ABSTRACT

One of the most concerning problems in San Enrique National High School (SENHS)
is that students do not have enough time to review and prepare for the college
admission test. Many students in the previous school year did not pass the college
admission test. The main objective of this study is to assist or give future intervention
and perform a review session before taking examination to help the students
enhance their preparedness. This study used the Grade 12 students of academic
track of San Enrique National High School with total of 71 students. The study used a
test questionnaire which consist of 4 major subjects: English, Filipino, Science and
Mathematics. The results show that in terms of profile; most of the respondents were
female, 17 years old and above, and most of them have parents below 10,957 or
poor socio-economic status.

Chapter 1

INTRODUCTION

Background of the Study

Education is a way of learning in which one achieves knowledge. From

childhood to adulthood, students receive their education mainly through classroom

instruction. World Vision (2021) defines education as the process by which people

acquire or impart basic knowledge. It is also where people develop vital life skills,

understand social norms, develop sound judgement and reasoning, and learn to

discern right from wrong.

The study by Abrogar et al. (2019) states that college preparedness refers to

the skills, behaviors, and knowledge a Senior High School student should have.

Senior High School is recognized as the last two years of secondary level of

education under the K to 12 programs. This program includes grade 11 and 12 which

holds a total of four semesters. Senior High School students go through various

programs and subjects under their chosen strand.

There are barriers to accessing Higher Education. According to Vieira et al.

(2020), the two primary institutional barriers present in most Higher Education

systems are tuition fees and entrance examinations. Tuition increases are very

clearly associated with diminished attendance and completion rates. The university

will be out of reach for those who come from poor households and do not have

significant financial contributions. Entrance examinations and requirements seem a

justifiable means of assessing whether students are equipped to engage in a

particular course. Yet, in many cases, there are privileged students from high-quality

schools and those who have been able to pay for preparatory courses.
2

In Southeast Asia, the Philippines boasts one of the most expensive

education systems. The World Bank reported that although education makes up 18%

of the national budget, the nation nonetheless has one of the lowest rates of

educational attainment in the area. Many Filipino families, struggle because of the

high cost of schooling. There are, however, some opportunities that could lower the

price of education in the Philippines. The exorbitant expense of tuition fees is one of

the biggest issues Filipino families deal with. Private schools, which make up a

sizable share of the education market, frequently impose astronomical tuition costs

that are out of reach for many families. Because of this, a lot of pupils are forced to

attend public schools, which have additional expenses like transportation, uniforms,

and school supplies.

Some schools offer scholarships but one needs to fit some qualifications like

passing their college admission test to get the scholarship. A scholarship can help

someone cover the cost-of-living expenses while in school. However, some students

are not qualified for the scholarship because they did not pass the examination which

is why it is important to prepare and review before the examination. Reviewing for an

exam can help in determining what to know and what still needs to be worked on.

The review process can also help to better understand key ideas and concepts that

will likely be the foundation for further learning in a course or discipline.

One of the most concerning problems in San Enrique National High School

(SENHS) is that students do not have enough time to review and prepare for the

college admission test. Many students in the previous school year did not pass the

college admission test. The school, therefore, is looking for solutions to help improve

the college and career preparedness of their high school graduates. Based on the

observation, the concerns of admission test takers where the slots are limited and

some schools prioritized students who live within their city and students are taking of

two tests instead of just one.

3

Key areas in preparing for admission test are necessary, therefore, the

researchers will be learning the status of college preparedness of graduating Senior

High School students and find effective ways to help them prepare and have time to

review for college admission tests.

