Mathematics and Biological Sciences majors have been very lucky in the last three Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET), secondary level.
Early this year, nine Mathematics majors landed in the top marks. In September 2013, Mathematics and Biological Sciences majors claimed all top places with the exception of a Social Studies major in 6th place.
Twenty-four examinees shared the top ten spots in the LET administered on August 17, 2014.
Fourteen examinees were from Mathematics and 7 were from Biological Sciences.
The remaining 3 spots were from Physical Science, English, and Filipino.
Five (5) of these topnotchers in the secondary level were challenged, coached, and cared for at MindGym Philippines (MindGym also produced 4 topnotchers in the elementary level):
- Jose Dante Valenzuela Dela Merced, New Era University, Mathematics – 90.00 (MyReviewCoach.com)
- Lyndon Laborte Lazaro, PNU North Luzon, Mathematics – 89.40
- Gene Alexis Uy Vizcarra, University of the Philippines Diliman, Mathematics – 89.00 (MyReviewCoach.com)
- Brian Anthony Liban Biboy Gumiran, University of the Philippines, Mathematics – 89.00
- Ena Marie Magallanes Sarmiento, Catanduanes State University, Biology – 88.40

*Based on MindGym’s monitoring of LETers’ majorship or field of specialization
So, if you are lucky enough to choose your specialization in the 2015 LET, Mathematics and Biological Sciences will surely give you an advantage to top the LET.
However, taking the LET is only 1% luck and 99% desire for success. At MindGym’s Intensive Coaching for the LET, we tell our LETers that the right mix of (LET) goals, emotions, and knowledge can seal a good luck in the LET.
Remember,
Chance favors only the prepared mind. —Louis Pasteur
*MindGym Philippines advocates reforms in the Licensure Examination for Teachers, specifically, the reporting of LET examinees ranking by field of specialization. Join us in our 18-Day Intensive LET review program or two/three-Day LET Specialization workshop.
