Passing the board exam for teachers or the Licensure Exam for Teachers (LET) demands a lot of time and mental
e ort. Sometimes, the money is also needed to review on review centers. However, for those who have decided to
study on their own, nding review guides online may be hard. Well, they can but the results of online research may be
unorganized. Not to mention that such activity requires patience, determination, and resourcefulness.

Anyway, if you were like me whose focus is English for LET [well, its really Mass Communications with 18 units of Educ.]
or majored in English in College, you may want to take a look at these online resources I gathered. It is your own
responsibility and judgement on how to make use of these resources I found.
