This reviewer covers all NAT-tested subjects: Math (integers, ratio, percentages), Science (body systems, ecosystems), English (reading comprehension, grammar), and Filipino (panitikan, masining na pagpapahayag). Regular practice with these questions builds confidence and familiarity with exam formats.
What math topics are most important for Grade 6?
Grade 6 Math focuses on integers and operations, fractions/decimals/percentages, ratio and proportion, rate problems, geometry (circles, volume, area of complex shapes), data analysis (mean, median, mode), and algebraic expressions. These topics form the foundation for high school mathematics.
When is the NAT Grade 6 exam usually held?
The NAT Grade 6 exam is typically administered by DepEd during the fourth quarter of the school year (usually February-March). Schools announce specific dates. We recommend starting review at least 2-3 months before the exam for best results.
