LET study guide
LET · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
The Professional Teachers licensure examination - commonly called the LET - is the Philippine licensure examination administered by the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) for candidates seeking the title of Professional Teacher. Passing it is the route to a Certificate of Registration and a Professional Identification Card (PIC), which are what employers, schools, and regulators actually ask to see. The exam is aimed at graduates of teacher-education programs and at practicing teachers who still need to be licensed. It is a multiple-choice examination organized into three components: General Education, Professional Education, and the candidate's Area of Specialization - which is why candidates normally review all three in parallel rather than sinking all their hours into one. The LET study guide has 3 sections and about 902 words.
01General Education: Breadth, Accuracy, and the Classic Distractors
General Education checks functional literacy across five clusters: English (grammar, vocabulary, reading comprehension), Filipino (wastong gamit ng wika, tayutay, pagbasa), Mathematics (percentage, ratio and proportion, elementary algebra and geometry), Science (earth science, biology, chemistry, physics), and Social Sciences (Philippine history, the 1987 Constitution, geography, economics). In English: subject–verb agreement, pronoun reference, tense consistency, and figures of speech.

Area of Specialization tests depth in your major - English, Filipino, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, TLE, MAPEH, Values Education, or another field. Items probe content mastery and the ability to apply and explain it, so memorized definitions alone rarely suffice.
