FAQ on Registration and Oath taking



Saan po kami makakakuha ng Oath form and documentary stamps?
Sa PRC mismo


Nakapag register na po ako and waiting for oath taking na lang pero di po ako bumili ng ticket di po ko makakapunta sa oath taking on Oct.5 sa PICC.When po yung oath taking ng hindi pupunta?
Bumisita sa PRC Office kapag kukunin ang license/ID, certificate at hilingin ang PRC official na mag-take ka ng oath.


Hi good PM. Sorry to ask po again. Just want to know if ever po ba na hindi pa ako nakapag bayad ng 1050 sa pre-registration. Hindi po ba ako pwede magattend ng oath taking kahit may ticket na? 
Yo can attend the oath taking but PRC will not release your ID and certification since you are not paid yet. Your registration number appears or reflected in your ID and the certificate issued after the  oath taking.


Ask ko lang po ulit if kasama na dun sa Php700 ticket ang food sa oath taking sa PICC?
Per person ang bayad, passer at guest o yung kanyang kasama sa oath taking (entrance fee, seat, food and drinks).


Is it true that there is a morning and afternoon oath taking session (Nagkakaubusan daw po kasi ng pang-afternoon oath taking eh)?
Tama, may pang-umaga at pang-hapon dahil madami na ang magtake ng oath.
Morning oath taking - 9:00 AM
Afternoon oath taking - 1:30 PM


Anong oras matatapos?
Marahil mga 2-3 hours ang program lalo na may pang hapon pa na oath taking. Check ang PRC or PAP sa program.


Good morning po. Itatanong ko lang po. If pwede po bang next year oath taking nalang po 
sumabay yung passer ng year 2016? Tanong lang po. God bless po.
Hindi kayo allowed na mag-practice sa pagiging RPm kung hindi kayo nagtake ng oath kung balak nyo na sa 2017 pa kayo mag-oath.


Is there any outlet po for the ticket na pwede naming bilhan dto sa Vigan or Ilocos region po?
Sa PRC Manila lang po ang ticket outlet para sa oath taking, wala pong regional outlets.


Hello po, may update na po ba regarding the ticket for oathtaking for those who are based 
outside Manila?
PRC Manila lang ang bilihan ng ticket. Kung dito sa Manila ang oath taking nyo, magpabili na lang sa mga kakilala (ibigay ang inyong details sa kanila).


Good afternoon. Ang oath taking tickets po san po makakabili. Pag may 2 year old po bang 
batang kasama may bayad pa rin? Wala kasi mapapagiwanan.
Kung tungkol po sa bata subukan pong humanap ng mapag-iiwanan para wala na kayong ibang iintindihin pa at baka ma-bored lang ang bata sa event.


Pwedeng via online bumuli ng ticket for the oath taking ?
Wala pa pong online ticketing system ang PRC (for now).


Kasama pa po ba mga passers sa need bumili ng ticket? Or parents nlang?
Lahat ng papasok ng Plenary Hall ng PICC at dadalo ng oath taking ay magbabayad.


Required po ba n may magulang sa oath taking? 

Hindi po.


Hi good morning po, is there any news for the oath taking here in Cebu? So we can prepare, 
e.g., leave from work, attire, purchase the ticket, etc. Thank you! 😊 Also, I'm excited.
Wala pa po, check lang po ang inyong regional PRC office.


Hello po. Its me again.. question, pano po ung arrangement ng seats sa oath taking?
Per tables pa rin po ba xa o ung hilera nlng ng chairs this year?
Noong 2014 may mga round tables po  since may i-serve na pagkain at first come first served ang basis sa table free seating walang seating arrangement (may 3-5 tables reserved for guests, PRC officials at topnotchers in front of the stage).


Hi ask ko lang po kung may iba pa po bang nagbebenta ng ticket maliban sa may prc kasi po 
1 guest lang daw per passer. Isa lang binenta nilang ticketfor guests.
PRC lang po.