Theoretical Framework

The main aim of this study is to determine the level of college preparedness

of Grade 12 students from San Enrique National High School. The purpose of this

study is to help their preparation for standardized college admission test. Therefore,

this study is anchored with the Law of Readiness by Thorndike (1910). According to

this theory, readiness is a series or a set of responses that can be linked together to

achieve a goal. If the person is prevented from achieving this goal, this will annoy

them. Moreover, the Law of Readiness refers to a preparatory set on the part of the

subject to learn. It points out that learning only happens when one is physically and

mentally ready for it. A person can learn when physically and mentally adjusted

(ready) to receive stimuli. Individuals learn best when they are ready to learn, and

they will not learn much if they see no reason for learning. In the absence of

willingness, learning cannot be effective. Learning can only take place if a student is

ready to learn. Additionally, learning is dependent upon the learner’s readiness to act,

which facilitates the strengthening of the of thee bond between stimulus and

response. Thus, a student who is highly motivated and eager to learn is more likely to

be receptive to learning than one who is poorly motivated. Finally, being ready

means, you are equipped with skills to deal with what lies ahead and to learn from as

well as contribute to what is happening. This combination of preparedness and

openness to learning is ideal for development.

 4

Conceptual Framework

This study determined the student’s preparedness in standardized college

admission test and the ability to pass the examination. Its objective was to help the

students in preparation for the examination.

The profile contains the information such as sex, age, and socioeconomic

status. With this information, it helped the researchers to gather the needed data of

the participants.

Furthermore, the first step in this study is to conduct a test and determine the

scores of Grade 12 students under academic track in San Enrique National High

School (SENHS). After determining the results, the proposed solution is to have a

future intervention, this solution is intended to help students learn and prepare for

upcoming examination.

Therefore, the result of their test is continuous variable since the researchers

base their results on their scores.

Statement of the Problem

A college entrance exam is standardized aptitude test that measures the

student’s aptitude in various areas verbal, mathematics, analytical, and writing skills.

Many students from San Enrique National High School (SENHS) in previous school

year have not able to pass the college admission test and that could possibly affect

their educational career. The main objective of this study is to assist or give future

intervention and perform a review session before taking examination.

Specifically, this study sought to answer the following questions:

1. What is the profile of the respondents in terms of:

1.1 Sex

1.2 Age

1.3 Socio-economic status

2. What is the level of college preparedness of Grade 12 students?

Hypothesis of the study

Since it is only measure the college preparedness and this study was utilized

descriptive research design, hypothesis testing in this study was not possible.

Significance of the study

For Students. This study will be a step towards helping the students to

prepare for the college admission test. College preparedness will also help the

incoming college freshman to improve their academic and college performance.

For School. This study could be beneficial to the school because they can

help the students for the procedures in college preparation. In addition, they will

understand how crucial for the students to be prepared in college not just physically

but also mentally.

6

For Teachers. This study is essential for teacher because they are the primary

facilitators of students learning and test preparation, influencing their academic

performance and readiness for these crucial assessments.

For School Principal. This study would be beneficial because the school

principal can have a better understanding to the situation of incoming college

students and better make a procedure concerning Senior High School student

graduates.

For Parents. This study plays a significant role in the parents, they will help

them by motivating their children, emotionally supporting them, and guiding the

children to succeed and pass the test.

For Community. By conducting this research, the community can be more

advanced and developed. It can also lessen the number of uneducated teens. With

this study, a community can be productive.

For Future Researchers. Future researchers can be benefit from this study

as it equips them with knowledge about the present issue. Furthermore, it can be

served as a valuable reference, offering them a foundational understanding to

address and take action regarding the preparedness of Grade 12 students for

college.

Scope and Delimitation

The main purpose of this study is to provide opportunity and future

intervention for students to review before taking college admission test. The study

contemplates the student’s personal information such as their age, sex, and socio-

economic status. The researchers limited the study to all Grade 12 students under

academic track enrolled first and second semester of the school year 2023-2024 at

San Enrique National High School. The study conducted from October 2023 to April

2024. Each of the respondents took a test. The students selected came from three
7

different section to compare the results of their test. This study utilized quantitative

descriptive research design and test questionnaire.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES

The study of college preparedness is widely observed and recognize as a

research topic by various scholars worldwide. College preparedness encompasses

the abilities, knowledge, and behaviors that a senior high school students should

possess when beginning their first year of college. Research on college

preparedness benefits not only students but also high school educators who guide

younger students and colleges in their admissions decisions. These studies and

works helps the researchers in providing useful information with the assured

authenticity to be served.

