Abstract: The Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET) is regarded as one important measure of the quality of training provided by colleges and universities to prospective teachers. This has led to the conduct of researches aimed at identifying the factors that may predict the LET performance of the graduates. This study is particularly focused on analyzing the academic performance of the 232 BEED graduates from the Nueva Ecija University of Science and Technology, San Isidro Campus from 2016 to 2018. It used the descriptive-correlational research design, with the graduates? LET results and permanent record as data.
