Aptitude exams like the National Career Assessment Examination (NCAE) and Academic performance via Grades are important data used as the basis for determining student career strength. This study employed descriptive-correlational research, where secondary data were used. The analysis of NCAE results and the academic performance of Grade 10 students were performed in this study. An Independent Sample T-test was also used to determine the significant difference in the two aptitudes/tracks; Technical-Vocational (T.V.) and Academic Track (AT) . The study revealed that the majority of the students performed above average and average levels across all domains. Natural Science, Spiritual Vocation, and Science were the students' most preferred careers/occupations. The results also showed a weak positive association between Mathematical Ability and Math performance. However, an insignificant relationship was observed on the two sets of variables; the Science Grade and Scientific Ability scores, and the English Grade and Reading Comprehension and Verbal Ability scores. The study revealed that students have higher AT scores than T.V.; thus, identified as the students' career strength. Evaluation and monitoring program with provisions to motivate students to perform better in the National Standardized Exams is recommended in the study.  \nKeywords: academic performance, aptitude test, career assessment, career track/strand , curriculum  \nINTRODUCTION  \nEducation is a vehicle of knowledge, self-preservation, and success (Bhardwaj, 2016) . The primary aim of education is to help each individual in society attain their potential and enhance their capabilities. It paves the way for the holistic development of the individual, society, and the nation (Bhardwaj, 2016) . Moreover, it helps individuals participate in society's basic functions and acquire an essential educational foundation for their development into a productive and versatile citizen (UNESCO, 2010) . Blaschke (2012), as cited in Olaniran (2016), emphasized that developing lifelong learners who can survive and thrive in a global knowledge economy should be the primary concern of every educator. Teachers should educate students and ensure that they are challenged academically and prepared for participation in a global environment (Wagner, 2016) .  \nIn response to globalization, the Philippines sets its way in providing 21st-century education longing to provide quality education to attain excellence learning, appropriate teaching, and advance resource teachers (Masuhay & Herrera, 2019) . Filipinos give utmost importance to education, for it is crucial to have a stable job to eventually elevate social status. Thus, the education sector emphasizes that the  \nCitation: Sugano, S. G.
