How to Pass the LET (Licensure
Exam for Teachers) in One Take!
Are you ready to take the LET board exam?

Don’t worry if you’re feeling afraid or nervous or anxious. That’s a normal feeling when taking any
exam, especially a licensure exam that can be a major milestone in your life. For most examinees the
LET is indeed stressful and terrifying. But with adequate preparation, the rewards for passing can be
enormous and life-changing!

Below we prepared for you some helpful tips to pass the Licensure Exam for Professional Teachers
(LEPT) in just one take — taken from examinees who successfully passed the LEPT and are now
Licensed Professional Teachers (LPT)!

Take time to adopt these tips to ensure you’ll pass the licensure exam for teachers!

5 Tips to Pass the LET Exam in One Take

1. Set a regular schedule for review
It is best to set a consistent time schedule to review for the LET exam. To be a successful passer,
studying for the exam must turn into a habit. Setting a regular time schedule will help keep a
disciplined approach to studying. It is best to set the time when there is least amount of distractions
and you can focus on your subject matter. Make sure you allot a certain number of hours per day
and/or per week to study then stick to this plan.

2. Practice! Practice! Practice!

It is advisable to master the subject matter by taking sample exams whenever available. This allows
you to test your readiness and preparation. When you feel that you have adequately studied a topic,
proceed to answering sample exams to check comprehension. As they say, practice makes perfect.
Even if you did not get the correct answer the first time, keep doing practice tests so you will
eventually get the right answers!
3. Use Memory Notes
The sheer volume of information that an examinee must memorize during a LET exam can be
daunting! It is very useful to take down concepts or information that you find difficult to remember and
put them in small notes. Carry these notes anywhere and read them! When you have time — for
example when riding a jeepney, waiting for the bus, or lined up waiting for your turn — just bring out
your notes and start reading. This will help you remember information easily.

4. Surround yourself with positive people

Taking a challenging exam becomes more challenging if the people around you are not supportive.
Make sure you surround yourself with positivity, including being with people who can provide you
moral support. If there are distractions or negativity, temporarily move away from them so you can
focus on studying. If you can, find like-minded people or meet with other LET examinees so you can
share experiences and tips regarding LET review.

5. Believe in yourself
Be positive. Even if you keep making mistakes answering sample exams, take note of your
achievements and feel good about them. Continue studying until you can increase your score.

Take time to rest if needed. Meditate and talk to God so that you may be your best self during the
exam day. As the cliché goes – Do your best and God will do the rest.

We hope these tips will be useful to you. We wish you the best in your upcoming Board exam. We
know you can make it and you’ll soon be a licensed Elementary or Secondary Level Professional
Teacher in the Philippines! Good luck!

Prayer for Students taking the Licensure Exam

for Teachers (LET)
Father of Light and Wisdom,
thank you for giving me
a mind that can know
and a heart that can love.

Help me to keep learning every day of my life–

no matter what the subject may be.
Let me be convinced that all knowledge leads to you
and let me know how to find you and love you
in all the things you have made.

Encourage me when the studies are difficult

and when I am tempted to give up
Enlighten me when my brain is slow
and help me to grasp the truth held out to me.

Grant me the grace to put my knowledge to use

in building the kingdom of God on earth
so that I may enter the kingdom of God in heaven.
Amen.
