Comprehensive Guide to the Examination for Professional Practice in Psychology (EPPP)

Overview of the EPPP

The Examination for Professional Practice in Psychology (EPPP) is a crucial step for individuals seeking licensure as a psychologist. Administered by the Association of State and Provincial Psychology Boards (ASPPB), this exam is designed to assess the foundational knowledge and skills required for competent practice in psychology.

Eligibility for the EPPP

To be eligible for the EPPP, candidates must first apply for licensure with the relevant licensing authority in their state, province, or territory. Here’s a step-by-step guide to ensure you meet all requirements:

  1. Submit Your Application:
    • Apply to the licensing authority in your jurisdiction. They will review your credentials to ensure compliance with local laws and regulations.
  2. Authorization:
    • Upon meeting the eligibility criteria, the licensing authority will authorize you to take the EPPP. You will then receive an invitation to register for the exam via Certemy.com.
  3. Schedule EPPP Part 2 – Skills:
    • To schedule the EPPP Part 2 (Skills), you must have a passing score on EPPP Part 1 (Knowledge). The recommended passing score for Independent Practice is 500, though New York State uses a converted passing score of 75.
    • If you have achieved a passing score for Part 1, allow up to 5 business days for your score to be updated in the system before scheduling Part 2. If you encounter issues, contact ASPPB at ASPPB Contact.
  4. Supervised Practice:
    • For Supervised Practice, after receiving a passing score on EPPP Part 1, wait 5 business days and then contact your licensing authority to confirm eligibility for EPPP Part 2.
