Yesterday I got my letter from the EPPP and I passed! Wa-hoo!

Now that I passed, I’m comfortable writing about it. It was really challenging and I didn’t confident that I passed either while i was taking the exam or when I left. Many of the questions I had never seen before and I had to just use deductive reasoning to try and find the best answer. I also changed probably 10% of my answers when I went back through the exam. Thank god I took many practice exams and studied through a study guide. Probably 10% of the material on the test I only knew because of the study guide. I’m also really surprised that the scores came back so quick. Supposedly they only report scores twice a month. I must have gotten lucky and ended up on the right side of the mid-month cutoff.

Next up is the California Psychology Supplemental Examination (CPSE)

This looks like it might be helpful in studying for it:

I’m really trying to avoid spending a few hundred on a course, but that may be necessary. Although the information is all very relevant to practicing psychotherapy (unlike the EPPP), the questions are pretty tricky.

I can’t wait for all this to be over with.
