It examined how students in different fields of specialization performed in the licensure exam and if there is a relationship between academic performance, scholastic intelligence, and licensure exam results in four components, i.e., general, professional, specialization, and overall results. This study utilized descriptive-correlational design. Data were gathered from the records of 65 purposively selected Secondary Education graduates. Academic performance was measured through the respondents’ GPA in General Education, Field </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Study, Professional Education subjects and their overall </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">rating. Mental ability of the students was measured </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">through Otis-Lennon School Ability Test (OLSAT). The study </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">found out that the students have an </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">average </span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">score in their OLSAT and a </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">good </span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">academic performance. In the analysis of data, the college have a </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">poor </span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">performance in LET but not failing. Both the students’ academic performance and OLSAT correlate positively to the LET result. In terms of specializations, only the program under Language-History and MAPEH-TLE have significant difference in LET performance. The study concluded that only professional education under academic performance and OLSAT can be used as predictor for LET results.&nbsp;</span></p> ER -
