This paper examines how the 2018 general education curriculum aligns with competency-based assessment standards, with a particular focus on 6th-grade mathematics. The research encompasses the design and implementation of a computer-based end-of-year mathematics exam, created between March 1 and May 15, 2023, and administered to over 3,850 students via the AEGlobal educational platform. The study underscores the importance of a competency-based assessment framework in education, exemplifies this through the development of a mathematics assessment tool, and offers insights into student adaptability to the new standards. Furthermore, it contributes to enhancing teaching and learning quality across the general education system.