Nakapag oath na po kami sa prc ,in case na gusto namin na mag oath sa mga susunod na year sa PICC, it depends na lang po samin kung uulit kami ng oath ?
It is your decision, check PRC... I have not heard of repeated oath taking



May question po ako. Required po ba umattend ng oath taking para makuha license?
No but you can practice until you have taken an oath with any of PRC officials.


Hi, pwede po mag ask? kung hindi po ba mkkapunta ng oath taking, pwede po bang mgpabili nlng ng psychometrician pin sa klasm8 na mkkpnta?
Check po nyo ang PRC or PAP.


Hello po 😊 di po ba necessary mag attend ng oath taking sa Cebu or Davao? and saan po pwede maka bili or makakuha ng pin kung hindi makakadalo ng oath taking?
Check po nyo ang PRC or PAP.


Dahil po wala akong makuhang tulong mula PRC, hehe, itatanong ko na lang din po sa inyo 
kung paano ko po kaya mareretrieve yung account ko sa PRC Online if nalimutan ko yung 
password ko? Hindi po kasi nagana yung option na "Forgot Password" eh.
Visit and check with PRC.


My friend is asking, pano po ba nagiging conditional ung status?
Sa ibaba ng score meron pong nakasulat na conditional - kung fail naman po - tanggapin na lang po na fail. Basahin din ang batas anong ibig sabihin ng conditional sa link na ito -  http://psychometricpinas.blogspot.com/p/ra-10029-or-philippine-psychology-act.html


Nag exam po ko neto lang and yung general weighted ko po eh 74.80 is there any possibilities po ba na maconsider po ito?
Kung failed ang nakasulat sa ilalim ng score mo, tanggapin mo na ito at pagbutihin sa susunod na exam.


Helo may I ask, when is the next board exam? Thanks! Good day
Wala pa pong schedule, check lang po nyo ang PRC Exam Schedule. For 2017 maaring mga buwan ng Disyembre sa taong ito lumabas ang schedule.

Madalas na Tanong sa BLEPP 2016



MADALAS NA MGA TANONG
FAQ for #BLEPP2016


1) When is date of 2016 BLEPP?
Examination date will be on  August 30-31, 2016


2) When is the deadline of application?
Deadline of application is 10 August 2016
(Start of filing of application will be by July - check PRC website for announcement.)


3) Where will be the venues?
Luzon - Baguio, Manila, Lucena, Legaspi 
Visayas - Cebu, Iloilo, 
Mindanao - Cagayan de Oro, Davao,  


4) I failed the last time I took the BLEPP can I take again?
Yes you can. Read our post regarding requirements for repeaters here - 


5) What is the passing rate?
In section 18 of RA 10029. "Ratings in the Examination. - To be qualified as having passed the licensure examination for psychologists and psychometricians, a candidate must have obtained a weighted general average of at least seventy-five percent (75%) for all subjects, with no grade lower than sixty percent (60%) in any given subject. So, to be safe you must have a score of 75% or better for all subjects." Many of test takers are failing their Psychological Testing which is equivalent to 40%,  so even if you get a high score in the three other subjects but below 60% in Psychological Testing then the rest of your high scores will be pulled down and so tendency of failing the licensure exam. So the safest is to at least get 75% in all the subjects and not lower.  


6) What is conditional?
In Section 18 of RA 11029 "An examine who obtains a weighted general average of seventy-five percent (75%) or higher but obtains a rating below sixty percent (60%) in any given subject may retake such subjects within the next two (2) years, and upon obtaining a rating of at least seventy-five percent (75%) in each such subject, shall then be deemed to have passed the licensure examination." A case scenario would be an examinee who scored high on all three subjects but got 58% or 59% in Psychological testing, even if the examinee is high on the three subjects (say 90%  in all 3 subjects) thus earning a passing mark but failed one of the subject then the examinee's case  will be conditional. So he can retake again  (and should pass) only the subject s/he failed.