College readiness typically focuses on academic rigor, executive functioning,

and adequate financial resources (Tierney & Duncheon, 2015). For students,

readiness includes additional factors such as parental support, emotional

intelligence, and financial management. It is also important to recognize that the

10

college years are when students are developing their own identity, and this identity is

shaped and connected to their communities. Being a student-ready college requires

defining success as student learning (McNair et al., 2016) and providing academic

and financial supports, but also the social-emotional supports students need to feel

they belong on campus and to persist. In schools, Gysbers (2013) suggested that

school counselors served students by providing activities that support student

planning by giving emphasis to the development and use of decision-making, goal

setting, and planning skills and by stressing basic academic and career and technical

education preparation skills.

Zwick (2019) examine the function of college admissions tests in the US and

consider the fairness concerns related to their application. The SAT, which was first

offered in 1926, and the ACT, which was first given in 1959, are the two main exams.

These test results have been demonstrated to help predict college performance, but

different universities play different roles in the admissions process. Despite the fact

that test results are frequently cited as one of the most crucial admissions criteria in

national surveys of postsecondary institutions, more and more colleges are

implementing test-optional policies. Because of the significant performance

differences across racial and socioeconomic groups, test score restrictions are

viewed at many universities as a barrier to campus diversity. The decentralized

higher education system has thankfully, a variety of admissions policies can be

accommodated by the American system. However, it is imperative that the effects of

changes to admissions policies be carefully examined, as well as how they will affect

resources.

In the context of admissions, the examination of students' capacities to meet

the demands of university study has mostly centered on the evaluation of cognitive

talents through intelligence tests. The findings of earlier studies show how these

skills might be used to predict future university performance. However, current

11

regulations try to pinpoint talents from a broader perspective, such higher order

thinking skills (HOTS), that may affect college achievement in the context of

admissions testing. To identify the most pertinent admissions criteria that accurately

predict academic performance, a thorough examination of the literature was

conducted. There were found to be 2681 unique articles in total. 42 of them did so,

as determined by the review conducted by two independent researchers, meet the

requirements for inclusion. The competencies evaluated in incoming university

students were categorized and examined after a peer review process. Cognitive

talents, self-regulated learning (SRL) skills, and soft skills all contributed to the

explanation of academic achievement. The importance of cognitive skills like verbal

and mathematical reasoning in academic success was underlined among the

competences evaluated. The research shows that critical thinking, effort regulation,

time/study management, self-directed learning, leadership, and teamwork are

important SRL skills. Soft skills were also emphasized, including conscientiousness,

professionalism, internal locus of control, self-efficacy, and social responsibility. In

accordance with the 2030 Agenda goals and the 21st century skills framework, the

findings of the present study will contribute to the development of thorough

competence assessments and educational materials aimed at better preparing

students before beginning university studies (Luesia et al., 2023).

Metrics for admission vary greatly depending on a university's attributes. The

study of Liu & Chu (2023) broadens the focus to analyze how universities react to the

changing admissions landscape, moving from relying solely on test scores to

including holistic screens in college screening, whereas earlier research has chosen

one or two colleges to study gatekeeping. In order to test the risk-tolerance

hypothesis, Liu & Chu (2023) analyze Taiwan's university-level admissions data from

69 fourth-year universities in 2019. What they discover is that while top-tier

universities prioritize prestige over survival logic, they are lenient with second-stage
12

holistic screenings while being selective with first-round score cutoffs. Bottom and

mid-tier however, institutions prioritize survival over reputation, choosing inclusivity to

increase applicant pools in the first round and exclusivity while assessing qualitative

performance. We contend that the various dynamics of "peer institutions" during the

screening stages are to blame for this reverse logic. The relevance of time in

organizational strategies should be considered, and we suggest implications for

organizational changes, uncertainty, and ranking in for-profit higher education.

