Further, the study compared the results of the licensure examination  based on the subject year taken. Using the quantitative research design, the licensure  examination performance data were obtained from the records provided and verified by the  Professionl Regulatory Commission (PRC). Meanwhile, the GWA of all the takers from 2014- 2019 were acquired from the Office of the Campus Registrar of the aforementioned University.  Results had shown that the mean institutional passing rate from 2014 to 2019 is 27.33% while  the overall mean of the national passing rate is 50.68% which reflects that the institution has  consistent low passing rate compared to the national. Similarly, it was discovered that most test  takers had difficulty on the subjects Theories of Personality and Industrial/ Organizational  Psychology. Lastly, the study revealed that the undergraduate GWA showed a statistically  significant positive linear correlation with the board exam performace (r = .291, p=.008).
