The Tarlac Agricultural University (TAU) College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) has announced a significant surge in its performance on the national Board Licensure Examination for Psychometrician (BLEP), with its overall pass rate soaring to 82.14% in the September 2025 exams, a remarkable 21-point jump from the 2024 record of 60.98%.
The results, released by the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC), reveal the depth of the achievement, as out of 84 total examinees from TAU, 69 successfully earned their licenses. The performance was even more dominant among first-time takers, where 64 out of 75 candidates passed, yielding an exceptional first-timer passing rate of 85.33%. This marks a significant increase from the previous year, when only 25 out of 41 examinees passed.
This extraordinary improvement is being hailed as the result of a concerted, institution-wide effort to elevate the standards of its psychology program. According to CAS, the shift involved refining curricula, strengthening review systems, and bolstering preparation programs to meet the demands of the psychometrician licensure exam, which is still relatively new.