According to Heeney & Hurst (2022), some of the perceived advantages of

standardized testing include the quantifiable results that give educators the

opportunity to identify areas where students are proficient or where students need

remediation or advancement. Through regular standardized testing, educators can

view reports with information on a student's progress and identify a trend of growth or

decline. It should be noted that opinions on these perceived advantages may differ

among different education stakeholders including policymakers, parents, and

teachers. Assessing data and performing quantitative analysis of that data are both

design goals for standardized assessment exams. This enables schools to

benchmark and evaluate their students' performance against the representative

sample used in the standardization process using the final published assessments. A

child’s standardized test scores could help teachers decide how to address

knowledge gaps in a particular subject. School administrators can also use test

scores to figure out if specific teachers need more training. If some classes are

underperforming relative to state standards, more teacher training may need to be

completed (Tunnell, 2022). One reason why standardized tests should be kept in

schools is because they are a good measure of a student’s achievement. For

example, if we did not have standardized tests, policy makers would have to rely on

tests that have been made and scored by teachers and individual schools that have

favorite students. Also, multiple choice questions on standardized tests are graded by
13

a machine so it is fairer than a test graded by a teacher. This evidence shows that

standardized tests give more reliable results (McIver, 2015).

But in contrast, Heeney & Hurst (2022) also stated that some of the

disadvantages of standardized testing include the non-academic factors that can

influence a student's test score including anxiety, fatigue, and a lack of motivation.

Standardized test questions also fail to assess a student's higher-level thinking skills,

and educators may be tempted to "teach-to-the-test" rather than focus on the unique

needs of the students in their classroom. Test questions can also be written in ways

that students without certain lived experiences are unable to understand. This

creates a system of inequity and one in which some students are rewarded for their

ability to understand a question's context while others are penalized at no fault of

their own. In addition, standardized testing is that it’s easy to interpret a student’s

score as the sole judgement of that student’s ability. We’re constantly emphasizing at

Whitby that the number is only one point of data within an array of internal

assessments across many subject areas that provide us with information on a

student’s learning progress. There are many cases where students have

demonstrated clear understanding within a subject or concept through various

assessments but aren’t as skilled at taking multiple choice tests. Nevertheless, it can

be hard on a student if they feel that they didn’t perform as well as they’d like. In

worst case scenarios, instead of determining the entire picture of learning through a

review of all assessment data with their teachers, a student might determine their

success based on a standardized test score that is taken once a year (Nixon, 2016).

We also need standardized tests to be outlawed because they give students anxiety.

Standardized tests can give even the brightest of students the worst anxiety

(Palackal, 2015).

The intervention enhanced student performance while lowering test anxiety

levels. Through participation in learning-oriented strategies and in-class activities,

14

faculty members and department heads should assist students in learning about the

study preparation during the course of the semester (Yusefzadeh et al., 2019). As

stated by Hawthorne (2023), some interventions are targeted, and are put in place to

address a certain weakness. These interventions are likely to be more formally

monitored in order to track the child’s progress, whereas other interventions are more

flexible, and adjust according to the changing needs of the student, while some

interventions can be costly and time-consuming. In order to be effective, there needs

to be a demonstrable impact, so structuring interventions requires strategic thinking.

Test preparation did improve test scores, but the advantages came mostly

from test-taking strategies like drilling and a more focused curriculum. Despite being

small in absolute terms, the impacts accounted for approximately a third of the

effects from the pretest (Qin Xie, 2013). The existence of individual differences in the

use of test preparation has raised concerns regarding the fair and valid use of

admission tests. Measurement specialists argued that the extent to which individual

differences in test preparation affects the measurement fairness and construct

validity of admission tests depends on the processes that lead to an increase in

admission tests score due to test preparation. Four theoretical models have been

advanced in the literature to account for the effect of test preparation on admission

test scores. The four theoretical models make competing predictions with regard to

the processes that lead to an increase in admission test scores and the extent to

which measurement fairness can be assumed across test-takers differing in test

preparation at the time-point of the actual admission exam. Concerns about the fair

and accurate usage of admission tests have been raised due to individual variations

in test preparation. The processes that result in an increase in admission test score

as a result of test preparation, according to measurement professionals, determine

the amount to which individual differences in test preparation affect the measurement

fairness and construct validity of admission tests. In the literature, four theoretical
15

models have been put forth to explain how test preparation affects admission test

scores. Regarding the mechanisms that enhance admission test scores and the

amount to which measurement fairness may be assumed across test-takers with

varying levels of test preparation at the time-point of the actual admission exam. In

the present article, In order to model individual differences in the usage of exam

preparation techniques by candidates to a medical university (N=1768), latent class

analysis was utilized. In terms of test preparation, four latent types of test-takers were

shown to differ both subjectively and numerically. At the level of the individual

subtests, studies based on item response theory, multi-group means, and covariance

structures revealed strict measurement invariance across the four latent classes.

