LET Reviewer: 5 Practice Questions with Answers
Are you preparing for the Licensure Examination for Professional Teachers (LET)? Practicing multiple-choice questions is an effective way to strengthen your knowledge, improve your reasoning skills, and prepare for the different subjects covered in the examination.
In this LET reviewer, you will study five practice questions covering mathematics, Filipino language and literature, cultural understanding, and social awareness. Each question includes the correct answer, a detailed explanation, an analysis of the other choices, a memory trick, and practical test-taking advice.
Remember that successful LET preparation involves more than memorizing answers. You must understand the concepts behind each question so you can answer unfamiliar questions correctly. The actual LET coverage and frequency of particular concepts may vary by examination schedule and specialization; these questions should be treated as practice rather than a prediction of the official exam.

Question 1: Positive Integer and Even Numbers
Question: If P is a positive integer in the equation 12p = q, then q must be a:
- A. Positive even integer
- B. Negative even integer
- C. Positive odd integer
- D. Negative odd integer
Correct Answer: A. Positive even integer
Detailed Explanation
A positive integer is a whole number greater than zero, such as 1, 2, 3, 4, and so on. An even integer is divisible by 2 without a remainder.
Given q = 12p, and p is a positive integer, multiplying 12 by any positive integer produces a positive multiple of 12. Since 12 is positive and even, q will always be positive and even.
For example:
- If p = 1, q = 12.
- If p = 2, q = 24.
- If p = 3, q = 36.
All these values are positive even integers. Therefore, choice A is correct.
Why the Other Choices Are Wrong
- B. Negative even integer: Incorrect because the product of 12 and a positive integer is positive, not negative.
- C. Positive odd integer: Incorrect because every multiple of 12 is divisible by 2 and is therefore even.
- D. Negative odd integer: Incorrect because q is positive and even, not negative or odd.
LET Board Exam Tip
When a question asks what a number must be, identify the properties that are always true. Here, the important clues are the positive multiplier 12 and the positive integer p.
Memory Trick
Positive × Positive = Positive. An even number multiplied by an integer remains even.
Related Concepts
- Positive and negative integers
- Even and odd numbers
- Multiples and factors
- Properties of multiplication
Classroom Application
A teacher can ask learners to generate multiples of 12 and classify each as positive, negative, even, or odd. This develops number sense and helps learners recognize mathematical patterns.
Question 2: Pag-unawa sa Payo sa Panitikan
Tanong: Ang payo ng pare sa rebelde bago sumagot sa mataas na opisyal ay:
- A. Makinig at isulat ang sagot
- B. Tumigil at bumati muna
- C. Tumigil sa ginagawa at makinig
- D. Makinig nang mabuti
Sagot ayon sa ibinigay na answer key: D. Makinig nang mabuti
Detalyadong Paliwanag
Ang pangunahing ideya ng sagot na “Makinig nang mabuti” ay ang kahalagahan ng maingat na pakikinig bago sumagot. Sa pakikipag-usap sa isang nakatataas na opisyal, mahalagang unawain muna ang tanong o pahayag upang makapagbigay ng angkop at wastong tugon.
Sa pag-aaral ng Filipino, mahalagang suriin ang konteksto ng isang akda, ang mga tauhan, ang kanilang ugnayan, at ang dahilan sa likod ng kanilang mga kilos. Gayunman, dahil walang pamagat o sipi ng pinagmulang akda sa tanong, dapat beripikahin ang sagot gamit ang orihinal na teksto.
Bakit Mali ang Iba Pang Pagpipilian?
- A. Makinig at isulat ang sagot: May dagdag na kilos na pagsusulat na hindi malinaw na hinihingi sa tanong.
- B. Tumigil at bumati muna: Nakatuon ito sa pagbati, hindi sa pangunahing payong makinig bago sumagot.
