The research focuses on the preparation and validation of an authentic and communicative language test that can be used in remote teaching for high school students in the Philippines. Exploratory sequential mixed method research is the study design that involved seven (7) high school teachers and ninety-five (95) high school students from grade 8. Data were analyzed using document analysis, focus group, and validation of appropriateness, clarity, and validity of the exam. A statistically weighted arithmetic mean was used in the validation results, and it underwent revision. The language test was developed to be appropriate, clear, and effective. It will help in the development of other types of communicative and authentic tests in different grade levels of K-12 Filipino subjects suitable for remote teaching. It will also serve as a starting step and support the gradual elimination of the concept of giving traditional examinations in the current curriculum and will focus on teaching and testing the ability to use the language in communication.
