Level of Preparedness and Confidence of Graduating Education Students to Licensure Examination

This study aimed to investigate the level of preparedness and confidence of third- and fourth-year education students in taking the Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET) and its relationship to their commitment to taking the exam. The data was gathered through a survey questionnaire and analyzed using the descriptive correlational method. Results showed that the respondents strongly agreed to attend review sessions, go with people who motivate them, and push through despite difficulties. They also had positive attitudes toward learning, note-taking, and self-evaluation. Moreover, a significant relationship between confidence and commitment was found. These findings suggest that educators can enhance student preparedness and commitment to taking the LET by providing review sessions and support from peers and significant others. Additionally, promoting a growth mindset that views failures as opportunities for growth and learning may improve student confidence in taking licensure exams.