7) I did not show up during the examination day for some unforeseen reason, am I considered a repeater?
Yes since you have been counted as an examinee for that particular day. So your application will be as a repeater since you already have your documents filed with PRC. 


8) Any suggestion on how I should prepare for BLEPP?

Madalas na Tanong - FAQ: 2014 Psychometrician Licensure Exam



Madalas na Tanong (FAQ)
at mga ugnay na kawing/linked na SAGOT

1) What is BLEPP? 

Board Licensure Examination for Psychologists and Psychometricians is the official name of the board or licensure exam for Filipino Psychologists and Psychometricians that will be administered by the Professional Regulation Commission by virtue of RA 10029 or the Philippine Psychology Act of 2009.


2) What is  Professional Regulation Commission? 

The Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) is responsible for the administration, implementation and enforcement of regulatory policies on the regulation and licensing of various professions and occupations under its jurisdiction. It is the instrument of the Filipino people in securing for the nation a reliable, trustworthy, and progressive system of developing professionals whose personal integrity and spiritual values are solid and respected, whose competencies are globally competitive, and whose commitment to serve the Filipino nation and the whole community is strong and steadfast.


3) Why do we need to take the board exam? 

In line with the implementation of RA 10029 or Philippine Psychology Act of 2009, Psychometrician and Psychology is now a regulated profession in the country. Psychology undergraduates/graduates  who passed the board exam will be given licensed to practice their profession as Psychometrician or Psychologist. A license is leverage for new graduates in their job application or an eligibility for promotion or career advancement for those who are not qualified for the grandfather clause of the law.   


4)  What is grandfather clause?

The grandfather clause allows individuals to be registered as Psychometrician without taking the board exam for as long as they satisfy the requirements of Sec 17 of RA 10029.



5) Who should take the board exam?

The following are the qualifications for those who will be allowed to apply for the board exam:

(b) Holds at least a bachelor's degree (note: course/graduates of AB, BS, MA, MS in Psychology/other title for as long as you have taken the 4 subjects or its equivalent to be taken up in the licensure exam) in psychology conferred by a university, college or school in the Philippines or abroad recognized/accredited by the CHED and has obtained sufficient credits for the subjects covered in the examinations; 
(c) Is of good moral character; and 
(d) Has not been convicted of an offense involving moral turpitude. 



6) When is the deadline of application and the examination date of the first ever board exam?

Deadline of application is 8 October 2014
Examination date will be 28-19 of October 2014


7) What will be the coverage of the board exam?

As mandated in RA 10029 the board exam for Psychometrician will cover Industrial Psychology, Psychological Assessment, Abnormal Psychology and Theories of Personality. The Tables of Specifications provide particular general description of topics that will be covered by the board exam including the number of items and its corresponding percentages. 
http://psychometricpinas.blogspot.com/p/chedcourse-specification.html  (CHED Course Specifications for Psychology Program - provides the course description and  the coverage or course topics.)


7.1 What are the required/prescribed  textbooks? 

Wala pong prescribed na textbook/s for the licensure board exam  (like in any board exams) since each school uses different textbooks. Up until now wala pa rin pong Industrial Psychology textbook na authored ng isang Filipino Psychologist widely available sa mga bookstores and used as textbook in the Philippines - correct us if we are wrong.






7.2 What is outcome-based assessment?

Dr. Imelda Virgina G. Villar, Board Member of the Board of Psychology of the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) in her presentation at the Orientation for the Psychology Licensure Exam held on 18 June 2014, she informed a full packed PSSC Auditorium that Psychology will be the first profession to offer Outcome-based Board Exam in the Philippines. Aside from the Board Licensure Examination for Psychologists and Psychometricians (BLEPP) being implemented this coming October for the first time is another milestone in the history of Psychology in the Philippines.
