Passing the Licensure Examination

for Teachers (LET) is one of the
requirements to become a
professional licensed teacher in the
country’s public elementary and
secondary school system. The LET is
administered twice every year
(September and March) in various
testing centers nationwide by the
PRC Regulatory Board for
Professional Teachers. 

Before you start dusting off your old

books and notes for your review
sessions, you need to familiarize
yourself first with the coverage of the
LET2.

Both elementary and secondary

teacher examinees have to take two
subtests: (1) General Education and
(2) Professional Education. However,
secondary teacher examinees must
take a third subtest dedicated to their
Area of Specialization. 

To pass the LET, an examinee must

obtain an average of at least 75%
with no rating lower than 50% in
any subtests.

Review Tips and Tricks
English and Filipino have the
highest share of questions in this
subtest, so you have to dedicate
more time preparing for them.
Aside from mastering their
respective grammar rules and
usage, familiarize yourself with
English and Filipino literature.
There are some questions about
famous writers (e.g., Shakespeare,
Edgar Allan Poe, Nick Joaquin,
Francisco Baltazar, etc.) as well as
literary masterpieces (e.g. The
Iliad, Shakespearean plays, The
Divine Comedy, etc.)

The subtest has a broad scope, so

you must retain as much
information as possible within your
limited time. Refrain from delving
deeper into each topic since it’s
time-consuming. An overview of
these concepts is sufficient. 

Reading the Philippine

Constitution should give you
enough information about our
political system. No need to
remember every detail of our laws;
instead, focus on those related to
the structure and functions of our
government (e.g., branches of the
government, qualifications for
public officials, bill of rights, duties
of the state, etc.)

Calculators are prohibited during

the LET (except for those
specializing in math). So, ensure
you can perform basic arithmetic
with ease and speed. 

Answering math mock exams

repeatedly is the best way to
develop your quantitative skill. It’s
impossible to master a lot of
mathematical concepts within a
week, so you have to start
answering practice tests as early
as possible.

Refrain from simply memorizing

scientific terms and concepts.
Most questions require the
application of these concepts, so
you must have at least basic
comprehension of how these
concepts work. 

Don’t take this portion lightly.

Some examinees failed this part
due to overconfidence. Consistent
practice is the key to gaining
mastery of the general concepts.

Review Tips and Tricks
Get a sense of what the questions
in this subtest look like by taking
mock exams. Some examinees
stated that some LET questions
are similar to the previous exams
they took. Thus, mock exams will
give you an idea of what concepts
are usually asked and how to
answer them.

Take note of recent changes in the

curriculum, if there are any.

Most questions are about

concepts and theories you’ve
learned in your education classes.
Hence, it might be helpful to reread
your old notes and lectures if you
have any. Allot at least 1 to 2 hours
daily for reading to ensure
effective recall of those previous
lessons. 

Don’t stress too much with this

portion. Although this part seems
challenging, there are questions
that can be solved just by using
your common sense and intuition.

Review Tips and Tricks
Since you’ve already studied the
topics in your specialization during
your undergraduate days, spend
most of your review sessions for
this subtest taking practice exams
instead of rereading your previous
lessons. 

Study with people that have the

same major as you. It is possible
that they know something about
your major that you could not
cover in your undergraduate
classes.

G e n e ra l T i p s To
Pass the LET
Create a schedule or plan that
sets which lessons you’ll study
each day. This gives structure to
your self-review and allows you to
cover as many topics as possible.
Furthermore, it helps you
determine how much time you can
realistically allot for review in case
you have to perform other tasks
simultaneously (e.g., family
responsibilities, work, etc.).

Allot at least 4 hours a day

reviewing. If it’s difficult for you to
study continuously for hours, use
the Pomodoro technique, where
you have to split that 4 hours into
smaller blocks of 25 minutes with
5-minute breaks in between.

Recognize your weakness/es as

soon as possible. To do this, take a
diagnostic exam and identify which
subjects where you think you will
perform worst. This helps you
identify what field/s you must
spend more time on to address
your weakness.

Learn to anticipate the answer to

the question before reading the
given choices. The wrong choices
are there to confuse you; however,
by already having an answer in
your mind after reading the
question, you will be less likely to
be swayed by misleading choices.

Train yourself to answer a

question in less than a minute. In
the actual LET exam, examinees
will be under time pressure. Hence,
it’s important to hone your time
management skills to reduce your
anxiety when taking the exam.

Prepare a logbook where you can

write what you’ve learned for the
day. This is to keep you from the
trap of reviewing the same
concepts again and again without
realizing that you have little time
left to cover lessons you haven’t
studied yet.

LET is not just a test of memory

and knowledge but also
endurance. Remember that you’ll
be taking more than a 5-hour
exam, so you must be prepared
physically and mentally. Hence, do
not forget to take some rest while
reviewing. Sleep early before the
exam and have a good breakfast.

Fre q u e n t l y A s ke d
Questions

1. How many hours is

the LET exam?
The LET for elementary teachers is
about 5 hours long, while the LET for
secondary teachers is about 8.5
hours long.

2. Is LET a board exam?

Yes, the Licensure Examination for
Teachers is the board exam that
every aspiring professional teacher
must pass before they’ll be able to
practice their profession in a
Philippine Public School System.

3. How many times can I

take the LET?
As long as you are qualified and able
to submit the documentary
requirements, you can retake the LET
as many times as you wish.

4. Is the LET exam

difficult?
Previous examinees said that the
General Education portion is difficult
while the other subtests are not that
much. Overall, the LET exam is
manageable to pass with enough
preparation and proper reviewers.