However, there was no correlation between group disparities in admission test scores

and differences in either psychometric g or general natural scientific knowledge,

respectively. The results were in line with theoretical theories that suggest an

improvement in test-specific cognitive capacities and/or domain-specific knowledge is

the cause of the effect of test preparation on test-takers' admission test scores

(Arendasy et al., 2016).

Over the past three years, the pandemic has brought profound disruptions to

children’s learning, exacerbating the pre-existing global learning crisis. We need to

act urgently to recover learning and seize this opportunity to build education systems

back better. Yet, new findings from the fourth round of the Survey on National

Education Responses to COVID-19 School Closures show that many countries are

still not taking targeted and proven steps to address learning loss (Giannini et al.,

2022).

RAPID actions to recover learning: Reach every child and keep them in

school; Assess learning levels regularly; Prioritize teaching the fundamentals;

Increase the efficiency of instruction; and develop psychosocial health and wellbeing.

We find that while countries have made some progress to implement measures that
16

address learning recovery, we must amplify our efforts to urgently mitigate the effects

of the pandemic on children’s learning and overall wellbeing (Giannini et al., 2022).

Reaching every child is the common denominator of education recovery. At

primary and secondary education levels, most countries are taking measures such as

automatic re-enrolment and community mobilization campaigns to return children to

school. However, a quarter of countries have yet to collect information on children

who have and have not returned to school. For truly transformative education

systems, we need to eliminate barriers that exclude vulnerable groups, ensure the

right to education is fully captured in national legal and regulatory frameworks,

strengthen flexible models of education, and invest in strengthened Education

Management Information Systems for disaggregated and real-time information

(Giannini et al., 2022).

The report finds that relatively few countries had implemented fully

evidenced-based policy measures to address learning recovery and acceleration,

while many had continued as before the pandemic. For example, less than a third of

countries implemented some of the policy measures known to be most cost-effective

in improving learning. However, some countries had notably invested in learning

recovery and acceleration efforts that move them toward a new and improved status

quo (World Bank, 2023).

In the spring of 2021, just 1 year after schools were forced to close for

COVID‐19, state assessments were administered at great expense to provide data

about impacts of the pandemic on student learning and to help target resources

where they were most needed. Using state assessment data from Colorado, this

article describes the biggest threats to making valid inferences about student learning

to study pandemic impacts using state assessment data: measurement artifacts

affecting the comparability of scores, secular trends, and changes in the tested
17

population. The article compares three statistical approaches (the Fair Trend,

baseline student growth percentiles, and multiple regression with demographic

covariates) that can support more valid inferences about student learning during the

pandemic and in other scenarios in which the tested population changes over time.

All three approaches lead to similar inferences about statewide student performance

but can lead to very different inferences about student subgroups. Results show that

controlling statistically for pre-pandemic demographic differences can reverse the

conclusions about groups most affected by the pandemic and decisions about

prioritizing resources (Shear, 2023).

Furthermore, Dobre (2022) noted that college preparation is so important to

have successful college life. It is beneficial to enhance your self-discipline and

independence to face the challenges you may encounter. Early planning can help

you to make the most of your performance during your college career. With this, you

can decide which course you’re going to choose. It can also help you to get higher

grades. Being unprepared in college can lead to academic problems, hopelessness,

and stress. That’s why it is essential to prepare before you enter college. This study

negates to the study of Seisa & Galabo (2023), it appears that the study was female

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

A research methodology serves to establish credibility of a study and

facilitates the production of scientifically result. Furthermore, it provides a detailed

plan to keep researchers on track, ensuring a smooth, effective, and manageable

research process. It also enables readers to comprehend the specific approach and

methods employed by the researcher to arrive at their conclusions.

