A descriptive-correlational research design was employed, involving 279 respondents from Nursing, Medical Technology, Pharmacy, Physical Therapy, Psychology, and Radiologic Technology programs. Data on study habits (duration, frequency, learning tools, learning styles, learning distractions, perceived preparation for study in academic, financial, emotional, social, mental, environmental and physical areas) were collected from a structured questionnaire. The findings revealed that respondents preferred reading/writing and visual learning styles, incorporated printed books/handouts, flashcards and notes as learning tools, and had moderate durations and frequencies of studying. Social media, messaging apps, and fatigue/sleepiness were identified as the primary sources of distraction. Respondents showed a moderate-to-high level of perceived preparedness (grand mean 3.263, SD=0.719). Statistical analysis revealed significant correlations between study habits and the seven dimensions of preparedness (p <0.05). Importantly, the frequency of study and the learning style had a more selective association with preparation while the frequency of study had the highest and most consistent association in all the categories. The results underscore the importance of regular study routines, planned study schedules, and supportive learning experiences in increasing the likelihood of success for individuals taking the licensing exam. The study provides practical recommendations to support cognitive and non-cognitive elements to enhance students, teachers, and families' preparedness. author Antioquia, Aminah N. author Apostol, Anne Marjorie C. author Armintia, Faustine May S. author Baco, Kate Q. author Coloma, Louella Francine C. author Pacheca, Dave Angelo A. lcc TH EAC Cavite-Thesis 0 100679 100679 0 0 lcc 0 0 CAVITE CAVITE EAC Cavite-Thesis 2026-11-10 0 T PT C67 2026 ML-TH2846 2026-11-10 10:14:00 2026-11-10 TH
