Abstract: The study looked into the performance of the students per year level and LET subject component. The study also identified the subject component where students performed well and poorly. The study also looked into the discrimination and difficulty indices to assess the validity and reliability of the items as instruments to measure achievement. The respondents covered all students who took the examination. The study used the descriptive – evaluative design. The instrument used was an achievement test which covered the subjects taken by the students for the current school year. Item analysis was done on the answers of the students. The data were treated statistically using means, percentages and ranking.The performance of the students was measured through the percentage of students who got the correct answer. The indices of difficulty and discrimination were also determined. The examinees registered an Average performance. The First Year examinees registered the highest level of performance. The examinees ranked highest in the Majorship Component of the examination. In the Majorship Areas, the best performance was in English while the least was in Content Courses. Close to one-third of the items are of moderate difficulty. A little more than a half of the items are constructed well.