Research Design

The purpose of this study is to equip high school students with the

knowledge, skills, and resources they need to succeed in higher education. This

study includes academic readiness, such as mastering major subjects, critical

thinking, and research skills as well as social and emotional preparation for the

challenges of college. It also involves career planning and developing a sense of

independence and responsibility. College preparedness help students make a

smooth transition from high school to college and ultimately increases their chances

of academic and personal success in higher education. The objective of this study is

typically to assess and analyze the readiness of high school students or incoming

college students for the academic, social, and emotional challenges they may

encounter in higher education. This may involve examining factors such as academic

skills, study habits, time management, social skills, and psychological readiness to

determine how well students are equipped to succeed in college. The ultimate goal of

this study is often to identify areas where improvements can be made to better

prepare students for the transition to college and improve their chances of succeed to

pass the admission test.

The research methodology utilized in this study is the Descriptive Research

Design. This specific approach was selected to evaluate the level of college

preparedness among the study participants. The study adopted a quantitative type of

research in which the researchers conducted a test, all designed to assess the

knowledge and preparedness of the respondents in relation to the research topic.

Descriptive research design is a powerful tool used by scientists and

researchers to gather information about a particular group or phenomenon. This type

of research provides a detailed and accurate picture of the characteristics and

behaviors of a particular population or subject. By observing and collecting data on a

given topic, descriptive research helps researchers gain a deeper understanding of a

19

specific issue and provides valuable insights that can inform future studies, this

according to Sirisilla (2023).

Subjects and Respondents of the Study

The subjects and respondents of the study were seventy-one (71) Grade 12

students under academic track enrolled in first and second semester in San Enrique

National High School.

Population and Sample Size

The sample size of the population was determined using Slovin’s Formula.

N
n= 2
1+ N ( e )

Where:

N = Population size

n = Sample size

e = margin of error (0.05)

The collective population of Grade 12 students following the academic

track is eighty-seven (87) individuals. Utilizing Slovin’s Formula, a sample

size of seventy-one (71) has been determined for this group.

Data Gathering Instruments

A two-part questionnaire was used as the research instrument to gather the

needed data. The first part was utilized to identify the profile of the respondents such

as their sex, age, and socio-economic status. The second part was utilized to

determine the level of preparedness of the respondents.

Validity and Reliability of the Research Instrument

The research teacher carefully checked how good and useful the research

instrument was. The researchers made sure that the students will answer the test

questionnaire. Permission to respond to the questionnaire was sought from Grade 12

students under academic track.

21

Data Gathering Procedure

At the start of the research, the researchers write a letter asking for

permission from the school principal to conduct this study.

After the permission and schedule was secured to conduct the study, the researchers

acquire the permission of the respondents.

Upon obtaining the approval, the researchers distributed the approved test

questionnaire.

Data Analysis

Upon receiving the all the completed questionnaires, the researchers started

to check, analyze, and separating all the gathered information.

In analysis of data, different statistical tool was used:

1. To answer the statement 1 which states, what is the profile of the respondents

in terms of sex, age, and socio-economic status, frequency count and percent

distribution was used.

2. To answer statement 2 which states, what is the level of college preparedness

of Grade 12 students under academic track, the formula of the mean was

used:

∑x
x=
N

Where:

x = mean
22

∑ x = sum of all scores

N = number of respondents

Scores for the level of preparedness when group will be interpreted as

follows:

Mathematics, Science, English, Filipino (50-item test)

Table 2 reveals that among seventy-one (71) respondents there were 43 or

60.56% are female, while 28 or 39.44% are male. These results conclude that there

were more female than male respondents. This finding negates to the study of Seisa

& Galabo (2023), it appears that the study was female dominated by 52.4% of the

total population, on the other hand, male was only 47.6%.

As to age, there were 42 or 59.15% are aged 17 years old and below, while

29 or 40.85% are aged 18 years old and above.

In terms of Parent’s Monthly Income (socio-economic status), 54 or 76.06%

belongs to poor, 13 or 18.31% belongs to low income but not poor, 3 or 4.23%

belongs to lower middle class, and 1 or 1.41% belongs to middle class. The
25

researchers used the parent’s monthly income to determine whether the social class

of the respondents affects their academic performance.
