Some Facts and Figures and School Performance in BLEPP 2015



The table is a comparison of 2014 and 2015 BLEPsychometrician Performance. In 2015 more schools participated with an increase of 35 schools. A total of  4,466 took the exam producing a difference or increase of 1,184 examinees as compared to last year. There were 310 repeaters who took again the exam but only 114 passed (33.77%). The national passing rate is 46.15% or an increase  of more than six percent from last year. 



From the above table, among the schools with more than a hundred examinees, UST was the only school that achieved the highest passing rate at 89.25% or 7.34% higher than last year.  PLM posted an impressive 2-digit increase at 15.58% or 74.40% passing rate. Although New Era also posted a 2-digit increase at 10.03% but it failed again to reach the national passing rate, the school was able to obtain only 27.74% passing rate. For this year, FEU was the lone school that  have 243 examinees the rest are more than a hundred. Although SLU maintained to be on the national passing rate bracket, this year however, it posted a negative 6.38% or a decrease from its performance in 2014.




The table above shows two schools that performed well from our 2014 watch list, Our Lady of Fatima University-Valenzuela posting  40.29% increase and San Beda College with 30.99% increase from their last year's performance. Both schools surpassed the national passing rate at 46.15%.

Most of the schools posted a two digit increase in their performance except for Bulacan State Univ - Malolos, Centro Escolar University-Makati, Southern Luzon State University-Lucban and University of Makati that posted a single digit increase. But unfortunately all them failed to reach the national passing rate. 

However, University of the Assumption stand-out among the rest of the schools on the watch list for posting a negative 14.28% in their performance. From 28.57% passing rate in 2014, the school got 14.29% passing rate for 2015 for its 49 examinees.

2015 Psychometrician License Registration PRC Manila

Below are experiences our readers shared on our FB wall regarding their experience of 2015 Psychometrician License Registration at PRC Manila
 
4 hrs ·
Hello Co-Psychometrician na magpaparegister bukas at sa Friday, i-share ko lang ang aking experince kanina sa PRC.
Bago po kayo pumunta sa PRC i-check niyo na po ang mga kailangang gamit.
1. Duly Accomplished Oath (Kanina po bago ako pumunta nagdownload na po ako at nag print ng Oath. Nag search lang ako sa google para makita ko agad yung dinadownload na Oath. )
2. Kailangan ng Passport Size na picture in white back ground with complete name tag. (3 piraso ang nagamit ko, isa sa oath, isa sa ipapasa sa PRC, at yung isa ginamit ko dahil pinalitan ko yung picture ko sa Registration Record Card- siyempre mas maganda yung ipinalit ko. Hehehe)
3. Kailangan ng short brown envelop (susulatan ng buong pangalan at ng profession sa may Right corner.
4. Importante po may Cedula
5. Dalawang Document stamp na mabibili na sa PRC pag kapasok pa lang sa entrance, eto yung una kong ginawa. Tapos nag proceed na ako sa Window 12, Then sa Cashier na ang next.
6. Pera na pambayad Php 1050. 00. (Importanteng may pamaypay at may tubig sa pagbabayad sa may cashier kasi labas po ito, mainit at hindi airconditioned, pag nasaktohan po talag ng pila na mahaba talagang tiyaga tiyaga lang sa pag pila ang kailangan.
7. May isusulat sa likod ng registration record card. (Yung mga detalye makikita sa resibo, pagkabayad sa Cashier)
8. Ilagay sa window 8 ang Registration record Card na may sulat na sa likod. Antayin na tawagin ng PRC officer. Papapilahin na kayo at papaupuin sa paikot na upuan.
9. Pagkatawag sa inyo ng officer may kasama na siyang papel na iaabot sa inyo, Yun ang Proffesional's Registry Sheet. (At last makikita niyo na din dun ang License number kiki emoticon. Take note, kailangan pong pirmahan iyon, magdala po tayo ng ballpen o kaya ng signpen).
10. Mag aantay na lang po kayo hanggang mapunta kayo sa unahan at antayin ang inyong Turn, i-prepresent po sa window 9 or 10 or 11, depende kung saan kayo tumapat na window. Ipapakita duon at rereviewhin ng PRC officer ang mga sumusunod na papeles:
10.1 Sa loob ng short brown envelop ang dapat na nakapasok lang dun ay ang Isang passport size na picture at isang document stamp
10.2 Registration Record Card
10.3 Professional's Registry Sheet
10.4 Panunumpa ng Propesyonal
10.5 at ang Official Reciept

Kapag ayos na lahat ng papeles, antayin na lang ang gugupitin at ibibigay sa inyo na claim slip na galing sa Panunumpa ng Propesyonal. may ibibigay ang PRC na Officer na maliit na papel, Announcement o information iyon para sa Oath taking, ticket, dress code, venue and date.
Bongga after niyan, bibili na ng ticket. May nakapag sabi sa akin na sa Friday pa daw pwedeng bumili ng ticket, Php 1,000 hanggang September 1. Tapos pag September 2 to 4 ay Php 1,200; at Php 1,500 pag September 5 to 9 bumili ng ticket. ( Sana makabili ako ng ticket kaagad para mas mura, hehehe)
Sana makatulong ang information na ito sa mga Kapwa ko Psychometrician na una pa lang na mag paparegister sa PRC Manila.
Kitakits sa Oath Taking! God is good all the time. Mahal Niya tayong lahat.

Baseline Data: Survey Result as of May 2015


Another batch of respondents with our ongoing survey for BLEPP 2015. The trend or result of this survey is an iteration of the earlier survey result last April.


Like in the earlier survey there are more first timers than repeaters.


Consistent with the previous result, more females than males.


Majority of respondents are in their early 20's. 


Most respondents who are first timers are also graduates this year - 2015.



BS Psychology is the dominant course among the respondents.



Combining aided review through school/in-house or review centers/distance review 
would equal in number with those doing self-review. Similar to last year's survey result, many 
are self-reliant with their review. It is interesting to note that all of the repeaters from this 
batch of survey respondents are doing self-review.

Majority of the respondents are or will be pursuing graduate studies in Psychology.




Desired Specialization/Field of Graduate Studies
(Note: some are still undecided writing only schools they are interested to apply or responding with 2 choices of field of specializations.)

Unlike in the past when most Psychology graduates would take up units in Education and major in Guidance and Counseling there's a trend now of graduates doing their MA or intend to enroll in Clinical Psychology. Given that there's now a licensure exam also for Psychologists. So we foresee a trend of more Psychology graduates going to take up their MA or MS in Clinical Psychology.
