13 Tips On How To Pass the Licensure


Examination for Teachers (LET) the
First Time
We listed down some tips for you to pass the examination that all aspiring
professional educators wish to overcome!
1. TIME TO BEFRIEND NOTES AND
JOURNALS!
If you’re the type of person who likes to write down things, this won’t be a
problem for you, but if writing something down on paper is not your thing,
well, it’s about time that you consider it to be a part of your daily routine.
Research shows that when you write a thought or an idea on a paper, the
more you will remember it. Writing on paper stimulates a part of your brain
that makes you remember things more than just typing it on your cell phone
or your gadget. So take the time to consider writing!

2. SET A SCHEDULE
Of course, the scope of the test is so vast that you have to list down the topics
and courses that you have to review. It will be useful if you set a schedule for a
particular week or a specific month.

When I was about to take the LET, I made sure that I spent a day or two
reviewing each minor subject I took during college. Then, I gave almost one to
two weeks refreshing my knowledge of Professional Education and Major
Subjects. It was indeed effective! Setting a schedule made me more focused
on each subject and gave me more time to get to know those things I didn’t
learn from college. Establishing a plan also keeps you on track, and it can help
you monitor what courses or subjects you need to pay attention to!

3. GET TO KNOW THE SCOPE AND


CONTENT OF THE TEST
For you to successfully plot and plan your schedule for reviews, you need to
find out the scope and content of the examination first. This is given by
the PRC (Professional Regulation Commission) months before the examination
date. Each subject area will cover a certain percentage of the test so make sure
you give priority to those subjects who will mostly cover the test.
4. REVIEW YOUR WEAKEST SUBJECT
BACK IN COLLEGE
It is a big help. We all have a subject where we were weak back in college, and
so it is now our time to focus on them and get ourselves refreshed. Remember
that you have to take off from your mind you are weak in any subjects. You
may be slow in learning these areas, but all you need to do is you should be
confident that you can learn anything. If anything finds difficult, you can opt
for extra time for that subject and seek advice from people who are good at
them.

Typically, the reason why you are weak in a particular subject is that you don’t
have much interest in them. If you will your complete concentration in that
subject only that is also not good, so our advice is you give your one hour
daily to that subject at any cost and also try for some other option apart of
reading the books for that particular subject. You can try listening to the
audios or practically try to learn the lessons or topics which will always help
you to understand the question in a better manner.

5. PRACTICE SHADING
Conditioning is important. We all know how to shade but make sure that we
can shade adequately and correctly. Remember that just by a wrong shading
in one of the items on the test questionnaire, you can get a failing mark so
make sure how to shade correctly!

6. PRACTICE ANSWERING
SITUATIONAL QUESTIONS
If not all, most of the questions in the test (especially in Professional
Education) are situational. Don’t just memorize facts and information. Try also
to answer some review questionnaires which will challenge your logical,
reasoning, and analytical thinking skills. Practice reading longer problems or
questions. This will surely train and condition your brain to respond fast.
7. STAY HEALTHY AND THINK
POSITIVELY!
We are talking about your holistic health. The physical, mental, and emotional
health must be balanced. Make sure that you don’t get too stressed,
pressured, or overwhelmed by your surroundings. Taking the exam is indeed a
little frightening but don’t think about the fear. Remember that it is a
temporary feeling. Causing fear to yourself doesn’t just result in poor mental
functioning but to a poor diet and bad feelings as well. Make sure to manage
yourself by thinking positively. Focusing on the positive outcomes especially
until you are waiting for the exam results will inevitably produce excellent
results!

To stay healthy means to be ready in whatever activity you would have to


engage in. This means that when you are healthy during the test, your body
would be conditioned more to function well.

DIET

When it comes to your diet, you may feel like you deserve a treat, or that you
don’t have time to cook, but what you eat can really have an impact on energy
levels and focus, so keep away from junk food. Keep your body and brain well-
fueled by choosing nutritious foods that have been proven to aid
concentration and memory, such as fish, nuts, seeds, yogurt, and blueberries.
The same applies to exam day – eat a good meal before the test, based on
foods that will provide a slow release of energy throughout. Sugar may seem
appealing, but your energy levels will crash an hour later.

KEEP HYDRATED

As a final tip, remember that being well hydrated is essential for your brain to
work at its best. Make sure you keep drinking plenty of water throughout your
revision, and also on the exam day.

8. HAVE TIME TO UNWIND


Set a day or two in a week when you only have a few hours for review or no
review time at all. Remember that you also have to let your brain and body
breathe and get some fresh air. Anything that is done too much is not even
good.

9. DO NOT OVERTHINK
Most of us are good at thinking about the “what-ifs” of our lives. If you are
going to overthink the most negative scenario that you can ever imagine, stop
it! The time you would spend overthinking can be spent reviewing or doing
something to get the outcome that you desire. Not everything will always be
under your control, but you can still do something to at least affect the gravity
of the situation. Overthinking always shuts out the solution and focuses more
on the problem so don’t make time for it! If you do, it will make you
appreciate the moment you are in and the challenge you are up to! Positive
energy will also start to radiate you if you stop overthinking!

10. SEEK THE ADVICE OF


PROFESSIONAL TEACHERS YOU
KNOW
If you are already working as a neophyte teacher in the school where you are
teaching at or if you chose to focus on your LET review instead of applying for
a job, you might as well seek for the advice of teachers who have already been
through your situation. It would be nice to collect questions they remember
from the exams or if they can’t recall any, ask them some tips they can share.
They probably believe that one of the things they practiced when preparing
for the Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET) or when they took the exam
helped them to pass the test. Ask them about it. There is no harm in doing so.

11. ANSWER RANDOM TEST


QUESTIONNAIRES
Challenge yourself to answer random test questionnaires from different online
sources or review materials. It will help you get used to the nature of the test
and will condition you to analyze questions in a timed manner.

12. GET EVERYTHING READY


Make sure you get everything ready well in advance of the exam – don’t leave
it to the day before to suddenly realize you don’t know the way, or what
you’re supposed to bring.

And of course, you should not miss doing the following:

 Know the exact location of the venue of the test (especially your
seat and room number)
 Check the rules and requirements for the exam.
 Prepare all the materials you will need for the exam. (e.g., pencil,
black pen, eraser, pencil sharpener, ruler, calculator, or scratch
papers)
 Food or snacks, water, fan (because you might end up taking the
test in a not well-ventilated room), and handkerchief

13. PRAY
It’s always been proven effective. Don’t forget to rely on Him. He has good
plans for you, and if you always knock, he will still be ready to answer!

Good luck teacher! The gateway to the road of educating young minds awaits
you. It’s waiting to welcome you!
