Tens of thousands of professional teachers have used the first volume of the Yellow Book and have attested to its usefulness that includes relevant and latest concepts that have helped them in acing the let.

This book is designed to help aspiring teachers in preparing for the LET. This includes more than a thousand of questions, mostly patterned with latest board questions. The questions are followed by only two options for better retention and mastery. The book also includes recall questions from recent LET topnotchers and passers. This Yellow Book version 2.0 coupled hardwork, determination, and faith in God will surely make wonders in helping you and your dreams to become one! PREPARING FOR THE BOARD EXAM A TOPNOTCHER’S TIPS TO TOP THE LET Taking the board exam can be stressful, a bit frustrating but a life-changing opportunity not only for you but also for the people around you. Taking the board exam is hard work and it needs commitment, passion and patience...unending patience. Passing the board exam is already a reward, but topping it is another story! A lot of people ~ my family, CBRC, friends, and God Almighty have helped me achieve my wildest dream, and now it’s my turn to help dreamers be one with their dreams. Here is my recipe in topping the board exam, the SLIP method: STRATEGY Always remember that you can’t go in a battle without the proper tools to defeat your foe, the same is true with the board exam. You can’t overcome it unless you know it! Before taking the boards, you need strategize — meaning you need to know your strengths and weaknesses, One subject is enough to pull your score down, you can’t let that happen! So as early as now, assess yourself. Concentrate more on the things you are having difficulty with and love these subjects. Maintain your strength and develop your weaknesses. Part of strategizing is proper preparation. Feed not only your intellect, but also be emotionally, mentally and spiritually healthy. Also, set a goal. And when you set a goal make sure that it’s high enough to bring shivers down your spine (Kanyan- kanyang trip lang yan!) Set a goal to top the board exam. Think about this everyday and your mind will control your efforts — effort pang topnotcher. LOGIC In taking the board exam, it is not actually how much you know but how much of what you know is relevant. Remember that the board is a 300-item or a 450-item exam, it is impossible for them to ask all the concepts in that exam. Be familiar with the board concepts and board questions. That is why it is a must that your practice answering questions. Be patient in answering questions. Each day you need to make that you have answered ample amount of questions (like 50 or 100 items per day). Through this, you can also master testmanship, which is a very important skill in taking the board exam. Read — Review — Answer — Repeat! INSTINCT Did you ever experience changing your answer just to find out that your first answer is the correct answer?! Well, you are not alone, | experience that all the time! There are questions in the board that you will have a hard time answering. This will consume your time and make you more anxious. You can let this happen because you might not be able to finish the exam on time. So if in case this happens, just remember trust your first instinct! This way, you’re saving time and avoiding erasures too. PUSO Put your heart in whatever you do, (Pusuan mo ang board exam!) Keep yourself motivated and learn to sacrifice. Reviewing for the boards will consume too much of your time — instead of you going out with your friends or family, you’re stuck in the center reviewing (Nilamon na ng board exam!). But | tell you, all these sacrifices will all be worth it in the end! If we put our hearts in whatever we do, things get easier, things get lighter. The journey in topping the boards is not easy, but it will be worth it! Start reviewing early and end it with a bang!
