Majorship Specialization Guide
Your complete roadmap to specialization mastery
🔥 120 items — Secondary Level Only
📚 What is Majorship?
The Majorship (Specialization) component of the LET is where you prove you actually know your subject. It's taken only by Secondary Level examinees — Elementary examinees (except BECEd, BSNEd, and BEEd with ECE/SNE majors) do not take this component.
This is your arena. Your moment to shine. The 120-item specialization exam tests deep content knowledge, pedagogical approaches, and assessment strategies specific to your field.
💡 Important: Confirm your exact specialization coverage with PRC during application. Curriculum changes (old vs. new) can affect your coverage, especially for MAPEH and TLE/TVTEd.