- C. Tumigil sa ginagawa at makinig: Maaaring angkop sa ilang sitwasyon, ngunit hindi ito ang sagot na minarkahan sa ibinigay na answer key.
LET Board Exam Tip
Sa mga tanong tungkol sa panitikan, huwag umasa lamang sa pangkalahatang lohika. Hanapin ang detalye sa akda na sumusuporta sa sagot. Kung may sipi o pamagat, gamitin ito bilang pangunahing batayan.
Memory Trick
Makinig → Unawain → Saka sumagot. Ang maingat na pakikinig ay mahalagang kasanayan sa komunikasyon.
Related Concepts
- Pag-unawa sa binasa
- Pakikinig at komunikasyon
- Pagsusuri sa tauhan at tagpuan
- Pagbibigay-kahulugan sa konteksto
Classroom Application
Maaaring magbigay ang guro ng maikling diyalogo at ipatukoy sa mga mag-aaral ang pangunahing mensahe, layunin ng nagsasalita, at angkop na tugon. Sa ganitong paraan, nahahasa ang aktibong pakikinig at pag-unawa.
Question 3: Ethnocentrism and Cultural Understanding
Question: If you keep seeing your ways of doing things as the right way and everybody else’s as the wrong way, you tend to have the attitude called:
- A. Cultural relativism
- B. Ethical relativism
- C. Ethnocentrism
- D. Xenophobia
Correct Answer: C. Ethnocentrism
Detailed Explanation
Ethnocentrism is the tendency to evaluate other cultures using the standards and values of one's own culture, often treating one's own customs as superior or more correct.
For example, a person may assume that their community's food, clothing, language, or traditions are the only proper ways to live and that other cultural practices are inferior. This attitude can lead to prejudice, misunderstanding, and discrimination.
Why the Other Choices Are Wrong
- A. Cultural relativism: This means understanding a culture within its own context rather than judging it automatically by another culture's standards. It contrasts with ethnocentrism.
- B. Ethical relativism: This is a position in moral philosophy concerning how moral judgments relate to cultural or individual frameworks. It is not the specific term for treating one's own culture as superior.
- D. Xenophobia: This refers to fear, hostility, or prejudice toward foreigners or people perceived as outsiders. It may overlap with ethnocentric attitudes but is not the best answer here.
LET Board Exam Tip
Distinguish the key terms. Ethnocentrism involves judging other cultures by one's own cultural standards. Cultural relativism emphasizes understanding practices in their cultural context. Xenophobia specifically involves hostility or fear toward outsiders.
Memory Trick
Ethno = people or culture; centrism = centered on one's own group. Ethnocentrism places one's own cultural group at the center of judgment.
Related Concepts
- Multicultural education
- Cultural diversity
- Prejudice and discrimination
- Socialization and cultural identity
- Inclusive education
Classroom Application
Teachers can invite learners to share cultural traditions respectfully and compare similarities and differences without labeling one group as superior. This promotes inclusion, empathy, and respect for diversity.
Question 4: Alcoholics Anonymous
Question: Which statement on Alcoholics Anonymous is CORRECT?
- A. It is an association of alcoholics who remain unknown to each other.
- B. It helps alcoholics to avoid alcohol use and rebuild their lives.
- C. It is a group of businessmen bent on stopping the manufacture of alcohol drinks.
- D. It is a group of alcoholic parents who has made it its mission to help alcoholic parents.
Correct Answer: B. It helps alcoholics to avoid alcohol use and rebuild their lives.
Detailed Explanation
Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) is a fellowship of people who share their experience, strength, and hope with one another to address problems associated with drinking and support recovery from alcoholism. Its primary purpose is to help members achieve and maintain sobriety.
AA is not an organization whose main purpose is to prohibit alcohol manufacturing. Its approach centers on mutual support, personal recovery, and a program commonly associated with the Twelve Steps.
Why the Other Choices Are Wrong
- A. An association of alcoholics who remain unknown to each other: Incorrect. Anonymity is an important principle, but AA members can know and support one another. Anonymity does not mean members must remain unknown to each other.
