Alternative Learning System Accreditation and Equivalency (ALS A&E) program in the Philippines provides educational opportunities to every Out-of-School-Youths (OSYs), school leavers and adults, non-attendees of the formal school system, OSYs who are visually impaired, learners at home, non–passers of the previous A & E test and others which include unemployed or employed OSY adults, workers, housewives, maids, driver, and other Indigenous Peoples (IPs). The study determined the profile and performance level in Mathematics of the A&E test passers in the province of Sorsogon, Fiscal Years 2012 to 2014. The respondents were 52 A&E test passers in the province. This descriptive correlation method of research used survey questionnaire, unstructured interview and documents to gather the needed data. Profile of the respondents such as age, sex, grade level during the test, status of enrolment, and family income were correlated to their performance level in mathematics using chi-square test. The results imply that most of the A & E test passers were in Grade V during the test, male adults belonging to the poorest families and did not enroll after passing the test. The age of the A & E test passers was significantly related to their performance level in Mathematics.
