In the quantitative phase, specific tools were applied, including the mean to determine the average participants' responses and the standard deviation to measure the variation in survey answers. Based on the result of the study, it was determined that the level of preparedness of fourth-year teacher education students for the licensure examination for teachers is very high. Additionally, the qualitative phase of the study uncovered the lived experiences and coping strategies of fourth-year teacher education students regarding their preparedness for the licensure examination for teachers.