- C. A group of businessmen stopping alcohol production: Incorrect. AA is a recovery fellowship, not a business group campaigning to stop alcohol manufacturing.
- D. A group of alcoholic parents helping alcoholic parents: Incorrect. AA is not restricted to parents. It serves people seeking recovery from alcohol-related problems.
LET Board Exam Tip
For questions about social organizations, identify the organization's main purpose and target population. Avoid distractors that introduce an unrelated mission or an unnecessarily narrow membership requirement.
Memory Trick
AA = Alcohol recovery through mutual support.
Related Concepts
- Community support groups
- Substance-use recovery
- Social institutions
- Health education and prevention
- Peer support
Classroom Application
Teachers can discuss how peer support, community services, and responsible health education help individuals seek assistance. Lessons should avoid stigmatizing people experiencing alcohol-related problems and should encourage access to appropriate professional care when needed.
Question 5: Bugtong at mga Anyong Pampanitikan
Tanong: Ano ang tawag sa mga tanong na tulad ng sumusunod: “Ang bahay ay paligid ng espada”.
- A. Salaysay
- B. Bugtong
- C. Dikreto
- D. Tula
Sagot ayon sa ibinigay na answer key: B. Bugtong
Detalyadong Paliwanag
Ang bugtong ay isang uri ng palaisipan na karaniwang binubuo ng patalinghagang paglalarawan. Kailangang hulaan ng tagapakinig o mambabasa ang bagay, tao, hayop, o konseptong inilalarawan.
Karaniwang gumagamit ang bugtong ng paghahambing, simbolismo, at mga pahiwatig. Sa pagtukoy nito, mahalagang tingnan kung ang pahayag ay naglalarawan ng isang bagay sa paraang hindi tuwiran at nangangailangan ng paghula.
Gayunman, ang pariralang “Ang bahay ay paligid ng espada” ay hindi sapat upang matukoy nang may katiyakan ang isang kilalang bugtong o ang inaasahang sagot nito. Ang classification na bugtong ay sumusunod sa ibinigay na answer key, ngunit dapat suriin ang orihinal na tanong kung ito ay may nawawalang salita o maling pagkakakopya.
Bakit Mali ang Iba Pang Pagpipilian?
- A. Salaysay: Isang paglalahad o pagsasalaysay ng pangyayari, karanasan, o kuwento. Hindi ito karaniwang tanong na nangangailangan ng paghula.
- C. Dikreto: Hindi ito ang karaniwang katawagan sa isang tradisyonal na palaisipang pasalita. Maaaring may pagkakamali sa pagkakabuo ng pagpipiliang ito.
- D. Tula: Isang anyong pampanitikan na maaaring gumamit ng sukat, tugma, talinghaga, o malayang taludturan. Hindi lahat ng tula ay bugtong, bagaman maaaring nasa anyong patula ang isang bugtong.
LET Board Exam Tip
Tandaan ang mga pagkakaiba ng mga anyong pampanitikan. Ang bugtong ay palaisipan; ang salaysay ay pagsasalaysay; ang tula ay masining na pagpapahayag na maaaring may taludtod; at ang alamat ay kuwentong nagpapaliwanag sa pinagmulan ng isang bagay o pook.
Memory Trick
Bugtong = Hula; Salaysay = Kuwento; Tula = Masining na pagpapahayag.
Related Concepts
- Bugtong at palaisipan
- Salawikain at kasabihan
- Alamat at mito
- Tula at talinghaga
- Panitikang-bayan
Classroom Application
Maaaring magpasagot ang guro ng mga tradisyonal na bugtong upang malinang ang talasalitaan, lohikal na pag-iisip, at pagpapahalaga sa panitikang-bayan. Pagkatapos, maaaring ipasulat sa mga mag-aaral ang sarili nilang bugtong.
