First-timers vs. repeaters

First-timers: 5 ,200
Repeaters: 947

First-time success is often tied to intensive 6-month review programs. Repeaters who switched review centers reported big confidence boosts.

Understanding the MTLE Exam Coverage

Pay fees – via LandBank or GCash.
Choose appointment slot – earliest is May 2 2025.
