Passing the Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET) isn’t about recalling concepts or how wide your vocabulary is; it’s about how you comprehend and analyze each question.

Many aspiring teachers review in the wrong way. Some of them memorize concepts, thinking LET is about recalling terms, names, etc. Others think that LET is about familiarizing themselves with questions, so they try to answer every question they encounter.

They forget the essence of reviewing.

Reviewing does require memorization and familiarity with concepts, as these help you build your foundational knowledge. But these aren’t the only things you need because in LET, your metacognitive skills matter most. This means you need to comprehend and analyze each question to arrive at the correct answer.

What is LET?

LET stands for the Licensure Examination for Teachers. The Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) and the Board for Professional Teachers (BPT) administer this standardized exam. Under Republic Act 7836, also known as the Philippine Teachers Professionalization Act of 1994, passing the Licensure Examination for Teachers is a legal requirement before one can teach in the Philippines.

Although this is a universal requirement, several exemptions allow individuals to teach without a license under specific conditions.

1. Incumbents (before RA 7836)

These are individuals automatically granted a license to teach without taking the LET before the enactment of Republic Act 7836 on December 16, 1994, provided that they had PD 1006 eligibility or Civil Service Commission teacher eligibility.

2. Special Permits for Experts

Under Republic Act 7836, Section 26, as amended by Republic Act 9293, the law allows any non-licensed individual internationally recognized as an expert in their field to teach by granting them a special or temporary permit.

For example, Lea Salonga can teach music as she is internationally recognized as an expert in music and performing arts. This recognition makes her eligible for a special permit to teach Music even without a professional teacher’s license.

3. Para-teachers

These are non-passer teachers who took the LET, but their general average falls from 70 to 74.99.

Under RA 7836, individuals who obtain ratings between 70% and 74.99% (within 5 percentage points of the 75% passing average) are eligible for a two-year special permit to teach, which is renewable for a non-extendible period of two years.

4. K-12 Senior High School Specialized Practitioners

These are individuals granted a special permit to teach due to their expertise in technical or specialized courses, such as accountants, IT professionals, engineers, and other experts in Technical-Vocational tracks.

According to Section 8 of Republic Act 10533, these individuals are granted 5 years from the date of hiring to take and pass the LET.

LET Coverage Based on the Enhanced Table of Specifications for Teachers

However, when preparing for the LET, one important thing to consider is knowing the exam’s coverage. The exam’s scope tells you which subjects are included, how many items there are, and the weight for every core subject.

Below is the coverage for the Licensure Examination for Teachers based on the latest table of specifications.

Start typing above (e.g., BEED, English Major, Math, SPED) to view the complete exam breakdown.

Understanding the exam's coverage helps you determine which subjects need more attention.

For example, in a sample test of 150 items in General Education, Professional Education, or Specialization, if you scored low in Professional Education, that means you need to spend more time on Prof Ed to master its concepts and analyze each question.

For example, General Education Intellectual Competencies cover 60 items, including English, Math, Science and Technology, and Filipino. This means 40% of the 150 items will come from this coverage.

What is the passing score for LET?

To pass the Licensure Examination for Teachers, according to the PRC BOARD FOR PROFESSIONAL TEACHERS RESOLUTION NO. 228, SERIES OF 1996, October 23, 1996, all examinees must obtain a rating of 75% with no rating lower than 50% in either General Education, Professional Education, or Specialization.

This means that even if you score 75% or higher, if one of your ratings in General Education, Professional Education, or Specialization is below 50%, your remark is FAILED.

Here's how your LET scores are computed.

Elementary EducationSecondary Education and BEED with Specialization
General Education - 40%General Education - 20%
Professional Education - 60%Professional Education - 40%
Major/Specialization - 40%
Total: 100%Total: 100%

Formula:

1. To get your percentage rating: Subtest Percentage = Scores/Raw Scores x 100

2. To get your weighted average: Weighted Score = Subtest Percentage x Weighted Average

For example, in General Education, you scored 135/150; in Professional Education, 128/150; and in Specialization, 110/150.

General Education:

Subtest Percentage = 135/150 = 0.9 x 100 = 90% (This is your rating in General Education)

Weighted Score = 90 x 20% = 18% (This is your weighted score in General Education)

Professional Education:

Subtest Percentage = 128/150 = 0.853 x 100 = 85.3%

Weighted Score = 85.3 x 40% = 34.12%

Specialization:

Subtest Percentage = 110/150 = 0.733 x 100 = 73.3%

Weighted Score = 73.3 x 40% = 29.32%

Core SubjectsWeighted Score
General Education18%
Professional Education34.12%
Specialization29.32%
TOTAL:81.44% (Your LET final rating)

NOTE: For BEED, use the same formula.

What if you meet the passing grade of 75 but score below 50% in one subject? Will you pass?

Examine the following examples.

Core Subjects Score Calculation (Score / 150 × 100) Weighted Score
General Education 143/150 143/150 x 100 = 95.3% 95.3 x 20% = 19.06%
Professional Education 138/150 138/150 x 100 = 92% 92 x 40% = 36.8%
Major/Specialization 74/150 74/150 x 100 = 49.3% 49.3 x 40% = 19.72%
Total & Remarks 75.58% FAILED

Explanation: In this example, Teacher A obtained a general rating of 75.58. However, her remark is FAILED because, according to the Board for Professional Teachers, she scored below 50% in her specialization. Therefore, even if you meet the passing grade, if you score below 50% in any subject, your remark is still FAILED.

Core Subjects Score Calculation (Score / 150 × 100) Weighted Average
General Education 74/150 74/150 x 100 = 49.3% 49.3 x 40% = 19.72%
Professional Education 145/150 145/150 x 100 = 96.6% 96.6 x 60% = 57.96%
Total & Remarks 77.68% FAILED

Explanation: In Example #2, Teacher A obtained a general rating of 77.68%. However, under the guidelines, she is not qualified to pass the exam because she obtained a rating of 49.3 in General Education.

Core Subjects Score Calculation (Score / 150 × 100) Weighted Average
General Education 143/150 143/150 x 100 = 95.3% 95.3 x 20% = 19.06%
Professional Education 138/150 138/150 x 100 = 92% 92 x 40% = 36.8%
Major/Specialization 75/150 75/150 x 100 = 50% 50 x 40% = 20%
Total & Remarks 75.86% PASSED

Explanation: As you can see, the examinee received a PASSED remark because, aside from meeting the general rating of 75, they had no subject scores below 50% (exactly 50% in the Major/Specialization).

Core Subjects Score Calculation (Score / 150 × 100) Weighted Average
General Education 75/150 75/150 x 100 = 50% 50 x 40% = 20%
Professional Education 140/150 140/150 x 100 = 93.3% 93.3 x 60% = 55.98%
Total & Remarks 75.98% PASSED

Explanation: In this example, the candidate received a PASSED remark because they met the general rating of 75 and had no subject scores below 50% (achieving exactly 50% in General Education).

So passing the board requires a minimum GWA of 75% and no scores below 50%.
