NASH Reviewer: National Assessment for School Heads - Practice Test 4

This 20-item NASH (formerly NQESH) practice test checks a school head’s grasp of core DepEd policies and delivery models—from Alternative Delivery Modes (vs. specific distance options), blended and distance learning, and the distinctions among curricular, co-curricular, and extra-curricular activities, to the Exit Assessment in Grades 6/10/12. It also covers LAC focus areas, research management rules (virtual/remote activities, face-to-face with risk controls, courier submissions, allowable communication expenses), use of digital signatures, and DepEd’s learner-centered Mission with shared governance. Governance and HR items reinforce merit- and fitness-based selection, RA 9155 guiding principles (school at the heart, service to learners/teachers, community involvement, instructional leadership), and small-school clustering criteria for Head Teacher posts—all framed as multiple-choice questions with explanations to build policy-accurate decision making.
