INTRODUCTION Republic Act No. 7836 also known as the “Philippine Teachers Professionalization Act of 1994” is an act to strengthen the regulation and supervision of the practice of teaching in the Philippines and prescribing a Licensure Examination for Teachers and for other purposes. According to the latest statistics from the Commission on Higher Education (CHED), for every 100 enrollees in teacher education programs in the Philippines, only 16 will eventually graduate, on the average. On their first try, only five of these 16 graduates will pass the Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET), an exam graduates need to take before they can teach in public schools, given the country’s average national test-taker passing rate of 30%. For the other eleven repeaters, the average gets lower. The Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET) comprises of two parts for the Elementary Education namely: General Education (40%) and Professional Education (60%), and three parts for the Secondary Education namely: General Education (20%), Professional Education (40%), ad Specialization (40%). For both elementary and secondary, Professional Education gets the highest percentage needed to pass the BLEPT. General Education topics include English, Social Science, Mathematics, Information and Communication Technology, General Science, and Filipino.

Professional Education topics include Teaching Profession, Social Dimensions in Education, Principles of Teaching, Educational Technology, Curriculum Development, Facilitating Learning, Child and Adolescent Development, and Assessment of Learning. This “Yellow Book” by Dr. Carl E. Balita, consists of hot LET topics and past board questions that are most frequently asked in the said board exam. It is a joint effort by Dr. Carl E. Balita himself and his researchers comprises mostly of board topnotchers. This includes essential concepts on both General and Professional Education. It covers 1000 questions from important competencies of LET and choices are limited to two only. This strategy will increase retention and will help the reviewees be familiarized with the topics easier. 3
