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.

Status of Repeaters for the 2015 BLEPsychometrician


Further processing the result of the BLEPP 2015 we took a look at the status of 2015 Repeaters. We took into consideration those schools with repeaters having a total of 6 and above examinees. There were several schools with a total of 5 repeater-examinees but they were not considered for this data.

Our list above has a total  109 repeater-examinees from different schools with 6 and above examinees (the highest number is 20).  A total of 50 repeaters (49%) from the list passed and 59 (58%) failed anew. 

It should be noted that a mere 20% of those who failed in 2014 were repeaters for 2015 just from our data above. But it can be assumed that the percentage of repeaters is generally  much more lower given that those with 5 and lower number of examinees were not taken into account for this table.

Ateneo de Davao University and Saint Louis University got 71.43% repeaters passing for 2015. Far Eastern University got 58.33% and both New Era University and Our Lady of Fatima - Quezon City both got 50% passing rate.

With 20 examinees, New Era has the most number of repeaters who took the BLEPP 2015, followed by FEU with 12 examinees and De La Salle - Lipa with 11 examinees. It is unfortunate for the University of the Assumption that nobody passed from among its 6 repeater-examinees.
