LET Trend: The Efficacy of CARL Method in Answering Multiple-Choice Questions of the DYCI REIMAGINED Program Examinations

Multiple-choice examinations are most often the type of exams being used by different academic institutions. This examination aims to measure the knowledge acquired by students. Hence, this examination type is predominantly used by Dr. Yanga’s Colleges, Inc. with their newly established REIMAGINED Learning Program created in response to the new normal education brought by the pandemic. Furthermore, a strategy cultivated for this type of examination was introduced by Dr. Carl Balita, the proponent of the CARL Method. It stands for Comprehension, Anticipation, Removal, and Leverage. It is used by Licensure Examinations for teacher takers. However, in this study, researchers aim to answer the following questions: 1.) Applicability of the CARL Method in four learning areas of REIMAGINED Program, namely: Mathematics, Science, Culture, and English. 2.) Time-Efficiency among CARL Method users and non-users, and 3.) Confidence Level of CARL Method Utilizers and Non-users. The study was quantitative, true-experimental research, followed by a pretest and posttest design where intervention was done in between, stratified sampling was used in choosing participants, and cultivation of ANCOVA was for statistical treatment. Finally, in the end, researchers found that CARL Method can be applied in all learning areas of REIMAGINED Learning Program: Mathematics, Science, Culture, and English. Moreover, through the utilization of the CARL Method, it shows that the time allotted by CARL Method users is much longer than that of nonusers. Also, CARL Method users seem to manifest a higher level of confidence once the application of the strategy was utilized.
