Once again, you have proven that the city is on track in promoting academic excellence through substantial investments in programs aimed to continually raise the quality of our public education system,” Mayor Abby Binay said.
A total of 41,546 Makati students from Grades 3 to 10 took the TOFAS online test consisting of 100 multiple-choice questions that can be finished in 40 minutes on a desktop, tablet, or Android smartphone. The students were tested on computational skills, which include decimals, fractions, integers, equations, polynomials, systems, and quadratic equations.
