Historical Average Passing Rates

Looking at long-term trends (2009–2025):

  • Elementary Level: Average passing rate of approximately 28–29%. Ranged from a low of 18% (2010) to a high of 51% (Sept/Nov 2025).
  • Secondary Level: Average passing rate of approximately 35–37%. Ranged from a low of 26% to a high of 72.62% (Sept/Nov 2025).
  • Overall: The combined average passing rate has been approximately 30% over the past decade.

Key Trends to Know

  • Secondary consistently outperforms Elementary — This has been true across nearly every administration of the exam.
  • September exams tend to have higher passing rates than March exams. This may be due to differences in examinee composition (more first-timers vs. retakers).
  • Recent years show improvement — The 2025 results are significantly higher than the historical average, possibly reflecting improvements in teacher education programs and review resources.
  • Over 800,000 teachers have been licensed through the LET/LEPT since 2009.

What This Means for Your Preparation

While passing rates have improved, the exam remains challenging. The data shows that consistent, structured preparation makes a significant difference. Focus on understanding concepts rather than memorization, prioritize Professional Education (which carries the most weight), and use practice questions to identify and strengthen your weak areas.
