1. What is DepEd MPS?

The Mean Percentage Score (MPS) is a measure used by the Department of Education (DepEd) to assess student performance. It indicates the average percentage of correct answers across all test items.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the MPS formula:

Where:

• Raw Score — Number of correct answers
• Total Items — Total number of test items

Explanation: The formula converts the ratio of correct answers to total questions into a percentage score.

3. Importance of MPS Calculation

Details: MPS helps teachers evaluate class performance, identify learning gaps, and adjust teaching strategies. It's also used for school-level assessment and program evaluation.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the number of correct answers as Raw Score and the total number of test items. Both values must be positive numbers, and Raw Score cannot exceed Total Items.
