What is the LET and who administers it?

The Licensure Examination for Professional Teachers (LET) is the Philippine national board exam for teachers, required to earn a professional teaching license. It is administered by the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) through the Board for Professional Teachers under Republic Act No. 7836.

What is the passing score for the LET?

You must obtain a general weighted average of at least 75% with no rating lower than 50% in any of the tests. Many candidates with an 80%+ average still fail because one subtest fell below the 50% floor, so aim for 75%+ on every subtest.

What subjects are in General Education and Professional Education?

General Education covers English, Filipino, Mathematics, Science, and the Social Sciences (Philippine history, government, and the Constitution). Professional Education covers teaching principles and methods, facilitating learning, child and adolescent development, curriculum development, assessment, educational technology, and the teaching profession.

How much does the LET cost?

The PRC examination fee is PHP 900, paid through the PRC LERIS online portal during registration. Review classes, reviewers, and travel to a testing center are separate optional costs.

Are these official PRC questions?

No. These are original OpenExamPrep practice questions modelled on the LET tables of specifications and the Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers. The PRC does not release actual past examination items.

Sample LET Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to test your LET exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Choose the sentence that is grammatically correct.

A.Neither the teacher nor the students was ready for the drill.

B.Neither the teacher nor the students were ready for the drill.

C.Neither the teacher or the students were ready for the drill.

D.Neither the teacher nor the students is ready for the drill.

Explanation: With 'neither...nor', the verb agrees with the nearer subject. Because 'students' (plural) is closer to the verb, the correct form is 'were'. The correlative pair is always 'neither...nor', never 'neither...or'.

2In the sentence 'The committee has reached its decision,' the word 'committee' is an example of what kind of noun?

A.Abstract noun

B.Collective noun

C.Proper noun

D.Material noun

Explanation: A collective noun names a group of individuals considered as one unit, such as 'committee', 'team', or 'flock'. Here it takes the singular verb 'has' and the singular pronoun 'its' because the group acts as one.

3Which word is the antonym of 'benevolent'?

A.Generous

B.Kind

C.Malevolent

D.Cheerful

Explanation: 'Benevolent' means kind and well-meaning, so its antonym is 'malevolent', which means wishing harm to others. The prefix 'bene-' means good while 'male-' means bad.

4Identify the figure of speech: 'The classroom was a zoo during the fire drill.'

A.Simile

B.Metaphor

C.Personification

D.Hyperbole

Explanation: A metaphor directly compares two unlike things without using 'like' or 'as'. Calling the classroom 'a zoo' equates it with a zoo to suggest noise and disorder.

5Choose the correctly punctuated sentence.

A.Its raining, so the flag ceremony was moved indoors.

B.It's raining, so the flag ceremony was moved indoors.

C.Its' raining, so the flag ceremony was moved indoors.

D.Its raining so, the flag ceremony was moved indoors.

Explanation: 'It's' is the contraction of 'it is', which the sentence needs. 'Its' without an apostrophe is the possessive form. A comma correctly separates the two independent clauses joined by 'so'.

6Read: 'Although she had studied for weeks, Maria felt unprepared the moment she sat down for the LET.' What can be inferred about Maria?

A.She did not study at all

B.She experienced exam anxiety despite preparing

C.She was certain she would pass

D.She arrived late to the exam

Explanation: The contrast word 'although' signals that her feeling of being unprepared conflicts with her weeks of study, which points to anxiety or nervousness rather than lack of preparation. Inference uses clues in the text to draw a reasonable conclusion.

7Which sentence uses parallel structure correctly?

A.The teacher likes reading, to write, and grading papers.

B.The teacher likes reading, writing, and grading papers.

C.The teacher likes to read, writing, and grade papers.

D.The teacher likes read, write, and grading.

Explanation: Parallel structure requires items in a series to share the same grammatical form. Here all three items are gerunds: 'reading, writing, and grading'. Mixing infinitives and gerunds breaks parallelism.

8Alin sa mga sumusunod ang tamang baybay ng salita?

A.Karunungan

B.Karununggan

C.Karunongan

D.Kahrunungan

Explanation: Ang tamang baybay ay 'karunungan', na nangangahulugang kaalaman o talino. Ito ay binubuo ng unlaping 'ka-', salitang-ugat na 'dunong', at hulaping '-an', na nagiging 'karunungan'.

9Ano ang kahulugan ng tayutay na ginamit sa pangungusap na 'Ang mga bituin ay kumikindat sa langit'?

A.Pagtutulad

B.Pagbibigay-katauhan

C.Pagmamalabis

D.Pagtawag

Explanation: Ang 'pagbibigay-katauhan' o personipikasyon ay nagbibigay ng katangian ng tao sa bagay na walang buhay. Dito, ang mga bituin ay binigyan ng kakayahang 'kumindat', na gawa ng tao.

10Sino ang itinuturing na Pambansang Bayani ng Pilipinas at sumulat ng nobelang 'Noli Me Tangere'?

A.Andres Bonifacio

B.Jose Rizal

C.Apolinario Mabini

D.Emilio Aguinaldo

Explanation: Si Dr. Jose Rizal ang itinuturing na Pambansang Bayani at sumulat ng 'Noli Me Tangere' at 'El Filibusterismo' na naglantad sa abuso ng mga Espanyol. Ang kanyang mga akda ay nagpukaw ng diwang makabayan.
