One of my earliest experiences helping with PEPT coordination was... chaotic, to say the least. The deadline for report submission was just two days away, and I couldn’t find the right Excel template. I searched everywhere — emails, shared drives, even old DepEd folders on my laptop. Nothing.
Then I discovered something that would’ve saved me hours of panic: DepEd had provided all the official links online. Clear, accessible, and ready for download.
So if you’re a Division Testing Coordinator (DTC) or part of a School Division Office (SDO) team preparing for the 2025 Regular PEPT, this post is for you. Let’s make sure you have everything you need — and every link that matters.
How PEPT Testing Centers Are Organized
Before we jump into the download links, let’s talk about how the testing centers are set up.
-
Testing centers are located in select School Division Offices (SDOs) across the Philippines.
-
Some divisions may operate more than one testing center to accommodate all registrants.
-
The Bureau of Education Assessment (BEA) provides the official number of test materials per SDO and assigned center.
-
Division Testing Coordinators (DTCs) handle the evaluation of documents, registrant data, and submission of participant lists.
If you’re wondering how many test-takers to expect, BEA usually releases the final list of approved registrants a week before the scheduled test administration.
Here Are the Links for 2025 Regular PEPT Templates and Submissions
To streamline reporting, DepEd has provided official links for downloading and submitting the required files for the 2025 Regular PEPT.
π₯ Download the Required Excel Template
To report the actual number of test registrants per testing center (and to update the list of testing centers if applicable), use this official Excel file:
π bit.ly/2025RegularPEPT_Template
This template is essential for ensuring uniform reporting and consistency across all divisions. Remember — incomplete or outdated files can cause verification delays.
π€ Submit the Excel and Signed PDF Copy
After completing the Excel file and securing signatures, upload both the Excel and signed PDF copies here:
π bit.ly/2025RegularPEPT_Submission
When saving your file, follow this format exactly:
π [Region]_[Division]_2025RegularPEPT
Example:
RegionIV_A_Batangas_2025RegularPEPT
This standardized filename helps BEA process submissions efficiently and prevents data mismatches.
Submission Timeline and Responsibilities
DTCs play a crucial role in making sure everything runs smoothly before test day. Here’s a quick rundown of their key responsibilities:
-
Submit the actual number of Regular PEPT registrants at least one week before the scheduled testing.
-
Coordinate with BEA for test materials, ensuring that every registered participant has an assigned testing center.
-
Update the list of testing centers if any new sites have been approved by the division office.
-
Ensure accuracy — mismatched data between Excel and PDF copies may delay the release of materials.
Personal Tip: Start Early, Finish Calm
When I assisted with PEPT coordination last year, one thing became clear — last-minute submissions cause unnecessary stress. Printers jam, emails bounce, and internet connections drop exactly when you least need them to.
Now, I tell every DTC I meet: submit early. Even a day ahead can save you hours of troubleshooting. And when the test materials arrive on time, you’ll thank your past self.
Did You Know?
π The BEA handles national testing programs such as the PEPT, NAT, and ELLNA — ensuring fair, standardized assessments across all regions.
π« Some SDOs host as many as five PEPT testing centers depending on registrant volume.
π» Starting 2025, all PEPT data submissions are fully digital, including Excel and PDF formats for transparency and accuracy.
Final Thoughts: Every Link Counts
In education, small details often make the biggest difference — and sometimes, the right link is all you need to keep things running smoothly.
So to every DTC, testing coordinator, or educator working behind the scenes: thank you. Your diligence ensures that thousands of learners get the opportunity they deserve.
