Examination for the Professional Practice in Psychology (EPPP) - National Exam
An approved applicant may request to take the EPPP.  The exam may be taken prior to completion of your post-doctoral supervised work experience.  To request to sit for the exam, send (mail, email or fax) your written request to the Board's office.  Do not submit any payment to OBPE.  Your request will be transmitted to the Professional Examination Service (PES) in New York, who will contact you and provide application materials.
 
The PES reports exam scores to the Board on a bimonthly basis.  For example:  exams taken 7-1 to 7-15 are reported around 7-22; exams taken 7-16 to 7-31 reported around 8-7.  We will send you a letter notifying you of your score.  You may also login to the applicant tracking tool, which is updated as soon as score reports are received.
 
Further information on the specifics of the exam can be found HERE; or by visiting the Association of State and Provincial Psychology Board (ASPPB) website at www.asppb.org.
