himself, updated their email account from his end.
