Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between LET Elementary and LET Secondary?

LET Elementary is for BEED graduates who will teach Grades 1-6 (all subjects). LET Secondary is for BSEd graduates who will teach Grades 7-12 with a specific majorship (English, Math, Science, etc.). The exam structure differs: Elementary has no majorship section (40% Gen Ed + 60% Prof Ed), while Secondary includes 40% Majorship + 20% Gen Ed + 40% Prof Ed.

What is the passing score for LET Secondary?

You need a general average of 75% with no rating below 50% in any subject area (General Education, Professional Education, or Majorship). Even if your overall average is 75%, failing one section (below 50%) means you fail the entire exam.

How often is the LET administered?

The PRC conducts LET twice a year: typically in March and September. Application periods open 1-2 months before the exam date. Check the official PRC website (prc.gov.ph) for exact schedules and announcements.

Can I take LET without completing education units?

No. You must be a graduate of a Bachelor of Secondary Education (BSEd) program or have completed the required 18 units of professional education courses. Your transcript must show completion of these units to be eligible for LET Secondary.

What are the best review materials for LET Secondary?

Recommended materials include: PRC-approved LET review books (Lorimar, MSA, Professional Review Centers), this website's practice quizzes (800+ questions), online review centers (NEAP, PRC Academy), K-12 DepEd curriculum guides for your majorship, and past LET question banks. Focus heavily on your majorshipâ€”it accounts for 40% of the exam.

How should I review for my majorship?

Allocate 40-50% of your review time to your majorship since it's 40% of the exam. Review your college major subjects (textbooks, notes), practice major-specific questions (200+ items), study teaching methodologies for your subject, and review DepEd's K-12 curriculum framework for your specialization. Take full mock exams to simulate the actual test.

What happens if I fail one subject but pass the others?

You fail the entire exam. PRC requires no rating below 50% in any section. Even if your General Education and Professional Education scores are excellent, scoring below 50% in Majorship means you need to retake the entire LET exam. Focus on balanced preparation across all three sections.

When do LET results come out?

Results are typically released 1-2 months after the exam date. PRC publishes the official list of passers on their website and in major newspapers. You can also check results online via the PRC website using your application number. Expect results by May (for March exams) or November (for September exams).
